PREPARATION OF VISUAL SIMULATION MODELING TO ASSESS GENERAL PLAN
2020 POLICIES & PROGRAMS & ZONING PROVISIONS SPECIFIC TO THE
DOWNTOWN SAN RAFAEL VISION
This Agreement is made and entered into this 18th day of September , 2017, by and
between the CITY OF SAN RAFAEL (hereinafter "CITY"), and BREEZE KINSEY dba
CIVICKNIT (hereinafter "CONTRACTOR").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, in 1993, the San Rafael City Council adopted Our Vision of Downtown San
Rafael and Our Implementation Strategy. This vision document, which is conunonly referred to as
the "Downtown Vision," provides a list of implementation recommendations, which include, among
others changing building height and floor area ratio allowances for Downtown properties; and
WHEREAS, in 2004, the San Rafael City Council adopted the San Rafael General Plan
2020, a 20 -year master plan for the City. The recommendations of the Downtown Vision were
incorporated as policies and programs in the General Plan 2020. Subsequent to this action, the City
Council adopted zoning ordinance text and map amendments to incorporate the recommendations
of the General Plan 2020; and
WHEREAS, in 2017, the City initiated the preparation of the San Rafael General Plan
2040, an updated master plan for the City to cover the 20 -year period of 2020-2040. As part of this
plan update process, it is prudent to revisit and assess the policies and zoning allowances that were
adopted by the City to address the 1993 Downtown Vision. Public forms such as a City Council
Study Session will be used to refresh and/or educate the City Council and public on the General
Plan policies and zoning allowances for Downtown San Rafael; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is necessary to prepare effective visual tools to
demonstrate application of the current spatial standards and allowances (e.g., building height and
floor area ratio allowances, design policies and requirements) for development in Downtown San
Rafael. The CONTRACTOR provides the professional services needed to prepare and present
computer-generated visual simulation modeling for this effort.

PROJECT MANAGER and the City Attorney.

any kind, including but not limited to attorney's fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation, (collectively "CLAIMS"), arising out of CONTRACTOR'S performance of its
obligations or conduct of its operations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR's
5
obligations apply regardless of whether or not a liability is caused or contributed to by the active
or passive negligence of the City Indemnitees. However, to the extent that liability is caused by
the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City Indemnitees, the CONTRACTOR's
indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the City Indemnitees' share of
liability for the active negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the acceptance or approval
of the CONTRACTOR's work or work product by the CITY or any of its directors, officers or
employees shall not relieve or reduce the CONTRACTOR's indemnification obligations. In the
event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial
proceeding arising from CONTRACTOR'S performance of or operations under this Agreement,
CONTRACTOR shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at CITY'S option
reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred in defense of such claims.
B. Where the services to be provided by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement are
design professional services to be performed by a design professional as that term is defined
under Civil Code Section 2782.8, CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify, release, defend and hold harmless the City Indemnitees from and against any
CLAIMS that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of CONTRACTOR in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement,
except such CLAIM which is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY.
C. The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in
addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by; the insurance obligations contained in this
Agreement, and shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period
of time allowed by law.
12. NONDISCRIMINATION.
CONTRACTOR shall not discriminate, in any way, against any person on the basis of age,
sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin or disability in connection with or related to the
performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

ordinances, codes and regulations, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall perform all services under this Agreement in accordance with
