Tukwila Village Proposed Development Terms
This report is intended to provide an overview of the proposed terms for a development
agreement between the City and the developer of Tukwila Village.
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2011 the City Council selected Tukwila Village Development Associates, LLC
(TVDA) as the developer for Tukwila Village. Since that time the City and TVDA have been
negotiating a development agreement and TVDA has been performing due diligence and design
work for the proposed development. The City and TVDA have also been negotiating with the
King County Library System (KCLS) in order for a KCLS branch library to be built on the site.
The City, TVDA, and KCLS are nearing completion of negotiating the main terms that would be
included in a development agreement. We are tentatively scheduled to bring a proposed
development agreement to Council in February 2012. The next steps are to finish negotiations
and draft the development agreement. Since those steps will consume significant time and
resources, this is a good opportunity for Council to provide feedback to ensure we are moving in
the right direction.
We have attached a "Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions" which is intended to form
the basis for a development agreement. This summary is not the development agreement.
Although it has some language that may sound like it is an agreement, it is non binding and is
simply to be used as a communication tool so all parties can be clear about intent.
We have also attached a draft schematic site plan for the proposed development. This is a draft
only and the City has made no commitments to approve it. The site plan has not been formally
submitted nor reviewed by the City departments and the City, TVDA, and KCLS are still working
on issues such as the location of the plaza. It is very likely the site plan will change as the
project moves forward.
DISCUSSION
TVDA has proposed a development with, as a minimum, the following uses:
King County Library Branch
Police Resource Center
8,000 square feet
2,000 square feet
17
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Office (medical /dental)
Retail
Indoor Community Commons
Outdoor Community Plaza
Age- Restricted Apartments
Non -age Restricted Apartments
20,000 square feet
7,000 square feet
2,000 square feet
20,000 square feet
300 units
80 units
The general concept for the development agreement is for the City to sell all of the Tukwila
Village property to TVDA who would then develop the entire site with the exception that TVDA
would sell or lease a portion of the site to KCLS. KCLS would then build and operate a branch
library on the site.
The following are brief summaries of the main terms and conditions:
Phasing: TVDA anticipates developing the property in two phases: Phase 1 will be the
property north of South 144 Street; Phase 2 will be the property south of South 144 Street. If
TVDA constructs the site and frontage improvements for the library parcel, that would occur
during Phase 1 although KCLS could construct its building as a later phase.
Library Parcel: The parties intend for the library to be built on land the Northeast corner of the
intersection of Tukwila International Boulevard and South 144 Street, which we refer to as the
"library parcel KCLS has expressed intent to build a building of at least 8,000 square feet with
the capacity for expansion up to 10,000 square feet if they are able to find sufficient funding.
City Approval Process: Under the current approach, all City approvals related to the
development are intended to occur through regular City processes; however, the development
agreement provides some additional protections for the City. These protections are possible
because the City owns the property and has the right to seek them. They are necessary if the
City would like this project to set an example for excellent design and quality for future
development along the Boulevard and to achieve the City's vision for the development.
First, as part of approving the development agreement, the City Council would also approve a
"preliminary site plan which would have a similar amount of detail as the site plan attached to
this staff report. If TVDA later wants to submit a proposed site plan significantly different from
the preliminary version, the new version must be approved by the City Administration or
Council. Without this requirement, the Board of Architecture Review (BAR) would not have the
ability to ensure the best location of the plaza, indoor commons, parking, etc.
Second, the development agreement would give the Board of Architecture Review some
additional responsibilities and criteria to use when approving the site plan and architecture
submitted by TVDA and KCLS. These additional design standards are described in section
thirteen of the attached Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions.
Plaza and Commons Size, Location, and Design: The attached site plan shows the parties'
best prediction at this time for the approximate size and location of the outdoor plaza and indoor
commons. TVDA is comfortable with this plan but both parties are working with the non profit
organization, Project for Public Spaces (www.pps.org), over the next few weeks to see if there is
a configuration that ensures better public access and usage of these amenities while also
maintaining the proposed amount of onsite development. The parties will also agree on a
18 C: Itempl Content.OutlooklTD8KICPZ1Agenda 20111219 Adoc
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
"statement of purpose and design" for the plaza and commons for the BAR to have criteria to
evaluate those elements as it evaluates the entire site plan.
Plaza Ownership and Management: The City and TVDA are still working on the terms for the
ownership and management of the plaza. Both parties intend for a non profit to operate the
plaza and be motivated to attract enough revenue to cover all operations and maintenance
costs. This is a unique "business model" for owning and operating plazas and we are doing
more research to increase our comfort level that this model will be successful. Part of this
equation is the amount of parking available for the plaza and commons and we are still working
on that estimate.
Additional Height: The maximum building height allowed in the zone that includes Tukwila
Village is 65 feet. Given the way the height is calculated and the grade on the site, it is possible
that to achieve a six story building (five floors of wood frame over a ground floor of concrete) the
height needs to be raised an extra five feet. This is important since the amount of development
will significantly affect the price the City receives for the land.
Police Resource Center: All parties support having a Police Neighborhood Resource Center
of 2,000 square feet. We are still working on the terms related to this.
Encouraged Uses: All parties have expressed interest to have certain uses such as a coffee
shop, diner -style restaurant, and medical /dental clinic as commercial tenants. We are still
working on language to provide an incentive to increase the likelihood that these uses will be
included.
Price: The price for the property TVDA develops would be based on a calculation of the
"residual land value The residual land value approach is very similar to what is more
conventionally called the "income approach The RLV approach uses a financial projection of
the development's future net operating income to calculate the value of the project. The cost of
the development is deducted from the value of the project to result in the land value.
Since the library would not generate rental income and has non standard costs of construction
due to its construction requirements, it is simpler and more appropriate to set the price for that
parcel based on a standard appraisal.
Termination Rights: Although the City would not desire to terminate the agreement, we would
have the right to do so if TVDA is not moving forward with the project. As an example, if TVDA
does not submit an application for Design Review within 90 days from when the City executes
and delivers the Development Agreement, the City could terminate the agreement. We need to
work on similar language if something happens and KCLS is unable to move forward with the
project.
Renegotiation Rights: The City would also have the right to renegotiate the agreement if the
residual land value analysis results in an average land value of less than $10,000 per residential
unit. If TVDA rejects the City's proposal then the agreement for that phase would be
terminated. This term protects the City from being locked into selling the property at too low of
a price. Staff currently estimates this would let the City terminate the agreement with TVDA if it
does not result in a land price of at least $4 million.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

Clawback /Reversion: if TVDA purchases the property but does not progress with developing
it, the City would have the right to repurchase the property. Of course, none of the parties
intend to use this provision but this protection is important in case unforeseen events occur that
prevent TVDA completing the project. We need to work on similar language if something
happens and KCLS is unable to move forward with the project.
RECOMMENDATION
This item is for information only. Staff is scheduled to return to Council in February 2012 with a
proposed development agreement and will seek Council approval at that time.

version Tukwila village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
24
The intent is for the City to have the right to approve each phase of development, including the
development of the Library Parcel and the Plaza Parcel, such that each phase can function on
its own even if other subsequent phases are not completed.
The City shall have the right to require and approve easements for utilities, vehicular access,
pedestrian access, shared parking, and shared maintenance for each phase to ensure that the
entire development functions as an integrated whole even if the Development Parcels and
phases are under different ownership.
The Developer or KCLS shall submit a conceptual site plan of the Library Parcel and a
conceptual architectural design of the library at the time the design review application is
submitted for Phase 1. This is to ensure the City has information on how the site plan and the
architectural design of the library will be compatible with Phase 1 of the development. The
Library Parcel site plan shall show the building footprint, building entrances, vehicle and
pedestrian access to city streets and Phase 1. The Developer or KCLS will also provide
information explaining maintenance, utility, and access easements, and conceptual architectural
design to ensure compatibility with Phase 1. If the library will be built in phases (e.g. an 8,000
square foot building with a 2,000 square foot expansion), the conceptual site plan and
architectural design will include a description of the phasing.
(12) City Approvals
The boundaries of the Property to be sold to Developer shall be approved by the City Council
and shall be confirmed by an ALTA survey and a legal description reflected in a title
commitment from a title insurance company selected by the City. All other City approvals shall
be issued in accordance with normal City development approval processes unless otherwise

of Architecture Review shall consider the City's vision statement for Tukwila Village and the
intent of the parties and the terms and conditions contained in the Development Agreement
when approving the Site Plan and building design.
(13) Design Standards
In addition to other existing City design standards, the BAR shall use the following additional
criteria for approving the development:
Buildinq Entrances and Setbacks: In order to activate the street frontage and sidewalks, each
building that is adjacent to Tukwila International Boulevard may be set back no more than 10
feet from the City's right of way, shall include at least one public entrance located along the
Tukwila International Boulevard frontage, and shall not have surface parking located between
the building and the sidewalk. The public entrance requirement may be waived if the public
entrance is sufficiently visible from Tukwila International Boulevard or if the building serves an
active use and provides an exceptionally high quality of building design in terms of
transparency, visibility, and materials. [Note. we are still working on the definition of "adjacent".]
Version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
25
Focal Point Desiqn: The Preliminary Site Plan identifies key focal points in terms of the
relationship of the buildings to the plaza or the neighborhood and the City and, as such, the
prominent building corners at these focal points must have a defined architectural expression
and visual interest such as a rounded or chamfered wall, a tower, transparency, architectural
lighting at night, etc.
Library Parcel Buildinq(s): Any building(s) constructed on the Library Parcel will be highly
visible to pedestrians and vehicular drivers and passengers on the aforementioned City streets
and will be in a location that is key to the sense of connection between the Plaza and the
greater neighborhood. Accordingly, all facades of such building(s) shall be of high quality in
terms of design, transparency, visibility, and materials. The location of any expansion space for
such building(s) shall not be located predominantly along the right of way of either Tukwila
International Boulevard or South 144 Street.
Building Facades Along Eastern Boundary of Phase 1: [Note: We are working on language to
ensure building mass relief for properties along the eastern boundary of Phase 1.]
Minimum Interior Height: Space designed for ground level retail use shall have a minimum
interior height of feet from floor to dropped ceiling or feet from floor to floorplate.
(14) Community Plaza and Commons Ownership and Management
The Developer and the City shall initiate the creation of an independent, community -based non-
profit organization that will own the Plaza Parcel and manage the Plaza and Commons spaces
and facilities with a goal of being financially self- sufficient from the collection of rental and user
fees. The Developer and that City shall agree on the mission, composition of board and officer
positions, and all other formation and formal decision making processes, including initial board
member selection, the articles of incorporation and initial by -laws. The board shall represent the
interests of the community at large and shall protect the interests of the private owners of the
Development Parcels and the Library Parcel. The non profit organization shall have the
responsibility for setting usage policies, rental rates, user fees and security deposits, managing
the scheduling of use of the Plaza and Commons spaces and facilities, paying any property
taxes, insurance and utilities, maintaining the grounds and facilities, and repairing all damage
caused by authorized or unauthorized users of the grounds and facilities. The non profit
organization shall retain and apply all rental revenues, user fees and forfeited security deposits
to pay all of its staffing, property taxes, insurance and utilities, maintenance and repairs and
other expenses. The Developer shall maintain the adjacent landscaping and infrastructure not
located on the Plaza Parcel, and shall be responsible for both structural repairs and repairs
attributable to ordinary wear and tear.to the Commons if the Commons is not located on the
Plaza Parcel. The non profit organization shall have the right to manage the Plaza and
Commons spaces and facilities; provided, however, that the articles of incorporation of the non-
profit organization shall provide that, in the event of the termination and liquidation of the non-
profit organization, the net assets of the non profit organization (including but not limited to the
Plaza Parcel) shall be transferred to another non profit organization approved by the City and
the Developer. In the event the City and Developer are unable to agree on another non profit,
ownership of the Plaza Parcel will be transferred to the City. The Developer shall make a one-
time start -up donation of not less than $25,000 to the non profit organization at the time of the
closing of the purchase of the Development Parcel(s) involved in the first phase of the
development of Tukwila Village. Neither the Developer nor the City shall have any responsibility
Version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
26
to pay the non profit organization's ongoing operating expenses. [Note: We are still working on
these terms and need to get a better estimate of the non profit's ability to earn sufficient revenue
to cover the costs, plus what share the adjacent property owners or tenants should contribute to
ongoing expenses of the Plaza.]
(15) Entitlements and Vesting
The intent is for the Property to be developed under entitlements and vesting in effect at time
the building permit application is deemed complete; provided, however, the Developer shall not
be subject to any impact fees or like assessments adopted after the determination of the
applicable purchase price of any corresponding Development Parcel(s). See the Price and
Payments section below for more detail on the valuation of the Development Parcels.
(16) Development Impact Fees
Developer shall pay all applicable traffic, fire, and parks impact fees. These costs shall be
included in the residual land value analysis. If the City is required under State law to return said
impact fees to developer such as if the City does not complete the projects identified in the
impact fee plan, the Developer will return those fees to the City.
(17) Additional Height
The Developer has indicated an intent to request City approval to increase the existing
maximum building height limitation from 65 feet to 70 feet to accommodate the newly adopted
building code amendment allowing up to five (5) floors of Type V (wood- frame) construction.
The City Administration supports the request and agrees to process the necessary zoning
amendment application as quickly as possible.
(18) Environmental and Other Due Diligence
The Developer shall conduct and pay for its own due diligence, including (but not limited to) (i)
environmental testing and assessments, (ii) geotechnical testing and exploration, and (iii) the
performance of inspections and a survey of the Property and the review of the condition of and
exceptions to title to the Property. The Developer acknowledges that the City has granted the
Developer a right of entry to the Property to perform inspections and conduct testing and other
due diligence. The City acknowledges that the Developer has conducted substantial due
diligence to date at substantial expense to the Developer. The City agrees to respond to any
customary or routine written or oral inquiries or questionnaires regarding environmental or other
conditions of the Property. The Developer shall provide the City copies of any environmental
testing and assessments, any geotechnical testing and exploration, and any survey, as each
step is completed. If, during such due diligence, environmental or geotechnical hazards become
evident that were not previously identified, the Developer and the City may renegotiate the
terms and conditions or terminate their agreement. At the Developer's request, the City shall
agree to allow the Developer to perform any necessary and appropriate environmental
remediation or abatement to the Property before the closing escrow on the purchase of such
portion of the Property, provided that the City approves the remediation or abatement plan. The
Version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
27
costs associated with any necessary and appropriate environmental remediation or abatement
to the Property, whether performed before or after the closing escrow on the purchase of such
portion of the Property, shall be taken into account in the determination of the applicable
purchase price of any corresponding Development Parcel(s). See the Price and Payments
section below for more detail on the valuation of the Development Parcels.
(19) Vacation of 41 Avenue South and Access Easements
The City shall vacate that portion of 41 Avenue South north of South 144 Street that lies
within the boundaries of the Property that will be sold to the Developer. The Developer shall
grant an appropriate access easement satisfactory to the City for the benefit of the adjacent
Normandy Court property for access to and from its parking lot and for the benefit of the
adjacent Samara property for access for Fire Department vehicles.
(20) South 144 Street Improvements
The Developer is not exempt from standard City requirements to construct public infrastructure
frontage improvements along the City right of way abutting the Property. Those costs shall be
included in the residual land value analysis.
The City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes a project to rebuild South 144 Street
between Tukwila International Boulevard and 42 Avenue South. This project is currently
unfunded, but the City agrees to start a study to evaluate the project and design the
improvements. The City agrees to make this a high priority project and to actively seek outside
funding to design and construct the improvements. If the City is successful in receiving funding
to construct the City's South 144 Street CIP project, such that the Developer does not have to
construct frontage improvements, the Developer's frontage improvement costs will not be
included in the residual land value analysis.
The Developer has indicated its intent to request City approval to allow for some limited parallel
street parking on both sides of South 144 Street adjacent to the Property, subject to the
recommendation of the Developer's traffic consultant. If the City's Traffic Engineer supports this
request, the City Administration will support the request and agrees to process the request and
evaluate the recommendation of the Developer's traffic consultant as quickly as possible.
(21) Tukwila International Boulevard Improvements
[Note: We are working on language in case the Developer would like to set aside some land
along the Boulevard for future on street parking.]
(22) Quality of Construction Materials
The Developer agrees to utilize high quality construction materials consistent with mixed -use
development and market rate residential rental apartment properties, notwithstanding that a
portion of the rental apartments included in the development are intended to be restricted and
affordable to low- to moderate income individuals and households. Examples of the quality of
version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
28
such construction materials include the Developer's Arrowhead Gardens development in West
Seattle and Victoria Park development in Lake City. Materials such as synthetic stucco, plastic
storefront window systems, cinder block, aluminum /plastic /vinyl siding, or faux cladding shall not

(24) Naming Rights
Upon close of escrow, the Developer has the right to name the Development.
(25) Price and Payments
With respect to the Library Parcel to be sold to KCLS, City shall sell the parcel at an appraised
value. KCLS and the City shall mutually select one appraisal firm, mutually agree on the
appraisal instructions, and share the cost of the appraisal equally. The City may determine
certain uses, such as a fast food restaurant, which the City would not want on this parcel, and
therefore may offer to exclude those from consideration as "highest and best use" for calculating
the appraised value.
With respect to each Development Parcel to be sold to the Developer, the City shall sell each
Development Parcel based on a residual land value analysis based on the development as
proposed at the time immediately preceding the close of escrow (including the impact of any
denial of the requested increase in the applicable building height limitation referenced above).
The Developer shall provide the residual land value analysis including a comprehensive
development and construction budget, sources and uses of funds, and sufficient supporting
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the City including a binding construction contract for
all buildings and improvements to be situated on or adjacent to such Development Parcel,
binding contracts for environmental remediation or abatement, firm commitments for all debt
financing and equity investment, and an explanation of the nature and amount of each material
item in the development and construction budget. Development and construction costs that are
attributable to or that benefit more than one Development Parcel may be allocated among such
Development Parcels, provided that such allocation methodology is disclosed to the City and is
consistently applied to avoid any duplication. The Developer and the City shall mutually agree
on all material factors and calculations reflected in the residual land value analyses.
The Developer shall pay the City a deposit of $100,000 within one (1) month of execution of a
definitive Development Agreement. Such deposit shall be fully refundable during the first two (2)
months after execution of the Development Agreement. Thereafter, the refundable portion of the
deposit shall decrease by 10% for each month after the first two months until it is no longer
refundable. The deposit shall be applicable against the purchase price of the Development
Parcels and shall be allocated among the Development Parcels based on the relative site area
of each Development Parcel to the total site area of all of the Development Parcels.

applicable building (construction) permits.
The Plaza Parcel shall be transferred at no cost to the independent, community -based non-
profit organization referenced above that will own the Plaza Parcel and manage the Plaza and
Commons spaces and facilities. The transfer of the Plaza Parcel shall take place immediately
following the close of escrow on the purchase of the first Development Parcel by the Developer.
The non profit organization shall pay for any transaction costs related to the acquisition of the
Plaza Parcel (e.g., escrow and closing costs) from the one -time donation made by the
Developer.
(26) Development Schedule

intent and is not intended to be strictly binding against the Developer to the extent that such

HealthPoint), to occupy retail or other commercial or office space identified on the Preliminary
Site Plan.]
(28) Escrow
(Note: We will include a section explain the intent for closing escrow for each development
parcel after building permits the city is ready to issue building permits.J
(29) Termination /Renegotiation
This section is intended to allow the City to terminate or renegotiate the Development
Agreement if the Developer is not appropriately pursuing or executing the design, development
and approval process in a reasonable timeframe or if there is an unanticipated or unintended
consequence that occurs. If the Developer does not (i) submit for Design Review within 90 days
of the City's execution and delivery of the Development Agreement, (ii) complete Construction
Documents within 90 days of Design Review Approval, or (iii) submit Permit Applications within
120 days of the above Design Review Approval, or (iv) close escrow and take ownership of the
Property within 60 days of Building Permit Approval, then, unless the Developer can
demonstrate that such delay was beyond its control or was caused by the action or inaction of
the City, then the City may terminate the Development Agreement or propose the renegotiation
of specific terms and conditions of the Development Agreement with respect to any affected
phase or Development Parcel. The Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to any completed or otherwise unaffected phase or Development Parcel. Notice of
such termination and the right to cure shall be given to the Developer. In the case of the
termination of the Development Agreement, if the Developer fails to cure (within days) after
receipt of notice of such termination, then the Development Agreement shall be considered
terminated with respect to any affected phase or Development Parcel. In the case of the
proposed renegotiation of the Development Agreement, if the Developer rejects the changes to
the specific terms and conditions of the Development Agreement proposed by the City, then the
Development Agreement shall be considered terminated with respect to any affected phase or
Development Parcel. Alternatively, the Developer may make a counterproposal to the changes
to the specific terms and conditions of the Development Agreement proposed by the City, but if
11
version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 -2011 v2.doc
31
the City rejects such counterproposal, then the Development Agreement shall be considered
terminated with respect to any affected phase or Development Parcel. [Note: We need to define
"unaffected" to indicate it includes completed phases or parcels only.]
if the Developer is unable to arrange financing for any phase or Development Parcel, then the
City may terminate the Development Agreement with respect to any affected phase or
Development Parcel. The Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with
respect to any completed or otherwise unaffected phase or Development Parcel.
If the residual land value analysis results in an average land value (taking into account any
affected phase or Development Parcel and any previous completed or otherwise unaffected
phase or Development Parcel) of less than $10,000 per residential dwelling unit, then the City
may propose the renegotiation of the purchase price with respect to such affected phase or
Development Parcel. For purposes of applying the foregoing average land value formula, any
retail, commercial or office space shall be converted into an equivalent number of residential
dwelling units based on the average floor area of the actual residential dwelling units in any
affected phase or Development Parcel and any previous completed or otherwise unaffected
phase or Development Parcel. In the case of the proposed renegotiation of the purchase price
with respect to such affected phase or Development Parcel, if the Developer rejects the change
in the purchase price proposed by the City, then the Development Agreement shall be
considered terminated with respect to any affected phase or Development Parcel. Alternatively,
the Developer may make a counterproposal to the change in purchase price proposed by the
City, but if the City rejects such counterproposal, then the Development Agreement shall be
considered terminated with respect to any affected phase or Development Parcel. The
Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any completed or
otherwise unaffected phase or Development Parcel.
[Note: We need a section for site plan, design, and permitting timeframe maximums for the
Library.]
(30) Clawback /Reversion
This section is intended to provide for the termination of the Development Agreement, and for
the re- purchase or reversion of ownership of portions of the Property to the City if the Developer
has taken ownership of the land and is not appropriately pursuing or executing the completion of
the proposed development in a reasonable timeframe. If the Developer does not (i) obtain the
issuance of grading, foundation, building, structural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing permits
within 60 days after permit approval, (ii) begin grading within 60 days of receiving grading
permits, (iii) begin foundation construction by the later of 60 days from the receipt of foundation
permits, 90 days from the receipt of grading permits, or 30 days from the completion of grading,
or (iv) complete construction within 18 months of the receipt of full building (construction)
permits including grading and foundation permits, then the City may terminate the Development
Agreement with respect to any affected phase or Development Parcel and the Developer shall
transfer land ownership with respect to such affected phase or Development Parcel back to the
City at cost, less the applicable non refundable deposit and any applicable transaction costs
and legal fees incurred by the City. Notice of such termination and the right to cure shall be
given to the Developer, any lender of record with a security interest in the Property, and to any
lender or investor disclosed in the firm commitments for all debt financing and equity investment
submitted to the City by the Developer in connection with the residual land value analysis for the
12
Version Tukwila Village Draft Summary of Terms and Conditions 12 -14 2011 v2.doc
32
corresponding Development Parcel(s). The Development Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect with respect to any completed or otherwise unaffected phase or Development Parcel.
[Note: We need a section to give City ownership rights to the Developer's environmental
documents and all design and engineering work.]
[Note: We need a section for site plan, design, and permitting timeframe maximums for the
Library.]
(31) Arbitration
The Developer and the City agree that any dispute arising under the Development Agreement
(other than for the non payment of the deposit, or for the failure to close and non payment of the
purchase price), whether before or after termination, which is not first settled by mutual
agreement of the parties, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the City of Tukwila or
Seattle, Washington. The arbitration shall be administered by and subject to the arbitration rules
of JAMS, which shall appoint a single arbitrator for the purpose of determining all matters
submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be a person who, by virtue of background, training,
or experience, is knowledgeable in matters of the type covered by the Development Agreement
and the selection of such arbitrator shall be subject to the consent of both parties, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Either party may
commence arbitration by serving upon the other party a written demand for arbitration in a
manner consistent with the notice requirements of this Agreement, with a copy of same to be
delivered to the local JAMS office in Tukwila or Seattle, Washington. To the maximum extent
practicable, any arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be concluded within 90 days of the filing
of the dispute with JAMS. No provision of, nor exercise of any rights under, this section shall
limit the rights of either party and the submission of any matter to arbitration shall not suspend
the performance of either party, including (but not limited to) the payment of the deposit or other
amounts due from the Developer under the Development Agreement. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrator shall be entitled
to award compensatory and equitable relief only and may not award punitive damages. Each
party shall pay its own costs and expenses including attorneys' fees, except when the matter
was submitted to arbitration by the substantially non prevailing party and is determined by the
arbitrator to be frivolous in nature, in which case, upon the request of the substantially prevailing
party, the arbitrator shall be entitled to award costs and expenses including reasonable
attorneys' fees with respect to such frivolous matter to the substantially prevailing party.
Judgment upon any award obtained from arbitration may be entered in a court of appropriate
jurisdiction.
