EXHIBIT 3 <br />\\ , <br />Valbridge Public Pay Parking Lot <br />LAND VALUATION <br />...._ PROPERTY ADVISORS <br />Discussion and Analysis of Land Sales <br />Adjustments for property interests, favorable financing and sales conditions were not warranted. As <br />there is very limited supply, vacancy has been on the decline, rental rates have increased, and <br />property values have been increasing over the past few years. Thus, we have made upward <br />adjustments to the comparable properties at rate of 4% per year from the date the property sold to <br />the date of value for the subject property in order to account for these changes in market conditions <br />(time). Across the board adjustments were necessary to reflect the fact that the subject is located on <br />a minor traffic street, has a zoning that is primarily oriented towards office and has limited <br />development potential due to its smaller size. <br />Land Comp No.1 <br />Land comp no. 1 is located west of the subject, at 520 S. Harbor Blvd., in the city of Santa Ana. The <br />property is located in a small retail area with some sales car lots surrounding the site on an interior <br />lot fronting a major traffic street. The sale price for this property was $5,200,000 which equates to <br />$52.36 per square foot. This property is located in the western area of Santa Ana with similar <br />demographics. The site has visibility to a major traffic street. The site is rectangular in shape, but is <br />narrow in shape with limited street frontage. The front of the site is asphalt paved and was used as a <br />car sales lot. The rear of the site is vacant land. An upward adjustment was needed for the <br />property's larger size. Downward adjustments were made for superior visibility/exposure on a busier <br />street and superior zoning. An additional downward adjustment has been for the subject's small site <br />size and narrow shape, which limits the potential land uses/development of the site. Overall, this <br />comparable was considered superior to the subject. After adjustments, this sale provides an <br />indication of land value for the subject at $36.85 per square foot. <br />Land Comp No.2 <br />Land comp no. 2 is located east of the subject, at NEC 1st St & Grand Ave., in the city of Santa Ana. <br />Bath streets are moderate traffic streets and this comparable is located in a similar area of Santa Ana <br />as the subject. This location is approximately 1/2 mile to the west of the Santa Ana (5) Freeway. The <br />sale price for this property was $1,975,000, which equates to $58.05 per square foot. The property is <br />situated at the immediate corner of a signalized intersection in a somewhat secondary area of older <br />commercial and residential development. This area is similar in demographics to the subject. While <br />it has corner exposure it also wraps around an adjacent property to the east. Thus, the shape of the <br />site is irregular. It sold to a motivated buyer from the immediate area who was attempting to expand <br />church operations. At the time of sale, the property had some old paving and was formerly occupied <br />with a used car business. Considering the buyer motivation, a downward adjustment has been made <br />for "sale conditions." Upward adjustments are necessary for larger size of the site, irregular shape, <br />and site condition (demolition cost). Downward adjustments are warranted for superior <br />access/orientation, superior visibility/exposure on a busier street, and superior zoning. An additional <br />downward adjustment has been for the subject's small site size and narrow shape, which limits the <br />potential land uses/development of the site. Overall, this comparable was considered superior to the <br />subject. After adjustments, this sale provides an indication of land value for the subject at $36.78 <br />per square foot. <br />Land Comp No.3 <br />Land comp no. 3 is located north of the subject, at 14337 Imperial Hwy, in the city of La Mirada <br />(uninc). This property is just east of Valley View Avenue. It has an interior orientation and fronts a <br />well -traveled artery in a secondary commercial area of old retail, single-family residences, and <br />© 2015 VALBRIDGE PROPERTY ADVISORS I Penner and Associates, Inc.
