�OQ Q P`M S'04 �2 W V N c 4<fFORN, City Council Staff Report Date: January 18, 2012 CONSENT CALENDAR Subject: APPROVAL OF TIME EXTENSIONS OF SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS From: David H. Ready, City Manager Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY A part of the City's approval of a final subdivision map is the concurrent approval of a subdivision improvement agreement between the City and developer. The agreement secures the costs of on-site and off-site public improvements, and provides a 2-year period to complete the improvements. Given the current state of the economy, many projects remain incomplete and it is necessary to extend the subdivision improvement agreements to ensure the City retains an ability to pursue the securities in the event a developer defaults. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING TIME EXTENSIONS OF VARIOUS SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS." STAFF ANALYSIS: Subdivision improvement agreements are approved as part of the City Council's approval of a final map for subdivision of property for residential or commercial purposes. The agreement between the City and Subdivider obligates the Subdivider to construct all the necessary public improvements, which are secured with bonds or other suitable security to ensure the improvements are constructed and laborers and suppliers are paid. The City retains the ability to call the securities in the event public improvements are not completed and the Subdivider has defaulted on the property. As the national economic recession continues to impact the real estate market, many residential projects have stopped construction and are on indefinite hold until the market improves. Terms of the subdivision improvement agreement require that the Subdivider complete the subdivision improvements within a certain time frame (generally two years , ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report • • January 18, 2012- Page 2 Time Extension of Various Subdivision Agreements from the City's approval of the improvement plans). As the real estate market continues to be impacted by the on-going economic recession, it is staffs recommendation that the City Council acknowledge that factors beyond the Subdivider's control have delayed completion of the projects, and requires an additional time extension to various subdivision improvement agreements. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 the City Council previously approved en masse a one-year time extension to various subdivision improvement agreements. Given the continued economic recession, staff recommends that the City Council proactively extend the following subdivision improvement agreements, as follows: Tract Map 30050 "Alta', extended to February 3, 2013 Tract Map 31263, "The Towers", extended to February 3, 2013 Tract Map 32160 "Enclave", extended to February 18, 2013 Tract Map 30046 "Monte Sereno", extended to March 18, 2013 Tract Maps 32233-1, -2, -3 & -4 "Escena", extended to April 2, 2013 Tract Map 32675 "Alexander Country Club Estates", extended to April 2, 2013 Tract Map 33561 "Palermo", extended to April 2, 2013 Tract Map 33162 "Pedregal", extended to April 4, 2013 Tract Map 31848-1 "Avalon", extended to May 4, 2013 Tract Map 32732 "Oceo", extended to May 20, 2013 Tract Map 33933 "Murano', extended to May 24, 2013 Tract Map 28966 "Preserve Estates", extended to June 18, 2013 Tract Map 31514 "Luminaire", extended to June 18, 2013 Tract Map 31525 "Four Seasons III, extended to June 18, 2013 Tract Map 33161 "Vista San Jacinto", extended to August 9, 2013 It should be noted that in most cases a majority of the subdivision improvements have been completed, but certain on-site improvements remain incomplete. For example, many of these subdivisions have installed base-paving (the first 2 inches of asphalt concrete pavement), but have not yet installed the final "cap" (the last 1 inch of asphalt concrete pavement). Delaying the final "cap" on the streets prevents the streets from being damaged during construction of the houses, and is often delayed until the very end of construction. Delaying the final "cap" also prevents the final adjustment of sewer manholes and water valves to grade, which prevents the City and DWA from granting final acceptance of those utilities. Of the subdivisions listed above, the following are projects that have not completed a majority of the on-site or off-site improvements: Tract Map 33561 "Palermo' (the second phase of the development has not been constructed, all off-site improvements are completed); Tract Map 33162 "Pedregal" (the site has been graded and the on-site sewer extension has been completed, but most on-site improvements are incomplete, and no off-site improvements have been completed); 02 City Council Staff Report • • January 18, 2012- Page 3 Time Extension of Various Subdivision Agreements Tract Map 33933 "Murano' (the site has been graded and two of the four on-site private streets have been completed, but construction of the last two on-site private streets has not started); Tract Map 33161 "Vista San Jacinto" (the on-site improvements remain incomplete); Staff will continue to coordinate with each Subdivider, and in some cases the property has defaulted to the lender, requiring staff to coordinate with a new developer or the bank on completion of remaining improvements. The City Council's formal approval of a time extension to the Subdivision Improvement Agreements establishes a public record of the action, and ensures that the surety companies continue to acknowledge the validity of the agreement and the City's ability to use the securities in the event of a Subdivider's default of the Agreement.

If items are found by the inspector to be incomplete or not in compliance with this Agreement or any of the requirements contained or referenced herein, City will inform the contractor of such items. After the contractor has completed these items, the procedure shall then be the same as specified above for the contractor's initial request for final inspection. If items are found by City's inspector to be incomplete or not in compliance after two (2) "final" inspections, City may require the contractor, as a condition to performing further field inspections, to submit in writing a detailed statement of the work performed subsequent to the date of the previous inspection which was found to be incomplete or not in compliance at that time. No inspection or acceptance pertaining to specific parts of the Works of Improvement shall be construed as final acceptance of any part until the overall final acceptance by City is made- Final acceptance shall not constitute a waiver by City of defective work subsequently discovered- The date on which the Works of Improvement will be considered as complete shall be the date of the Notice of Acceptance. 2. Time for Performance. 2.1 Commencement and Completion Dates.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, City reserves the right to control and regulate the phasing of completion of specific Works of Improvement as required to comply with applicable City ordinances, regulations, and rules relating to the timely provision of public services and facilities. In addition to whatever other remedies City may have for Subdivider's failure to satisfy such phasing requirements, as the same now exist or may be amended from time to time, Subdivider acknowledges City's right to withhold the issuance of further building permits on the Property until such phasing requirements are satisfied. Prior to issuance of building permits, Subdivider shall provide satisfactory evidence that all applicable requirements that are a condition to issuance of building permits have been satisfied. Such requirements may include the payment of fees, construction of improvements, or both. Final inspections or issuance of Certificates of Occupancy may be withheld from the Subdivider by the City, if, upon a determination by the City Engineer or his designee, completion of specific Works of Improvements or other requirements associated with the development of the Property have not been completed to his satisfaction. 2.3 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, Subdivider's time for commencement and completion of the Works of Improvement shall be extended for the period of any enforced delay caused due to circumstances beyond the control and without the fault of Subdivider, including to the extent applicable adverse weather conditions, flood, earthquakes, strikers, lockouts, acts or failures to act of a public agency (including City), required changes to the scope of work required by City, and similar causes; provided, however, that the period of any enforced delay hereunder shall not include any period longer than five (5) days prior to City's receipt of a written notice from Subdivider or its Contractor detailing the grounds for Subdivider's claim to a right to extend its time for performance hereunder. City Engineer shall evaluate all claims to Force Majeure and his decision shall be final. 2.4 Continuous Work. After commencement of construction of the Works of Improvement (or separate portion thereof), Subdivider shall cause such work to be diligently pursued to completion, and shall not abandon the work for a consecutive period or more than thirty (30) days, events of Force Majeure excepted. 2.5 Reversion to Acreage. In addition to whatever other rights City may have due to Subdivider's failure to timely perform its obligations hereunder, Subdivider recognizes that City reserves the right to revert the Property to acreage subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in California Government Code Sections 66499.11-6649920-3/4. In this regard, Subdivider agrees that if the Works of Improvement have not been completed on or, before the later of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement or within the time allowed herein, whichever is the later, and if City thereafter initiates proceedings to revert the Property to acreage, pursuant to 5 l l I�IIII�IIIIIf II IIIIII IIIII�IIIAII IIIII III(IIII IIII IIII e6?o�s°rf e 37eea Government Code Section 66499.16 Subdivider hereby consents to reversion and agrees that any improvements made by or on behalf of Subdivider shall not be considered in determining City's authority to revert the Property to acreage. 2.6 Time of the Essence.
