"Copelands")
2. Approve the Payment Agreement with Palm Street Parking Structure LLC (the
"Copelands).
3. Approve the Option Agreement with San Luis Obispo Court Street LLC (the"Copelands").
4. Authorize the Mayor to Execute all three agreements upon receipt of payment by Copeland
of outstanding obligations to reimburse the City for third party consultant fees.
5. Adopt a resolution finding that competitively bidding the Parking Structure is
impractical, unavailing and would not produce any advantage.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
This report is the result of several years of negotiations between the City and the Copelands
resulting in three legal documents for Council's consideration. At the core of the three legal
documents is a simple real estate transaction. Each party, the City and the Copelands,own property
the other is interested in acquiring and putting to more intensive uses. Specifically,the City will sell
the Copelands the current Court Street parking lot,where they will build a retail project. In turn,the
Copelands will sell the City their property at Palm and Morro Streets. The complexity in the legal
documents comes from the additional agreement that the City buy a completed parking and office
structure from the Copelands, which will be built on the Palm/Morro property.
The Copelands Project presents many potential rewards to the City. It is an opportunity to facilitate
the redevelopment of a portion of Downtown. Any project with significant rewards is not without
risks and this Project is no different. The City and the Copelands each have to accept some risk to
reap the rewards presented by this Project. However, we have attempted to minimize these risks in
the legal documents through specific language, various assurances, and conditions that must be
satisfied prior to exchanging properties.

DISCUSSION
Background
Beginning in 1999, the City and Court Street.Partners, LLC (the "Copelands") began discussions
about the possible re-use of Downtown properties, primarily surface parking lots, that could be put
to more active uses. The impetus for these discussions was the completion of an economic impact
analysis of a proposed retail development in the Madonna Road area on Downtown(the 1999 Kotin
Study). This study, anecdotal information from business owners, and requests from shoppers,
visitors, and residents, all indicated that Downtown would significantly benefit from increased
retail, restaurant, and entertainment opportunities. Additionally, many City goals and policies
recognize the importance of Downtown San Luis Obispo to our community. Downtown's
continued success as our commercial and social center depends on its ability to evolve and change
in positive ways. The assemblage of properties into one ownership and the reuse of land with space
for retailers in the range of 5,000 to 10,000 square feet is one of the most efficient ways to
accomplish this goal.
In September 1999, the Copelands presented a conceptual proposal to the City and the community
entitled, "Chinatown-Court Street: A Vision for the Future of Downtown San Luis Obispo,
California, Inspired by its Past". The Copelands proposal essentially involved real properties either
they or the City owned. In October 1999, Council authorized entering into exclusive negotiations
with the Copelands. Those negotiations resulted in two Memorandum of Understandings,that were
adopted by Council on September 19, 2000 (collectively the "MOU"), and outlined the necessary
property transactions to facilitate these goals.
Subsequent to the adoption of the MOU, several fundamental challenges with the originally
envisioned project were identified. Significantly higher than expected costs,engineering difficulties
with the site, and other issues were identified by the Copelands when doing their preliminary work
on the project sites, making it unrealistic to provide the underground parking solution originally
proposed for the Palm-Morro Street area. As a result of these challenges Council directed staff to
request that the Copelands come back with a different strategy for resolving the parking issues
created by their proposed development of the City's Court Street Parking lot, before the City agreed
to negotiate changes to the MOU. The Copelands worked for several months to come up with a
feasible parking solution and eventually their concept for the use of property at Palm and Monro
Streets as a parking and office structure was presented to Council for consideration. On December
11, 2001, Council approved the Amended Memorandum of Understanding (Amended MOU)
between the City and the Copelands to outline the revised terms necessary for the Copelands
Project.
Since the adoption of the Amended MOU, the Copelands Project has been identified by Council as
the highest priority private development project in the City. It is one of the largest and most
ambitious projects to be proposed for downtown San Luis Obispo in recent decades. It will result in
the development of the Court Street Parking Lot (presently owned by the City) by the Copelands
into a mixed-use retail, restaurant, and office structure. It also includes the development of the
K:\Council Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 3
property owned by the Copelands at the comer of Palm and Morro Streets into a mixed-use parking
and office structure (adjacent to the Library) by the Copelands for sale to the City upon completion
of construction.
The Copelands Project received its final development approvals last fall when Council certified the
Project's Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and granted a Use Permit for the Palm-Morro
Parking/Office Structure at its September 17, 2002 meeting. Additionally, the City's Architectural
Review Commission(ARC)granted final approval of the project on September 24, 2002.
Since receiving its regulatory approvals from the City, members of the City staff along with
economic and legal advisors, Allan Kotin and Herbert Wesier, Esq., have worked with the
Copelands Team to draft legal documents which will facilitate the various phases of this complex
transaction. The three legal documents and their attendant exhibits for Council's consideration are
Attachments 1,2, and 3 respectively.
The Transaction
At the heart of the lengthy legal documents, public hearings and regulatory review, is a simple real
estate transaction. The City owned property that the Copelands saw having the potential for more
active uses. The Copelands owned property that the City saw having the potential for more publicly
oriented uses. The complexity that arises in this otherwise simple real property exchange comes
from the additional agreement for the City to buy a completed parking and office structure from the
Copelands. The Copelands will construct a parking and office structure, which the City will then
purchase upon completion, because they can construct it faster than the City. The Payment
Agreement attached hereto addresses the purchase of the completed parking and office structure in
detail.
What is the City Buying and how is it Being Funded?
The City will make two purchases. The first, a purchase of real property at Palm and Morro Streets,
is shown on the Project Vicinity Map (Attachment 4). The second City purchase, as previously
discussed, will be the completed parking and office structure, located on that property. The
Copelands will buy the Court Street Parking lot area from the City,as shown in Attachment 4.
The purchase price for the Court Street Parking lot area is $1,962,000 (fair market value). The
purchase price for Palm-Morro Street is $1,263,263 (which is the fair market value of the real
property plus a share in additional costs required to obtain necessary easements). Copeland will pay
to the City, in cash, the difference between the sales prices of Court Street and Palm-Morro Street,
or$698,737.
Upon completion of the parking-office structure, the City will pay Copeland an agreed upon fixed
amount plus any changes, positive or negative, as a result of City change orders that have been
approved and agreed upon. The City will pay this amount through the debt service of a bond
issuance with annual debt service payments from both the General and Parking Funds. This is
different from a typical construction contract; in this case,the City only pays upon completion,there
are no progress payments. This payment plan is intended to give the City assurance that the project
KACouncil Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 4
will be completed. The fixed price, how it will be arrived at, and what the City's involvement will
be in accepting it are described in more detail in the discussion of the Real Property and Payment
Agreements.
What is the Transaction Schedule?
None of this happens immediately. Upon approval by Council, the attached legal documents will
serve to, in essence, start a clock. All of the transactions contemplated in the Copelands legal
documents have conditions precedent before they may be completed. If various conditions are not
satisfied, the transactions will not take place. More simply stated, the Copelands; upon satisfaction
of various conditions, will give the City notice when they are ready to begin construction on Court
Street, by means of a notice of readiness (or in legal terms a Lease Condition Certificate). The City
will then have three months to complete hazardous and archeological material mitigation work on
the Court Street Property and to prepare for the closing of escrow and exchange of real properties.
The City must receive this notice no later than August 1, 2003. If the City does not receive notice
by that date,the transaction will be terminated. If the Copelands fail to complete the construction of
the mixed-use project at Court Street, if they never start or if they get halfway and do not complete,
the City gets the property back through a reversionary restriction in the deed. The completion of the
Parking Structure will be guaranteed through performance and time and materials bonds.

Summary of Legal Documents
Before addressing some of the key issues that these transactions present, and to provide Council
with the necessary background information to review these key issues, a summary of each of the
Copelands Legal Documents is presented below.
t Referred to in the legal documents as the Lease Condition Certificate. August 1,2003 is the latest date on which Copeland can
give the City notice of his intent to Close.
2 For Court Street,a 12-month construction period is estimated. Also,Copeland's completion of construction means the structure
is ready for turnover to tenants for TI's(tenant improvements). It does not mean full occupancy and operation of the retail
center.
3 The City will be part of the rebidding process
°For Palm Street,a 14-month construction period is expected until the office shell and parking garage is complete.
5 The office tenant improvements will require an additional four months to complete.

The Real Property Agreement
As previously stated, the heart of this matter is a real property transaction. The Real Property
Agreement describes the real properties to be bought and sold and how and when this will be
accomplished. The Real Property Agreement is interconnected with the Payment Agreement so that
various assurances and conditions apply to both.
One important feature of the Real Property Agreement is its requirement that Copeland satisfy
various conditions before properties can be exchanged. A concern of the City is to ensure the actual
development of Court Street, as approved in our regulatory review. There are several assurances
which limit the Copelands development of Court Street to the already approved Project and which
impose reversionary interests to the benefit of the City should the project not be completed by
December 31,2005.
Another important feature of the Real Property Agreement is its terms relating to the Parking
Structure as specified in Exhibits H and H-1. The Real Property Agreement gives the City the
ability to be integrally involved in the rebidding process for the Parking Construction Contract,
which is necessary due to the passage of time since the initial bids were received. As a result of
this,the properties will not exchange until a price has been determined for the Parking Construction
Contract and inserted into the Payment Agreement. Rather than relying upon potential uncertainties
and difficult allocations as to responsibility for costs should bidding occur after the close of escrow,
the parties have agreed to this process to determine the Payment Agreement amount.
Real Property Discussion
Parties City and San Luis Obispo Court Street,LLC
Property The properties to be exchanged are described particularly in this Agreement and
its Exhibits and include:Court Street Project Property,Library Fee Property,Palm
Street Project Property, Library Property Grant Deed, Vintage/Tartaglia

Purpose of Agreement To describe the properties to be transferred between the parties and establish the
price for these transfers.
Library Interests A Grant Deed from the County,with conditions that it only occur upon the project
closing escrow, transfers the County's interest in the property necessary to
complete the Project's Library Paseo.
Payment Copeland to pay cash to City upon closing, which represents the difference
between the sale price for Court Street of$1,962,000 less the City's purchase
rice for Palm Street of$1,263,263
Easements Library Easement for access; Vintage/Tartaglia Easements for access, Copelands
Easement for access. Copelands will prepare and cause to be recorded at Closing,
a Parcel Map,for the assemblage of all lands for the Pahn Street Project into one
parcel _
Use of Court Street Project Court Street Project Property shall only be used for the development of the mixed-
Property use structure consistent with its approved plans. Construction may only begin if
the Copelands are in compliance with the Payment Agreement.

Mitigation of Hazardous and Each parry agrees,prior to Closing,to complete the mitigation work for hazardous
Archeological Materials and archeological materials on its presently owned property. Should this clean up
exceed $200,000 for either property, the parties have several options, including
possible termination of the Agreement.
Lease Condition Certificate Copeland will provide the City with a certificate stating they are satisfied with
leasing and market conditions concerns and include with it an estimated Closing
date. The Real Property Agreement terminates if this Certificate is not received
by August 1,2003.
Deed Restriction Limitations on use of the Court Street Project Property to only the approved
project. A right of reverter and power of termination to the City's benefit if
substantial completion of the project does not occur.
Parking Management Plan The Copelands will perform obligations under a Parking Management Plan
approved by the City and effective upon Closing for use during construction.
Conditions Precedent to Exchange Both parties have many conditions which they must satisfy prior to the exchange,
including the City's receipt of Copelands Lease Condition Certificate (Notice of
Readiness)and satisfaction of the rebidding process for the Construction Contract
to finalize the Payment Agreement fixed price.
The Payment Agreement
The Payment Agreement was referred to in the Amended MOU as a fixed price or guaranteed
maximum price contract. The Payment Agreement accomplishes the parties' original intent to
establish a base price for the construction of the parking-office structure. As Council is aware,
because of the passage of time since the original bids for the parking/office structure were received
by Copeland many construction items must be rebid. The rebidding process defined by the Real
Property Agreement, will occur between the time that we receive Notice of Readiness from
Copeland until 15 days before the Close of Escrow, which occurs 90 days after the Notice of
Readiness. To address the City's concerns and to verify the Payment Agreement's Fixed Price, the
Public Works director and other appropriate staff will be involved in the rebidding process.

The Option Agreement
Through an Option Agreement, the Amended MOU recognized the potential of the Copelands
original concept, which included additional development of City owned surface parking lots and the
Public Works building between Palm and Monterey Streets (the Chinatown Historic District
Project). By granting this option, the City will provide the Copelands with the time necessary to
refine the project concept and design and resolve possible issues associated with the development of
this area, including the provision of replacement parking and demolition of the City-owned building

Issues for Council Consideration
Payment Agreement and the Fired Price
The Payment Agreement is a complex document that establishes various obligations. First, the
Payment Agreement creates the obligation that the Copelands will construct a Parking and Office
Structure, as approved by the City' s development review process. Second, it creates the obligation
that the City pay for the completed structure. Third,the.Payment Agreement contains the necessary
details to facilitate the Structure's construction as well as the City's involvement in the construction
process to ensure its satisfaction with the quality of construction. Last, the Payment Agreement
provides the necessary assurances to both contracting parties about the handling of the risks that
could arise out of a construction project of this nature.
A central component of the Payment Agreement is the parties' acknowledgement of an initial Fixed
Amount, $10,641,715 (as presently defined in the Real Property Agreement)for the purchase by the
City of the completed parking/office structure. This amount has increased some from the fixed
price amount that was denoted in the Amended MOU. In the fourteen months since the Amended
MOU was entered into, several things have happened resulting in additions to the fixed price. First,
the City as future owner of the Structure requested changes to the Structure which increased its cost,
such as the addition of an elevator at the comer of Palm and Morro Streets to address the public's
concerns about accessibility and parking equipment for the operation of the Structure as a public
parking garage. The City, and its advisory bodies, acting in its regulatory role, caused changes,
primarily to the design and finish detail of the Structure. Those changes require the addition of
decorative steel, finished window openings, additional concrete pours and finish work all resulting
K:1Council Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft IAA �r
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 8
in increased construction costs. Last, some costs have been further defined and "re-bid" as the
project has drawn near to its expected start. Not included in these cost adjustments are those costs
that Copeland has assumed such as the design correction for ramping and for archeological
mitigation work.
However, due to the passage of time since the initial fixed cost was established, many of the
construction items must be rebid. Exhibits H and H-1 of the Real Property Agreement set forth the
current fixed price and how it would be adjusted through a rebidding process. Specifically,
Rebidding Adjustments, up or down, to the current $7,815,597 Parking Construction Contract will
result in the final Fixed Amount that is inserted into the Payment Agreement at the Close of Escrow.
The rebiddable items in the Parking Construction Contract are identified on Exhibit H-1 to the Real
Property Agreement, and make up most of that contract.
The Payment Agreement acknowledges that there could be further changes to this Fixed Amount as
a result of City Change Orders (as narrowly defined in the Payment Agreement). However, in an
attempt to give the City certainty of the ultimate costs,the final Fixed Amount will be known prior
to the Close of Escrow. The City and Copelands will endeavor to minimize cost increases, and the
re-bidding process will require three bids, with the lowest responsible bidder being awarded the
subcontract. A subcontract can be rebid again,if the City is not satisfied with the initial responses.
Assemblage of Properdes and Easements
Upon many occasions, the Copelands Project has been likened to a redevelopment project. The
City of San Luis Obispo does not have a redevelopment agency and therefore lacks an
institutionalized funding mechanism for major redevelopment projects and lacks an institutionalized
legal practice of condemning properties so that larger parcels can be assembled to facilitate
redevelopment. Thus, the negotiation of a transaction in the form of a partnership like this was
necessary to create the kind of development desired for our downtown.
Upon Closing, as defined in the Real Property Agreement, both the City and the Copelands will
acquire property and easements that will result in the creation of the parcel where the parking/office
structure and paseo will be constructed. A Parcel Map will be recorded at the Close of Escrow that
defines this"new"property.
The Library Parcel
The City will acquire, through quitclaim deed, a portion of fee property held as tenants in common
between the City and the County, adjacent to the Library. The impact of the transaction on the
Library has been mitigated by providing dedicated onsite parking for the Bookmobile and two other
Library vehicles and three parking passes to the Parking Structure (in the lowest level which is
limited to the tenants of the Office Space). The new Public Parking Structure will also be fully
accessible and immediately adjacent to the Library with a Library paseo area that has been designed
to encourage pedestrian and public use.
The Vntage/Tartaglia Easements
After months of negotiations, the Copelands were able to acquire the necessary fee tide and
K:\Council Agenda ReportsTinal legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc g
1 �1
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project.Legal Documents
Page 9
easements to properties owned by entities referred to collectively as Vintage/Tartaglia. As
condemnation was not available, the ultimate price per square foot for the property acquisitions was
higher than originally anticipated. The acquisition of these properties was necessary for two
purposes, one to accommodate the already designed Structure's building footprint, and two, to
enable the Bookmobile to park adjacent to the Library and exit on Morro Street.
Court Street Abandonment
Part of the transfer of title to the Court Street Parking Lot properties involves the abandonment of
"Court Street". Council conditionally approved this abandonment on September 3, 2002 (the main
condition was that the abandonment not occur until the Court Street Property was conveyed to
Copelands). When Court Street is abandoned, a fifteen-foot wide swath of it will revert to the
Anderson Hotel side property owners and a ten-foot wide swath will revert to the Copelands side.
In the past, it has generally not been the City's practice to seek payments from adjacent property
owners for abandonments.
The apportionment of the street was arrived at to satisfy building and fire codes for the future and
existing structures. Specifically, there are setback, opening and construction standards that will be
satisfied by establishing the property lines in this fashion. The additional 10-foot swath was not
included in the cost calculations for the sale of Court Street. Staff recommends that, as a
concession, we not sell this part of Court Street to Copeland, but rather follow the customary
practice of simply abandoning it. Compromise is an essential part of any complex negotiation. The
City and Copeland each have had to compromise on several issues. This concession is a part of the
entire negotiation. Copeland has also made several concessions in this process, including the
absorption of significant costs for the design and engineering of the Palm Street Parking Structure,
which total hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Potential Risks and Rewards
Our downtown is considered the community's "heart and soul," and the City has been engaged in
this complex effort only to achieve a unique redevelopment opportunity for the downtown - an
opportunity that can bolster its' economic strength for many years to come. The agreements also
sets the stage for potentially substantial downtown housing development and the historic restoration
in the Chinese Historic District.
However, any undertaking that holds the possibility of great rewards will also contain elements of
risk. Because what is central to this particular staff report are legal relationships and issues, staff
will begin with the description of the risks and how they are managed in the proposed agreements.
A more detailed discussion of the potential project rewards will follow.
Risks and How They are Addressed in the Agreements
1. There is no cap on the rebiddable items in the construction contract. The City will be
taking a calculated risk in that the rebid cost of items in the construction contract could be
significantly increased and the City must pay those increases without any cap set on them.
However, staff has endeavored to minimize that risk as much as possible by building into the
K:\Council Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc ^
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 10
Real Property Agreement a clearly defined process that allows the Public Works Director to
participate in the rebidding and to require additional bids if he is not satisfied with those
originally received. Additionally, the City's Economic Advisor Allan Kotin believes that
because the timeframe for rebidding is short and in the very near future, economic conditions
indicate that the rebid items could actually be less expensive than the original bids from last year.
At the most, he puts our risk of potential increase at 10-12%.
2. The Project Never Begins. There is the potential, if the economic recovery is slower than
expected or if international events take a turn for the worse that the Project might not start. Because
external factors such as these, over which neither the City nor the Copelands have control, which
could preclude the Project from beginning, we will not exchange properties until the Copelands
have provided notice that they are ready willing and able to begin and complete the Project. Our
Economic Advisor will complete any confidential financial reviews that are a part of these
assurances. Additionally the legal documents contain various requirements that must be satisfied
prior to closing escrow.
3. The City Needs to Seek Recourse Against One Of The Limited Liability Companies (LLC's).
The City is entering into agreements with two different entities,Palm Street Parking Structure,LLC
and San Luis Obispo Court Street LLC, collectively referred to as Copelands throughout this staff
report. The formation and use of limited liability companies for complex real estate development
transactions is a common industry practice. Though a common practice, it does not change the fact
that there can be little "standing" behind an LLC. The City has protected itself from the risks
associated with contracting with an LLC by requiring various assurances in these legal documents.
For instance, the performance and labor and materials bonds associated with the completion of the
Palm Street Structure, give the City the assurance that its construction will occur. The City can
enforce that completion through the bonds even if there is no financial standing behind the LLC.
Additionally, prior to the transfer of properties, our Economic Advisor will verify that the LLC's
have sufficient assets to complete their obligations.
4. Copeland Does Not Complete Court Street There is the possibility, under limited and
unfortunate scenarios,that the Court Street Portion of the project might not be completed. There are
limitations and restrictions on the use of the Property in the Agreement to protect the City against
this possibility. The strongest of these is a reversionary interest in the property back to the City
should construction not be completed.
S. Copeland Does Not Complete the Parking-Office Structure. There is the possibility, under
limited and unfortunate scenarios, that the Parking-Office Structure might not be completed: The
City has protected itself against this by requiring both a performance and labor and materials bond
in the Payment Agreement.
6. The Construction of the Parking-Office Structure is of Poor Quality. On April 16, 2002,
Council authorized a Construction Management Contract with Harris and Associates to provide us
with quality control review on the Parking-Office Structure construction. The Payment Agreement
establishes mechanisms for progress reports and reviews by the City and our representatives so that
we can assure the construction is to our standards and make corrections if necessary during
K:\Council Agenda ReporrsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc ^ ( V
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 11
construction so that the structure is acceptable upon completion.
7. Change Orders Result in Run Away Costs. We have limited the City's financial responsibility
for change orders in several ways. If the City directs a change order to occur,the costs associated it
will be ours. If a change order is required to correct design errors or omissions, Copeland will
assume its costs. Additionally,per the Payment Agreement, each change order will be submitted to
the Public Works Director for review. Prior approval will be required for all City-initiated change
orders and any developer-initiated change orders that either materially alter the quality or character
of the structure or that involve increased costs greater than $50,000. However, even though
Copeland has completed soils investigations of the Palm Street property, and therefore it is unlikely,
unexpected soils conditions separate and apart from hazardous or archeological materials (for
instance more bedrock than expected) could arise, thereby requiring re-design of the structure. The
costs associated with change orders as a result of soils conditions would be borne by the City.
8, Completion of Construction of Two Projects and Potential Parking Problems. Because of the
construction schedule,there is the possibility that the Court Street Project will be completed prior to
the Parking/Office Structure's completion. The Agreement does not allow us to withhold
occupancy of Court Street should this happen and this could create a parking problem from the new
demand generated by the retail center. As the Project Timeline discussed above shows,construction
of the Court Street Project will likely begin slightly ahead of the Parking/Office Structure and the
time to complete the Parking/Office Structure will take a few months longer. However, the
"completion" of the Retail Center really means it is ready to tum over to tenants for their
improvements. Those improvements typically take the average tenant at least four months to
complete. The Parking portion of the Parking/Office structure will therefore likely be available at or
around the same time the Court Street Project's first tenants are open (not all of the tenants will
open at the same time). Additionally, the Parking Management Plan required by the Real Property
Agreement will remain in effect until completion of both structures.
Some Potential Rewards
The Potential Rewards of this Project have changed little since originally presented to Council.
1. Idling and Able Developer. We continue to have a "Willing and Able Developer" who is
committed to this Project. This is unlike many other municipalities who have seen various
development projects disappear in our current economic climate. By engaging in this
"public/private"partnership, the City is able to accomplish redevelopment without a redevelopment
agency and the funding mechanism that it would bring.
Z.Achieving Policy Objectives. The Project helps the City achieve various policy objectives, as it is
consistent with many of our growth policies: a compact, mixed-use, infill development that makes
efficient use of existing land resources.
3. New Retail and Entertainment Opportunities. The Project provides us with new retail,
restaurant and social opportunities in Downtown, leading to the continued health and vitality of
Downtown. As noted in 1999 Kotin Report, and in his recent economic analysis of Downtown,
K:\Council Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft I.doc ��
i
i
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 12
additional, larger, retail spaces that chains, franchises and local independents can locate in are
needed. The City's Economic Development Program receives calls weekly from individuals
seeking retail space in Downtown. This Project would help to satisfy this demand as well providing
an opportunity for larger sized stores to locate in Downtown. Finally, this added space is expected
to lead to increased social and cultural experiences in Downtown that our residents and policies
have identified as being important to Downtown's existing and future character.
4.Additional Office Space for Public and Private Uses. The Project also provides additional office
space for both public and private uses resulting in many benefits to the Downtown and the users of
the office space. The interrelationship of office and retail uses in the Downtown helps to maintain it
as the commercial core of the County.
S. Improved Accessibility of Public Parking in the Palm Street Area. The Proposed Palm/Morro
Office Structure is on a steeply sloped site that prevents physical barrier to many residents. To
provide convenient access to all users of the Structure, whether they have business up or down the
Morro Street "hill', the Structure contains two elevators thereby providing access to both Palm
Street and the Library as well as to the downtown shopping area.
6. Improvement of Downtown Properties. The Project has already begun to serve as a catalyst for
further improvements and enhancements to the Downtown. The owners of the Loobliner Building
at Monterey and Court Streets have an application for its seismic retrofit and remodel to enhance its
character and bring back its historic appearance. Other property owners in the Downtown have
indicated interest in improving their properties as well. This is a subtle effect but is the benefit of
revitalization efforts; the whole "neighborhood" improves itself from simple fresh coats of paint to
more dramatic remodeling efforts.
7. Increased Opportunity for Residential Construction in the Chinatown Historic.District If,the
Chinatown Historic District Option is exercised, there is the opportunity for the addition of
significant residential units. It is the Copelands intent to create a retail and residential development
in the Chinatown Historic District if they exercise their option, thereby providing infill, residential
housing.
Findings Resolution
City Charter section 901 and Public Contracts Code section 20161(a) provide that every project
involving an expenditure of City monies in excess of$5,000 for the construction of public buildings
shall be let to (by contract)the lowest responsible bidder. Competitive bidding statutes are intended
to prevent fraud, corruption and carelessness on the part of public officials, and to enhance
competition. However, there is an exception when competitive bidding would be impractical,
unavailing and would not produce any financial advantage. The concurrent and intertwined
relationship between the construction schedule and the actual construction of both structures for the
Project(as reflected in the negotiated Exchange Agreement and the Payment Agreement)as well as
the uniqueness of the Project as a whole, makes competitive bidding for the construction of the
Parking/Office Structure impractical, unavailing and of no financial savings or advantage to the
City. A Resolution with specific factual findings supporting this finding is attached for the
KXouncil Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-18-03 Draft Ldoc 1� 1
l
Council Agenda Report—Approval of Copeland Project Legal Documents
Page 13
Council's adoption.
Next Steps
Once the legal documents are approved, the mayor will execute the agreements upon receipt of
payment for the City's third party consultant costs(required per the MOU). The City will then wait
to receive notice from Copeland of readiness in the form of the Lease Condition Certificate defined
in the Real Property Agreement. Receipt of the Lease Condition Certificate really starts the Project
rolling, and within three months of receipt of the Certificate, the public will be notified of the
impending closure of the Court Street Parking Lot and the start of construction there and on Palm
and Morro Streets. Additionally the rebidding process will occur and final documents will be
signed. A Parking Management Plan will be in place, preparatory work on the sites will occur, and
escrow will close and the real properties will exchange.
The Council will note that many technical and legal exhibits (like the Revised Preliminary Title
Report, Parcel Map, and Grant Deeds with reversionary language) are not included with these legal
documents. These documents are not yet available in final form; as they are prepared, they will be
reviewed by appropriate City staff and approved by the City Attorney. All will be complete at the
time of Closing. Also, a separate, Tenant Improvement Contract, will be presented to Council for
consideration for the tenant improvements of the office space in the Palm-Morro Structure, when it
has been bid and when it is time for those improvements to be undertaken and completed.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the amended MOU, Council adopted the budget for this project as part of the 2002-03
Financial Plan Supplement. However, as discussed above, there have been material changes to the
funding concept in the agreements. The current adopted budget for the Parking/Office building is
$13.1 million: $8,481,400 from the Parking Fund and $4,615,800 from the General Fund.
Consistent with the City's Debt Management Policy, the project will be largely debt-financed for
the General and Parking Fund portions. Further adjustments to the CIP will be brought back to
Council upon completion of the rebidding process at the Close of Escrow and finalization of the
Payment Agreement.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff is not presenting an alternative to the project with this report. This is because the project
has been considered on several occasions over a long period of time and now has all of its formal
City Council approvals and discretionary permits.
With regard to the legal agreements,while Council can ask for alternative language or
provisions, the contract language as presented in the three agreements has been very heavily
negotiated and is consistent with prior Council direction. Therefore, any significant changes
would require more time and negotiation. This is not recommended because we believe that the
proposed agreements compose a compromise that fairly meets each parties' major needs, and
manage each parties risks, in the fairest and most reasonable way possible, given our respective
K:\Council Agenda ReportsTinal Legal Docs 02-I8-03 Draft I.doc a r l

interests. Further negotiation is not likely to improve upon this result. Thus, the most practical
alternative to the recommended contracts would be to conclude negotiations and not complete
the transaction.

2. Grant of Easements Related to Palm Street Project Properiy. For good and
valuable consideration,the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, on the Closing Date:
(a.) The Copelands shall prepare and execute a Parcel Map for the lands
assembled for the Palm Street Project Property as one lot (the"Parcel Map"), in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit E. and shall cause the Parcel Map to be recorded at the Closing.
The City shall execute the Parcel Map.
(b.) The Parcel Map shall describe a grant of easement for a public right-of-

ATTACHMENT 1
ingress, egress and vehicle turnaround between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. over the Palm Street Project
Property from Palm Street to property currently owned by Vintage or Tartaglia.
3. Satisfaction of Certain Matters.
(a.) The City acknowledges that, as of the Agreement Date, the preliminary
title reports, evidencing the current condition of title to each property of the Court Street Project
Property(the "Court Street PTR") and the Palm Street Project Property(the "Palm Street PTR'),
including any matters, which might be shown by a survey, are attached hereto as Exhibit G-1 and
Exhibit G-2,respectively. The City hereby approves the Court Street PTR and Palm Street PTR.
(b.) The Copelands hereby approve the Court Street PTR and Palm Street PTR
as of the Agreement.Date.
(c.) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Court Street Project Property
is to be used by the Copelands solely for the purpose of constructing and operating thereon a
retail and commercial development (the "Retail Complex') in accordance with the Retail Plans.
"Retail Plans" are those plans submitted by the Copelands to the City's Building and Safely
Department in application number 020653, filed June 20, 2002. The Retail Complex
construction project and the Parking/Office Structure construction project are separate and
distinct projects, which are not locatedadjacent to each other and which will be separately
organized and contracted, and privately financed; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing; construction of the Retail Complex shall not commence unless the Copelands are not
in default under the Payment Agreement. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the
City will have little or no oversight, direction or supervision of the Retail Complex construction,
except to enforce the regulatory authority of the City in its general capacity to oversee all
construction and development projects within the City and to the extent required to enforce its
rights under this Agreement; provided that, until the Retail Complex is substantially complete,
nothing-contained herein shall permit the Copelands to construct anything on the Court Street
Project Property other than the Retail Complex. Except to the limited extent relating to the
ownership and use of the Court Street Project Property and the limitations set forth in the Court
Street Deed (as defined below), this Agreement is not intended to establish an interrelationship
between the construction of the Parking/Office Structure and the Retail Complex. Exchange of
the Court Street Project Property and the Palm Street Project Property and the Copelands'
construction of the Retail Complex is a municipal affair and not a matter of statewide concern
and therefore, the parties believe that California Labor Code § 1720 does not apply, provided
that such recitation in this sentence shall not obligate the City for any costs or expenses of the
Copelands if the provisions for prevailing wages are applicable. The parties acknowledge and
agree the Retail Complex is limited in its geographical scope to one (1) city block and the parties
thereby do not reasonably anticipate the Project will have any direct or indirect extraterritorial
effects.
4. Covenants of the City. Following the Certification Date (as defined below), the
City covenants and agrees:
(a.) Remediation of Court Street Project Property. Not later than three (3)
months after notice from the Copelands in the Lease Condition Certificate (as defined below) of

(e.g., unusual rain, that is, more rain or rainy days than commonly expected in view of weather
records and forecasts); discovery during construction of unknown environmental, archaeological
or geologic conditions; or events caused by independent third parties who have not contracted
with the obligated party(e.g., government restrictions or vandalism that delay work or the supply
of materials). The time for completion of construction may be so delayed only for the amount of
time such delay causes a delay in the completion date resulting from the delaying event. No
delay will be allowed, for instance, .for lack of funds, for failure to properly prepare for
completion, for failure of the Developer, the Construction Contractor or a subcontractor or
material supplier to perform or for a risk that due diligence could have anticipated. An extension
will be allowed only for delays in the work of construction, and not delays for other reasons,
such as inability to obtain financing, the failure of any person to perform Work required of that
person, the failure to have complete working or field drawings or the failure to timely order
Work, materials, supplies, trade performance or tools. Whenever performance of the Work is
required of a party hereunder, that party shall use all due diligence and take all necessary
measures in good faith to perform, but if completion of performance is delayed by reasons of
floods, earthquakes or other acts of God, war, civil commotion, riots, strikes, picketing, or other
labor disputes, damage to work in progress by casualty, material shortages, or by other cause
beyond the reasonable control of the party (financial inability excepted), then the specified time
for performance shall be extended by the amount of the claimed delay actually so caused.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Limited Liability of City Personnel. No member of the City Council, or
City staff member, employee or agent shall incur any liability hereunder to the Developer or any
other party in their individual capacities by reason of their actions hereunder or execution hereof.

RESOLUTION NO. (2003 Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FINDING

CONSTRUCTED BY THE COPELANDS AND SOLD TO THE CITY IS IMPRACTICAL,
UNAVAILING AND WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY ADVANTAGE
WHEREAS, the City and Court Street Partners, LLC and Palm Street Parking Structure,
LLC (hereinafter collectively the "Copelands") desire to enter into agreements (the "Real Property
Exchange Agreement" and the "Payment Agreement") to allow the development of a mixed-use
retail, restaurant and office structure on the Court Street Parking Lot property owned by the City
(hereinafter"Retail Project') and the development of a mixed-use parking and office structure on the
property at the corner of Palm and Morro Street owned by the Copelands (hereinafter "Parking
Structure Project"); and
WHEREAS, the City does not now own, and would not own, the land upon which the
Parking Structure Project is to be built unless both projects were concurrent; and
WHEREAS, Copelands is the developer responsible for the construction of both projects
described in the Real Property Exchange Agreement and is the same developer who is working with
the same construction contractor that will be able to construct both projects at costs less than
contracts bid separately for them would cost;and
WHEREAS, the City is not contracting directly with the building contractor who is to
actually perform the construction work through its contract with the Copelands; and
WHEREAS, the availability of the Parking Structure Project is an essential component of
the development of the Retail Project, neither of which projects would be implemented unless both
were implemented under one coordinated effort that is inseparable; and
WHEREAS, the construction schedule of both projects has to be closely coordinated and a
separate bidding process for the Parking Structure Project contract will not be timely available; and
WHEREAS, the City would not be able to cause the construction of the Parking Structure
Project without the agreement of the Copelands to use its plans and specifications, and the amount of
payment to the Copelands for the completion of the Parking Structure Project includes costs in
addition to the actual cost of construction and includes consideration of the cost of the land as well.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
does hereby incorporate each recital above as a finding of fact and further finds that the Retail
Project and Parking Structure Project described in the Real Property Exchange Agreement are so
intertwined and coordinated that attempting to obtain a separate construction contract through a
process of competitive bidding for the construction of the Parking Structure is impractical,
unavailing and would not result in any financial savings or advantage to the City.
Upon motion of seconded by
and on the following roll call vote:
