HomeMy WebLinkAbout8.1 Acquisition of Former Railroad Right of Wayor 19 82 /ii � 111 DATE: TO: FROM: STAFF REPORT CITY CLERK CITY COUNCIL File #670 -20 & 930 -30 March 19, 2013 Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Joni Pattillo City Manager""' SUBJECT: Consideration of Acquisition of Former Railroad Right of Way Adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail and Initiation of Associated General Plan Amendment Study and Parks and Open Space Master Plan for the Portions of the Right of Way North of Amador Valley Boulevard Prepared by Paul McCreary, Parks and Community Services Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff is seeking City Council authorization to approve an Agreement to pursue the potential acquisition of two parcels of former Union Pacific right of way for potential use as future parkland and open space (APN Numbers: 941 - 2768- 006 -02 and 941 - 0550 - 023 -04). If the City Council chooses to move forward with the potential acquisition of the parcels, a General Plan Amendment (GPA) Study would need to be completed to consider a land use designation of Parks /Public Recreation and Open Space for the parcel adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail that begins at the City limits to the north and runs south to just beyond Amador Valley Boulevard to the Alamo Canal Trail (APN 941 - 2768- 006 -02). As part of the GPA study, the City would also hold several public meetings to develop a Parks and Open Space Master Plan for the site prior to completing the acquisition process. FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the City Council approves the Agreement to Assign and Assume Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions, and the acquisition is completed, the City would pay $4.65 million to acquire the two parcels. If the City ultimately chooses not to complete the acquisition, it would forfeit a $100,000 deposit. As part of the acquisition process the City would need to retain various consultants to complete the studies necessary to finalize the assignment and acquisition. The total estimated costs for the consultant services and the acquisition of the property would be $4,943,900 and would be funded from the following sources: Public Facilities Fees (Quimby Act Fund) $2,868,675 General Fund Reserves $2,075,225 Total Funding $4,943,900 Amount of Budget Change for Fiscal Year 12 -13 $303,300 RECOMMENDATION: Page 1 of 6 ITEM NO. 8.1 Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions: (1) Adopt the Resolution approving the Agreement to Assign and Assume the Purchase and Sale Agreement held by UP Amador, LLC for two parcels of Union Pacific Right of Way (APN Numbers: 941 - 2768- 006 -02 and 941 - 0550 - 023 -04) and approving the initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study to change the land use designation on APN 941- 2768 -006- 02 Parks /Public Recreation and Open Space; (2) Adopt the Resolution approving the Agreement with SWA Group to prepare a Park and Open Space Master Plan for Parcel 941 - 2768- 006 -02; and (3) Appropriate funds in the amount of $303,300 to fund the project costs anticipated for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 from the Public Facilities Fee Fund in accordance with the attached Budget Change Form. (4) Submitted B Reviewed B Director of Parkzand Assistant City Manager Community Services DESCRIPTION: The Parks and Recreation Master Plan outlines the standards to meet the parks and recreation facilities needs for residents at the build -out of Dublin. The Master Plan was last updated in 2006. Staff is currently updating the Master Plan and has identified the need to acquire additional parkland beyond what was identified in the 2006 update. In the past seven years, the City has adopted several new General Plan Amendments as well as updated the Downtown Specific Plan. These updated plans will increase the estimated build -out population of Dublin beyond what was anticipated in the last Master Plan update. Based on the preliminary population projections, Staff believes that the City will have a communitywide parkland deficit at build -out of approximately 12 acres. This deficit does not include any other residential population increases that may result from the future approval of any open General Plan Amendment studies. Therefore the City needs to acquire additional parkland for future development in Dublin to continue to meet the standard of providing five acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. Mission Valley Properties (MVP) currently has an option to purchase two parcels of abandoned railroad right of way (ROW) from Union Pacific as follows. • Parcel A is located north and south of Amador Valley Boulevard, adjacent to the Iron Horse Regional Trail and extends north to the City of Dublin /City of San Ramon city limits and south to the Alamo Canal Trail. The site is bounded to the east by County -owned land, which is identified as a future transportation corridor and has an easement for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. South San Ramon Creek runs in a northwest/southeast direction along the west side of the Iron Horse Regional Trail. Residential uses are located to the east and west. Parcel A has some constraints such as overhead power lines on the western edge of the property, as well as water and sewer utilities that traverse the site. Page 2 of 6 There are also some wetland areas that may be precluded from park development; however would be a great interpretive feature for a future park. Parcel A currently has no zoning designation. • Parcel B is located south of Dublin Boulevard, adjacent to the Iron Horse Regional Trail and extends north to Dublin Boulevard and south to the Dublin /Pleasanton BART Station near the east end of Scarlett Court. The City's Maintenance Yard is to the west of Parcel B, as are three other parcels owned by Hacienda Auto Body, Security Storage and Arlen Ness. Overhead utility poles run in a northwest- southeast direction to the west of the site within the industrial area. The power lines traverse a portion of the subject property at the southern end. Parcel B is zoned Light Industrial. MVP is considering requesting the initiation of a General Plan Amendment study to examine residential development on Parcel A. In the past there was public discontent with previous proposals for residential development on Parcel A; however there was support from residents for preserving the site for passive parks /recreation and open space uses. The City studied the potential for non - residential uses in 2008, and at the end of the study directed Staff to not move forward at the time as the City would need to purchase the parcels if they were designated park or open space. In 2008, due to the economic recession, the City did not have the funds available to purchase the property. Staff, however, continues to believe that the property would be an excellent site for additional parkland. MVP approached the City about the City's interest in potentially acquiring Parcel A for park and open space purposes and Parcel B for other purposes. Staff, based on direction provided by the City Council, negotiated an Assignment Agreement for City Council consideration with MVP's successor corporation in the Agreement, UP Amador LLC. The Agreement would result in the City stepping into MVP's role as purchaser should the City approve a General Plan Amendment Study to add a land use of Parks /Recreation and Open Space to Parcel A. UP Amador would receive an assignment fee in exchange for assigning its rights to the City. The total amount the City would pay for Parcels A and B is less than the value of the parcels indicated in the appraisal commissioned by the City. Proposed Land Uses and Anticipated Outcomes for Parcel A Staff recommends that the City consider pursuing the acquisition of Parcel A for a combination of passive community park and open space uses north of Amador Valley Boulevard, as well as a neighborhood square on the piece south of Amador Valley. The acquisition and park and open space improvements, if completed, would accomplish the following outcomes: • Ensure adequate parkland to serve infill development. • Meet the City Council's Strategy to create a community that supports environmental sustainability and provides an open space network that ensures environmental protection and provides public access where appropriate, as well as the following strategic goals: o Create open space connections and trails where appropriate • Identify opportunities for development of a unique passive park /recreation facility • Explore and implement strategies that enhance environmental sustainability • Enable City to provide the necessary parkland for the residential component of the Downtown Specific Plan and, in turn, meet the City Council's Strategy to continue to strengthen the identity and aesthetic appeal of the downtown, and facilitate continued investment in Downtown Dublin. Page 3 of 6 • Proactively address the parkland deficit in a cost effective manner. Purchasing 12 +/- acres of residential land elsewhere in the City could cost over $15.0 million based on current land acquisition costs in Dublin. • Improve pedestrian connections between the Iron Horse Trail, the Alamo Creek Trail, Stagecoach Park, Dougherty Hills Open Space, Dublin High School and the various apartments and condominiums along the project site. • Provide neighborhood parkland in close proximity to the new Emerald Vista development. • Provide opportunity to enhance the Iron Horse Trail through Dublin and provide a unique amenity for trail users. Proposed Land Uses and Anticipated Outcomes for Parcel B MVP's arrangement with Union Pacific requires MVP to purchase Parcel A and Parcel B as a package. Therefore, if the City acquires the 12.25 -acre Parcel A for park and open space uses, the City would also by necessity acquire 2.207 -acre Parcel B that is light industrial zoning. Approximately 0.2 acres could be used to expand the City's Maintenance Yard and provide a secondary emergency access point to the site from the BART property. For the remainder of the parcel, Staff would explore options for uses compatible with the light industrial land use, which may be limited due to the site characteristics. The City could also sell the remaining property as conservation or mitigation space, or to the adjacent property owners to expand their businesses. Acquisition Process During the months of January and February 2013, as part of the negotiation of the Agreement to Assign and Assume, the City completed initial due diligence work for the two sites including a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Biological Survey, ALTA Survey and limited soils testing. The results of the studies and surveys revealed that there were no major issues identified with the sites. The Environmental Site Assessment noted that, due to the nature of the products and chemicals used along railways in the past, there could be the possibility for some minor soil contamination which could be mitigated as part of the site grading. There was also reference to a fuel spill that occurred on a small portion the site from the Kinder Morgan Pipeline that is on the adjacent parcel to the east. However the impacts of the spill were successfully remedied by Kinder Morgan and the site has continued to be tested by the State with no negative indications of residual soil contamination. There were some areas identified as potential wetlands as well as some potentially protected plant species on the sites. Staff believes that these possible constraints could be accounted for in the site planning and would even enhance the park and open space plans. The survey noted several utility easements traversing the site, with the power lines running along the western edge of the parcel noted as the primary constraint, which would be undergrounded as part of the Master Plan for improvements. If the City Council approves the Agreement to Assign and Assume, then Staff would complete further evaluation of the proposed use of Parcel A as a park and open space, including extensive public outreach. The evaluation would begin immediately and be completed by September 2013. It would include the following components: • Environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) • A study of a potential change in the General Plan Land Use to Parks /Public Recreation and Open Space • Park and Open Space Master Plan • Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Page 4 of 6 As part of the acquisition process Staff would also discuss potential partnerships with Alameda County Flood Control and East Bay Regional Park District on future development of the site and improvements to the Iron Horse Trail. Park and Open Space Master Plan As part of the evaluation of the project the City would conduct several public meetings to develop a Master Plan for Parcel A showing the ultimate site plan, and the cost and phasing of the improvements. In January 2013, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was circulated to landscape architecture firms in California for the development of the Master Plan. The three firms that submitted proposals (Carducci and Associates, Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abbey, and SWA Group) were interviewed, and SWA Group was recommended by the selection committee for this project. The committee was intrigued the possibilities the SWA saw in the site, and with the wide array of projects SWA has completed that were similar in character to the linear and natural feel of the site being considered by the City. For over five decades, SWA has been recognized as a world leader in landscape architecture, planning and urban design. Their projects, located in more than 60 countries worldwide, have garnered over 600 awards. Acquisition Project Costs and Funding Sources The City Attorney's Office had an appraisal of the parcels completed to determine the current fair market value of the land. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the appraisal and assumptions and has determined it suitable for the purpose of entering into the proposed Agreement to Assign and Assume Purchase and Sale Agreement with UP Amador, LLC. If the City Council is interested in pursuing acquisition of the parcels, Staff would recommend using a combination of Quimby Act Funds, the Open Space General Fund Reserve and the Innovations /New Opportunities General Fund Reserve to fund the land acquisition. Under the financial terms of the Agreement, the City would pay an assignment and acquisition fee of $4.65 million to acquire the two parcels. There would be a $100,000 non - refundable deposit made to the escrow account by March 22, 2013. The deposit would be applied to the assignment and acquisition fee, with the balance due at the close of escrow. Escrow would close within five (5) business days of the date of approval of a City of Dublin General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment, but in any event no later than October 31, 2013. Staff anticipates bringing these studies back for Commission and City Council consideration in August and September in order to meet the October 31, 2013 deadline. As part of the acquisition process the City would need to retain various consultants to complete the studies and plans necessary to finalize the assignment and acquisition. The total estimated costs for the consultant services and to acquire the property would be $4,943,900 and would be funded from the following sources: Public Facilities Fees (Quimby Act Fund): $2,868,675 General Fund Reserves: $2,075,225 Total Funding: $4,943,900 Amount of Budget Change for Fiscal Year 12 -13: $303,300 Future Costs The Master Plan for Parcel A would identify the estimated costs to improve the neighborhood square and passive community park areas. The cost of the improvements would depend on the Page 5 of 6 number of acres that are developed and the level of amenities provided. Those improvements would be funded by future Quimby and Community Parkland Improvement fees collected in the downtown area. To get a sense of magnitude, the following would be the estimated cost of park improvements based on current fees: 2.25 acres neighborhood square south of Amador Valley $1.2 million 8.25 acres of passive community park north of Amador Valley $2.9 million 1.75 acres of open space and wetland restoration $1.0 million Total Estimated Improvement Costs $5.1 million* *In 2013 dollars The future costs for Parcel B are unknown at this time and would depend on the ultimate use of the area adjacent to the Maintenance Yard, and if there was a subdivision of the property. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH: A public meeting notice was sent to any property owners within 500 feet of the two parcels. A copy of the Staff Report was provided to UP Amador, LLC and the Parks and Community Services Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State Guidelines and City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and when applicable, environmental documents are prepared. The current proposed action is not a project under CEQA, because the City's final decision whether or not to acquire the subject property is contingent upon the City Council approving a General Plan Amendment for Parcel A that designates Parcel A as Parks /Public Recreation and /or Open Space and the City will complete environmental review prior to considering approving the amendment. The proposed agreement does not obligate the City Council to approve the General Plan Amendment or acquire the property. Thus, the City has not, as a practical matter, committed itself to the project so as to effectively preclude any alternatives or mitigation measures that might otherwise be incorporated into the project, including the option of not going forward with the acquisition. In addition, there is not sufficient detail about the potential future park and open space project to allow meaningful environmental review under CEQA at this time. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

It is n. the responsibility of Buyer to have the surveyor locate such fiber optic cable.

Any approvals obtained by Buyer shall expressly provide that they shall be null and void and shall not be filed for record unless and until the sale and purchase of the Property shall close pursuant to this Agreement. If Buyer fails to obtain such Governmental Approvals, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller notice of such termination; provided, however, that in such event, the Deposit shall be retained by Seller, and neither party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for the Surviving Obligations). 5.5 Compliance by Seller.

Unless Escrow Holder is handed a W -9 form and specific investment instructions from the Buyer and Seller, all funds delivered to Escrow Holder pursuant to these instructions will be deposited in a non - interest bearing fiduciary account. All disbursements shall be made by Escrow Holder's check unless otherwise instructed in writing. Escrow Holder is authorized not to close escrow or disburse until collected funds have been confirmed in escrow. GOOD FUNDS LAW The parties understand that ALL funds to close escrow and /or to be released early must be deposited into escrow prior to the date of closing/early release to allow sufficient time for clearance of the funds prior to disbursement. In the event such funds are not in the form of a cashier's, certified or teller check drawn on a financial institution, sufficient time must be allowed for clearance to comply with any "good funds" law which is in effect. (For escrows conducted in California, the good funds law is Section 12413.1 of the California Insurance Code.) Funds may be wired directly into Escrow Holder's depository bank account to avoid waiting for clearance. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, the expression "close of escrow" used in this escrow means the date on which documents referred to herein are recorded and relates only to prorations and /or adjustments unless otherwise specified. All prorations and /or adjustments are to be made on the basis of a 30 -day month unless otherwise instructed in writing. RECORDATION OF DOCUMENTS Escrow Holder is authorized to record any documents delivered through this escrow, the recording of which is necessary or proper in the issuance of the requested policy of title insurance. AUTHORIZATION TO FURNISH COPIES Escrow Holder is to furnish a copy of these instructions, amendments thereto, closing statements and /or any other documents deposited in this escrow to the lender(s), the real estate broker(s), the attorney(s) and /or the accountant(s) involved in this transaction upon request of the lenders, brokers, attorneys or accountants. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES No examination, UCC Search or insurance as to personal property and /or the amount or payment of personal property taxes is required unless otherwise instructed in writing. RIGHT OF CANCELLATION Any party instructing Escrow Holder to cancel this escrow shall file notice of cancellation in Escrow Holder's office, in writing. Within a reasonable time, Escrow Holder shall mail, by certified and regular mail, one copy of the notice to each of the other parties at the addresses stated in this escrow. Unless a written objection to cancellation is filed in Escrow Holder's office by a party within ten (10) days after date of mailing, Escrow Holder is authorized at its option to comply with the notice and demand payment of Escrow Holder's cancellation charges as provided in this agreement. If a written objection is filed, Escrow Holder is authorized at Escrow Holder's option to hold all the money and documents contained in this escrow and take no further action until otherwise directed, either by the parties' mutual written instructions, or final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. ACTION IN INTERPLEADER The parties hereto expressly agree that Escrow Holder has the absolute right at Escrow Holder's election to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate their several claims and rights between themselves and Escrow Holder is authorized to deposit all documents and funds held in this escrow with the clerk of the court. In the event such an action is filed, the parties jointly and severally agree to pay Escrow Holder's cancellation charges and costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees which Escrow Holder is required to expend or incur in the interpleader action, the amount thereof to be fixed and judgment therefor to be rendered by the court. Upon the filing of the action, Escrow Holder shall thereupon be fully released and discharged from all obligations to further perform any duties or obligations otherwise imposed by the terms of this escrow, provided such filing is meritorious. TERMINATION OF AGENCY OBLIGATIONS If there is no action taken on this escrow within six (6) months after the "time limit date" as set forth in the escrow instructions or written extension thereof, Escrow Holder's agency obligation shall terminate at Escrow Holder's option and all documents, monies or other items held by Escrow Holder shall be returned to the parties depositing the same. In the event of termination of this escrow, whether at the request of any of the parties or otherwise, all fees and charges due in connection with this escrow including expenditures incurred and /or authorized shall be paid by the parties hereto. CONFLICTING INSTRUCTIONS Should Escrow Holder before or after close of escrow receive or become aware of any conflicting demands or claims with respect to this escrow or the rights of any of the parties hereto, or any money or property deposited herein or affected hereby, Escrow Holder shall have the right to discontinue any or all further acts on Escrow Holder's part until the conflict is resolved to Escrow Holder's satisfaction, and Escrow Holder shall have the further right to comments or defend any action or proceedings for the determination of the conflict as provided in the "Right of Cancellation" and "Action in Interpleader" paragraphs of these General Provisions. USURY Escrow Holder is not to be concerned with any question of usury in any loans or encumbrances involved in the processing of this escrow and Escrow Holder is hereby released of any responsibility or liability therefor. INDEMNITY FOR ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS In the event suit is brought by any party to this escrow, including the Escrow Holder or any other party, against each other, or others, including the Escrow Holder, claiming any right they may have against each other or against the title company, then in that event, with the exception of gross negligence by the title company, the parties hereto agree to indemnify and hold the title company harmless against any attorney's fees and costs incurred by it, unless such suit is based on a claim against the title company and the party is the "prevailing party." AMENDMENT TO ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS Any amendment or supplement to these escrow instructions must be in writing and signed by the parties. These escrow instructions and any written amendments, supplements or exhibits attached hereto constitute the entire escrow agreement between the Escrow Holder and the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, with respect thereto. PROPERTY TAXES SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSE OF ESCROW Buyer and Seller herein acknowledge that there may be supplemental and /or additional taxes which may be assessed by reason of a change in ownership or completion of construction. This will be reflected in the policy of title insurance issued at the close of escrow. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with any adjustment(s) of supplemental taxes between the parties for bills received by the parties after the close of escrow. In the event Seller has received Supplemental Tax Bill(s) prior to close of escrow, Seller will provide them to Escrow Holder with an explanation of time periods covered by the tax bill(s) for proration purposes. (In California the applicable provisions are found in California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 75 and following.) In the event Buyer or Seller have applied, or apply for a reduced assessment, and a refund of taxes is received by Escrow Holder as Agent, Escrow Holder is to retain the funds in one or more of Escrow Holder's general escrow demand accounts until Escrow Holder has received mutual written instructions from the parties directing Escrow Holder as to the proper disposition of the tax refund. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP FORMS Buyer will furnish Escrow Holder with a completed Preliminary Change of Ownership Report which Escrow Holder is instructed to submit at time of recordation pursuant to Section 480.3 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. In the event this escrow is otherwise ready to close and Buyer has not provided the above report, Escrow Holder is instructed to close this escrow and collect from Buyer for the County Recorder any additional fee required for recordation when a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report does not accompany the documents being recorded. Buyer is aware that if the above report is not submitted at time of recordation as required, a Change of Ownership Statement must be filed by the Buyer with the County Assessor not later than 45 days after recordation and failure to do so will result in additional penalties. Buyer acknowledges that Escrow Holder shall have no responsibility and /or liability for the County Recorder's acceptance or rejection of the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report. For escrows involving property in States other than California parties will provide Escrow Holder with applicable documents as may be required by the county recorder or taxing authority to close this transaction. INSURANCE POLCIES OTHER THAN TITLE INSURANCE When dealing with real property and /or improvements located thereon it is advisable to obtain fire, hazard or liability insurance coverage. In all acts in this escrow relating to insurance, including adjustments, if any, Escrow Holder may assume that each 2 policy is in force and that the necessary premium has been paid. Escrow Holder shall not be responsible for obtaining fire, hazard or liability insurance, unless Escrow Holder has received written instruction prior to close of escrow from the parties or their respective lenders. FACSIMILE INSTRUCTIONS In the event the parties utilize "facsimile" transmitted signed documents, Buyer and Seller hereby agree to accept and instruct the Escrow Holder to rely upon such documents as if they bore original signatures. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree to provide to Escrow Holder, within 72 hours of transmission, such documents bearing the original signatures. Buyer and Seller further acknowledge and agree that documents necessary for recording with other than original signatures (i.e., facsimiles) will not be accepted for recording by the County Recorder thereby delaying the close of escrow. EXECUTE IN COUNTERPART These escrow instructions and any subsequent amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which independently shall have the same effect as if it were the original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instruction. IF THE TRANSACTION WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS ESCROW IS A SALE, THE PARTIES TO THIS TRANSACTION MAY HAVE CERTAIN TAX REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW OR FEDERAL LAW REFERRED TO BELOW. REPORTING TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE The Tax Reform Act of 1986 provides that Escrow Holder must report certain information regarding all real estate transactions to the Internal Revenue Service. This information includes, among other things, the Seller's social security number and /or tax identification number and forwarding address, and the gross sales price of the transaction. This is not a requirement generated by Escrow Holder, but rather a means of complying with the new tax law. This information must be provided to Escrow Holder upon the opening of escrow and neither can escrow be closed, nor can a deed or any other documents be recorded until the information is provided and the Seller certifies the accuracy of the information in writing. By execution of these escrow instructions, the parties acknowledge receipt of this notice. TAX REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES CALIFORNIA LAW: In accordance with Section 18662 and 18668 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, a Buyer may be required to withhold an amount equal to three and one -third (3 -1/3) percent of the sales price, in the case of a disposition of California real property interest by either: (1) A Seller who is an individual with a last known street address outside of California or when the disbursement instructions authorize the proceeds to be sent to a financial intermediary of the Seller; OR (2) A corporate Seller which has no permanent place of business in California. For failure to withhold, the Buyer may become subject to a penalty in an amount equal to the greater of 10 percent of the amount required to be withheld or five hundred dollars ($500.00). However, notwithstanding any other provision included in the California statutes referenced herein, no Buyer will be required to withhold any amount or be subject to penalty for failure to withhold if: (a) The sales price of the California real property conveyed does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00); OR (b) The Seller executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, certifying that the Seller is a resident of California, or if a corporation, has a permanent place of business in California, OR (c) The Seller, who is an individual, executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, that the California real property being conveyed is the Seller's principal residence (as defined in Section 1034 of the Internal Revenue Code). The Seller is subject to penalty for knowingly filing a fraudulent certificate for the purpose of avoiding the withholding requirement. The California statutes referenced herein include provisions which authorize the Franchise Tax Board to grant reduced withholding and waivers from withholding on a case -by -case basis. The Seller may request a reduction in withholding or waiver and the Buyer and Seller may obtain additional information by contacting the Franchise Tax Board, Withhold at Source Unit, P.O. Box 651, Sacramento, CA 95812 -0651 (916- 845- 4900). LAW OF STATES OTHER THAN CALIFORNIA If the parties are required to withhold by the law of a state other than California, the parties understand that the withholding obligation is the exclusive obligation of the parties to this transaction and that Escrow Holder is not obligated to withhold or notify the parties of any withholding obligation they may have. FEDERAL LAW Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 places special requirements for tax reporting and withholding on the parties to a real estate transaction where the Seller (Transferor) is a non - resident alien, a non - domestic corporation or partnership, a domestic corporation or partnership controlled by non - residents or non - resident corporations or partnerships. With respect to both the State Law and Federal Law referred to above, the parties to this transaction should seek an attorney's, accountant's, or other tax specialists' opinion concerning the effect of these laws on this transaction. The parties to this transaction should NOT act on or rely on any statements made or omitted by the Escrow Officer, Title Officer, or other closing Officer with respect to tax reporting or withholding requirements. By execution of these escrow instructions, the parties acknowledge receipt of this notice. 3 DISCLOSURE OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS Internal Revenue Code Section 6109(h) imposes requirements for furnishing, disclosing and including taxpayer identification numbers in tax returns on the parties to a residential real estate transaction involving seller- provided financing. The parties understand that the disclosure reporting requirements are exclusive obligations between the parties to this transaction and that Escrow Holder is not obligated to transmit the taxpayer identification numbers to the Internal Revenue Service or to the parties. Escrow Holder is not rendering an opinion concerning the effect of this law on this transaction, and the parties are not acting on any statements made or omitted by the Escrow or Closing Officer. By execution of these escrow instructions, the parties acknowledge receipt of this notice. To facilitate compliance with this law, the parties to this escrow hereby authorize Escrow Holder to release any party's taxpayer identification numbers to any requesting party who is a party to this transaction. The requesting party shall deliver a written request to escrow. The parties hereto waive all rights of confidentiality regarding their respective taxpayer identification numbers and agree to hold Escrow Holder harmless against any fees, costs, or judgments incurred and /or awarded in connection with the release of taxpayer identification numbers. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS If this escrow is not in condition to close by the closing date referred to in the body of these instructions, and demand for cancellation is received by you from any party to this escrow after said date, you will act in accordance with the cancellation instructions contained in these general provisions. If no demand for cancellation is made, you will proceed to close this escrow when the principals have complied with the escrow instructions.
