The Tract is presently zoned Audie Murphy Ranch Specific Plan No. 209, Planning Area 6 (Medium Density Residential). The Property's land use designation under the General Plan is Audie Murphy Ranch Specific Plan No. 209, Planning Area 6 (Medium Density Residential). Such zoning and General Plan designation allows the construction and sale of individual single-family dwellings, one per recorded lot, with City approval and recordation of a Tract Map as provided under the State of California Subdivision Map Act. Developer has requested approval to construct four (4) model homes and associated facilities within the Model Home Complex for the display of home product types and the sale of homes ("Sales Office") in the Tract. Because the Model Home Complex will contain dwellings that possess atypical features from those of a standard home, such as office accommodations, storefront windows instead of garage door, trap fencing, grass in lieu of a finished driveway, the City agrees to allow construction and operation of such atypical features under this Agreement, for a period not to exceed three (3) years unless, extended in writing as provided herein and subject to the requirements and stipulations set forth in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that all physical public infrastructure improvements required for the safe ingress and egress to the Model Home Complex from existing, improved and accepted public rights - of -way shall be in place to the satisfaction of the City's Engineering Department, regardless of whether such improvements have been finally approved and accepted by the City prior to opening the Model Home Complex to the public. Developer shall ensure the physical safety of customers/clients that may visit the Model Home Complex approved under this Agreement. While phasing of development shall be allowed, each phase must be approved by the City and constructed in such a manner as to ensure the safety of customers/clients, as well as new home owners and all construction shall be in compliance with all state and federal regulations, including without limitation, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Developer agrees to remove, amend, modify or reconstruct, or cause the removal, amendment, modification or reconstruction of the individual dwellings within the Model Home Complex to the level and degree necessary to ensure that such structures are clearly identifiable as a typical home within the surrounding neighborhood of the dwelling units upon full occupancy (less the model homes), but in no case more than sixty (60) days from the close of escrow of the final (production) dwelling sold by Developer within Tract No. 31822-2, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City. At a minimum, Developer shall remove any trap fencing, all signage or other displays, attraction or directional devices used to direct individuals to the Model Home Complex, remove any parking surface utilized as a parking lot for the Model Home Complex, remove, modify, or reconstruct the sales office to a standard garage, infill any access ways within or through block walls or fences to Model Home Complex Agreement for Tract No. TR31822-2 (Hacienda and Majestic) the Model Home Complex, remove any landscaping/associated irrigation, install City required driveway surfaces where needed, and remove all other ancillary items atypical of a single-family residential dwelling. The above -noted removal, amendment, modification or reconstruction of the individual dwellings within the Model Home Complex shall be completed within sixty (60) days from the close of escrow of the final dwelling (less the model homes) within the approved Tract, or by the close of escrow of any dwelling within the Model Home Complex, whichever comes first, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by and between the City and Developer. In no case, however, shall the modifications agreed to under this Agreement remain in place beyond three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise extended by mutual agreement of the Parties in writing. The location of the dwellings subject to this Model Home Complex Agreement is lot specific and the approvals granted herein shall not be transferable between lots. This limitation, however, does not preclude the City and property owner from amending this Agreement, in writing, to establish alternative location(s) for the Model Home Complex, or individual dwellings within a Model Home Complex. A surety, in a form acceptable to the City Manager of the City of Menifee, is herewith provided in a sum as detailed below for the express purpose of the removal/modifications/reconstruction of the Model Home Complex as detailed below, shall be provided prior to and as an integral part of entering into this Agreement.
