owned by Lance Peto, Trustee of the K. Lance Peto Trust Dated 11/25/96 (Owner).
The Property is located between the Temecula Children's Museum owned by the City
and the historic Mercantile Building that is part of the Old Town Temecula Theater. The
Property is within the historic Old Town Temecula. While the City has no present plans
for the development of the Property, the City's acquisition of the Property for a public
use enables the City to preserve it as part of the historic Mercantile Building and the
historic Old Town.
B. The Owner and the City have negotiated the City's purchase of the
Property in fee and have reached an agreement, subject to approval by the City
Council.
C. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement), the total
purchase price that the City will pay to the Owner for the Property is the sum of One
Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,450,000) for the fair market value of
the Property. The escrow period is 90 calendar days. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
City's purchase of the Property is contingent on an appraisal of the fair market value of
the Property prepared by an appraiser jointly selected by the parties.
D. The Owner has informed the City that the Owner wishes to purchase a
replacement property for a tax-deferred exchange under 26 U.S.C. Section 1031.
Accordingly, the Agreement provides that the Owner may, at the Owner's sole option,
extend the Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, to provide additional
time for the Owner to locate said replacement property. If the Owner exercises the right
to extend the Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, Owner will provide
' written notice to the City and to the Escrow Holder under the Agreement 15 calendar
days before the Close of Escrow. Further, in consideration for the option to extend the
Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, Owner agrees that if the Owner
Resos 17-17 1
determines to extend the Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, the
Purchase Price will be reduced by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to One Million Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000).
Section 2. Approval of Purchase and Sale Agreement. The City Council of
the City of Temecula hereby approves that certain agreement entitled "Purchase and
Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions Between the City of Temecula and
Lance Peto, Trustee of the K. Lance Peto Trust Dated 11/25/96 for Purchase of 42061
Main Street, Temecula (APNS 922-036-039 AND 922-036-040)", with such changes in
the Purchase and Sale Agreement as may be mutually agreed upon by the Owner and
the City Manager as are in substantial conformance with the form of the Purchase and
Sale Agreement on file in the Office of the City Clerk. The Mayor is hereby authorized
to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City. A copy of the final Agreement when
executed by the Mayor shall be placed on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
Section 3. City Manager's Authority. The City Manager (or his designee), is
hereby authorized, on behalf of the City, to take all actions necessary and convenient to
carry out and implement the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and to administer the City's
obligations, responsibilities and duties to be performed under the Purchase and Sale
Agreement, including but not limited to, approval and execution on behalf of the City of
the Grant Deed, Certificate of Acceptance, any rights of entry for due diligence, escrow
instructions, certificates, and other similar agreements and documents as contemplated
by or described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement or as necessary and convenient to
implement the Purchase and Sale Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of the
Property contemplated therein.
Section 4. Environmental Analysis. The approval of the acquisition of the
Property is not a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act because the
acquisition does not involve a commitment to a specific project on the Property that may
result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated
by Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4). The proposed
acquisition is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this
acquisition of public property will have a significant effect on the environment. The
acquisition is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15325 as a Class 25
Categorical Exemption because it involves the transfer of ownership of interests in land
in order to preserve historical resources. The City is merely acquiring property located
between the Temecula Children's Museum owned by the City and the historic
Mercantile Building that is part of the Old Town Temecula Theater. The Property is
within the historic Old Town Temecula. While the City has no present plans for the
development of the Property, the acquisition of the Property by City enables the City to
preserve it as part of the historic Mercantile Building and the historic Old Town.
Section 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this
resolution.

Numbers 922-036-039 and 922-036-040 (Property). The Property includes all of the interests of
Seller in and to the Property and all rights and appurtenances pertaining to said real property,
including any improvements and landscaping, all rights, title, interest of Seller in and to adjacent
streets, alleys or rights of way. The Property is more particularly described on Exhibit"A" hereto
and depicted roughly on Exhibit "B" hereto.
B. The Property is located between the Temecula Children's Museum owned by the
City and the historic Mercantile Building that is part of the Old Town Temecula Theater. The
Property is within the historic Old Town Temecula. While the City has no present plans for the
development of the Property, the City's acquisition of the Property for a public use enables the
City to preserve it as part of the historic Mercantile Building and the historic Old Town.
C. The Seller and the City have negotiated the City's purchase of the Property in
fee. Seller desires to sell, and the City desires to buy, the Property in fee, including all
improvements thereon and all of Seller's interest in and to the Property, on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals, which are incorporated
herein by this reference, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the City and Seller agree to the following:
1. Purchase and Sale. On the Close of Escrow, as defined in Section 2 below,
Seller agrees to sell the Property in fee to the City and City agrees to purchase the Property in
fee from Seller on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Opening and Close of Escrow. Within five business days after the effective
date of this Agreement, the City will deliver a copy of the fully-executed Agreement to Escrow
Holder. For purposes of the Agreement, Opening of Escrow means the date on which Escrow
Holder receives a copy of the fully-executed Agreement from the City and Seller. The parties
can execute the Agreement in counterparts as set forth in Section 22.f. below. Close of Escrow
will occur on the date that is 90 calendar days from the Opening of Escrow and the Close of
Escrow means the date on which the Grant Deed is delivered and recorded in the Official
-1-
111 Records of the County of Riverside. Except as provided in Section 3.b. below, the Close of
Escrow will occur on the date that is 90 calendar days after the Opening of Escrow after the
performance of all duties and obligations under this Escrow that are required to take place prior
to Close of Escrow. Before the Close of Escrow, Seller will solely bear all risk of loss and
damage to the Property from any source whatsoever.
3. Purchase Price and Seller's Option to Extend Close of Escrow.
a. Purchase Price. The total purchase price that the City will pay to Seller
for the Property is the sum of One Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,450,000) for
the fair market value of the Property (referred to below as the Purchase Price). No attempt has
been made to assign value to the lesser interest in the Property. Thus, the Purchase Price is
the total price for the Property without distinction or separation for various interests that may be
held in the Property. Seller is responsible for any apportionment or allocation of the Purchase
Price if required for any separately held interests that may exist in the Property. The Purchase
Price is subject to an appraisal of the fair market value of the Property discussed in Section
14.d. below.
b. Extension of Close of Escrow and Reduction in Purchase Price. Seller
has informed the City that it wishes to purchase a replacement property for a tax-deferred
exchange under 26 U.S.C. Section 1031. Accordingly, the City and Seller agree that Seller
may, at Seller's sole option, extend the Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, to
provide additional time for Seller to locate said replacement property. The parties agree that if
Seller exercises Seller's right to extend the Close of Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days,
Seller will provide written notice to the City and Escrow Holder 15 calendar days before the
Close of Escrow. Further, in consideration for the option to extend the Close of Escrow by an
additional 90 calendar days, Seller agrees that if Seller determines to extend the Close of
Escrow by an additional 90 calendar days, the Purchase Price will be reduced by Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000).
4. Title and Title Insurance. Upon the Opening of Escrow, Escrow Holder will
obtain and issue a title commitment for the Property. Escrow Holder will also request two
copies each of all instruments identified as exceptions on said title commitment. Upon receipt of
the foregoing, Escrow Holder will deliver these instruments and the title commitment to the City
and Seller. Escrow Holder will insure the City's interest in the Property, which is described in
Recital A above and on Exhibits "A" and "B" to this Agreement at the Close of Escrow by a
CLTA Owner's Standard Coverage Policy of Title Insurance (or an ALTA Extended Coverage
Form of Title Policy if the City elects such coverage as provided in Section 4.b. below) in the
amount of the Purchase Price (Policy). The City will pay for the cost of the Policy.

interest in the Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions, and rights-of-way

fiscal year that are a lien not then due and payable.

any municipality, county, state or federal jurisdiction affecting the Property; and
-2-
Those non-monetary exceptions approved by the City within 15
business days after the date the City receives the title commitment and legible copies of all
instruments noted as exceptions therein. If the City unconditionally disapproves any such
exceptions, Escrow will thereupon terminate, all funds deposited therein will be refunded to the
City (less City's share of escrow cancellation charges), and this Agreement will have no further
force or effect. If the City conditionally disapproves any such exceptions, then Seller will use
Seller's best efforts to cause such exceptions to be removed by the Close of Escrow. If such
conditionally disapproved non-monetary exceptions are not removed by the Close of Escrow,
the City may, at its option, either accept the Property subject to such encumbrances, or
terminate the Escrow and receive a refund of all funds deposited into Escrow (less City's share
of escrow cancellation charges), if any, and this Agreement will thereupon be of no further force
or effect. At the Close of Escrow, the City's interest in the Property will be free and clear of all
monetary encumbrances.
b. The City will have the option of obtaining an ALTA Extended Coverage
Form Policy of Title Insurance (ALTA Extended Policy) or a CLTA Standard Coverage Form
Owners Policy of Title Insurance. If the City, in its sole discretion, determines to obtain an ALTA
Extended Policy, the City will, at its expense, procure an ALTA survey. The City will also pay
the cost of any such ALTA Extended Policy.

assessments that relates to the period before the Close of Escrow and the City will pay the
taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with
respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been
fixed will be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the
actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at the
Close of Escrow, the parties will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments
between themselves following the Close of Escrow. Seller will pay all delinquent taxes and

which there shall be no cure period), this Agreement and the Escrow for the purchase and sale
of the Property shall terminate, and if the City is the non-defaulting party, the City shall
thereupon promptly receive a refund of any funds deposited with Escrow Holder. Except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such termination of the Escrow by a non-defaulting party
shall be without prejudice to the non-defaulting party's rights and remedies against the
defaulting party at law or equity.
