DAs are public/private contracts specifically authorized by California State law with the purpose of providing to property owners more certainty about the entitlements and exactions that will apply to their property. The local government receives a legally binding promise the developer will provide infrastructure and/or pay fees required by a new project. The developer receives a legally binding promise it can build a project. The DA sets forth the rights and responsibilities between the City and the property owner/developer. DAs are primarily utilized on large, master planned developments constructed in a phased manner over a relatively long period of time, and often require significant investments in public infrastructure on the part of PX17-0904, 1008-1700 Stoneridge Mall Road Planning Commission 3 of 5
