FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
PARCEL MAP NO. 30745 —WALMART
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Parcel Map No. 30745, prepared by
Development Resources Consultants, Inc., representing American Realty Trust, Inc., a
Georgia corporation, to subdivide property located at the "Skypoint Center", in Section
20, Township 4 South, Range 5 East.
SUMMARY:
Development Resources Consultants, Inc., representing American Realty Trust, Inc., a
Georgia corporation, has prepared an eight parcel Parcel Map for subdivision of property
located at the "Skypoint Center", in Section 20, Township 4 South, Range 5 East, This
Parcel Map redevelops the "Skypoint Center", a previous development approved as
Tract Map 19544, and facilitates development of the "Destination Ramon" project which
includes construction of a "Super" Walmart center and other various retail and
commercial uses.
BACKGROUND:
Development Resources Consultants, Inc., representing American Realty Trust, Inc., a
Georgia corporation, requests that the property located at the "Skypoint Center", in
Section 20, Township 4 South, Range 5 East, be subdivided into eight parcels for
construction of a new major retail shopping center, consisting of a new "Super" Walmart,
gas station, convenience mart, and another four retail commercial pads.
This development completely redevelops an older, undeveloped project identified as
"Skypoint Center". This area was originally proposed for another commercial use, and
Tract Map 19544 was previously approved and recorded which created the parcels that
exist today, including the streets named Skypoint Drive North, Skypoint Drive West, and
Skypoint Drive East. This area is located between Ramon Road and Sunny Dunes
Road, and between San Luis Rey Drive and Crossley Road.
Tentative Parcel Map 30745 includes abandonment of the public rights-of-way for
Skypoint Drive North, Skypoint Drive West, and Skypoint Drive East in accordance with
Section 66445 0) of the Government Code. The developer has coordinated with all
affected utility companies, and approval of the abandonment of these rights-of-way were
received, which is accompanied by the relocation and/or removal of existing utilities due
to redevelopment of the area for the Destination Ramon project.
At its meeting of March 24, 2004, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
Tentative Parcel Map No. 30745, including the findings necessary to abandon Skypoint
Drive North, Skypoint Drive West, and Skypoint Drive East. Tentative Parcel Map No.
30745 was subsequently approved by the City Council, subject to conditions, on April
14, 2004.

In addition to a standard Subdivision Improvement Agreement, included as part of the
City's approval of Parcel Map 30745 is an "Abandonment Agreement" which secures the
costs of removing all of the abandoned street improvements and underlying utilities.
This agreement provides for the City's ability to enter onto the property in the event the
Destination Ramon project does not proceed within two years following approval and
recordation of Parcel Map 30745. Once Parcel Map 30745 is recorded, the public rights-
of-way for Skypoint Drive North, Skypoint Drive West, and Skypoint Drive East are
abandoned; however, the existing streets remain until such time as the developer
removes them as part of the construction related to the Destination Ramon project. The
terms of the Abandonment Agreement will allow the City to remove the abandoned
streets and return the area into a vacant, undeveloped parcel without leaving what would
be considered private streets unmaintained by the City.
It has been determined that required conditions have been satisfied, that Parcel Map No.
30745 is in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Parcel Map, and that
Parcel Map No. 30745 is ready for City Council approval.

in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer (or his/her designee) and in full compliance
with all codes and the terms of this Agreement. Subdivider shall complete a functional or
operable improvement or facility, even though the Plans may not specifically call out all
items of work required for the contractor to complete its tasks, incidental appurtenances,
materials, and the like. If any omissions are made or information necessary to carry out the
full intent and meaning of the Plans, Subdivider or its contractor shall immediately notify its
design engineer who will seek approval of the City Engineer for furnishing of detailed
instructions. In the event of any doubt or question arising regarding the true meaning of any
of the Plans, reference shall be made to the City Engineer whose decision thereon shall be
final.
Subdivider recognizes that the Plans consist of general drawings. All authorized
alterations affecting the requirements and information given on the Plans shall be in writing
and approved by the City Engineer. The Plans shall be supplemented by such working or
shop drawings as are necessary to adequately control the work. Without the City Engineer's
prior written approval, no change shall be made by Subdivider or Subdivider's contractor to
any plan, specification, or working or shop drawing after it has been stamped as approved.

of the Works of Improvement as specified herein or as deemed necessary or desirable by
the City Engineer as determined necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
and to protect the public health, safety, or welfare. The City Engineer shall notify Subdivider
or Subdivider's contractor in writing (by Correction Notice) at the time a determination has
been made to require changes in the work. No field changes performed or proposed by
Subdivider or its contractor shall be binding on City unless approved in writing by the City
Engineer.
1.7 Defective Work. Subdivider shall cause its contractor to repair, reconstruct,
replace, or otherwise make acceptable any work found by the City Engineer to be defective.
2 /
1.8 No Warranty by City. The Plans for the Works of Improvement have been
prepared by or on behalf of Subdivider or its consultants or contractors, and City makes no
representation or warranty, express or implied, to Subdivider or to any other person
regarding the adequacy of the Plans or related documents.
1.9 Authority of the City Engineer. In addition to the authority granted to the City
Engineer elsewhere in this Agreement, the City Engineer shall have the authority to decide
all questions which may arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished and
work performed, and all questions as to the satisfactory and acceptable fulfillment of the
terms of this Agreement by Subdivider and Subdivider's contractor.
1.10 Documents Available at the Site. Subdivider shall cause its contractor to keep
a copy of all approved Plans at the job site and shall give access thereto to the City's
inspectors and engineers at all times.
1.11 Inspection. Subdivider shall have an authorized representative on the job site
at all times during which work is being done who has full authority to act for Subdivider, or
its design engineer, and Subdivider's contractor(s) regarding the Works of Improvement.
Subdivider shall cause its contractor to furnish the City with every reasonable facility for
ascertaining whether or not the Works of Improvement as performed are in accordance with
the requirements and intent of this Agreement, including the Plans. If the City inspector
requests it, the contractor at any time before acceptance of the Works of Improvement shall
remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be directed which have not
previously been inspected. After examination, the contractor shall restore said portions of
the work to the standards required hereunder. Inspection or supervision by the City shall not
be considered as direct control of the individual workmen on the job site. City's inspector
shall have the authority to stop any and all work not in accordance with the requirements
contained or referenced in this Agreement.
The inspection of the work by City shall not relieve Subdivider or the contractor of any
obligations to fulfill this Agreement as herein provided, and unsuitable materials orwork may
be rejected notwithstanding that such materials or work may have been previously
overlooked or accepted.
1.12 Compliance With Law. In addition to the express provisions of this Agreement
and the Plans, Subdivider shall cause construction of the Works of Improvement to be
completed in accordance with all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations.
1.13 Suspension of Work. City Engineer shall have authority to order suspension of
the work for failure of the contractor to comply with law pursuant to Section 1.11. In case of
suspension of work for any cause whatever, Subdivider and its contractor shall be
responsible for all materials and shall store them properly if necessary and shall provide
suitable drainage and erect temporary structures where necessary.
1.14 Final Acceptance of Works of Improvement. After Subdivider's contractor has
completed all of the Works of Improvement, Subdivider shall then request a final inspection
of the work. 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
3
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. Subject to Section 2.2 and 2.3 below,
Subdivider shall (i) commence with construction and installation of the Works of
Improvement thirty (30) days following City's approval of the Plans ("Commencement
Date"); and (ii) complete or cause to be completed all of the Works of Improvement two 2
years after the Commencement Date. Extensions of time for completion of the Works of
Improvement may be granted upon approval by the City Engineer or his designee.
Extension of time may be granted upon mutual agreement of the City Engineer and
Subdivider, either verbally or in writing, as required by the City Engineer or his designee.
2.2 Phasing Requirements. 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 Maieure. 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 66499.11-66499.20-3/4. 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 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. Time is of the essence of Subdivider's performance of all
of its obligations under this Agreement,

3.1 Labor Standards. Subdivider shall be responsible for causing all contractors
and subcontractors performing any of the Works of Improvement to comply with all
applicable federal and state labor standards, including to the extent applicable the prevailing
wage requirements promulgated by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of

performing any of the Works of Improvement shall discriminate against any employee or
prospective employee with respect to such work in hiring, promotion, seniority, or any other
terms and conditions of employment on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin,
ancestry, religion, sex, or marital status.
3.3 Licensed Contractors. Subdivider shall cause all of the Works of Improvement
to be constructed by contractors and subcontractors with valid California Contractors'
licenses for the type of work being performed.
