public transportation, square footage and other reasonable business amenities prior to

time of relocation and the rent required at the new sites for a period of sixty months.

4. The County will make available to existing businesses the addresses of all County
owned sites within an area within two miles of the existing site and agrees to discuss, in
good faith, any proposals by existing businesses for redevelopment of those sites for

development and construction that will not be recompensed by relocation benefits guaranteed by the

-10-
Community Building Agreement for the Transit Village Project Draft 07.22.09

Uniform Relocation Act. Therefore the County and Developer agree to compensate any existing
business that suffers loss, including lost profits, over and above that which is compensated by the

lose revenue due to construction than they shall be eligible for additional compensation.

be able to choose storefront locations if they so desire.

that have affirmatively exercised their right to return may mutually agree to modify their
choice of sites.

1. If less than sixteen existing businesses choose to return to the redeveloped site, the
Developer and the County will recruit locally owned small businesses so that at least
sixteen of the businesses on the redeveloped site are either existing businesses who have

existing small businesses and other local business development organizations to locate
locally owned small businesses for the site. If, after using their best efforts, the County
