RESOLUTION NO. 7391
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VERNON APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION OF A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND
GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS BY AND BETWEEN THE
CITY OF VERNON AND FAR EAST NATIONAL BANK, AND
DISMISSING AN APPEAL CONCERNING A
NONCONFORMING BUILDING AT 4901-4903 PACIFIC
BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, on August 4, 1998, at a regular meeting of the
City Council of the City of Vernon, the City Council heard an
appeal by Far East National Bank ("the Bank"), owner of the
property at 4901-4903 Pacific Boulevard, from a determination by
the Director of Community Services and Water that a nonconforming
building on said property had been vacant for more than one year
and therefore could not be legally occupied without being brought
into conformity with all of the regulations of the zone in which
the property is located, as provided by Section 26.4.6-7 of the
Vernon City Code; and
WHEREAS, following the August 4, 1998 appeal hearing,
the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7196, denying the appeal
and making findings in support of said denial, said resolution
being incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in
full; and
WHEREAS, by letters dated November 25, 1998, and
February 18 1999, Laurie D. Zelon of Morrison & Foerster, on
behalf of the Bank, requested reconsideration of the denial of the
aforesaid appeal; and
WHEREAS, on March 16, 1999, the City Council held a
second appeal hearing in response to the Bank's request for
reconsideration; and

WHEREAS, the Bank alleges that the directives given by
the Community Services Department and the Environmental Health
Department regarding future use of the Property were not
consistent, although it also appears that the Bank could have and
should have completed remediation of the Property in time to have
resumed occupancy before expiration of the one year deadline in
Vernon City Code § 26.4.6-7; and
WHEREAS, it appears the Bank spent a considerable sum to
clean up the Property after it took possession in July, 1997, and
that such expenditures, in part, were made to satisfy requirements
of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that, under the
unique circumstances of this case, it would be inequitable to
require the Bank, in effect, to demolish the building on the
jProperty; and
WHEREAS, since the March 16, 1999 appeal hearing, the
(Bank and the City staff have examined ways to allow the Bank to
make certain repairs in order to use the building until -August 14,
2009, when in any event the building would have to comply with the
parking and access standards of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
(pursuant to Vernon City Code §26.4.6-4; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to avoid the cost and
expense of litigation that would likely ensue if it were to deny
the Bank's appeal, and the City Council deems it to be in the best
interests of the City to enter into a Settlement Agreement and
General Release of Claims as a means of settling the differences
between the City and the Bank and implementing the terms and
conditions to allow the Bank to reoccupy the Property; and
-2-
1 WHEREAS, the repairs and improvements required by the
2 Agreement will bring the Property into conformity with current
3 building regulations and to that extent the Agreement is
4 consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
5 for eliminating nonconforming uses.
6 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
7 THE CITY OF VERNON AS FOLLOWS:
8 SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Vernon
9 hereby finds and determines that the recitals contained

regulations applicable to the Property no later than August 19,
2009, in consideration for the right to use the Property subject
only to the repairs and improvements required by this Agreement;

unique in that the Property required remediation and removal of
hazardous substances at the time the Bank gained possession of the
Property, the Bank did not create the hazardous substance

activities of the party that caused such hazardous substance

remediation and removal of such hazardous substances; and

controversy between them concerning use of the Property without

August 19, 2009, whichever occurs first, as required by Section
26.4.E-4(b) of the Vernon City Code. It is understood and agreed
that, in connection with any expansion or structural alteration of

5. The Bank understands and agrees that all its rights
under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California
are hereby expressly waived. Said Section 1542 reads as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which
the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him must have materially effected the
settlement with the debtor."
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the
purpose of implementing a full and complete discharge of the
released parties, the Bank expressly acknowledges this Agreement
is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all
claims which the Bank does not know or suspect to exist in its
favor against the released parties at the time of the execution
hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of
any such claim or claims. This release shall not apply to claims
arising out of this Agreement.
6. The City, for itself and each of its successors and
assigns, and anyone claiming through, by or under it, hereby
waives and releases the Bank, its successors and assigns, from any
claim based upon the determination made pursuant to Vernon City
Code § 26.4.6-7 by City's Director of Community Services & Water
in his letter of March 28, 1998, that the Property had been vacant
for a continuous period of at least one year and could not
thereafter be occupied unless brought into conformity with all
applicable regulations.

herein and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an
admission of any breach, wrongdoing or liability whatsoever on the
part of the City or the Bank or any other past or present
employees or officials. Moreover, neither this Agreement nor any
part of this Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall it be
admissible as evidence of, any admission by the City or the Bank
(except for the purpose of requiring or enforcing compliance with
this agreement) of any violation of law or any wrongdoing
whatsoever.
8. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of
any party to bring an action to enforce the terms of this
Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction.
9. In the event that either the City or the Bank
shall institute suit to enforce any rights hereunder, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees from the other.
10. Should any provision of this Agreement be
determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, it
is agreed that this shall not affect the enforceability of the
other provisions herein.
11. The City and the Bank acknowledge that they have
read and understand the terms of this Agreement and that they have
reviewed it with counsel of their own choosing and that they are
relying solely upon the contents of this Agreement and are not
relying on any other representations whatsoever of the released
parties as an inducement to enter into this Agreement.
