million lights along Mission Inn Avenue, horse-drawn carriage rides, and live entertainment. The Festival of Lights runs from late November through early January and draws an estimated 250,000 people to the downtown. Other popular downtown events include, but are not limited to, the Lunar Festival, Mission Inn Run, Black History Month Parade, Dickens Festival, and Show n’ Go. The Downtown area has, of recent, undergone amajor transformation with new projects and investment as part of the Riverside Renaissance initiative, a $1.57 billion program to improve infrastructure and quality of life in Riverside. The effort represented a significant investment in the quality and pride of the City and has ensured that Riverside is a city of choice for generations to come, as well as a catalyst for private investment. As a result of the initiative, Riverside has become amore attractive location for new job, retail, and entertainment opportunities, all of which enhance the wealth of the community and ensure Riverside’s position as the economic, governmental and cultural capital of the Inland Southern California region. Lastly, Site 2 is also located in close proximity to the Riverside Food Lab project, the newly developed Riverside Community College District Office and Culinary Arts Academy, the currently under construction Imperial Hardware Lofts, and established businesses. Furthermore, this location is located close to several upcoming development projects, including themixed use Stalder Plaza, the Hampton Inn Hotel, and themixed- use Culver Center Lofts.

The City of Riverside-owned and controlled Riverside Municipal Airport has become the leading destination for corporate and business aviation in the Inland Southern California region. With complete landing and navigation systems for all-weather con ditions, full conference and catering facilities as well as every level of pilot and aircraft services, this first-class destination is handling the rapidly growing business aviation demands of the region. Unlike the Los Angeles basin and coastal airports, Riverside has uncongested airspace, complete local political support, no noisemitigation problems and room for expansion. Easily han dling its 100,000 annual flight operations, this tower-controlled field provides immediate entry into the center of Southern Cal ifornia’s most exciting region, or a convenient departure point for the Pacific Rim, Mexico, or any other business destination in North America. Included in the Riverside Municipal Airport campus, which is comprised of 525 acres, is approximately 60 vacant develop able acres (Site Map – Attachment 1) that can be sold or leased to Amazon for a portion of its second headquarters. Moreover, the Riverside Municipal Airport also contains an existing rail spur that can be utilized by Amazon. Lastly, under the current zoning, Site 1 could provide for lower intensity, supplemental office, data infrastructure, and ware house uses. The historic former Chinatown site, which is approximately 4.2 acres and is designated as City Historic Landmark No. 19 by the City’s Cultural Heritage Board, County Landmark State Point of Historical Interest and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the immediately adjacent properties (as shown on Site Map – Attachment 2) encompass approximately 22.5 acres.

This proposed development site is comprised of 26 separate landowners and would need to be assembled and acquired by Amazon. Amazon could assemble and construct a project similar in size and scope to a previously submitted development proposal (also shown on Attachment 2), which was envisioned to include the following:

• Signature historic Chinatown park with a visitor center, demonstration gardens, and an events arena.

• Adaptive reuse of the historic Grant Elementary school and fountain as an 18,000 square foot conference center. • Several multi-story office buildings totaling approximately 1.2million square feet.

• Mediumdensity housing totaling approximately 300,000 square feet with 60,000 square feet of ground floor retail.

The current zoning of the collective Site 2 properties would allow for the construction of office, retail and limited residential. Moreover, Site 2 is located just outside of Downtown Riverside. Downtown Riverside is the location of multiple attractions, oriented toward arts and culture, including the Historic Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, Mission Inn Museum, the Riverside Metropolitan and Art Museum, the University of California – Riverside Arts Block, Culver Center for the Arts, the recently renovated Fox Performing Arts Center, Main Street Riverside, and the Riverside Municipal Auditorium. Special events in downtown include the annual Festival of Lights, which includes holiday decorations withmore than three

March Joint Powers Authority Proposed Sites

March Joint Powers Authority Incentives The March Joint Powers Authority is an award-winning Base Reuse Authority fostering successful public-private partnerships for the development of former March Air Force Base properties. Located within the heart of western Riverside County and under the joint leadership of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and City Councils of Moreno Valley, Perris, and Riverside, the March JPA is home to one of themost sustainable and progressive business centers within California. Fast Track Project Entitlement/Permitting As the Base Reuse Authority for former March Air Force Base properties, March JPA was assigned land use authority over its properties whichmeans that the JPA has the ability to entitle and permit all developments on its properties. These processes do not require any additional permits from the County of Riverside or surrounding cities. The Agency’s land use authority, coupled with its economic development function, has allowed it to formulate plans that streamline the entitlement and permitting of projects proposed within the March JPA Planning Area. Because Meridian Business Park was fully entitled by the March JPA, incoming businesses enjoy aminimal review process for permitting or subsequent entitlements. Companies looking to move into existing shell buildings can occupy facilities within 60 days of applying for tenant improvement permits. Businesses seeking new entitlements on shovel ready properties have received entitlements in 90-days of submitting applications with construction work completed within one year of receiving entitlements. Administrative approvals can be issued within 72 hours while business owners enjoy personal one-on-one service for permit delivery on a regular basis. Fast track permitting is a process that only the March JPA can deliver with few, if any, complications because our mission is to create jobs as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Property Tax Offset Incentive The March Joint Powers Authority can help offset property taxes incurred for the first six years the company is operating within the March Joint Powers Authority’s jurisdiction. The offset will be up to amaximumof $75,000 per year. The timeline for this incentive can be negotiated. March JPA Career Pipeline Initiative (MARS Career Promise) The March JPA has partnered with local K-12 school districts, community colleges, universities, and workforce development agencies to forma career pipeline initiative that will ensure that businesses locating within March JPA’s Planning Area have direct access to a career-ready talent pool. This initiative is funded through local school programs and collaborative public private funding tools with training opportunities that are also made available to employers in the area. March JPA’s career pipeline initiative will ensure that employers’ workforce needs aremet within an accelerated timeframe, thereby minimizing or avoiding any gaps in business operations. University of Southern California’s AMP SoCal Initiative The USC Sol Price School’s Center for Economic Development (Center) is the Administrator of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership for Southern California (AMP SoCal), a program that works withmore than one hundred partners to support the development of a strong hi-tech economy within Southern California. AMP SoCal is a federally designated Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) region, providing employers, and their supply chain, with the tools, talent, and capacity to ensure operational success within the southern ten counties of California. The March Joint Powers Authority is a government partner of the AMP So Cal program. A number of different hi-tech companies participate in AMP SoCal sponsored programs. March JPA’s partnership within AMP So Cal would allow access to federally recognized funding opportunities in economic development.

Foreign-Trade Zone #244 The March Joint Powers Authority is the grantee of Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) 244. Established in 2000, FTZ #244 operates under the alternative site framework and currently comprises themajority of western Riverside County. Approval to operate using zone benefits may be obtained in as little as six weeks from the Foreign Trade Zones Board and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Benefits of a Foreign-Trade Zone • Duty Deferral . Delayed payment of duties on goods that enter the U.S. market • Duty Exemption . No duties on or quota charges on imported goods that are later re-exported • Inverted Tariff. Manufacturing-specific benefits – with case-by-case approval by the FTZ Board – can include reduction of duties if a lower tariff rate applies to the finished product leaving the zone than the tariff rates that would have applied on foreign components. • Logistical Benefits . Reductions inmerchandise processing fees because zone users may be able to file a single customs “entry” (and pay a single fee) per week rather thanmaking multiple entries during the course of a week • Other Benefits. Elimination of duties on waste, scrap and rejected or defective parts • Enhancing Competitiveness. By reducing costs, FTZs improve U.S. competitiveness. FTZs help businesses reduce production, transaction, and logistics-related costs by lowering effective duty rates, allowing special entry procedures, and encouraging production closer tomarket. • Creating/Retaining Jobs and Encouraging Investment. By helping local employers remain competitive, zones can contribute tomaintaining or boosting employment opportunities. Plus, lower FTZ based production costs encourage increased investment in U.S. facilities.

About the Foreign-Trade Zone Program • Retail sales are prohibited within a zone • The FTZ Act prohibits residence within a zone • With the exception of formal customs entry procedures, all other local, state and federal laws and regulations apply (including labor and immigration laws) • FTZs remain under the direct supervision of U.S. Customs and Border Protection • FTZs are within the territory of the U.S. and merchandise stored in a FTZ is considered imported into the U.S. Using a Foreign-Trade Zone Once a zone location has been established by the FTZ Board, companies are required to “activate” the zone with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prior to beginning FTZ operations. Zone activity occurs under the supervision of CBP and FTZs remain within the jurisdiction of all other local, state and federal governments or agencies. Types of Companies Using a Foreign-Trade Zone Large and small companies alike use a Foreign-Trade Zone: seventy percent of Foreign-Trade Zone users are small businesses. These companies defer, reduce or eliminate U.S. Customs duties and fees. Such companies include importers, manufacturers, distributors, assemblers of products, and exporters of importedmerchandise and/or products containing importedmerchandise. A company that does not buy or receive imported products from foreign or domestic vendors, and does not plan to do so, will not benefit from the use of a Foreign-Trade Zone.
