A.

Existing Rules and Regulations. Unless otherwise specified in the development agreement, the City's rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the property, density and design, and improvement standards and specifications applicable to development of the property shall be those City rules, regulations and official policies in force on the effective date of the development agreement. The applicant will not be exempt from otherwise applicable City ordinances or regulations pertaining to persons contracting with the City.

B.

Future Rules and Regulations. A development agreement must not prevent the City, in subsequent actions applicable to the property, from applying new rules, regulations and policies that do not conflict with those rules, regulations and policies applicable to the property as set forth in the development agreement. A development agreement will not prevent the City from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent land use permit or authorization for the project on the basis of such existing or new rules, regulations, and policies. Unless otherwise specified in the development agreement, a development agreement will not exempt the applicant from obtaining future discretionary land use approvals.

C.

State and Federal Rules and Regulations. In the event that any regulation or law of the State of California or the United States, enacted or interpreted after a development agreement has been entered into prevents or precludes compliance with one or more provisions of the development agreement, then the development agreement may be modified or suspended in the manner and pursuant to the procedures specified in the development agreement, as may be necessary to comply with such regulation or law.
