         This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule
13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed by California Public Employees' Retirement System
("CalPERS"), a governmental employee pension fund, which is a unit of the State
and Consumer Services Agency of the State of California, with respect to the
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Catellus
Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 9 have the meanings given to
such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

         Item 4 is amended by adding to the end thereof the following
information:

         CalPERS currently holds 37,757,250 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
By letter dated October 8, 1997 (the "Registration Request") CalPERS requested,
pursuant to Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement between CalPERS and
the Issuer, that the Issuer file a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, covering the registration of 18,975,000 of such shares
(including up to 2,475,000 shares to cover overallotments) which CalPERS intends
to distribute by means of an underwritten public offering. If all of the shares
to be registered are sold, immediately after the public offering CalPERS would
continue to own 18,782,250 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 17.6% of the
outstanding Common Stock. The description of the Registration Request is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, which is
filed as Exhibit 15 hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

         The proposed sale of a portion of its Common Stock is intended to
further the ongoing diversification of CalPERS' $6.4 billion real estate
portfolio while permitting it to continue to invest in the Issuer. CalPERS will
continue to hold its remaining shares of Common Stock as an investment; this
investment represents a significant component of CalPERS' strategic commitment
to real estate investment in California. CalPERS may from time to time seek to
increase, reduce or dispose of its investment in the Common Stock in the open
market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The determination to
effect any such transaction will depend upon, among other things, the market
price of the Common Stock, availability of funds, borrowing costs, market
conditions, developments affecting the Company and CalPERS, other opportunities
available to CalPERS, the remaining composition of CalPERS' real estate
portfolio, and other considerations. CalPERS intends to continue to review and
evaluate its investment in the Common Stock and to take such action with respect
to its investment as it considers desirable in light of circumstances from time
to time prevailing.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer.
