GENERAL These Rules are promulgated to implement the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for the Rohnert Park Community Development Project (the "Redevelopment Plan") regarding participation by owners and business tenants in the redevelopment of the redevelopment project area of the Rohnert Park Community Development Project (the "Project Area") in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan. These Rules set forth the procedures governing such activities. The Community Development Agency of the City of Rohnert Park (the "Agency") desires and urges participation in the growth and development of the Project Area in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan by as many owners and business tenants as possible. Successors in interest of original participant owners or business tenants may become participants at any stage with the written approval of the Agency. The word "owner" used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include business tenants. SECTION 2. PARTICIPATION BY OWNERS The Redevelopment Plan authorizes the Agency to permit persons who are owners of residential, business and other types of real property in the Project Area to be given an opportunity to participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area by the Agency. Such participation in the redevelopment of the Project Area includes, in the appropriate circumstances, rehabilitation of existing improvements, demolition and construction of new development, acquisition of property which is adjacent to the land of an existing owner for approved development, acquisition and assembly of property at other locations within the Project Area for approved development of an existing owner and the acquisition of the property of existing owners by the Agency for assembly and redevelopment by third parties who have previously committed to develop such property in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and the applicable development and land use standards of the City of Rohnert Park, California (the "City"). However, these Rules shall not be deemed to confer a right or expectation upon any existing property owner within the Project Area to obtain the permission, authorization or assistance from the Agency to participate in the redevelopment within the Project Area on any parcel of property which such owner may presently own. The Agency expressly reserves the discretion to evaluate competing proposals for redevelopment within the Project Area of existing owners, and in appropriate circumstances, to withhold or not offer owner participation A-1 opportunities for existing owners of property in connection with redevelopment proposals of third parties as approved by the Agency. A. Participation in an Existing Location In appropriate circumstances, an owner may participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area by the Agency in substantially the same location either by retaining all or portions of his property, or by retaining all or portions of his property and purchasing adjacent property from the Agency or from other existing owners. An owner who participates in the same location may be required to demolish all or part of his existing structures. In some instances, the Agency may purchase and demolish such structures. Such participation shall be subject to an evaluation by the Agency of the economic feasibility of such a proposal and the benefits which such a proposal shall confer upon the Project Area. B. Participation at Different Locations In appropriate circumstances, the Agency may buy land and improvements from existing owners, and offer parcels of land for purchase by other participants or third parties as approved by the Agency prior to offering such property for sale to the general public. In such event, an existing owner may participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area by the Agency at a different location within the Project Area. Such participation shall be subject to an evaluation by the Agency of the economic feasibility of such a proposal and the benefits which such a proposal shall confer upon the Project Area. SECTION 3. OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT Each owner desiring to participate will be required to enter into an Owner Participation Agreement with the Agency. Each Owner Participation Agreement will contain provisions necessary to insure that the Redevelopment Participation Proposal (as hereinafter defined) will be carried out, and that the subject property will be developed or used in accordance with the conditions, restrictions, rules and regulations of the Redevelopment Plan and the Owner Participation Agreement. Each Owner Participation Agreement will require the participant to join in the recordation of such documents as the Agency may require in order to insure such development and use. An Owner Participation Agreement shall be effective only upon approval by the Agency. SECTION 4. PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE A. Each owner interested in becoming a participant in the Rohnert Park Community Development Project must submit to the Agency a statement indicating such interest ("Statement of Interest") within twenty (20) days after notification by the Agency that his property or lease may be acquired by the Agency; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to confer a right or expectation A-2 upon any existing property owner within the Project Area to be permitted or authorized by the Agency to participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area in substantially the same location. The Agency may disregard Statements of Interest submitted after said twenty (20) day period. In the alternative, the Agency may in its discretion, proceed to the next step set forth herein prior to obtaining a Statement of Interest from an owner. The Agency will next notify each owner submitting a Statement of Interest of the time within which he may submit to the Agency a proposal to participate in said Project ("Redevelopment Participation Proposal"). B. Each Redevelopment Participation Proposal shall specify the form and manner of participation sought by the owner, shall set forth an accurate and detailed description of the project proposed by the owner, and shall include evidence of the proponent's financial ability to complete his participation in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. C. If , the Agency determines that a Redevelopment Participation Proposal conforms with the Redevelopment Plan, approves the Redevelopment Participation Proposal and determines that the proponent has the ability to complete his participation in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency may offer such owner or business tenant an Owner Participation Agreement. D. The following are the minimum Owner Participation requirements that must be met regarding the property involved: (i) The proposed development must conform with the Redevelopment Plan. (ii) The property shall meet, or shall be brought up to meet, at the owner's expense, a structural condition equal to or better than that required for a new structure or improvement of equivalent size, location, use and occupancy as required by the building and safety laws and regulations then applicable in the City. (iii) The improvements as existing or rehabilitated shall conform to the Redevelopment Plan. (iv) The owner or business tenant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Agency that he is financially capable of performing any and all modifications or rehabilitation or modernization on the existing property in order that it will conform to the Redevelopment Plan. E. The participating owner shall execute an Owner Participation Agreement in which he shall agree to proceed with the redevelopment of the property involved in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. A-3 F. In the Owner Participation Agreement, a participating owner shall agree to remove, demolish, alter, improve or rehabilitate existing structures and improvements on the property involved and to thereafter use and maintain the same in such manner as shall be required by said Redevelopment Plan and the Declaration of Restrictions. G. In the Owner Participation Agreement, a participating owner shall agree to remove or permit the Agency to remove any and all restrictions existing against the property involved which are contrary to those contained in the Redevelopment Plan or the Declaration of Restrictions and to impose or permit the Agency to impose said Declaration of Restrictions on the property involved. H. In the Owner Participation Agreement, a participating owner shall agree to make a part of any lease, rental agreement, occupancy permit, use or sales agreement pertaining to the property involved or any other document, a provision that there shall be no restrictions imposed thereon because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry. I. If a participating owner agrees to remove, demolish, alter, improve or rehabilitate existing structures and improvements on the property involved in the Owner Participation Agreement, the participating owner shall also agree to do so within specified time limits established by the Agency. If the participating owner agrees to construct new structures, and/or improvements on the property involved or to remove, demolish, alter, improve or rehabilitate existing property, the participating owner shall agree to do so only after plans, specifications and artist's renderings of the building have been presented to and approved by the Agency. The participating owner shall also agree to perform such construction, after said approval, within specified time limits established by the Agency. J. All owners who may be offered Owner Participation Agreements by the Agency, shall enter into such Owner Participation Agreements within the time limits specified by the Agency. K. All property owners in the Project Area shall have access to copies of said Redevelopment Plan and to such other public records of the Agency as on file with the Agency Secretary during regular office hours. Such property owners may meet with the Agency members at any regular or special meeting of the Agency to discuss the Redevelopment Plan as it affects their property; provided, however, that such owners shall make a request to meet the Agency members at least five (5) working days prior to the time set for such meeting. L. Each Owner Participation Agreement may contain a section designating the purchase price of the parcel of property involved for which the owner of such property shall sell such parcel in the event the Agency is required to declare a default or a breach A-4 of any or all of the terms and conditions of the Owner Participation Agreement, so that, in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, the property involved in an Owner Participation Agreement which has been declared to be in default may be acquired by the Agency for redevelopment in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, and upon such acquisition, the owner or business tenant shall have no further right to participate by virtue of an Owner Participation Agreement in the Project Area. SECTION 5. AMENDMENT TO THESE RULES The Agency may amend these Rules at any meeting held after their adoption after giving reasonable notice to owners who have submitted written request for such notice, and such notice may be delivered personally or by mail to the last known address of each such owner shown in the records of the Agency. /0054R 4#A,-A"'y ??-f0 RONO0002-23/0056R/kf 06/15/87 FORM OF DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIONS KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: THIS DECLARATION is made and dated this 7th day of July 1987, by the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA, a public body, corporate and politic of the State Of California (the "Agency").
