California County Planning Directors Association (CCPDA)

Good Day All,

We have an adopted Board policy that requires an indemnification agreement for most entitlement applications that go before our Planning Commission and Board. Based on a recent application, we need to develop a better mechanism to either enforce the agreement or rescind/void the entitlement to remove our financial liability of defending against a legal challenge to a project.

I wanted to get some feedback on what remedies other jurisdictions are using in a situation where an applicant does not meet their indemnification responsibilities and their project is challenged. I am looking for options other than suing the applicant for breach of contract.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
