Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of
Temecula, Redevelopment Agency of the City of Temecula, and T.Z.B.G., Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approve the execution of the subject
Memorandum of Understanding.
BACKGROUND:
On October 12, 1993, the City and Redevelopment Agency of Temecula entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with T.Z.B.G., Inc. ("T.Z.B.G.") which outlined a
process of negotiation between the parties to explore the development of an entertainment
project in the Old Town Temecula area.
An amendment to the MOU was approved by the parties on March 8, 1994 authorizing
$250,000 to fund various feasibility studies including an environmental impact report, a
project feasibility report, architectural planning services, and a traffic impact study. The cost
of the studies were split between the parties, T.Z.B.G. paying $125,000 and the City paying
$125,000.
On December 7, 1994, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency reviewed the results of
the Price Waterhouse Feasibility Report which concluded that the entertainment project can
be expected to generate a significant increase in tourist visitation to the City and can be
expected to enjoy a strong level of market support. Price Waterhouse estimates that the
entertainment facilities will attract 1 to 1.5 million visitors annually, and will generate
sufficient operating revenues to fund operating costs, and provide support for construction
financing. The Price Waterhouse Report also states that the economic impact of the project
to the Temecula region would include the creation of 2,500 full time equivalent jobs (annual
earnings estimated at $19,600 per year) new sales volume of $145 million annually and new
construction contracts in the estimated amount of $51.7 million.

Following review of the Price Waterhouse Report, the City Council authorized $65,000 to
complete additional studies including a parking study, a visual impact analysis and a water
facilities study and directed staff to continue negotiations with T.Z,B.G. for a development
agreement defining the respective roles and responsibilities of each party for the construction
and operation of the project.
The subject Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding is the result of these
negotiations.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) clarifies the method of
financing proposed for the project. Initially, T.Z.B.G, requested the City or Redevelopmerit
Agency to issue tax exempt bonds supported by the good faith and credit of the City's
General Fund and amortized, in part, by existing General Fund revenues. The proposed MOU
significantly changes this proposal. Public improvements are to be financed by the City and/or
Redevelopment Agency, while the risk and responsibility for financing the entertainment
facilities will rest completely with T.Z.B.G. Although the proposed MOU calls for the City
and/or Redevelopment Agency to act as a "conduit" issuer of tax exempt bonds, the MOU
clearly states that the City or Redevelopmerit Agency will not secure the bonds nor will
existing revenue of the City or Redevelopment Agency be utilized to support debt service. All
costs of the conduit financing, including bond counsel, financing consultants and fees
necessary to pay the City's administrative costs related to the bond issuance will be paid by
T.Z.B.G,
This revised approach shifts responsibility for financing the entertainment facilities to T.Z.B.G.
and secures the financing with the real estate development as would be the case with
conventional real estate financing. Should the project fail and revenues fall short of
13rojections, the recourse of the bond holder and/or lenders would be limited to foreclosure on
the entertainment facilities. No City funds or assets will be at risk.
· Prior to proceeding with a bond financing, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency in
public meetings will be provided with complete documentation describing the proposed bond
issue and disclosing all the conditions of the financing as required by law.
The public improvements proposed to support the entertainment facilities are currently
included in the Old Town Specific Plan and the City's Capital Improvement Program. These
improvements are scheduled to be constructed with or without the entertainment facility.
Funds proposed to be utilized for public improvements include tax increment revenue, General
Fund revenue, and proceeds of a benefit assessment district for the Western Bypass Corridor.
No existing retail businesses or residents within the Old Town Specific Plan area will be
included in the benefit assessment district.

Other conditions which have been added to the MOU include:
T.Z.B.G. will provide an additional $65,000 to complete planning studies
including water studies, parking studies and real estate appraisals.
T.Z.B.G. will reimburse the City for the cost of studies undertaken in connection
with the project from the proceeds of the construction loan.
T.Z.B.G. will be responsible for construction cost overruns, if any, of the
entertainment facilities.
T.Z.B.G. will pay for any increase in City services created by the entertainment
project.
T.Z.B.G. and the City/Redevelopment Agency will terminate the MOU if the
majority of votes cast on the advisory measure for the project are no.
T.Z.B.G. will, to the extent legally permissible, provide preference to Temecula
area residents for employment.
T.Z.B.G. will incorporate "Old Town Temecula" within the legal and operating
name of the entertainment facilities and, will include publicity about Old Town
Temecula events, festivals, and retail opportunities within advertising and
promotional materials for the entertainment facilities.
T.Z.B.G. will incorporate theater arts, and education within the entertainment
facilities.
The City and/or Redevelopment Agency will establish land use controls to guide
the development of additional entertainment uses, if any.
T.Z.B.G., Inc. will allow community use of the entertainment facilities on a rent-
free basis for a minimum of 40 event days for the benefit of non-profit theater,
arts, groups and other community organizations.
The MOU is effective until August 1, 1995; the parties may extend the MOU
by mutual agreement for one additional six month period until January 31,
1996.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A total of $127,911 has been expended by the City/Redevelopment Agency to study the
feasibility of the project. A like amount has been contributed by T.Z.B.G. The MOU will
require T.Z.B.G. to match a previous City authorization of $65,000. This additional allocation
will be sufficient to complete project planning. The MOU provides for reimbursement of these
costs from the construction loan funded by T.Z.B.G.
