DATE: April 21, 1992
SUBJECT: RODEO LEASE AGREEMENT - RAIL STATION SITE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
For over a year the City has been working on a lease agreement between the City and the
Whittaker Corporation for the use of a 10 -acre rail site of which the City would lease 6.57
acres. Between the Whittaker property (Bermite) and the Southern Pacific Railroad property
(platform site) lies a strip of property running through the rail site 20 feet wide totalling I. ,
approximately 60,000 square feet which is owned by the Rodeo Corporation. This piece of
property runs approximately parallel to the railroad tracks. Staff has been working with the
Rodeo Corporation to secure an agreement to use this land (see Attachment I)..
The basic concept of the proposed agreement is that the City would sublease parking spaces
at the rail station to the Rodeo Corporation in exchange for the use of the 20 foot strip. The
Rodeo Corporatiorrwould like to use the parking spaces for its weekend events for the
Saugus Speedway and the Saugus Swap Meet. .
At this time staff sees no conflict of use due to the fact that commuters will use the parking
site during the weekdays and the Rodeo Corporation use the parking lot on the weekend.
Staff has investigated with the LACTC the potential of running trains up to Santa Clarita on
the weekends and has found that although this is not out of the question it is not being
planned at this time. The LACTC suggests that they would first work on reverse commuter
traffic from Los Angeles to Santa Clarita before weekend use would be implemented.
However, there is a stipulation with Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA)
whereby local governments or agencies could request a special trip which could potentially
be on a weekend. In case of this event, staff and Rodeo Corporation have agreed to a
provision in the lease agreement whereby the City could give the Rodeo Corporation 72
hours notice and designated parking spots would be shared by the City and the Rodeo
Corporation for weekend events.

recommends the initiating condemnation proceedings. Time is of the essence with regard to
securing the use of the 20 -foot wide strip; not acquiring its use in time will delay the
October 1992 start date.

cause a copy thereof to be delivered to each of the parties hereto.
(B) To determine the fair market.value of the Premises,
the appraisers shall make the following determinations: First, for purposes of

\wtriva1elwbitber8.* 12
value of the Premises ("Primary Fair Market Value of the. Premises") in
accordance with the assumptions set forth below; second, the appraisers will
determine the fair market value of the Remainder Parcel (as hereinafter defined)
in accordance with the assumptions set forth below; third, the appraisers shall
determine the amount ("Bonus Value") of present value which has been added to
the Remainder Parcel (as hereinafter defined) over similarly zoned and located
property by reason of the proximity of the Remainder Parcel to the train station

value with respect to the Premises as of the date of their determination, which
date shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days before the commencement of the
Extended Term or later than the date of the commencement of the Extended
Term. This determination shall be based on sales of comparable property in the
area in which the Premises are located. If, in the judgment of the majority of the
appraisers, however, no such comparable sales are available, then the appraisal
shall be based upon any other reasonable method. Regardless of the appraisal
method used, the appraisal shall be based upon the following assumptions:

(II) all improvements installed on the Premises after the date of this
Lease (except to the extent such improvements were installed thereon or therein
at the cost and expense of Lessor), and (III) easements, encumbrances, and other
exceptions provided such easements, encumbrances and other matters did not exist

not caused by Lessor;

determined without regard to the proximity of the rail station or the existence of
any improvements constructed in connection with the rail station; and
(3) The value of the Premises shall be based
upon the value of similarly located property in the City of Santa Clarita zoned for
general commercial uses.
(iii) If a majority of the appraisers are unable to agree on the
Primary Fair Market Value of the Premises or the purchase price for the Premises
within thirty (30) days of the appointment of a third appraiser, the determination
�whivahkwhitbers j& 13
of the three (3) appraisals in dispute shall be added together and their total divided
by three. The resulting quotient shall be the determination of the Prima Fair
Market Value of the Premises or the purchase price (as the case may be .. If,
however, the low appraisal and/or high appraisal is or are more than ten percent
(10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, .the low and/or high
appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the remaining
two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two. The
resulting quotient shall be the determination of Primary Fair Market Value or the
purchase price, as the case may .be. If both the low and the high appraisals are
disregarded, the middle appraisal shall be the fair market value of the Premises.
(d) Payment of Fees. Each of the parties hereto shall pay for the
services of its appointed appraiser and one-half of the fees charged by the
appraiser selected by their appointees and one-half of all costs of the appraisal.

terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 13.
(b) Qption Period. Lessee shall have the right to exercise the
Purchase Option at any time during the period ("Option Period") commencing
with the commencement of the Term and ending ninety (90) days before the
expiration of the Extended Term, subject to the requirement set forth below that
Lessee provide Lessor with a Property Description Notice not later than the end
of the second year of the Extended Term. The option rights contained in this
Paragraph 13 are in lieu of Lessee's powers of eminent domain and condemnation
with respect to the Leasable Premises, or any portion thereof, or with respect to
any portion of the Bermite Property to be used for or in connection with a
commuter rail station. Lessee hereby waives such powers with respect to the

Purchase Option, Lessee shall give written notice ("Property Description Notice")

after the Extension Exercise Date). Lessee shall be entitled to deliver such notice
to Lessor not later than the commencement of the second year of the Extended
XwhiK&ke\whitbers,jdr 14
Term. Such notice shall describe the entire Leasable Premises or any portion
thereof which makes up a single contiguous parcel. If such notice describes less

not so described in the notice and thereby not subject to the Purchase Option
must be itself a marketable, contiguous parcel of land either by itself or in
conjunction with another portion of the Bermite . Property which is itself
contiguous with such remaining parcel and owned by Lessor. Upon receipt of a
notice complying with the foregoing. requirements, Lessor shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause the Purchase Property to comply with any applicable provisions

not then do so) and Lessee shall cooperate with such efforts in all respects.'

requirements of this Paragraph 13.(c)(i) shall cause the Purchase Option to
automatically terminate. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require
Lessor to incur substantial costs, expenses, obligations, or other liabilities to
comply with the California Subdivision Map Act, including, without limitation,
the satisfaction of conditions required for the approval or filing or recordation of
any map.

Option with respect to the Purchase Property by giving written notice of its

Purchase Option within such Option Period, the Purchase Option shall
automatically expire. Upon the exercise of the Purchase Option, .Lessee shall be
bound to purchase, and Lessor shall be bound to sell, the Purchase Property, in
accordance with all of the provisions of this Paragraph 13.. If the Purchase Option
is exercised, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the

made, or if the Consumer Price Index is discontinued, a reasonably reliable and
comparable index or other information, which is furnished by a government or an
independent third party source and which evaluates changes in the costs of living
or purchasing power of the consumer dollar, shall be substituted for the Consumer
Price Index. If the parties are unable to agree upon such substitute index or upon
any adjustment required pursuant to this Paragraph 13.(e)(i)(B)(2), then the matter
\whift*e\whitber8 Jdr 16
shall be submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in

preparation of a Preliminary Environmental Assessment ("PEA") and shall use its
reasonably efforts to cause the PEA to be completed as soon as possible. In

("Lender"), Security Pacific Bank or its successor, Bank of America, must
approve this Lease pursuant to its loan agreements with Lessor. While the Lender
has given Lessor every indication that such approval will be forthcoming, changes
to the Lease required by the Lessee during the days immediately preceding the
execution of this Lease have not been formally reviewed or. approved by the
Lender. Therefore, Lessor is executing this Lease, subject to the final approval
of the Lender, which approval shall be deemed to have occurred within forty -
five (45) days from the date this Lease is fully executed, unless Lessor notifies
Lessee of the Lender's disapproval in writing within such time period. If Lender
disapproves this Lease and Lessor notifies Lessee of such disapproval within the
forty-five (45) day time period, this Lease shall be .cancelled. Prior. to such
approval, Lessee shall take such action with respect to the design, development
\whittake\whitber8 Jdr 35
and construction of the commuter rail station and related facilities and with respect
to the Premises at its sole risk.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease on the day
and year first above written.
