TIME PERIODS FOR PARTICIPATION
AND PROCEDURES FOR E VAL UA TION OF SUBMITTALS
At any time prior to entering into an agreement with a developer from outside the Project Area for the
assemblage of a particular site, the Agency, through its staff, will notify all then-existing directly affected
owners and tenants ("Affected Owners and Tenants") from within the particular site of the Owner
Participation Rules. Owners and tenants so notified will be given thirty (30) calendar days to respond,
indicating by a "Statement of Interest" whether they are interested in being considered as participants and,
if so, in what capacity (further described in "Procedure for Becoming a Participant"). Any Statement of
Interest must be in writing, in the form of Exhibit "A." The Agency staff shall, within ten (10) calendar
days after receipt of a Statement of Interest, acknowledge receipt of the Statement by a confirming letter
to the prospective participant. Such written acknowledgment shall not obligate the Agency to ultimately
reach agreement with the applicant or to reject other proposals. The Agency shall have no obligation to
seek "Statement of Interest" or evaluate submittals under these Owner Participation Rules from any
Owners or Tenants who acquire any interest in property within the Project Area subsequent to the initial
notice given by the Agency to Affected Owners and Tenants pursuant to this paragraph.
Within thirty(30)days of the deadline for submitting the Statement of Interest(thus, within a total of sixty
(60) days from original notification), any owner or tenant desiring to be considered as a developer must
submit a detailed proposal for the project, which shall include, but is not limited to, such items as a
construction proforma, an operating proforma, a business plan, site elevations and a site plan. An owner or
tenant desiring to participate as a tenant shall describe generally its business, and shall provide such
additional information as may be requested by the Executive Director. The Agency's staff will be available
throughout the above-listed time frame to discuss proposals and to assist informally in the making of
necessary adjustments conducive to the parties involved; provided that the proponent, and not the Agency
staff, shall be responsible for the content of any proposal.
The Agency will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the interested owners, businesses and tenants
desiring to participate in the project. Upon receipt of requests for consideration by owners or tenants from
within the Project Area with respect to owner participation or re-entry of business within the Project Area,
the Agency, through its staff, will review such submittals, as set forth below.
Rules for Owners,Operators of Businesses 5
February 15,2005
Upon receipt of submittals, initial evaluation shall be conducted by the Executive Director of the Agency.
Each party making a submittal is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of its submittals. If
requested by the Executive Director, submittals shall include a construction proforma (if applicable), an
operating proforma, a business plan, site elevations and a site plan. Proposals to participate as tenants shall
include a description of the subject business, a business plan, and such other information as the proponent
may deem appropriate or as may be requested by the Executive Director. These items may also be
requested of a party that expresses an interest to participate solely as a tenant.
In the event the Executive Director notifies a party making a submittal that the submittal is incomplete or
that additional information is required, such party shall be allowed two (2) weeks from date of notification
to complete its submittal. The failure to provide such additional information for the submittal in a timely
manner will terminate consideration of any such submittal.
Upon receipt of one or more submittals, and additional information is applicable, the Executive Director
will evaluate the submittal and make a determination with respect to whether the submittal conforms to
the criteria set forth in"General Procedures." In the event a party having made a submittal disagrees with
conclusions reached by the Executive Director, such party may appeal such decision to the governing
Board of the Agency by making written request therefore within ten(10) days after the Executive Director
transmits notice of the initial evaluation. The review of such submittal(s) by the Agency Board shall be de
novo.
Where the Executive Director deems appropriate, the Executive Director or a staff member will meet with
the applicant and discuss the proposal prior to making a determination concerning the proposal. A
determination shall be made by the Executive Director within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the
proposal, or the time the proposal is required to be received, whichever is earlier; provided that the
foregoing forty-five(45) day period shall be subject to reasonable extension upon the mutual agreement of
the Executive Director and the party making the submittal.
Any decision by the Executive Director resolving a conflict between submittals may be appealed for de
novo review by the governing body of the Agency by the applicant by mailing a written request within ten
(10)days after the Executive Director transmits notice of his or her decision.
If an appeal is filed in accordance with the procedures herein set forth, all times otherwise applicable
pursuant to these rules shall be extended until the Agency decides the appeal, or the appeal is withdrawn
or otherwise finally determined.
PARTICIPATION
BY OWNERS IN THE SAME L OCA TION
In appropriate circumstances where such action would foster the unified development contemplated by the
Redevelopment Plan, an owner may participate in substantially the same location either by retaining all or
portions of his property, or by retaining all or portions of his property and purchasing adjacent property if
needed and available for development in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. An owner who
participates in the same location may be required to rehabilitate or demolish all or part of his existing
buildings or the Agency may acquire only the buildings and remove or demolish such buildings.
Where a proposal to participate in the same location involves a building in good condition, but with an
existing use which does not conform to the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency may allow
such use to continue provided that such use is generally compatible with the permitted uses in the area in
which the building is located, and will not compromise the goals of the Redevelopment Plan. In order to
Rules for Owners,Operators of Businesses 6
February 15,2005
remain in the Project Area with a nonconforming use, the owner must agree to the imposition of such
reasonable restrictions as are necessary to protect the permitted uses in the remainder of the Project Area.
The final decision concerning acquisition of real property by the Agency will be based upon the
conditions existing at the time the Agency purchases property or enters into Participation Agreements.
BY BUSINESSES AND TENANTS
Pursuant to these Owner Participation Rules, businesses and tenants in the Project Area will be given a
reasonable opportunity to remain within, or preferences to re-enter, the Project Area, if they otherwise
meet the requirements prescribed by the Redevelopment Plan and these Owner Participation Rules. In the
case of re-entry, preferences will be given if suitable facilities become available with implementation of
the Redevelopment Plan. The viability of the involvement of a business or tenant in re-entry will depend,
in part, upon the ability of the person to participate on the basis proposed, including such factors as the
ability to pay the requisite rent, the suitability of the proposed tenancy for the development under
consideration, readiness to proceed, and those other factors as generally set forth in"General Procedures."
PROCEDURE FOR BECOMING A PARTICIPANT
SUBMITTAL OFA STATEMENT OF INTEREST
The Agency will, through its staff, work with each owner, business and tenant in the Project Area who
desires to participate. The Agency will notify by certified mail, return receipt requested, the last known
assessee of any particular property that will be affected by a project. Such notification will refer to these
Owner Participation Rules and shall state that the Agency, through its staff, is available to answer
questions or generally to provide advisory assistance. The notification will advise all such persons of the

Interest to Participate as appropriate to each owner,business or tenant response.

an abandonment and relinquishment of any right of the proponent to be considered as a participant
pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and these Owner Participation Rules.
Subject to the provisions of these Owner Participation Rules, the Agency will endeavor in good faith to
accommodate owners, business operators, or tenants desiring to develop or improve property within the
Project Area by expediting the negotiation of Participation Agreements upon request. The foregoing shall

Plan.

Subject: Request for Design for Development Proposals and Important Information
Regarding Your Opportunity to Participate in Redevelopment of Project
Area
No. 1.
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands ("Agency") has received a conceptual
proposal for redevelopment of approximately [ ] acres located at and referred to as
the "Site" within the Agency's Project Area No. 1. This Site is also located in the City of Redlands. The
conceptual proposal calls for the development of a business class hotel ("Proposed Development") which
will serve as upscale lodging for persons visiting the City of Redlands. The overall goal of implementing
the Redevelopment Plan and developing a hotel is to
The Agency believes that the Proposed Development will contribute to the overall goals of the City
of Redlands. The Agency has made no formal commitments to proceed with the Proposed Development at
this time but has, however, elected to (1) solicit proposals from interested parties in accordance with the
Agency's revitalization goals as outlined by its Redevelopment Plan, and (2) concurrently invite owner
participation proposals (described below) from property owners and tenants who may be affected by the
Proposed Development.
You have been identified as either a property owner, property owner representative, business
operator, tenant or lease holder within the Site who may be directly affected in the event that the Proposed
Development were to be constructed. As such, you have an opportunity to participate in the development
of the Site by submitting a design for development or a participation proposal for consideration by the
Agency as permitted under the California Community Redevelopment Law and the Agency's Rules
Governing Participation and Preferences by Property Owners and Business Occupants ("Participation
Rules"),a copy of which is enclosed with this letter.
At the conclusion of this process, the Agency will consider and evaluate all submissions received
in response to this solicitation. At that time,the Agency may take one or more of the following actions:
1. Take no further action as to the current solicitation.
2. Request additional information before taking any action.
3. Refine the Agency's development objectives for the site and solicit additional information from
property owners as to specific ways by which they might wish to directly participate in actual
development of the site.
4. Select one or more proposals as the manner by which the Agency wishes to pursue possible
development of the site.
5. Offer to enter into exclusive negotiations with a developer and/or owner entity for the development
of the site.
6. Extend proposed offers to one or more of the respondents as to participation in Project Area No. 1.
Your participation proposal need not be limited to the location of the Proposed Development and
may propose your own development elsewhere within the Site, or on your property only. As an
alternative, participation could also take the form of an investment in the Proposed Development,
in an appropriate manner, or another method of participation that is consistent with the
Participation Rules. Participation may be by individual persons or by two or more persons, firms
or institutions who participate together by forming a partnership, corporation or other joint venture.
Actual participation depends on many factors. As such, no owner participant has an absolute right
to participate.
