PARK CONDITION <br /> AGREEMENT <br /> THIS AGREEMENT is made this 7th day of May, 1996, between the City of <br /> Pleasanton a Municipal Corporation, ("City") and the Bernal Avenue Associates <br /> ("Owner"). <br /> RECITALS <br /> As major business parks and other commercial/office/industrial projects were <br /> being approved in Pleasanton in the mid-1980's, the City became aware of the need for <br /> park and recreation facilities to meet the requirements of employees of businesses <br /> locating in these projects; however, information concerning the effects of such <br /> employees, particularly non-resident employees, on local park and recreational facilities <br /> was lacking at that time. <br /> Faced with similar situations concerning the need for, and methods to fund, <br /> facilities for water, fire, and street improvements (primarily in the North Pleasanton area), <br /> the City required studies be done for new commercial/office/industrial projects; these <br /> studies' recommendations were implemented through assessment districts. <br /> Subsequently, the City, by condition of approval, required several major business <br /> parks to fund a study of the reasonable park and recreation facilities' needs of their <br /> employees and the manner of participation in the capital costs for the facilities <br /> determined necessary. <br /> As commercial/office/industrial projects were approved, the City imposed a <br /> condition (hereafter "the Park Condition") on the projects obligating the projects to pay <br /> for the park and recreation facilities' needs of their employees (the "Park Obligation"). <br /> Thereafter, several surveys and studies were conducted to assist in quantifying the <br /> obligation of the Park Condition. <br /> The surveys and studies concluded the maximum Park Obligation would be <br /> $159-$172/employee. <br /> City representatives have met with the various property owners whose properties <br /> have the Park Obligation in an effort to seek consensus on the amount of the Park <br /> Obligation as well as on the funding mechanism. <br /> (PARKBAASAM) 1 <br />
