If Company is a member of CIMA, the obligations of Company and City shall be governed by the CIMA agreement, to which agreement City is a party. IV. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 2020, and continuing thereafter until December 31, 2031, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and City, as provided by the Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 2031, the agreement of City not to annex property of Company within the District shall terminate. In that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Company agrees that if the Texas Local Government Code Section , is amended, or any new legislation is thereafter 6 enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further obligations on City in connection therewith after the annexation of such land, Company will waive the right to require City to comply with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with the provisions of said laws as the same existed on January 1, 2019. V. This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or periods by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even though it is not extended by agreement between City and all of the owners of all land within the District of which it is a part. VI. A. In the event Company elects to protest the valuation for tax purposes set on its said properties by City or by the Harris County Appraisal District for any year or years during the terms hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude such protest and Company shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to reduce the same. Notwithstanding such protest by Company, and except as otherwise provided in Article VI(B), Company agrees to pay to City on or before the date therefore hereinabove provided, at least the total of (a) the total amount of ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu of taxes" on the unannexed portions of Company's hereinabove described property which would be due to City in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company. When the City or Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may be) valuation on said property of Company has been so finally determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final conclusion of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company shall make payment to City of any additional payment due hereunder, or City shall make payment to Company of any refund due, as the case may be, based on such final valuation, together with applicable penalties, interests, and costs. B. Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (which shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within twenty (20) calendar days of receiving , give written notice to the City of such disagreement. In the event Company does not give such written notice of disagreement within such time period, the appraisal made by said independent appraiser shall be final and controlling for purposes of the determination of "in lieu of taxes" payments to be made under this Agreement. Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall also 7 submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the market value of Company's property for "in lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date the notice of disagreement was received by City, the parties have not reached agreement as to such market value, the parties agree to submit the dispute to final arbitration as provided in subparagraph 1 of this Article VI(B). Notwithstanding any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at least the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments which would be due hereunder on the basis of Company's written valuations statement submitted to City by Company hereunder, or the total assessment and "in lieu of taxes" thereon for the last preceding year, whichever is higher. 1.A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of one person named by Company, one by City, and a third to be named by those two. In case of no agreement on this arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written request that the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution of the difference between the parties as to the fair market value of Company's property for calculation of the "in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all relevant and material evidence on that issue including expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding upon the parties, subject only to judicial review as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration Act (Chapter 171, "General Arbitration", Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code). Costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and the city, provided that each party shall bear its own attorneys fees. VII. City shall be entitled to a tax lien on Company's above described property, all improvements thereon, and all tangible personal property thereon, in the event of default in payment of "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, which shall accrue penalty and interest in like manner as delinquent taxes, and which shall be collectible by City in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent taxes. VIII. 8 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon City and Company, and upon Company's successors and assigns, affiliates and subsidiaries, and shall remain in force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner disposes of, either voluntarily or by operation of law, all or any part of the property belonging to it within the territory hereinabove described, and the agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants running with the land owned by Company situated within said territory, for so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in force. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90) days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this Agreement. IX. If City enters into an Agreement with any other landowner with respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any existing industrial district agreements after the effective date hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement. X. The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate, and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities. Without such agreement neither party hereto would enter into this Agreement. In the event any one or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm, corporation or circumstances shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of such words, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part of the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent of and separable from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity of the remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. XI. Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to said Land shall terminate. XII.

The vote was 6-0, and the item was tabled. The item was placed on the agenda ofthe June 18, 2020 regularPlanning & Zoning Commissionmeeting. The applicant amended the proposal, limiting the homes on Oregon Streetto one-story but not reducing the number of proposed lots along Oregon. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted on a motion to deny the zone change as submitted. The vote was 5-3, and the motion to DENY passed.Commissioners Kendrick, Walter, and Barrerawere the dissenting votes.

Currently, the property is undeveloped.The applicant would like to develop the site for a residential duplex development. The site is in the process of being rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Under the previous zoning of R-3, the applicant had the legal right to develop any type of residential use on the site including zero lot line and duplex development. The applicant is requestingthe zone change, in conjunction with this proposed SCUP, in order to facilitate a number of possible conditions and variances. These variances dealmostly with lot size, setbacks, and driveway separation. The Planning &Zoning Commission, at their May 21, 2020,regular meeting,voted on a motion to table the proposed zone change. The motion was made in response to a number of concerns that were voiced by neighboring property owners regarding the number of proposed lots and driveways that would front Oregon Street. The Planning &Zoning Commission asked the applicant to look at the possibility of reducing the number of lots on OregonStreetand limit the type of units on Oregon to one-story standalone single family. The vote was 6-0, and the item was tabled. Due to the fact that the zone change was tabled, no action was taken on the SCUP at that time. Thepublic hearing for this SCUP request was held atthe June 18, 2020 Planning & Zoning Commission regular meeting. The applicant amended the proposal, limiting the homes on Oregon Streetto one-story but not reducing the number of proposed lots along Oregon. The Commission voted on a motion to deny the SCUP as submitted. The vote was 5-3, and the motion to DENY passed. Commissioners Kendrick, Walter, and Barrera were the dissenting votes. Chairman Lawler abstained from the vote. Planning & Zoning Commission discussion focused on a desire to see standalone single family along Oregon Streetwith a reduced number of driveways. The applicant has since amended their plan for a third time, reducing the number of new lots along Oregon Streetto four (4) and has committed to constructing standalone .
