The Development Agreement by and between the City of San Luis Obispo (the “City”) and MI San

No. 3096 (the “VTTM”), and provisions of the Development Agreement (collectively, the Specific
Plan, the Conditions of Approval, the VTTM, and the Development Agreement may be referred
to collectively as the “Project Approvals”) require a close degree of cooperation between the City
and SLR and refinements and further development of the Project may demonstrate that
clarifications are appropriate with respect to the details of performance. The Development
Agreement further provides that if and when City and SLR agree that such clarifications are
necessary or appropriate, they may implement such clarifications through operating memoranda
approved by the City and SLR.
Capitalized terms used in this Operating Memorandum shall carry the same definitions as those
set forth in the Development Agreement.
A. PURPOSE:

funding of the Prado Overpass improvements, described in Exhibit C to the Development
Agreement as the Prado Road/US 101 Interchange and North Bound Ramps (Exhibit C, Table 3,
Item 4) and Prado Southbound Ramps (Exhibit C, Table 3, Item 5), collectively, the “Prado
Overpass Improvements”). The final cost estimate for the Prado Overpass Improvements, as of
the date of this Agreement, have been established at One Hundred One Million Four Hundred
Eighty-Three Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($101,483,100.00) and SLR’s share of the Prado
Overpass Improvements (the “Prado Road Interchange Mitigation Fee”) is Twenty-Eight Million
Four Hundred Fifteen Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars ($28,415,268.00) which is
equal to 28% of $101,483,100.00.
Section 5.04.6 of the DA provides that SLR shall pay its portion of the Prado Road Interchange
Mitigation Fee prior to the issuance of occupancy permits within the Specific Plan Area that
generate a cumulative total of 233 PM Peak Hour Trips. The Parties acknowledge that the City
has issued occupancy permits that exceed this threshold and that such action does not constitute a
waiver by the City of any related breach or alleged breach of the Development Agreement by SLR,
nor does such action constitute any waiver by the City of remedies for any breach of the
Development Agreement, all of which are expressly acknowledged and reserved to the City.
The parties intend through this Operating Memorandum to confirm the final contribution amount
from SLR for its share of the Prado Road Interchange Mitigation Fee and to document the method
and timing for payment.
The City and SLR previously entered into Operating Memorandum No. 1, Operating
Memorandum No. 2, Administrative Amendment No. 1, and Administrative Amendment No. 2,
