The Property is located within an area proposed for annexation to the City commonly known as the Bethel Corridor North Annexation Area. C.

Wal-Mart obtained site plan approval ("Site Plan Approval") by the Kitsap County ("County") Hearing Examiner for the Project on June 7, 2010 (Hearing Examiner Case No. 030324-028). Additional permits for the Project have been approved or issued by the County, are pending with the County, or will be submitted to the County or the city. D. The City and County have different processes for the approval of applications for projects like the Project. The City and County also have different substantive standards for the development of projects like the Project. E. The City and Wal-Mart recognize that Wal-Mart has a vested right to develop the Project pursuant to the approved or issued County permits and the standards to which the Project is vested through the submission of complete applications. F. The City and Wal-Mart desire to enter into a Development Agreement, as authorized by RCW 36.70B.170, which establishes procedures and standards for the inspection of the Project and review and approval of any applications not acted upon by the County prior to annexation of the Property by the City. Based on the foregoing considerations, the City and Wal-Mart enter into the following Development Agreement. AGREEMENT 1. Approved or Issued Permits. The City recognizes that it is legally required to permit development of the Project in accordance with the terms of permits or approvals issued for the Project by the County prior to annexation ("County Permits"). 2. Conditions. The City shall not impose conditions, taxes, fees or charges or require dedications as a condition of development of the Project unless such conditions, taxes, fees, charges or dedications are required by the County Permits or the Kitsap County Code in effect on the date of this Agreement and consistent with Washington law; provided, however, that the City may impose its adopted generally applicable application fees on any application submitted to the City. Wal-Mart shall construct the Project in accordance with the Site -Plan Approval, and comply with all conditions of said approval. If Wal-Mart proposes any change to the Project that require modification to the Site Plan Approval, then such modification shall be processed: (1) prior to annexation, by the County in accordance with the procedures of the County Code; or (2) after annexation, by the City in accordance with the procedures of the Port Orchard Municipal Code ("City Code"). 3. Development Review and Inspection Process. After annexation, any permits or approvals required for the Project but not previously issued by the County shall be processed by the City utilizing the process provided for the permit or approval in the City Code. 4. Development Standards. In exchange for Wal-Mart's agreement contained in section 8 below, the City agrees to recognize the Project as being vested to the development standards of the Kitsap County Code ("Development Standards") in effect on the Property on the date the application for Site Plan Approval for the Project was submitted. Applications for permits or approvals for development of the Project shall be governed by the Development Standards.

Such signage shall be permitted pursuant to a sign permit issued by the Building Official in accordance with the requirements of City Code. 6. Inspections. After annexation, the County may conduct any required construction inspections of the Project in accordance with the process provided for inspections in the County Code. In the alternative, if the County fails or refuses to conduct the inspections, or at Wal-Mart's election, inspections will be conducted at Wal- Mart's cost by a third -party contractor selected by the City. The City will recognize the decisions of such third -party contractor as its own. The City shall not require modifications to work already inspected and approved by the County. 7. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be five years or until the Project receives final inspection and issuance of the certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first. Following the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Project shall be subject to state law and City Code requirements for permitted and nonconforming uses. 8. Consent to Annexation. This Agreement is contingent on Wal-Mart's execution during the Term of this Agreement of a petition for annexation ("Annexation Petition") to the City of the Property as provided in RCW 3 5.13, as it now exists or as it may hereafter be amended, and the subsequent annexation of the Property into the City during the term of this Agreement.
