ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED AT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE PERMITTED UNDER THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN This section presents an analysis of the fair market value of the Seller Property at its highest and best use. In appraisal terminology, the highest and best use is that use of the Seller Property that generates the highest property value and is physically possible, financially feasible, and legally permitted. Therefore, value at highest and best use is based solely on the value created and not on whether or not that use carries out the redevelopment goals and policies for the City of National City. By definition, the highest and best use is that use which is physically possible, financially feasible, and legally permitted. The Seller Property is zoned General Commercial - Planned Development (CG-PD). CG-PD allows for high intensity commercial and complementary development along major roadways and in community shopping complexes. Compatible residential development of no more than one unit per 1,250 square feet (SF) of lot area is also permitted. KMA undertook a review of available appraisals and comparable land sales in order to determine the fair market value of the Seller Property. KMA first reviewed the appraisal done for the Commission and conducted by Keagy Real Estate with a date of value of February 24, 2006. The appraisal states the Seller Property's optimal "utility is for a residential condominium development, which would be subject to issuance of a conditional use permit. Keagy Real Estate relied on the comparable sales approach to value, with a conclusion of value for the Seller Property of $2,135,000, or $45 per SF of land. In addition, KMA undertook its own review of selected land sales in the City of National City and surrounding communities. Table 1 summarizes the KMA review of land sales. The KMA survey focused on sales of sites for the time period from January 2008 to the present. As shown in the table, sales prices ranged from $14 to $131 per SF of land. The median and average sales price were $43 and $55 per SF of land, respectively. The appraised value determined by Keagy Real Estate falls slightly below the average sales price of the comparables. At the present time, new real estate development ventures are severely hampered by depressed market demand, market oversupply, impaired financing markets, and a gloomy outlook for the national economy. As such, land values have declined in recent years, and a downward adjustment is therefore appropriate. On this basis, then, KMA believes that a reduction from the appraised value on the order of 15% is warranted. KMA concludes that the fair market value of the Seller Property at its highest and best use is $1,823,000, or $39 per SF of land. Summary Report Palm Plaza 09156ndh 16104.006.022 Page 5 IV. ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED AT THE USE AND WITH THE CONDITIONS, COVENANTS, AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS REQUIRED BY THE SALE OF THE SELLER PROPERTY Re -use value is defined as the highest price in terms of cash or its equivalent, which a property or development right is expected to bring for a specified use in a competitive open market, subject to the conditions, covenants, and development costs imposed by the Agreement. Since there are no extraordinary covenants, conditions, or restrictions delineated in the Agreement, KMA concludes that the fair re -use of the Seller Property is equal to its fair market value at highest and best use, or $1,823,000. Summary Report Palm Plaza 09156ndh 16104.006.022 Page 6 V. THE COMPENSATION WHICH PURCHASER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY The estimated value of the compensation to be received by the Commission for the Seller Property is $1,823,000. Summary Report Palm Plaza 09156ndh 16104.006.022 Page 7 VI. EXPLANATION OF THE DIFFERENCE, IF ANY, BETWEEN THE COMPENSATION TO BE PAID TO THE COMMISSION BY THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED AT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE CONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The fair market value of the interest to be conveyed at its highest and best use is estimated by KMA to be $1,823,000. The value of the compensation to be received by the Commission is $1,823,000. The compensation to be paid to the Commission is equal to the fair market value of the interest to be conveyed at its highest and best use. Summary Report Palm Plaza 09156ndh 16104.006.022 Page 8 VII. EXPLANATION OF WHY THE SALE OF THE SELLER PROPERTY WILL ASSIST WITH THE ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT The Redevelopment Plan for the National City Redevelopment Project Area governs the Seller Property. In accordance with Section 33490 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, the Plan contains the goals and objectives and the projects and expenditures proposed to eliminate blight within the Project Area. Implementation of the Agreement can be expected to assist in the alleviation of blighting conditions through the following: • Eliminate factors hindering economically viable uses. • Eliminate unsafe and unhealthy buildings. • Eliminate incompatible uses. • Provide environmental remediation.
