12 EXHIBIT C-1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION & PERMITTED USES RESTATED DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED USES THIS EXHIBIT IS NOT INTENDED TO MODIFY THE PREVIOUS EXHIBIT C, IT IS MERELY BEING RESTATED IN FULL The original Development Agreement became effective on November 24, 1992, and provided for a term of 25 years, to November 24, The Proposed Project is the extension of the term of PD No Development Agreement for The Walt Disney Studios Master Plan ( Master Plan ) for a period of eighteen (18) years, from November 24, 2017, to November 24, No changes to the type of land uses or intensity of development allowed by PD No would occur under the extension. Approval of the extension would provide additional time for The Walt Disney Company ( Disney or Developer ) to complete and construct the remaining 681,632 Office Equivalent Gross Square Feet (OEGSF) on the Project Site entitled under the Development Agreement. Portions of the Master Plan have been implemented under PD No since its approval in At the time the City originally adopted the Development Agreement in 1992, Disney had approximately 671,343 OEGSF of existing building space. Since that time, approximately 173,485 OEGSF have been demolished and 753,038 OEGSF have been constructed. Notable new development since 1992 includes the Frank G. Wells, ABC Riverside, and Feature Animation buildings along with supporting parking facilities. Currently, The Walt Disney Company has a net effective 1,250,896 OEGSF, with remaining capacity for approximately 681,632 OEGSF of new construction on the remainder of the North and South Campuses to meet the maximum of 1,932,528 OEGSF allowed under the original Development Agreement (see Table 1, next page). In addition to the extension to the Development Agreement for the Master Plan, as part of the project the Developer included a proposal for possible future installation of an ancillary on-site solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that would produce power to serve existing and future facilities located on the Project Site. Installation of any SOFC type facility would require that the City Council take action as a separate and subsequent decision to permit fuel cell generators as well as the accompanying requirement for an Interconnection Agreement (through Burbank Water & Power). Disney would not be able to install the fuel cell generator(s) unless and until the City Council has voted to allow it (i.e., a separate vote as an action subsequent to this First Amendment to the Development Agreement).
