RECITALS
A.Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X 26, enacted in June 2011, and as modified by the
Supreme Court of the State of California in the matter of California Redevelopment Association,
et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al, Case No. S194861, and further modified by Assembly Bill 1484,
enacted in June 2012, and other subsequent legislation (collectively, the “Dissolution Act”), the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Juan Capistrano (“Redevelopment Agency”) was
dissolved, and pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34173, the City elected to serve as the
successor agency to the dissolved Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”). Pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Section 34173(g), the Successor Agency is a separate legal entity from the
City.
B.Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5, the Successor Agency
prepared a Long-Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”) that addresses disposition of the
real property formerly owned by the Redevelopment Agency.
C.The LRPMP was approved by Resolution of the Oversight Board to the Successor
Agency (the “Oversight Board”), a seven-member board established pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 34179 that includes representatives appointed by the County Board of
Page 1 of 17
November 14
Supervisors, the Mayor of the City, the Superintendent, the Chancellor of the California
Community Colleges, and Orange County Flood Control District.
D. The State Department of Finance (“DOF”) approved the LRPMP by letter
dated January 16, 2015 and approved as amended on February 12, 2016.
E. The LRPMP provided that, pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section
34191.5(c)(2), the Camino Real Playhouse site (“the “Site”), formerly owned by the
Redevelopment Agency, be transferred by the Successor Agency to the City for future
development.
F. Ownership of the Site was transferred from the Successor Agency to the City on
June 25, 2015, per Quitclaim Deed referenced by Recorder’s Document Number
2015000330091.
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows.
1. Purpose. This Agreement is executed with reference to the facts set forth in the
foregoing Recitals which are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. The
purpose of this Agreement is to address the allocation of certain prospective revenues
among the Taxing Entities that share in the property tax base (“Tax Base”) for property
located within the Central Redevelopment Project Area (the “Project Area”) formerly
administered by the Redevelopment Agency.
2. Site to be Conveyed for Development Consistent with Plans. In accordance with the
LRPMP, pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34191.5(c)(2), the Playhouse site,
formerly owned by the Redevelopment Agency, was transferred by the Successor
Agency to the City for future sale and development. The Dissolution Act requires that
any future development be consistent with the Redevelopment Plan adopted for the
Project Area, the Implementation Plans adopted in connection with the Redevelopment
Plan, the San Juan Capistrano General Plan and any other community plans applicable
to the Sites (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Plans”). The Playhouse site is more
fully described in Exhibit A.
3. Compensation Arrangement. The City agrees that, consistent with the LRPMP, in
connection with the conveyance of the Site, the City will remit the Net Sale Proceeds
to the Orange County Auditor-Controller for distribution to the Taxing Entities in
accordance with each Taxing Entity’s pro rata share of the Tax Base. “Net Sale
Proceeds” shall mean the gross sales price received by the City for the sale of the Site
and any rental or other income received by the City not previously remitted to the
Orange County Auditor-Controller from the date the Site was acquired by the City from
the Successor Agency to the date the Site is disposed of by the City, less actual costs
for allowable expenses incurred by the City, as shown in Exhibit B and in connection
with the management and disposition of the Site from the date the Site was acquired by
the City from the Successor Agency to the date the Site is disposed of by the City.
Allowable expenses may include legal fees, brokers’ fees, closing costs and title report
costs, but shall not include any holdback amounts, reimbursements to be paid by the
Page 2 of 17
City to the Site developer to handle, manage, remove or dispose of any underground
storage tanks, or any compensation for City staff performing functions associated with
the management, maintenance and disposition of the Site. The City shall not be
allowed to charge City staff time as an allowable expense pursuant to Health and Safety
Code Section 34171(b)(5).
4. Sale Procedures and Proceeds. The Parties acknowledge that City is obligated to
convey the Site for development consistent with the Plans. The Parties further
acknowledge that consistent with Government Code Section 52200 et seq. (added by
Senate Bill 470 adopted in September 2013), prior to the disposition of the Site or any
part thereof, the City may be obligated to hold a noticed public hearing and prepare a
report that includes, among other things (i) an explanation of why the disposition will
assist in the creation, retention, or expansion of job opportunities, increased property
tax revenues, and the development of affordable housing, transit priority projects and
sustainable development, and (ii) an explanation of the difference between the highest
and best use value and the disposition price taking into consideration development
constraints and requirements, and the covenants, conditions and development costs
required by the sale or lease. The City anticipates that the disposition price for the Site
may be minimal when remediation costs, the costs required for necessary public
improvements and infrastructure, and other development constraints are taken into
account.
5. Compensation Agreement. Health and Safety Code Section 34191.3 provides that once
an LRPMP has been approved by DOF, the LRPMP supersedes all other provisions of
the statute relating to the disposition and use of the former redevelopment agency’s real
property assets. Nonetheless, in compliance with Health and Safety Code Section
34191.5(c)(2)(A)(iii) and a directive from DOF, with Oversight Board consent, the
LRPMP provides that the City of San Juan Capistrano will enter into an agreement with
the Taxing Entities that addresses disposition of the Site that was conveyed to the City
for future development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section of this Agreement
will not be operative if a court order, legislation or Department of Finance policy
reverses the Department’s directive regarding such agreements, and in such event, the
City will be permitted to dispose of the Site even if this Agreement has not been
executed by all Taxing Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City agrees that it
will comply with the provisions of the LRPMP and Health and Safety Code Section
34180(f)(l) that require payment of Net Sale Proceeds to the Taxing Entities.
6. Distribution of Disposition Proceeds. Within forty-five (45) days after receiving the
final distribution of the proceeds of the sale of the Site, the City shall remit the Net Sale
Proceeds to the Orange County Auditor-Controller for distribution by the Auditor-
Controller among the Taxing Entities in proportion to their shares of the Tax Base, as
determined by the Auditor-Controller pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
34188.
7. Accounting Requirements. Upon request by any of the Taxing Entities, the City shall
deliver to the Taxing Entities an accounting of all such costs, expenses and proceeds.
Page 3 of 17
The City shall complete accurate and appropriate books and records of its calculation
of the Net Sale Proceeds with respect to the Site. The Orange County Auditor-
Controller shall have the right, on behalf of the Taxing Entities and upon reasonable
written notice to City, to audit and examine such books, records and documents and
other relevant items in the possession of City, but only to the extent necessary for a
proper determination of Net Sale Proceeds.
8. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Net
Sale Proceeds have been paid to the Orange County Auditor-Controller for
disbursement to the Taxing Entities, at which time it shall automatically terminate.
9. Miscellaneous Provisions.
9.1 Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices to
be sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in writing, and sent to the Parties at

in accordance with this Section. All such notices shall be sent by: (i) personal delivery,

referral to City Council for consideration.

hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, contains the entire agreement among
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior written or
oral agreements, understandings, representations or statements between the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof.
