C. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to implement the reimbursement policy of Resolution No. 14609 and specifically to cover the costs incurred commencing as of [date] and to be incurred by City in connection with the processing of the Project application. Developer understands that its funding of such costs is at its sole risk and that nothing in this Agreement is or shall be construed to control or limit the City's exercise of discretion with respect to any aspect of evaluating the Project, nor shall it be construed as making any commitment regarding the granting of any entitlements for development. Developer further acknowledges and understands and accepts the risk that the City may elect to discontinue this process completely at any point whatsoever. D. Developer acknowledges and understands that Developer shall be required to fund City's costs associated with obtaining any land use approvals or entitlements in furtherance of development of the Project. The parties understand that the intent is to provide that City shall recover all costs associated with the review, evaluation, and processing of the Project.
