BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
This is a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City, acting as the Successor
Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs
("Successor Agency"), and North Palm Canyon Drive Development, LLC, a Delaware
Limited Liability Corporation for a property located at 342 — 344 N. Palm Canyon Drive,
known as the Cork n Bottle property. It is a Successor Agency property and its
disposition is pursuant to the requirements of 34191.5(c) of the Health and Safety Code.
The City and the Oversight Board for the Successor Agency to the Palm Springs
Redevelopment Agency have completed the process mandated by the State of
California applicable to the disposition and use of the Successor Agency property.
Having completed the process, the Successor Agency is now capable of conveying the
property in accordance with Section 34191.5(c) of the Health and Safety Code.
The purchasers have recently acquired the adjacent properties to the north, south and
east of the Cork n Bottle site to assemble for the purpose of a larger development on
the site. Escrow closed on those properties on July 27, 2015 and August 3, 2015.
Oversight Board Report
November 21, 2016
Page 2—Sale of Cork n Bottle Property(LRPMP Property No. 6)
The sale amount for the Cork n Bottle property is $425,000. The former Community
Redevelopment Agency purchased the property in 2006 for $585,000 for the purpose of
assembling the property for future downtown development of a boutique hotel or similar
project. The State-approved value in the Long Range Property Management Plan
(LRPMP) for this 2,080 square foot parcel is $339,620. An appraisal of the market
value of the property by Larry L. Simon, MAI concluded a property valuation of
$350,000 as of September 4, 2015. The proposed sale price is in excess of the
appraised value to cover escrow and closing costs that are normally incurred by the
seller.
Asset Transfer Report
The Dissolution Act called for the Successor Agency, under the direction of the
Oversight Board, to dispose of real property it received from the Dissolved
Redevelopment Agency either for limited public uses, or for disposition into the private
market expeditiously and with a view toward maximizing value, with the disposition
proceeds ultimately made available for distribution to the affected taxing entities.
One of the requirements under the Dissolution Act was for the Successor Agency to
prepare and submit to the State Controller's Office, an Asset Transfer Assessment,
showing the assets that were owned by the Agency and transferred to the Successor
Agency upon the dissolution on February 1, 2012.
Land Disposition Process Under AB 1484
In 2012, the State approved a redevelopment reform act, AB1484, which changed a
number of the processes related to the disposition of dissolved Redevelopment Agency
assets. A131484 provided certain flexibility and local benefits in connection with property
disposition.
At the time of dissolution, the Successor Agency held a total of twelve (12) properties
from the dissolved Redevelopment Agency. These properties included sites assembled
for future redevelopment, public parking lots and other real property. Disposition of
these properties were not able to occur until the Department of Finance ("DOF") issued
a finding of completion and approved a Long Range Property Management Plan
("LRPMP") for the intended disposition of these properties. Assembly Bill 1X 26 added
Health and Safety Code Sections 34191.1-34191.5 requiring that successor agencies
present a LRPMP to their oversight board and submit the LRPMP to DOF no later than
six months following the issuance of the finding of completion.
The Successor Agency received its finding of completion from the DOF on January 2,
2014. The LRPMP was reviewed by the Oversight Board on December 12, 2013.
Prepared in collaboration with a qualified dissolution and real estate consultant, the
LRPMP contains detailed information on each property, such as the date and purchase
of acquisition, parcel characteristics, estimate of the current value and any lease, rental
Oversight Board Report

Page 3—Sale of Cork n Bottle Property(LRPMP Property No. 6)
or other revenues, histories of environmental contamination, and previous development
proposals.
The LRPMP outlined that the Successor Agency would sell the Cork n Bottle parcel.
The State-approved value in the LRPMP for this 2,080 square foot parcel is $339,620.
An appraisal of the market value of the property by Larry L. Simon, MAI concluded a
property valuation of$350,000 as of September 4, 2015.
The sales proceeds collected by the Successor Agency (net of transaction costs) would
be transferred later to the county Auditor-Controller for dissemination to each of the
affected taxing agencies of the former redevelopment project area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The transaction with the parties is $425,000. The City will receive a share of 27% of the
sales proceeds of the transaction from the County Auditor-Controller. The remainder of
those sales proceeds will be allocated to other taxing entities, such as the school district
and the County. Additional new property tax from the redevelopment of the property will
be generated, which will also have a net positive effect on the City and all other taxing
entities.

Successor Agency to the Palm Springs Community Redevelopment. - Property Management-
The former Agency acquired this parcel with the intention of assembling several properties in the
area to develop a boutique hotel to support the nearby Convention Center. However, the adjacent
properties were never acquired by the Agency.
The building on the parcel is a Class 1 historic structure. Therefore, reuse and any interior changes
must be approved by the City's Historic Site Preservation Board.
A commercial building is currently on the parcel. The current tenant is a retail store called "Cork n
Bottle." The tenant began occupancy of the building in 2004. When the Agency purchased the
building in 2006, the Agency assumed Cork n Bottle's lease with the previous owner. The original
lease began in 2004 and ended in 2009. However, the lease provides the tenant the right to extend
the lease for a period of five additional years up to three times, upon the end of the original lease in
2009. In 2009, the tenant opted to extend the lease until November 2014, at which point the tenant
still has two more options to extend the lease for five additional years. Thus, the tenant has the right
to occupy the building until the year 2024.
The City receives $2,750 in monthly lease revenue from Cork n Bottle. Pursuant to the original
lease that the tenant agreed upon with the prior owner, receipt of lease revenue obligates the owner
to pay possessory interest property taxes for the property. Thus, the City currently pays the
property's possessory interest property taxes, which amounts to $2,728 per year. Additionally, the
City pays management fees for the building, as well as some maintenance fees. The City also
includes the building in its insurance policy for City-owned buildings.

DATE OF THE APPRAISAL REPORT
The date of this appraisal report is September 10, 2015.
PROPERTY INTEREST BEING APPRAISED
This appraisal pertains to a valuation of the fee simple estate.
Fee Simple Estate is defined as:
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the
limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police
power, and escheat.3
SCOPE OF WORK
The appraisal report is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth in the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2014-2015 edition, and the
Code of Professional Ethics & Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal
Institute.
In preparing this appraisal, the appraiser:
• Conducted a customary investigation of the subject property site, the exterior and interior
of the improvements and the property's surrounding uses to determine its physical and
locational characteristics that are relevant to the valuation assignment.
• Reviewed the following information sources:
o Assessor's Map;
o Building Permit File;
o Flood Map Report;
o City of Palm Springs General Plan;
o City of Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance;
o Various on-line sources; and
o Market Area Demographics.
• Conducted a search within the subject property's general market area for comparable
properties that have recently sold, are under contract, or listed for sale.
• Confirmed all relevant comparable data as could reasonably be obtained.
• Investigated the subject property's market area characteristics and trends.
J Ibid.page 78.
3
The resulting data was then analyzed; conclusions were drawn; and utilizing appropriate
appraisal methods and techniques, a value opinion was formed. In the valuation of the subject
property, the sales comparison approach is the most relevant and was employed exclusively. The
cost and income capitalization approaches were omitted based on the opinion that any analysis
would provide little relevancy to the primary appraisal method utilized in valuing the subject
property.
This appraisal has been made with the following extraordinary assumptions and general
assumptions specific to the subject property:
1. No Environmental Site Assessment relating to the existence of hazardous substances or
detrimental environmental conditions, including without limitation polychlorinated
biphenyl, petroleum leakage, radon/methane/dioxide gases, asbestos, lead-based paint or
toxic mold infestation which may or may not be present on the property was provided for
review, nor was called to the attention of nor did the appraiser become aware of such
during the appraiser's investigation. The use of lead-based paint and asbestos-containing
materials were banned in 1978 and 1980, respectively. The subject property
improvements were built in 1935. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of
such materials on or in the property. The appraiser is not trained or experienced in the
special field of recognition, detection or measurement of such substances and is beyond
the scope of the appraiser's expertise. The presence of such hazardous substances or
detrimental environmental conditions may affect the value of the property. The value
opinion developed herein is predicated on the extraordinary assumption that no
such hazardous substances or detrimental environmental conditions exist on or in
the property or in such proximity thereto, which would cause a loss in value. No
responsibility is assumed for such hazardous substances or detrimental environmental
conditions, nor for any expertise or knowledge required to discover them. The Client is
urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
2. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. The
appraiser has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of the property to
determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the
ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property together with a detailed
analysis of the requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in
compliance with one or more of the requirements of the act. If so, this fact could have a
negative effect upon the market value of the property. The value opinion developed
herein is predicated on the extraordinary assumption that readily achievable
barrier removals do not exist.
3. The appraiser has personally investigated the subject property, and except as noted in this
report, finds no obvious evidence of structural deficiencies in any improvements located
on the subject property. However, the appraiser assumes no responsibility for hidden
defects or non-conformity with specific governmental requirements, such as fire, building
and safety, earthquake or occupancy codes, unless inspections by qualified independent
professionals or governmental agencies were provided to the appraiser. Further, the
4
appraiser is not a licensed engineer or architect and assumes no responsibility for
structural deficiencies not apparent to the appraiser at the time of his inspection.
4. Unless otherwise specifically noted in this report, it is assumed that the roof and exterior
are in good condition and free from intrusion by the elements. The appraiser is not an
engineer and is not competent to judge matters of an engineering nature and, therefore,
makes no representations relative to the condition of improvements. The appraiser
inspected less than 100% of the entire interior and exterior portions of the improvements;
no problems were brought to the attention of the appraiser by ownership or management;
and the appraiser was not furnished any engineering studies by the owners or by the party
requesting this appraisal. If questions in these areas are critical to the decision process of
the reader, the advice of competent engineering consultants should be obtained and relied
upon. It is specifically assumed that any knowledgeable and prudent purchaser would, as
a precondition to closing a sale, obtain a satisfactory engineering report relative to the
structural integrity of the property and the integrity of building systems. If engineering
consultants retained should report negative factors, of a material nature, or if such are
later discovered, relative to the condition of improvements, such information could have
a substantial negative impact on the conclusions reported in this appraisal. Accordingly,
if negative findings are reported by engineering consultants, the appraiser reserves the
right to amend the appraisal conclusions reported herein.
5. Building area calculations in this report were prepared by the appraiser and are
approximations which may vary from those by another appraiser, architect or engineer.
The calculations are considered to be reasonably accurate and within the standards of
acceptable appraisal practice. The client should not rely on these calculations in any
context other than as approximations. If more precise area calculations are desired, it is
the responsibility of the client to engage the services of an architect or civil engineer.
6. No Preliminary Report was provided for review. The appraiser assumes no responsibility

MARKET AREA DESCRIPTION
Subject Property Location
The subject property is located in the City of Palm Springs, situated in the northwest corner of
Riverside County and within the easterly — Coachella Valley — area of the Inland Empire.
Riverside County together with San Bernardino County to the north — encompassing the
Riverside-San Bemardino-Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area — comprise the Inland Empire
market area.
Inland Empire Economic Overview
The Inland Empire—prior to the Great Recession— was one of the most robust economies in the
United States and was rated in the top tier for various measures of growth from population and
job creation to construction and office space absorption over the last decade. As a result of
increasing real estate pricing in neighboring Los Angeles County and Orange County, the Inland
Empire grew at a rapid pace due to migration from the Los Angeles Basin, as well as internal
growth.
The Inland Empire has a diverse economic base (based on the concept of"export"of goods or
services). Leading industries by rank are tourism; health services/bio-medicine; wholesale trade
& logistics; financial services; and business & professional services. The Inland Empire is also a
growing manufacturing center. The largest manufacturing components are fabricated metals
products; the textile mills & apparel; transportation equipment; plastics & rubber; and food,
beverages and tobacco products. The Inland Empire's economy also has an international trade
aspect, in that it is a major transportation hub for both rail and truck service, has the Ontario
International Airport (a UPS hub, both small packages and air freight, and for Asian service), and
is a major distribution center for firms moving goods through Southern California's ports to the
rest of the U.S.
According to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) 2015-
2016 Economic Forecast & Industry Outlook—February 2015,job growth in the Inland Empire
outpaced the state and the rest of Southern California for the third year in a row in 2014. The
Inland Empire suffered a more severe blow during the Great Recession and took longer to turn
around so this is a welcome development. Job gains have reduced the unemployment rate and
have contributed to rising personal income, which has supported growth in a number of
consumer-driven industries.
Wage and salary (nonfarm)jobs in the Inland Empire grew at a rate of 2.6% in 2014, outpacing
the state's 2.2% growth rate during the same year. With 1.26 million jobs in 2014, the region is
still shy of the prerecession annual peak of 1.29 million jobs from 2007. It should surpass that
threshold in 2015, more than five years after the technical end of the recession.
The unemployment rate in 2014 fell to 8.5%, down from 10.2% a year earlier, and down
significantly from the recession-era peak of 14.3% in 2010. Job creation accounted for most of
15
the decline in the unemployment rate, while the labor force increased marginally(0.2%) from
2013 to 2014.
Most of the job gains in the Inland Empire last year were in a handful of industries. One out of
every five jobs created in 2014 was in the health care and social assistance sector. The bulk of
the remaining job gains were concentrated in leisure and hospitality, administrative, support and
waste services, retail trade, and transportation, warehousing and utilities. Noteworthy increases
also occurred in construction and government, the latter finally recovering from the job cuts that
were exacted in the wake of the recession when government coffers were severely depleted.
While consumer-serving industries such as leisure and hospitality, and retail trade have seen
large gains in absolute terms, other business-serving industries (transportation and warehousing,
wholesale trade, professional, scientific and technical services) have also added jobs.
Meanwhile, nondurable goods manufacturing, financial services, management of companies and
enterprises, and other(personal) services lost jobs over the course of the year.
Trends In Major Industries
Goods Movement: The goods movement industry includes transportation and warehousing
along with wholesaling. The industry employed nearly 140,000 workers in the Inland Empire in
2014, which accounted for just over 11% of total nonfarm employment. Transportation and
warehousing employment increased by 4.6% (or 3,600 jobs) over the year in 2014 to 82,200
jobs. Wholesale trade added 1,700 jobs (up by 3.0%) over the same period, with employment
averaging 57,700 jobs in 2014.
The region's goods movement industry has benefited from increased activity at the Ports of Los
Angeles and Long Beach during the last two years resulting from the pickup in U.S. economic
growth. The number of containers passing through the twin ports was stuck at roughly 14
million from 2010 through 2012, but jumped by 3.4% to 14.6 million in 2013, and by 3.8% to
15.2 million in 2014, in spite of ongoing labor disputes and port congestion. Given the economic
fundamentals of the U.S. and its trading partners, container activity has the potential to achieve a
new record high in 2015. Such an outcome depends on timely resolution to the pending labor
negotiations and clearing the current backlog of vessels and containers as quickly as possible.
Real Estate: Like so much of the region and the U.S., the housing sector in the Inland Empire
turned in an uneven performance in 2014. The median price of a home in Riverside County rose
to levels not seen since early 2008, with a 2014 median of$293,000. San Bernardino's median
price has also been on the rise, increasing to $239,000 in 2014, roughly on par with home prices
during the middle of 2008. After posting double digit price increases through most of 2014,
median price appreciation slowed to single digits towards the end of 2014, long after the other
counties of Southern California experienced a similar slowdown.
Rising prices were partly attributable to the limited supply of homes for sale, which in turn
resulted in an 8.1% year-to-year decline in sales in 2014. The unsold inventory(supply) of
existing homes in Riverside County was just 4.7 months in December while the figure for San
Bernardino was 4.4 months. Both readings are less than a month higher than a year ago and
inventory levels continue to be somewhat below long-run average levels. On the supply side,
16
low inventories have constrained sales, while demand has been hindered by declining
affordability and tighter-than-normal underwriting standards.
New home construction responded to tight market conditions and higher home prices in 2013
with a 57% increase in new residential permits issued. Uncertainty about the future direction of
the market cooled homebuilding activity in 2014—new home permits increased by just 2.6%.
Pent-up demand is expected to speed up the housing market over the next two years; permits
should advance more quickly, with a jump of 33% expected in 2015 followed by a gain of 23.3%
in 2016. Even with these large percentage gains, permit levels during the next two to three years
will remain well below peak levels of the last decade. About two out of three homes built in
2014 were single-family homes, a pattern that should continue into 2015 with the share of single-
family homes rising to 75% in 2016.
The Inland Empire housing market will continue to register gains in 2015. The supply of new
and existing homes for sale should increase in response to stronger demand as population grows
and as the financial condition of households in the region improves. In turn, both higher prices
and sales are expected.
Looking Ahead
While job growth in 2014 did not match the 4.0% growth rate of the previous year, the 2.6%
increase was still among the fastest in the state. Jobs should grow by 2.8% in 2015 and 2.5% in
2016, with annual wage and salary employment expected to hit a new high. Over the next two
years, nearly all industries will add jobs, with the largest increases expected in health care and
construction (one out of every three jobs), followed by leisure and hospitality, administrative,
support and waste services, and retail trade. Transportation, warehousing and utilities will
continue to grow, while, while construction jobs will accelerate in response to an uptick in new
residential and nonresidential building across the region. Job losses will continue in financial
and other services.
As the Inland Empire's industries grow over this year and next, the unemployment rate will fall
from 8.5% in 2014 to 7.6% this year and 7.1% in 2016, below the 8.8% average since 2002. As
the economy moves forward, and population growth accelerates, personal income will grow by
5.0% in 2015 and 5.8% in 2016, and give rise to further gains in taxable sales and continued job
growth in population-serving industries.
Coachella Valley Overview
Location
Coachella Valley comprises the easterly fringe of the Inland Empire region, located in the low-
desert area surrounded by the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and Little San Bernardino Mountains.
The location is approximately 50 miles east of the City of Riverside, 100 miles east of Orange
County, 120 miles east of Los Angeles and 150 miles northwest of San Diego.
17
Access
Primary access to Coachella Valley is provided by the east-west Interstate 10, traversing and/or
bordering portions of the cities and communities. Secondary access is provided by State
Highways 62, 74, 86 and 111. Air transportation is provided by the Palm Springs International
Airport.
Population
Coachella Valley contains nine incorporated cities: Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot
Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage.
Unincorporated communities include Bermuda Dunes, North Palm Springs, Sun City Palm
Desert and Thousand Palms. According to the Census 2010, the Coachella Valley incorporated
cities contained a population of 344,408. As of January 1, 2015, the Coachella Valley
incorporated cities contained a population of 369,596, an increase over the Census 2010 of
25,188 (7.3%) new residents. Being a resort destination, the population swells by 50% plus in
peak season.
Economic Profile
The Coachella Valley region is characterized as a destination for national tourism, conventions
and off-season living, as well as its potential as a home to aging baby boomers looking to retire
in a recreational mecca, plus its agricultural production and medical care. On a long term
competitive basis, the Coachella Valley is helped by its low water and natural gas prices and
industrial lease rates. It ranks in the middle among key western non-California cities on average
labor costs, office lease rates and housing costs (especially in areas where most workers live). Its
labor force quality is not good and its competitiveness is badly hurt by the regulatory, tax and
electrical rate environment created by California policies and laws.
With 124 golf courses, the Coachella Valley is known as the "golf capital of the world." Other
cultural and sports events offered include the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Kraft
Nabisco Championship (LPGA) and Humana Challenge (PGA) golf tournaments, BNP Paribas
Open (ATP and WTA) tennis tournament, and two —weekend music juggernauts known as the
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival. As the flow of the tourist-
oriented people and seasonal second homeowners to the Coachella Valley is heavily dependent
upon U.S. discretionary income, the Coachella Valley's economy has tended to have an
exaggerated business cycle: soaring in good times and plunging in bad times.
The region has grown up as an important Southern California and national retirement center. As
a result, an important portion of its economy is devoted to providing services to an aging
population. This is seen in its health care industry as well as its retail, restaurant and
entertainment (includes golf course and tennis clubs) sectors. An economy that evolves based
upon providing services to tourists, conventions, seasonal second homeowners and a growing
base of retirees is one in which a significant share of the job base is in retailing, consumer
services, hotels, amusement and construction. The skills required to work in these sectors often
18
do not require well-educated workers. The major exception to this fact is the Valley's large
health care sector.
The Great Recession has taken its toll on the Coachella Valley region economy. The Coachella
Valley's economic base is largely driven by money coming to the area through five sectors. A
strong housing sector was the newest ingredient in the region's economy from 2000-2007,
however was severely impacted starting in 2008 due to the Great Recession. Tourism has been a
major staple of the region, and like the housing sector, was also heavily impacted by the
recession. The medical care sector has continued to increase. The agricultural sector has
generally fluctuated. Retail sales contribute to the Coachella Valley's economic base in that a
significant source of the spending is from money brought to the area by tourists and convention
goers. This sector experienced strong growth from 2001-2008, and like the other economic
sectors, was severely impacted by the recession. The Coachella Valley's economy peaked in
2004, but hit bottom in mid-2009. The region started to see some improvement beginning in
2012.
According to John Husing, an economist who specifically studies the Inland Empire and the
Coachella Valley, at the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership annual event on October 30,
2014, the Coachella Valley sits on the brink of full recovery and is expected to regain the jobs
lost in the recession by next year. During the recession, the Valley lost 19,200 jobs over the five
years after 2007. Husing estimates that by the end of this year, the desert will have regained
14,600 of those jobs, leaving a shortage of 4,600 positions. Overall, Husing presented an
optimistic outlook. The desert has an unemployment rate of 8.5%, lower than 9.2% rate in the
county. Tourism continues to drive the desert economy, with record average hotel room rates
and increasing hotel occupancies. Husing's outlook for the Valley mirrors the economic trend
across Southern California.
According to CoreLogic DataQuick, the median price for a home in Coachella Valley crept up to
$300,000 in April 2015, and inventory dropped for the fourth consecutive month. Over the last
12 months, homes have fetched a median price of$287,375. New construction homes fetched a
median price of$333,500 in April 2015, one of their lowest levels in the last year. But prices for
resale homes diminished to a median of$320,000, among the highest in the last 12 months.
In conclusion, as Southern California and the Inland Empire's economy recovers from the Great
Recession, the Coachella Valley's economy will recover, albeit at a slower or lagging pace due
to its more outlying/easterly fringe location.
City of Palm Springs Overview
Location
Palm Springs—encompassing 94.975 square miles—is located at the westerly end of the
Coachella Valley at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. The city is bordered to the north and
south by unincorporated territory; to the east by Cathedral City and Rancho Mirage; and to the
west by unincorporated territory and San Jacinto Wilderness area.
19
Access
Primary access is provided by Interstate 10 east-bound (bordering and traversing the northerly
portion of Palm Springs) and Palm Canyon Drive(SR-11) from Interstate 10, and Highway I I I
west-bound. Several primary arterials provide secondary access.
Population
Palm Springs—incorporated in 1938 —ranks as the fourth most populous city of Coachella
Valley's nine incorporated cities. From 2000-2014, Palm Springs population increased from
42,805 to 46,135, a gain of 3,330 people(7.8%) in 14 years. This is the second lowest gain in
new residents among the Coachella Valley's nine cities. According to the Census 2010, the city
contained a population 44,385. As of January 1, 2015, the city contained a population of 46,611,
an increase over the Census 2010 of 2,226 (5.0%) new residents.
Economic Profile
Palm Springs is characterized as a mature community that has evolved from a getaway for
Hollywood people since the 1930s to a resort and recreation community attracting tourists from
around the globe. The city's economy is tourist-driven and contains more than 40% of all hotel
rooms in the Coachella Valley. Leading employment industries are retail (24.0%), health
(17.7%), hotel/amusement (13.5%), small sectors (13.1%), other services (10.6%), distribution
(7.5%), education (5.8%), construction (4.0%) and business services (3.8%).
Since 2000, Palm Springs' economy has gone through four periods. In the 2001-2003 period
impacted by the dot.com recession, the city's job growth roughly matched the pace of the
surrounding Inland Empire. As the housing boom heated up from 2004-2007, its employment
expansion lagged behind the wider region, perhaps because a lack of developable land. As the
recession began, Palm Springs added jobs faster than the region in 2007 (2.2% v. 0.2%) and
shrank less in 2008 (41% v. -3.6%). This reversed itself in 2009 when the job loss was -0.9%
versus -6.8% for the region and again in 2010 (-3.3% v. -0.8%). In the nascent recovery period,
the city added 1.4% to its jobs base in 2011 versus the region's 0.4%. This occurred again in
2012 with the city's employment up 2.8% compared to the region's 2.0%.
Palm Springs unemployment rate was 5.1% in April 2015, down from 6.4% in April 2014.
Median home price was $352,500 in April 2015, up 13.7% from $310,000 in April 2014.
The City of Palm Springs is currently undergoing a downtown revitalization plan that includes a
host of innovative community and economic development projects, incentive programs, multi-
million dollar hotel renovations and original special events and tourist attractions. The major
revitalization project in process is the redevelopment of the former Desert Fashion Plaza, an
obsolete 300,000 square foot enclosed shopping center situated on a 13-acre site. The proposed
Museum Market Plaza is currently under construction and comprises a mixed-use development
to contain a 190-room, four-star, Palomar Hotel by Kimpton Hotels and restaurants, multiplex
movie theater and more than 250,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.
20
Conclusion
Overall, the long-term outlook for Palm Springs is positive, subject to continued economic
recovery.

ANALYSIS OF DATA AND CONCLUSIONS
30
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
The concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based.
Highest and Best Use is defined as:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the
highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal
permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum profitability.4
This definition is applied specifically to the highest and best use of land. It is recognized that in
cases where a site has existing improvements, the concluded highest and best use as if vacant
may be different from the highest and best use given the existing improvements (as improved).
The existing use will continue, however, until the land value, in its highest and best use, exceeds
that total value of the property under its existing use plus the cost of removing or altering the
existing structure.
Implied in this definition is a recognition of the contribution of a specific use to the community
environment or to the community's development goals, in addition to wealth maximization of
individual property owners. Also implied is that the conclusion of highest and best use results
from the appraiser's judgment and analytical skill, i.e., that the use determined from the analysis
represents an opinion, not a fact to be found.
Highest and Best Use Analysis involves the subject property according to the following four
criteria.
Legally Permissible: This criterion relates to the legality of an intended use. A
community's development policies or environmental goals may encourage certain uses
and preclude others. Other factors impacting a site's legal permissibility include private
restrictions, state and national regulations, and other factors.
Physically Possible: This second criterion pertains to physical characteristics impacting
the development potential of the site such as size, shape, topography, availability of
utilities and soil conditions. The lack of impairment of any of these factors may make
certain types of development impossible or impractical.
Financially Feasible: This factor pertains to the notion of economic viability, i.e., is the
use profitable? To answer this question, it is usually necessary to present an analysis of
the market for the intended use.
Maximally Productive: The fourth test is to access whether a proposed or existing use
produces the greatest net return to the land.
"Ibid.page 93.
31
The highest and best use analysis of the subject property is not intended to be an exhaustive
analysis of every possible use. Rather, it is intended to provide adequate analysis of the most
likely and/or the most reasonable alternative use.
The following highest and best use analysis addresses both issues of"as though vacant" and "as
improved."
Highest and Best Use "As Though Vacant"
The C-13-1) zone permits a broad range of commercial uses. In respect to the current property
development standards, the subject's small lot area and dimensions represent a non-conforming
lot. Considering the subject property's site-specific location characteristics; the site's physical
characteristics; no apparent or known adverse site conditions; and surrounding uses, the most
probable legally permitted use would be for a retail use subject to meeting the off-street parking
requirements. In consideration of the recent acquisition of the land assemblage surrounding the
subject lot for redevelopment of a boutique hotel, the most probable use would be for assemblage
with the adjacent properties and incorporated into the proposed redevelopment project.
Highest and Best Use "As Improved"
The subject property comprises a 2,094 square foot lot improved with a 1935-built storefront
retail building containing a gross building area totaling 1,590 square feet. Site coverage is 76%.
The existing use represents a legal "grandfathered" conforming use. The physical characteristics
of the site are suitable to support the existing use. The property is currently tenant-occupied on
terms of month-to-month. The most probable buyer would be the adjacent property owner for
inclusion into the land assemblage for redevelopment, subject to approval from the historic site
preservation board relating to its historic site designation.
APPROACH TO VALUE
Referencing the Scope of Work, the valuation method is limited to only the sales comparison
approach.
The comparison analysis provided in the following approach to value is not intended to be an
accurate, scientific process that exactly identifies and quantifies the value attributes of the
comparable data and the subject property, but rather they reflect opinions and speculations
regarding what I believe to be reasonable explanations for the comparable price variations.
Collectively, the comparisons allow the reader to ascertain the appropriateness and logic of the
comparisons leading to a reasonable and supported value opinion.
32
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
In the sales comparison approach, an opinion of market value is developed by comparing
properties similar to the subject property that have recently sold, are under contract, or listed for
sale. A major premise of the sales comparison approach is that an opinion of the market value of
a property can be supported by studying the market's reaction to comparable and competitive
properties.
A search was conducted within the subject property's general market area for comparable
properties that have recently sold, are under contract, or listed for sale. Several properties were
investigated of which four sales were determined to be most relevant and appropriate in
developing a value opinion. These sales are summarized following with accompanying location
map and photographs.

Comparable Sale Properties Analysis
In developing an opinion of market value for the subject property, the comparative analysis of
the data focuses on the similarities and differences that affect value which include real property
rights conveyed, financing terms, conditions of sale, expenditures made immediately after
purchase, market conditions, location, physical characteristics, economic characteristics, use of
the property and non-realty components of value. Elements of comparison are tested against
market evidence to estimate which elements are sensitive to change and how they affect value.
The common market unit of comparison is price per square foot of gross building area.
The comparable sales provide unadjusted prices ranging from $170.16 to $247.17 per square foot
of gross building area. Following is an analysis of the sales.
Real Property Rights Conveyed: Sale Nos. 1-3 involve the conveyance of a leased fee interest.
Sale No. 1 was purchased for redevelopment. Sale Nos. 2 and 3 involve investor acquisitions at
or near market rent. Sale No. 4 involves the conveyance of a fee simple estate. No adjustment is
required.
Financing Terms: All of the sales involve tenns of cash to seller and no adjustment is required.
Conditions of Sale: All of the sales were reported to represent arm's-length transactions and no
adjustment is required.
Expenditures Made Immediately After Purchase: None of the sales involve known
expenditures immediately after purchase that would require adjustment.
Market Conditions: Recording dates range from September 2013 to August 2015, i.e., past 24
month period from the effective date of the appraisal—a period of similar market conditions and
no significant adjustment is required.
Location: Sale No. 1 is located adjacent south of the subject property and involves a street-to-
street site having frontage on North Palm Canyon Drive, same as the subject property, and
extending east having frontage on North Indian Canyon Drive, a less desirable location requiring
an upward adjustment. Sale No. 2 is located approximately three blocks south within the
Historic Village Center district and pertains to a signalized corner site fronting North Palm
Canyon Drive, a more desirable location requiring a downward adjustment. Sale No. 3 is located
in South Palm Springs and pertains to an interior site fronting East Palm Canyon Drive, a less
desirable location requiring an upward adjustment. Sale No. 4 is located in Palm Desert and
pertains to an interior site fronting an access street paralleling Highway 111, a less desirable
location requiring an upward adjustment.
Physical Characteristics: This category addresses year built/condition, building size and land
area.
37
Year Built/Condition: The sales year built ranges from 1950 to the 1960s. Sale Nos. 1 and 4
reflect similar condition and no adjustment is required. Sale Nos. 2 and 3 reflect superior
condition and tenant appeal requiring a downward adjustment.
Building Size: The building size ranges from 2,145 to 9,700 square feet. Sale No. 1 having the
largest building area contains two buildings having 2,100 and 7,600 square feet. Overall, no
significant adjustment for building size is considered.
Land Area: Land area ranges from 4,866 to 21,288 square feet, all larger than the subject site
containing 2,094 square feet. Considering site utility, no significant adjustment is considered.
Economic Characteristics: All of the sales have similar economic characteristics and no
adjustment is required.
Use of the Property: All of the sales involve a similar use and no adjustment is required.
Non-Realty Components: No non-realty components are included in the valuation of the
subject property and none are included in the comparable sales.
Based on the preceding analysis, an adjustment grid is provided following.

Value Conclusion
After adjustment, the comparable sales provide value indicators ranging from $212.70 to
$232.21 per square foot. Indicated mean and median are $220.71 and $218.96 per square foot,
respectively.
Based upon the analysis undertaken, reasonably considering the varying attributes that influence
the range in prices in comparison with the subject property, it is my opinion that the subject
property's as is market value is $220.00 per square foot.
Gross Building Area: 1,590 SF @ $220.00 = $349,800
Concluded As Is Market Value
by the Sales Comparison Approach: 35�0 000
FINAL VALUE CONCLUSION
As a result of my analysis, I have formed an opinion that the as is market value of the fee simple
estate in the subject property, subject to the definitions, extraordinary assumptions, general
assumptions and limiting conditions, and certification set forth in the report, as of September 4,
2015, was:
Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
