Despite diligent efforts, Developer has been unsuccessful in securing sufficient funding to begin construction on Phase A (consisting of Subphases A-1 and A-2 and now referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2). Developer has submitted for building permits and received extensions for the Term and Residential Allocations for Phase 1 and Phase 2; however, those extensions are nearing expiration. Developer is also requesting corresponding extensions for Phase B (consisting of Subphases B-1 and B-2, now referred to as Phase 3 and Phase 4). Developer has not yet secured building permits or received extensions for the Term and Residential Allocations for Phases 3 and 4, and has not pursued building permits for those phases because it is focused on securing funding for and constructing Phases 1 and 2 before beginning work on Phases 3 and 4; and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to extend the term of the residential allocation as necessary to allow the Developer sufficient time to obtain funding and construct the Project on the Property. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council hereby approves the Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Community Benefit Program Agreement and the Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement between the City of Dublin and The Related Companies of California LLC, attached as Exhibit A and Exhibit B to this Resolution (the “Amendments”).
