a) No change in the use of the subject property shall be made in conformance with such planning relief; and

b) No building permit shall be issued for construction of any building or structure which may be constructed only in accordance with or by reason of such planning relief, unless and until the owners of the subject property have executed and recorded with the County Recorder an agreement with the City in which such owners promise to perform such conditions and abide such other limitations. Such agreement shall run with the land and be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
