P. The West Creek Village Project is a vital tool for implementing the objectives and policies of the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan, adopted by Council on October 26, 2017. Specifically, it directly implements Policy LU-1. 1 which calls for the establishment of a magnet core at the West Creek Village Project Site designed to attract a significant amount of new development. It implements Goal LU-5 which calls for a diverse range of housing types in Southwest Fresno, preserving Southwest Fresno's character as a primarily single-family residential community while providing higher-density housing in high activity areas. Through the commercial .portions of the West Creek Village Project, it implements Policy LU-6. 1 which calls for encouragement of larger regional retail development at key locations, including the West Creek Village Project Site. Through the inclusion of the Park Amenity, it directly implements Goal PF-2 of increasing the overall amount of usable parkland within Southwest Fresno by adding a new park over 11 gross acres. It directly implements Policy PF-6. 3 by facilitating a new community college campus within the West Creek Village Project Area. By implementing these vital goals and policies in the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan, the West Creek Village Project provides substantial benefit to the City and its residents.
Q. Master Developer filed the DA Application for approval of this Agreement in order to: (1) vest the land use and zoning policies established in the Existing City Requirements (as hereinafter defined) as of the Adoption Date (as hereinafter defined) 3 of this Agreement for the duration of the Term (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the West Creek Village Project; and, (2) memorialize certain other agreements made between the City and Master Developer with respect to the West Creek Village Project Area.

Section 5.2 Exactions (Including Off-Site Improvements). (a) Parcel Map Exactions. All of the Exactions that Master Developer shall be required to perform or cause to be performed in connection with the development, construction, use and occupancy of the Master Developer's Property pursuant to the requirements of the Amended Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM-17-06, during the term of the Agreement (collectively, the Parcel Map Exactions), and the timing requirements for the performance of such Parcel Map Exactions, are set forth in the Conditions of Approval adopted by the City Council on August 24, 2017 with respect to 2017 Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-06, subject to the updated Fire Impact Fees set forth in Council Resolution No. 2019-125 made applicable by the findings set forth in Council Resolution 2019-126.

(c) Off-Site Acquisition. City acknowledges and agrees in the event the performance by Master Developer of any off-site improvements listed as a Parcel Map Exactions or a Required Other Exaction (collectively, the Off-Site Improvements) requires construction or installation on land in which neither the City or Master Developer has sufficient legal title or interest to allow such construction or installation to be performed, then: (a) City shall acquire the necessary Required ROW (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection of this Agreement at the sole cost of Master Developer and, upon such acquisition, the City shall make such Required ROW available to Master Developer for the construction and installation of such Off-Site Improvements; and, (b) provided that Master Developer performs its obligations under this Subsection, Master Developer shall not be required to construct or install such Off-Site Improvements until: (i) City acquires title or interest in such Required ROW sufficient to allow such construction or installation to be performed, and, (ii) City promptly makes such Required ROW available to Master Developer for the construction and improvement of such Off-Site Improvements. The City shall neither postpone nor refuse approval of a Final Map, nor of any City Permits, because Master Developer has failed to construct or install any or all of the Off-Site Improvements if neither Master Developer nor City has sufficient title or interest in the Required ROW to permit such OffSite Improvements to be constructed or installed so long as Master Developer has provided the improvement security required by the Subdivision Agreement for the such Final Map or, with regard to other City permits has otherwise provided appropriate improvement Security, as determined by the City Engineer, to ensure improvements are constructed once the right-of-way is acquired. The term Required ROW means all land that: (i) is not owned by the City, any City Agency or Master Developer as of the Adoption Date of this Agreement; and, (ii) is necessary for the construction or installation of any Off-Site Improvements pursuant to this Agreement. Required ROW may take the form of easement areas, rights-of-way and other land interests. (d) Construction Standards. All Off-Site Improvements shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the Applicable Rules (subject to any Permitted Rules Revisions). Engineered improvement plans for street improvements, signing, striping, traffic signals, storm drains, sewer and water facilities shall be prepared by a Registered Civil Engineer. Street lighting and traffic signal plans may alternatively be prepared by a Registered Electrical Engineer. Landscaping, planting and irrigation 16 plans for areas within the public right-of-way shall be prepared by a Registered Civil Engineer or Licensed Landscape Architect. Plans shall be submitted for Department of Public Works and Department of Public Utilities review and approval. The Master Developer shall pay all plan check and inspection fees in accordance with the City of Fresno Master Fee Schedule at the time of plan submittal. (e) Prevailing Wages. Master Developer shall: (a) be required to pay, and shall cause its contractor and subcontractors to pay, prevailing wages for the construction of those works that are public works under California Labor Code Section 1720(a) (unless exempted pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1720(c)) (collectively, the PW Improvements); and, (b) comply with the other applicable provisions of Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and implementing regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations. Master Developer shall or shall cause its contractor and subcontractors to keep and retain such records as are necessary to determine that prevailing wages have been paid as required by law. During the construction of the Public Work Improvements, Master Developer shall, or shall cause its contractor to, post at the Master Developer's Property the applicable prevailing rates of per diem wages.
Master Developer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City) the City against any claim for damages, compensation, fines, penalties or other amounts arising out of the failure or alleged failure of any person or entity (including Master Developer, its contractors and subcontractors) to pay prevailing wages as required by law or to comply with the other applicable provisions of Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and the implementing regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations in connection with construction of the PW Improvements. Master Developer shall also indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City) the City against any claim brought pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1781 for work related to the development of Master Developer's property under this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the City is making no representation that development of Master Developer's Property is not a public work subject to prevailing wage and that no City employee or representative is authorized to make such a representation.
(f) Transfer of Off-Site Improvements. Upon completion by Master Developer of any Off-Site Improvements not to be constructed by the City pursuant to ARTICLE 6, and upon City's acceptance of the work performed, the Off-Site Improvements shall be conveyed and transferred by Master Developer to the City, and the City shall accept the Off-Site Improvements and thereafter assume responsibility for the ownership, operation, repair and maintenance thereof.
Section 5.3 City Development Fees.
(a) In General. Development of the Master Developer's Property shall qualify for the incentives provided by the Southwest Revitalization Incentive Program, as adopted by the City on March 21, 2019. The parties acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the Southwest Revitalization Incentive Program, not less than the following reductions in the City Development Impact Fees shall be provided. In addition, the parties acknowledge that the reductions provided by this Section shall not limit or 17 constrain the ability for Master Developer, or other developers, to apply for and obtain additional reductions for other discrete development projects conducted on the Master Developer's Property. In addition, notwithstanding the below stated minimum reductions, if the time that the Required Development Fee is required to be paid by Developer the amount then charged by the City or the applicable City Agency for the Required Development Impact Fee is less than the amount determined below, the lesser amount shall be charged.

With the exception of the Fire Impact Fee, as set forth at the end of this paragraph, any City Development Impact Fees or other Exactions not specifically stated above, shall be the lesser of: (i) the City Development Impact Fees then charged when the application for the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-06 was determined to be complete pursuant to Government Code Section 65349, which the Parties agree was August 24, 20 2017 (plus the annual adjustments permitted by Resolution No. 2017-99); or, (ii) the amount then charged by the City or the applicable City Agency for the City Development Impact Fees at the time that the Required Development Fee is required to be paid by Developer. Notwithstanding the above, Master Developer shall pay the updated Fire Impact Fees set forth in Council Resolution No. 2019-125 made applicable by the findings set forth in Council Resolution 2019-126
For convenience of reference, the City Development Fees rate on August 24, 2017, as well as the timing of payment, are listed on Exhibit E to this Agreement. Resolution No. 2017-99 provides that City Development Impact Fees are subject to annual adjustment every July 1, beginning July 1, 2019, based on the 20-City Construction Cost Index as reported in the Engineering News Record for the 12-month period ending in May of the year of adjustment
(b) Limitation on Additional City Development Impact Fees. Except for the City Development Impact Fees described in subsection (a) above, no City Development Impact Fees shall be imposed by the City or any City Agency during the Term of this Agreement in connection with: (i) the development, construction, use or occupancy of the Master Developer's Property; or, (ii) any application filed for any City Permit for the development, construction, use or occupancy of the Master Developer's Property. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Future Discretionary Approval provides for uses, densities, or development patterns not contemplated by this Agreement or the West Creek Village Master Plan that will generate the need for additional City Development Impact Fees to defray, offset, or otherwise cover the cost of public services, improvements, or facilities, such additional City Development Impact Fees shall be imposed consistent with the Existing City Requirements in place at the time of application.
(c) Community Facilities District for Funding Services. Master Developer covenants and agrees that, as a condition to the issuance of an Occupancy permit for the development of a relevant portion of the Master Developer's Property, Master Developer shall have coordinated to assure either of the following: (i) The West Creek Village shall be annexed into Community Facilities District No. 9 for multi-family and commercial uses, and Community Facilities Districts No. 11 for single family residential uses (collectively "CFO Annexations"). The CFO Annexations shall be for the continued maintenance of the Park Amenity and may be utilized for additional landscape maintenance on public property within the Master Developer's Property. The City and Master Developer agree to consider the feasibility of the Master Developer or its assignee maintaining the CFO area through a CFO Maintenance Agreement; or, (ii) the Master Developer shall establish a stand-alone Community Facilities District, whose improvements may be maintained pursuant to service agreements arranged by the Master Developer, and which shall be guaranteed by service maintenance agreements.
It is further the intent that any stand-alone CFO Community Facilities District that is formed may, at the election of Master Developer, provide for enhanced security and enhanced program activities, to benefit the Park Amenity. 21 (d) Non-City Fees. Notwithstanding the prov1s1ons of Section 5.3(a}, Master Developer shall be responsible for paying: (a) any fees Master Developer is obligated to directly pay to any Federal, State, County or local agency (other than any City Agency) under applicable Federal, State, County or local law; and, (b) any fees the City is legally required to collect for other State or Federal agencies pursuant to: (i) State or Federal law or (ii) any City agreement or City ordinance the City is legally mandated or required to adopt or enter into to comply with State or Federal law or a judgment of a court of law, but only to the extent necessary to satisfy such compliance. (e) Quimby Act Requirements. The Parties agree that the Master Developer shall have no obligation for the dedication of land to comply with any requirements of Fresno Municipal Code Section 14-4.705 or Fresno Municipal Code Section 15-3701. Master Developer shall nevertheless remain obligated to pay the Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fee described in Fresno Municipal Code Section 14-4.705 or Fresno Municipal Code Section 15-3701 for development of the West Creek Village Project, subject, however, to the reduction in such fees provided by the Southwest Revitalization Incentive Program described in Section 5.3(a) above. In addition, the parties agree that the Park Amenity acreage constitutes land dedicated for park or recreational purposes pursuant to the dedication requirements set forth in FMC 15-3701- J. Therefore, in determining the amount of any Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fees, Master Developer shall be given a credit against any liability for payment of Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fees based on the value of the Park Amenity dedicated by the Master Developer to the City (the "Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits"}, determined in accordance with the following: one-half of the product of the gross acreage of the Park Amenity multiplied by the per acre value of the gross acres of the Park Amenity determined by the appraisal described in Section 6.1 (a) below. Master Developer may assign rights to use of the Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2 below.
Section 5.4 City Application Fees. Master Developer shall pay to the City the City Application Fees chargeable in accordance with the City's Master Fee Schedule that is in effect at the time the relevant application for a City Permit is made; provided such City Application Fees are uniformly imposed by the City and any City Agency at similar stages of project development on all similar applications for development in the City.
Section 5.5 City Preparation Costs. Master Developer has paid the City the sum of $26,530.00 which amount the City has determined to be the reasonable costs to be incurred by the City to negotiate, prepare and execute this Agreement (collectively, the City Preparation Costs). The Master Developer's liability for the city Preparation Costs is capped at the sum of $26,530.00, and the City shall reimburse Master Developer for any unused portion of the previously paid City Preparation Costs (which such unused portion based upon actually consumed staff time and City Attorney time, based upon reasonable imputed hourly rates).
Section 5.6 No Impact on City Obligations. The foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 5 shall not be interpreted in a manner to diminish or otherwise affect the obligations of the City to construct Off-Site Improvements established in ARTICLE 6. 22 Section 5. 7 Phasing. Development of the Master Developer Property will include four general components (each a Phase). Notwithstanding such presently intended Phases, any development required or permitted to be conducted by Master Developer detailed below may be conducted in any order of priority, and one or more of such Phases may be developed concurrently with any other Phase (or portion of any Phase):
Phase I: Church Avenue Commercial Site: Development of the Church Avenue Commercial Site.
Phase II Residential Development: Development of the portions of the West Creek Village Residential Property located to the east of the Park Amenity Site and south or west of the Church Avenue Commercial Site (as delineated on the West Creek Village Master Plan).
Phase Ill Jensen Avenue Commercial Site: Development of the Jensen Avenue Commercial site.
Phase IV Residential Development. Development of the portions of the West Creek Village Residential Property located to north of the Elementary School site.
ARTICLE 6.
ACTIONS BY CITY
Section 6.1 Park Amenity
(a) Acquisition of the Park Amenity Site. The City shall acquire from Master Developer, and Master Developer shall sell to City, the Park Amenity Site, subject to availability of the TCC Project Funds allocated for the Park Amenity. The entirety of the Park Amenity Site is 10.00 gross acres. The City shall purchase the Park Amenity Site acreage, and Master Developer agrees to accept a cash payment for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00}, which amount reflects one-half of the value of such acreage established by the Appraisal Report prepared by a California certified general appraiser attached hereto as Exhibit "G". Master Developer further agrees to accept Parkland In-Lieu Fee Credits for the remaining value of the acreage, in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). City's acquisition of the Park Amenity Site is further subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) The City and Master Developer shall confirm in writing their joint approval of the size and configuration of the Park Amenity Site; (ii) the City shall be in receipt of sufficient TCC Project Funds, or other grant funds sufficient to fund the purchase price of the Park Amenity Site; and, (iii) the City and the Master Developer shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement, consistent with the above terms, and other commercially standard terms, providing for the sale of the Park Amenity Site, free from any consensual monetary encumbrances, pursuant to an escrow established with Fidelity Title Insurance Company as the Escrow Holder, and subject to such other terms and conditions as reasonably required by the Escrow Holder. In addition, the parties acknowledge that a 1.75 acre portion of the Park and Recreation zoned lands within the Master Developer Property is not a part of the Park Amenity Site 23 being sold to the City. It is the intention of the Master Developer to convey such 1. 75 acre site to a non-profit entity to develop a Community Administration and Arts Buildings, to be used by such non-profit to implement several community programs and services. (b) Temporary Ponding Basin.
(i) Designation of Temporary Ponding Basin Site. To facilitate development of the Park Amenity Site, Master Developer covenants to provide the City a temporary easement for the development of a temporary ponding basin. Such temporary ponding basin may be necessitated by the fact that the Park Amenity Site is planned to be served by future master plan facilities within Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) Drainage Area "SS", per the adopted FMFCD Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan (Exhibit "H"), and the storm drain pipelines have not yet been constructed to Basin "SS". The site of the temporary easement for the temporary ponding basin (the "Temporary Basin"), shall be located on a portion of the Master Developer Property that shall be designated by Master Developer, in consultations with the City, and shall be on a site that will support the Temporary Basin sized to handle the capacities required for the Park Amenity Site (the "City Required Capacities) and the development of such other portions of the Master Developer Property as the Master Developer shall determine (the "Master Developer's Required Capacities"). (ii) If the site of the temporary ponding basin provided by the Developer is not immediately adjacent to the Park Amenity, then the Developer shall dedicate the necessary easements to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District for the required segments of master plan pipe to convey the storm water to the temporary ponding basin. The Developer shall either construct the FMFCD storm drain pipeline as set forth in the FMFCD master plan, or reimburse the City its actual costs for construction of the pipeline.
(iii) Development of Temporary Ponding Basin Use. If Master Developer requires development of the Temporary Basin before there is a need to support the City Required Capacities, it shall design, develop and maintain the Temporary Basin at the designated site, including such portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities as it may determine and which it may add to from time to time. When the City Required Capacities are required, the City shall design, develop the Temporary Basin, or develop additional capacities to the then existing Temporary Basin, necessary to support the City Required Capacities. Before commencing its development or expansion of the Temporary Basin, the City shall also consult with the Master Developer to determine whether Master Developer desires to coordinate to have any portions of the Master Developer's Required Capacities concurrently designed and developed with the City Required Capacities and City shall include such elements of the Master Developer's Required Capacities in its design and development activities. In that event, Master Developer shall reimburse the City a prorated portion of the costs of the design and development of the Temporary Basin conducted by or on behalf of the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are included in such City activities. Master Developer shall also retain the right to further develop the Temporary Basin to 24 incorporate any further portions of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that it may require from time to time, which shall be designed and developed at its sole cost and expense.
(iv) Maintenance of Temporary Ponding Basin. Until such time as the City constructs the City Required Capacities, Master Developer shall maintain any Temporary Ponding Basin that it initially develops. After City constructs the City Required Capacities, it shall undertake maintenance of the Temporary Ponding Basin.
Master Developer shall, on an annual basis, reimburse City for a portion of the maintenance costs reasonably documented by the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are then incorporated into the Temporary Ponding Basin. (v) Decommissioning of Ponding Basin. At such time as the Temporary Basin is no longer needed due to the FMFCD development of required storm drain pipelines, or the availability of options to support the City's Required Capacities, Master Developer shall provide the City written notice of such circumstance.
City shall thereupon, within one year following receipt of such notice, backfill the Temporary Basin to 95% relative compaction, remove any perimeter fencing, and conduct a Phase I environmental survey (and any follow on evaluations or remediation recommended by such Phase I environmental survey) (the "Decommissioning Activities") after which time the temporary easement will be extinguished. Master Developer shall reimburse City for a portion of the Decommissioning Activities reasonably documented by the City, based on the relative percentages of the City Required Capacities and the portion of the Master Developer's Required Capacities that are then incorporated into the Temporary Ponding Basin. (vi) Termination of City Easement. The nonexclusive easement granted to the City to support its use of the Temporary Ponding Basin shall remain in full force and effect until the Decommissioning Activities are completed. (c) Development of the Park Amenity. Upon acquisition of the Park Amenity Site, the City shall commence and diligently pursue development of the Park Amenity subject to the availability of TCC Project Funds associated with the proposed Park Amenity and issued for its construction. The City will make its best effort to secure the match for the development of the Park Amenity, and will submit additional grant applications as available to pursue funding to complete the Park Amenity.

The Parties recognize this Agreement and the West Creek Village Approvals and City Permits referenced herein contain extensive requirements (i.e., construction standards, landscape standards, etc.) and that evidence of each and every requirement would be a wasteful exercise of the Parties' resources. Accordingly, Master Developer shall be deemed to have satisfied its duty of demonstration if it presents evidence satisfactory to the City of its good faith compliance, as that term is used in Government Code, Section 65865.1, with the material provisions of this Agreement.

If the Director initially determines that the Master Developer Report is inadequate in any respect, he or she shall provide written notice to that effect to Master Developer, and Master Developer may supply such additional information or evidence as may be necessary to demonstrate good faith compliance with the material terms of this Agreement. If the Director 37 concludes that Master Developer has not demonstrated good faith compliance with the material terms of this Agreement, he or she shall so notify Master Developer prior to the expiration of the thirty day period herein specified and prepare a staff report to the City Council with respect to the conclusions of the Director and the contentions of Master Developer with respect thereto (the Staff Report).

At such public hearing, Master Developer and any other interested Person shall be entitled to submit evidence, orally or in writing, and address all the issues raised in the Staff Report on, or with respect or germane to, the issue of Master Developer's good faith compliance with the material terms of this Agreement.

PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
The subject is located at the SW corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard @ E Church Avenue.
Fresno (City and County), CA 93706. The subject is part of a large proposed development know as West Creek Village. The subject will represent a 9.99 acre park that will be contained in the middle of the development, which will consist of single and multi-family development, commercial development, and the western campus of Fresno Community College. The subject parcel does not yet exist and does not currently have an assessor's parcel number.
The subject will be part of the West Creek Village development that will include the following area.
A. The Town Center. A pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented, mixed-use center located at the southeast corner of the site near Jensen Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The Town Center provides a lively residential, retail, and restaurant mix, and is proposed in two parts: one centered on a conventional car accessed grocery store, and the other on a walkable "Main Street." B. Neighborhood West. Located west of Central Park, this neighborhood is built around a series of greens. It is composed primarily of single-family houses with multi-family housing facing Central Park. Neighborhood West also hosts an elementary school at the corner of Jensen Avenue and Knight Avenue.
C. Neighborhood East. Located east of Central Park, this neighborhood provides multifamily housing along MLK Jr. Boulevard and the perimeter of Central Park. The middle portion of these blocks accommodate rosewalks (single-family houses built along both sides of a common green).
At the corner of Church Avenue and MLK, Jr. Boulevard is a Commercial Center, which provides neighborhood-serving retail and services for Southwest Fresno residents.
D. The Campus. Located along the northern edge of the site is the State Center Community College District's (SCCCD) proposed Southwest Fresno campus. Campus buildings are built around a series of quadrangles with parking located behind buildings.
E. Central Park (Subject). This is a large community park located at the center of West Creek Village that accommodates a variety of passive and active uses, ranging from multi-purpose sports courts, to splash plazas, to open fields, to picnic tables and shelters.
The following map details the zones indicated above.
1 INTRODUCTION
j
l
i
A significant component to the proposed development is the funding provided to the State Center Community College District, who will develop the expanded Fresno Community College West Extension on the site. On January 29, 2018, the California Strategic Growth Council (CSGC) unanimously approved a $70 million competitive grant to improve the City of Fresno through community-led development and infrastructure projects. Included in this amount is $16.9 million allocated to onsite infrastructure associated with a proposed satellite college campus that will be constructed on the subject property. This would augment a $40 million commitment from the State Center Community College District to construct the campus. The resulting $56.9 million will be used to develop the infrastructure of the overall development along with the campus. These fund have a significant contributory value to the subject's pending parcels as the off-site will be constructed at a cost to the SCCCD and not the subject or any other owner. In addition, the City of Fresno has committed to spending $11.7 million to improve the surrounding street, primarily Church Street, MLK Jr. Blvd. and Jensen Avenue. Improvements include street widening, curbs, gutters, water, sewer, and electrical improvements to support the West Creek Village development.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The legal description can be found in the Preliminary Report, a copy of which was not provided for review.
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property, in "as proposed" condition . Market value is defined as follows:
Market value is one of the central concepts of the appraisal practice. Market value is differentiated from other types of value in that it is created by the collective patterns of the market. Market value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 3 INTRODUCTION
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. 1
INTENDED USE OF REPORT
This appraisal is to determine land value for purposes of a land sale and gift from 2500 MLK to the City of Fresno.
INTENDED USERS OF REPORT
This appraisal is intended for exclusive use by 2500 MLK LLC and the City of Fresno. Use of this appraisal by others is prohibited.
PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
The value estimated represents the fee simple interest.
APPRAISAL DEVELOPMENT AND REPORTING PROCESS
The following steps were completed by BAAR for this assignment:
1. Analyzed regional, city, neighborhood, site, and improvement data.
2. Inspected the subject and the neighborhood.
3. Reviewed data regarding taxes, zoning, utilities, easements, and city services.
4. Considered comparable improved sales, comparable improved building rental information, and comparable site sales. Confirmed data with principals, managers, or real estate agents representing principals, unless otherwise noted.
5. Analyzed the data to arrive at conclusions via each approach to value used in this report.
6. Reconciled the results of each approach to value employed into a probable range of market data and finally an estimate of value for the subject, as defined herein.
7. Estimated a reasonable exposure time associated with the value estimate.
The subject site and improvement descriptions are based on a personal inspection of the property, knowledge of construction techniques, and review of the relevant plat maps. The inspection is not a substitute for thorough engineering studies. To develop the opinion of value, BAAR performed a complete and thorough appraisal process considering all approaches to value. This report fully conforms to appraisal guideline as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as of January 1, 2018.
This is an Appraisal Report which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In this 1 The definition of market value is taken from: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under 12 CFR, Part 34, Subpart C-Appraisals, =34.42(f), August 24, 1990. This definition is compatible with the definition of market value contained in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Third Edition, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board ofThe Appraisal Foundation, 1992 edition. This definition is also compatible with the OTS, RTC, FDIC, NCUA, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System definition of market value.
4 INTRODUCTION
appraisal, BAAR has considered all known applicable approaches to value, but utilized only the sales comparison approach per the scope of work identified by the client. The value conclusion reflects all known information about the subject property, market conditions, and available data.
This Appraisal Report incorporates a practical/detailed explanation of the data, reasoning and analysis that were used to develop the opinion of value. It also includes detailed descriptions of the subject property and the market for the subject property type. All data considered significant that was requested for this assignment was received by BAAR.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
No items of personal property are included in this valuation.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
The subject is a proposed 9.99 acre parkland parcel that is part of a larger development that does not currently exist. As such, the subject is valued under the Hypothetical Condition that it has been subdivided into its proposed 9.99 acre site along with the existing parcels. The subject is further valued under the Hypothetical Condition that the proposed development will occur as planned.
Any changes to these Hypothetical Conditions may lead to alternate values applying.
There are no Extraordinary Assumptions within the report.
EXPOSURE/MARKETING TIME
Based upon a review of recent sales transactions in the subject market area and interviews with market participants, along with inspection and evaluation of the subject property, the estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at Market Value As Is as of the date of value of this appraisal is estimated to be twelve (12) months. I forecast that this is a reasonable time of exposure under current market conditions to sell the subject at the appraised value. It is also necessary to estimate the appropriate "exposure time" which is defined as the amount of time from when a property is available for sale to the date on which it enters escrow. Based on a review of the above data, the "exposure time" and "marketing time" for the subject property are estimated to be the same.
5 AREA ANALYSIS
AREA ANALYSIS
The dynamic nature of economic relationships within a market area has a direct bearing on real estate values and the long-term quality of a real estate investment. In the market, the value of a property is not based on the price paid for it in the past or the cost of its creation, but on what buyers and sellers perceive it will provide in the future. Consequently, the attitude of the market toward a property within a specific neighborhood or market area reflects the probable future trend of that area.
Since real estate is an immobile asset, economic trends affecting its location quality in relation to other competing properties within its market area will also have a direct effect on its value as an investment. To accurately reflect such influences, it is necessary to examine the past and probable future trends, which may affect the economic structure of the market and evaluate their impact on the market potential of the _subject. This section of the report is designed to isolate and examine the discernible economic trends in the region and neighborhood, which influence and create value for the subject property.
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
THE CENTRAL VALLEY
The Central Valley is 450 miles long, 40 to 60 miles wide, and contains 42,000 square miles.
Geographically, the Central Valley can be divided into the northern Sacramento Valley (made up of ten counties) and the southern San Joaquin Valley (made up of eight counties).
As of 2011 , the estimated population of the Central Valley was in excess of 6.5 million people, or about one-sixth of the state's population. The largest cities include: Fresno, Sacramento, Bakersfield, Stockton and Modesto, all with populations in excess of 200,000. Population growth has resulted from a combination of natural increase and migration. The Central Valley contains an abundance of undeveloped land, which is low in price relative to that in the more developed coastal areas. On the negative side, much of the land is prime agriculture land and there has been increasing resistance to the loss of farmland for development.
Much of the Central Valley is agricultural land and therefore has a seasonal employment base.
State Government is the largest employer in the region. Other large employers include Sutter Health, Kaiser Permanente, Mercy Healthcare, Raley's Supermarkets, Hewlett-Packard, Pacific Bell, Packard Bell, Intel, UPS, Bank of America, NEC Electronics, US Computer Systems, Blue Diamond Growers, Campbell Soup Company, and the Sacramento Bee Newspapers. The economy has become increasingly diverse as technology companies seek lower cost locations as compared to the San Francisco Bay Area. This region also has a fairly well educated population base as compared to other regions within the State, but includes a large, unskilled migrant farm worker segment.

AREA ANALYSIS
FRESNO COUNTY
The Greater Fresno region is typically defined as all of Fresno County, Madera, Firebaugh and Chowchilla in Madera County; Hanford, Lemoore in Kings County; and Dinuba, Monson and Travers in Tulare County. This region is part of California's Central Valley, the nation's leading agricultural area with more than eleven million acres of irrigated land. The City of Fresno is located approximately 200 miles southeast of San Francisco and 225 miles north of Los Angeles.
Fresno is located in California's fertile central valley where agriculture is the main force of the area's economy; its agriculture output serves both the San Francisco and Los Angeles markets.
Over 500 trucking and warehouse facilities support the areas operations as well as two railways.
According to recent estimates, the Fresno Metropolitan Area has a population of 942,904.
Fresno has strong residential occupancy rates. Current occupancy rates are above 95% based on our discussions with local property managers and investors. Rental rates increased in recent years. Signs of market distress in the residential housing sector have appeared with median home prices in decline, notices of default and foreclosures at, or near, ten-year highs. Multi-family residential rental rates appear to be stable with moderate increases foreseen in the near future.
Two major freeways serve the Fresno region: Interstate 99 connects Sacramento to the north and Bakersfield, and other cities to the south. Interstate 5, located 35 miles west of the subject, is the main north-south route through the interior of California; it travels from Mexico to Canada.
Highway 180 serves as the main east-west freeway in the Fresno area.
Fresno County's unemployment rate was at 8.1 % as of December 2017. The relatively high unemployment rate is typical of the Central Valley where employment is heavily dependent to agriculture related jobs, which tend to be seasonal. The economic profile for Fresno County shows a broad range of employment opportunities in growing industries such as call centers and back office operations, light assembly, packaging, and distribution/warehousing. Other thriving sectors include medical, financial and technological support services.
ECONOMY
Fresno County's agricultural industry contributes around $6 billion annually to the California economy and supports roughly 20% of all local jobs. The metro remains one of the top producing agricultural regions in the nation. However, the region's reliance on agriculture also exposes it to fluctuations in the market and external forces such as the weather. The drought that hit California over the last several years caused farmers to increasingly tap into their well water reserves, which increased not only expenses for drilling deeper wells but also the energy costs of pumping. Low water availability also leads to a reduction in crops, meat production, lower wages for employees, and higher food prices for consumers.
8 AREA ANALYSIS
While employment growth is outperforming the national benchmark, the unemployment rate was still about double the national mark as of 18Q1. The Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sector continues to experience steady job growth, buoyed by the fact that the economy in Fresno is wedded to the agricultural industry. However, white-collar sectors haven't been so fortunate. In fact, office-using employment still hasn't returned to the prerecession peak, and the Financial Activities and Professional and Business Services sectors actually shed jobs in the last 12 months.

Fresno's average household income is $63,256, which is slightly higher than Fresno County at $62,865 and the surrounding cities of Chowchilla, Kerman, Kingsburg , and Madera but lower than the nearby city of Clovis, which has the highest average income of $74,391.
LAND USE
Fresno County has a large amount of land available for future residential, commercial, industrial, and business park development. Approximately 51 % of Fresno's current land inventory is available for development. About 46% is not available for development and a little over 2% of the land inventory has already been urbanized. As indicated above, there is still a substantial portion of land available, and we do not anticipate a shortage of land for development in the foreseeable future within Fresno County.
EMPLOYMENT
The unemployment rate in the Fresno County was 8.1 percent in December 2017, up from a revised 7.5 percent in November 2017, and below the year-ago estimate of 9.4 percent. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.2 percent for California and 3.9 percent for the nation during the same period.

While the near term outlook for the region is guarded , the long-term outlook is more optimistic.
As the economy continues to recover from the recent recession, the region should benefit from the recovery; however, near term growth for the region is projected to be limited. 2010 CENSUS DATA

HOUSING
More than half of Fresno's housing stock, or 54.82%, is owner-occupied as compared to 41.28% renter-occupied properties. This is suggestive of a housing market where the relative affordability of the market combines with a favorable economic environment has allowed residents to purchase homes.

CITY OF FRESNO
The subject property is located in Fresno, approximately 175 miles southeast of San Francisco on Highway 99. The city of Fresno encompasses roughly 100 square miles and is the largest community in the southern San Joaquin Valley with a population of approximately 501,362 as of July 2011. Fresno is nestled along Highway 99 in Fresno County and is considered by Forbes Magazine to be the 89th out of 200 cities for the Forbes 2000 "Best Places" list and was awarded an All-American City Award for 2000. Located in the center of the world's richest agricultural region, Fresno is larger than both St. Louis and Atlanta.
Fresno is culturally diverse with over 85 languages spoken in the schools due to the influx of immigrant groups. Fresno is also in the midst of rapid growth, having doubled in size in less than 20 years. The greatest development emphasis is in the northern sector although most properties, including the subject's area, are experiencing modest growth. 12 AREA ANALYSIS
Agriculture is the predominant industry within the Fresno area. The area is also known as a distribution hub for trucking and warehousing firms. Two railways operate intermodal facilities in Fresno County and serve all points north, south and east. The nation's largest parcel carriers, UPS, FedEx and DHL, all operate out of the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport.
POPULATION
Between July 2012 and July 2013, Fresno County's population grew just over 1 %, which is the county's highest growth rate in three years. Fresno is growing faster than the state of California as a whole, and faster than other counties. The growth in the area is attributed to a growing Hispanic population, which makes up a first-time majority in Fresno. Between 2000 and 2010, the city of Fresno grew a whopping 41 % as more Californians move inland to get away from the high cost of living on the coast.

SUMMARY
In summary, Fresno County and the City of Fresno are in the stable stage of their life cycles, following a period of rapid growth from 1990 through 2005. Because of significantly lower land prices, traditional agricultural areas are in transition to more intensive residential development.
Growth will continue in unincorporated portions of the county, although parcels of agricultural land will continue to be protected by Williamson Act Contracts and land preservation zones. Fresno has a sufficiently diversified economy to support continued growth.
Although the economy of the San Joaquin Valley has been negatively affected by the recent national and local recessions, the long-term economic outlook for this area is good. Cities and outlying areas are still experiencing population growth. Unemployment rates can be higher, but as the economy shifts from primarily agricultural to primarily service sector, these rates should moderate. While the near term outlook for the region is guarded, the long-term outlook is more optimistic. When the economy begins to recover from the current recession, the region should benefit from the recovery; however, near term growth for the region is limited. 13 i Uflli•J;IAHi

The area was historically agricultural in nature but has slowly been developed with a mix of residential, limited commercial, and industrial uses. The neighborhood has historically constituted the lowest priced within the city. The city is efforting to revitalize the area. The City of Fresno and the Southwest Fresno Community has incorporated and integrated several plans and affiliations into one concerted effort and specific plan for Southwest Fresno. The number one driving force behind the current effort to transform and revitalize Southwest Fresno is the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan (SWFSP). The SWFSP marks a historic planning and development milestone for the Southwest Fresno Community. With ample land available for development and a prime location next to Fresno's downtown, Southwest Fresno has an enormous potential for positive change.
The subject is located just west of Highways 41 and 99, which provide regional access to larger freeways and surrounding communities. The properties in the area have average market appeal and average market acceptance. We estimate that the vacancy rate in the immediate area is between 4% and 8% for residential uses. The neighborhood as well as its infrastructure is suburban. The streets are largely improved with concrete curbs and gutters, streets are paved with asphalt, and all utilities and city services are available to the neighborhood.

MARKET OVERVIEW
MARKET OVERVIEW
Fresno is located in the middle of the Central Valley, and is one of the region's most populous metros, with approximately 1 million residents. Encompassing Fresno County, a significant portion of economic activity in the area, like most Central Valley metros, is tied to agriculture. While job growth has outperformed the national average since 2012, non-agricultural employment is heavily concentrated in government, education and health services, sectors that typically do not offer robust income growth, but do soften market volatility.
Multifamily fundamentals have been strong, as both vacancy and rent growth are outperforming the national averages. In fact, vacancies here have historically been limited, and 2018 has seen the mark trend in line with the metro's all-time low, as demand continued to outpace a limited number of deliveries. The lack of substantial income gains, combined with a median household income well below the statewide median, has traditionally limited rent growth. The past several years, however, have been exceptions. New construction, while more active here than in neighboring secondary metros, has been measured, helping to avoid a supply-driven rise in vacancies. Investors have taken note of the metro's strong fundamentals-annual sales volume has easily surpassed the $116 million historical average the past four consecutive years and has done so again in 2018.

VACANCY
Fresno offers the largest concentration of multifamily inventory among Central Valley metros but little high-end product. Renters make up nearly half of Fresno's population, despite home prices that are much more affordable compared to most other metros in California.
Even still, home ownership is out of reach for many residents. While the median single family home is about $260,000, Fresno's median household income is only around $51,000, roughly 17 MARKET OVERVIEW
20% below the state average. Furthermore, high-earning households are relatively scarce: Less than 20% of metro households earn $100,000 or more annually.
Major metro employers include Cargill, Foster Farms and Zacky Farms, as the metro consistently ranks among the nation's leaders for job growth in food manufacturing and processing. Another employer that has historically had a large presence in Fresno is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). However, the IRS plans to shutter its 532,000 SF tax-processing center in 2021, which will result in the elimination of 3,000 jobs. One factor that does not help Fresno's employment rate or income levels is location. On the one hand, the metro is near the geographical center of California and roughly 200 miles from each Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. Conversely, Fresno's distance does not allow for "super-commuters" (a commute that is 90 minutes or more one way) to take advantage of the abundance of higher-paying jobs in other major metros.
Residents of Central Valley locales like Stockton and Modesto have the opportunity to commute to Bay Area metros for example, but Fresno is too far removed from California's major cities.
As a result of steady demand and limited new construction this cycle, vacancies in Fresno have been tight in recent years. From 2014-17, vacancies averaged less than 5%. And occupancy levels have further increased in 2018. Indeed, in 18Q3, vacancy reached an all-time metro low of only 3.5%, or more than 200 basis points below the national average. The vacancy rate is currently 3.5%.

RENT
Healthy rent growth was slow to reach Fresno this cycle. While the metro only suffered one year of rent losses in the wake of the Great Recession, sluggish wage growth and the prevalence of low-paying jobs tied to the agriculture industry limited gains to less than 2% annually from 2010-
14. On the other hand, the average Fresno rent only consumes a little more than 20% of the median income, which has given landlords room to push rents in recent years without burdening renters. Rent growth has consistently averaged around 5% since 2015, and gains were about in line with that mark as of 18Q3. Rent growth is currently 4.1 %.
The average asking rent in Fresno is $950/month. Rates receive little boost from high-end product, as only about 5% of metro inventory is 4 & 5 Star-rated. Asking rents are about 20% lower than Stockton's but roughly in line with Visalia's and Bakersfield's. While Stockton benefits from its proximity to the Bay Area and the exorbitant housing costs there, which have led to a steady exodus of Bay Area residents to nearby metros, the remoteness of Fresno, Visalia, and Bakersfield, however, precludes them from siphoning demand from major metros.
North Fresno and East Fresno command some of the highest rents among the metro's submarkets. North Fresno's highly rated school system is a major draw for families, as is the easy access to employment nodes along two major highways, and East Fresno also benefits from being located near a variety of healthcare employers. South Fresno, home to the metro's burgeoning downtown area, has one of the lowest asking rents in the metro. The submarket 19 MARKET OVERVIEW
experienced limited demand over the past year and has a vacancy rate that is among the highest in the metro.

Developers have been confident enough in fundamentals to bring a steady, albeit modest, number of projects to Fresno. New supply has been added every year since 2005, and the largest amount of new construction this cycle occurred in 2017, when nearly 500 units delivered. Since 2010, metro inventory has increased by about 3% cumulatively. 20 MARKET OVERVIEW
As of August 2018, around 500 units were under construction. One of the most significant projects is Vintage Park, a 160-unit community in the North Fresno Submarket, which broke ground in 2017 and may deliver as soon as 18Q4. The project will include amenities such as granite countertops, walk-in closets, and in-unit washer/dryers.
Much of 2017's new inventory was the result of one project. The 4 Star 350-unit Dominion Courtyard Villas delivered in the North Fresno Submarket, with the first phase of units coming on line in May and the remainder in November. The Ellis Enterprises' developed community boasts large units targeted at family households searching for access to North Fresno's school districts, and high-end amenities that are uncommon in the metro. Asking rents are nearly double the metro average but lease up has been outstanding-the project was more than 95% occupied as of August 2018. Dominion Courtyard Villas' biggest draw is its proximity to the top schools in the highly rated Clovis Unified School District. Furthermore, the property is only about a 10-minute drive from California State University, Fresno, and is directly between Highway 41 and Highway 168, which both lead to nearby employment nodes.
Nearly half of new construction this cycle has been concentrated in the downtown area. For example, The Lede, a 3 Star 85-unit garden-style community developed by Granville Homes, delivered in the fall of 2016. The asset stabilized within two quarters of completion as demand from young professionals in the urban core continues to grow. Granville Homes has been one of the most active developer's downtown, bringing six multifamily properties totaling roughly 250 units to the revitalized area since 2011. Granville Homes sold its portfolio of downtown assets in April 2017, including two projects that were under construction on L Street.

21 MARKET OVERVIEW
SALES
Fresno has received its share of investment activity this cycle, with sales volume topping $200 million on two occasions, or about double the metro's long-term average. Little out-of-state capital finds its way here, and many buyers are metro-based. Inventory turnover has been robust in recent years, averaging almost 7% from 2014-17. By comparison, inventory turnover averaged about 3% from 2010-13.
Pricing has jumped considerably in recent years. From 2013-16, the average price was about $60,000/unit. However, in 2017, the average price/unit increased to approximately $84,000, or a roughly 40% increase from the pace of the prior few years. The strength has continued in 2018- pricing has been about in line with last year's mark.
One of the most noteworthy trades of late was the March 2018 trade of Jackson Park Place. The 3 Star 376-unit community was acquired by Fresno-based Golden State Financial Corporation for $51 .5 million ($137,000/unit) at a reported cap rate of 5. 7%. The North Fresno Submarket-located property was 96% leased, with asking rents about 25% higher than the submarket average at the time of sale.
After sales got off to a slow start in 2017, volume leaped considerably in Q4 as a result of a large portfolio sale. In November, Los Angeles-based JRK Property Holdings acquired the 3 Star Dominion Heights Apartments and the 4 Star Crown Point & Cascades Apartments from Redwood City-based Demmon Partners for $98.8 million ($161 ,000/unit) at a reported cap rate of 5.5%.
Located in the North Fresno Submarket, the properties combine for 614 units and were 100% occupied at the time of sale.
Sales transactions here typically average around the $2.5 million mark, and one recent example is Manchester Arms, located in the North Fresno Submarket. In April 2018, the 2 Star 42-unit property was acquired by an individual investor for $2.45 million ($58,000/unit) at a reported cap rate of 8.5%.

In the State of California, real estate is assessed at 100 percent of market value as determined by the County Assessor's Office. The maximum tax rate cannot exceed 1 percent of the property's appraised value, plus any special assess. The subject parcel does not yet exist and there is no corresponding APN or assessed value. Since the subject will be dedicated as parkland, it will not be assessed and will not be subject to property taxes. However, there will be direct levies that have been estimated on the table above.
Proposition 13 was passed by voters in June 1978 and substantially changed the taxation of real estate in California. This constitutional amendment rolled back the base year for assessment purposes to the tax year 1975-1976. Annual increases in assessed value are limited to 2 percent per year, regardless of the rate of inflation. Real estate is subject to re-appraisal to current market value upon a change in ownership or new construction. The subject will likely be reassessed after the transfer and subsequent construction.
Within the definition of "market value," the assumption is made that the subject property will be sold on the open market and, thus, the property is reassessed for tax purposes for this appraisal. 29 HIGHEST AND BEST USE
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are:
• legal permissibility;
• physical possibility;
• financial feasibility; and
• maximum profitability.
Highest and best use is applied specifically to the use of a site as vacant. 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 the highest and best use is 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 assessing the subject both as if vacant and as improved.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS THOUGH VACANT
Legal Permissibility
The legally permissible uses were discussed in detail in the site analysis and zoning sections of this report. Overall, based on our review of the zoning restrictions, the site has several residential, civic, and related potential uses. The parcel is part of a larger development and may be rezoned to reflect the pending parkland use. Residential subdivision would be the highest and best use as vacant until the subject is converted for parkland use at what time this will be the highest and best use. The value of the subject herein reflects the single-family residential subdivision value as it is currently zoned.
Physical Possibility
The physical characteristics of the subject site were discussed in detail in the site analysis section of this report. Overall, the layout and positioning of the site in southwestern Fresno and warrants residential related uses.
Financial Feasibility
The test of financial feasibility is put only to those uses, which are legally permissible and physically possible. If the property is capable of generating a sufficient net income to cover the 30 HIGHEST AND BEST USE
required rate of return on investment and provide a return to the land, then the usage is financially feasible within a defined price limit.
BAAAR analyzed the financial feasibility of developing the subject site based on current market rental rates. This analysis compares the net operating income produced by appropriate improvements to the economic return on the property's value. In essence, the net income produced by the proposed or new improvements must provide a return to the cost of the improvements.
Maximum Profitability
The final test of highest and best use of the site as though vacant is that the use is maximally productive, yielding the highest land value. In the case of the subject as though vacant, the analysis thus far has indicated that agricultural and residential related uses would be most likely.
Conclusion: Highest and Best Use As Though Vacant
Based on this discussion, it concluded that the Highest and Best Use of the subject site as vacant would be for residential related development. Overall, based on our review of the zoning restrictions, the site has several residential, civic, and related potential uses. The parcel is part of a larger development and may be rezoned to reflect the pending parkland use. Residential subdivision would be the highest and best use as vacant until the subject is converted for parkland use at what time this will be the highest and best use. The value of the subject herein reflects the single-family residential subdivision value as it is currently zoned. 31 APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY
APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY
The appraisal process is defined as an orderly program by which the problem is planned and the data involved is acquired, classified, analyzed and interpreted into an estimate of value. In this process three basic approaches to value are considered : Income Capitalization Approach, Sales Comparison Approach, and Cost Approach. In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or omitted based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the quality and quantity of information available.
The final step in the appraisal process is reconciliation -- a process by which BAAR analyzes alternative conclusions and selects a final value estimate from among two or more indications of value. BAAR weighs the relative significance, applicability and defensibility of each approach as it relates to the type of property being appraised.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
The methodology of the Income Capitalization Approach is to determine the income-producing capacity of the property on a stabilized basis by estimating market rent from comparable rentals, making deductions for vacancy and collection losses and building expenses, then capitalizing the net income at a market-derived rate to yield an indication of value. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net income and value.
The subject will be parkland associated with the larger development known as West Creek Village. As such it will not have income generating potential. The exclusion of this approach is not considered to affect the reliability of the value concluded herein.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach utilizes sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences, to indicate a value for the subject property. Valuation is typically accompl ished using physical units of comparison such as price per square foot, price per unit, price per floor, etc., or economic units of comparison such as gross rent multiplier. Adjustments are applied to the physical units of comparison derived from the comparable sale. The unit of comparison chosen for the subject is then used to yield a total value. Economic units of comparison are not adjusted, but rather analyzed as to relevant differences with the final estimate derived based on the general comparisons.
The reliability of this approach is dependent upon (a) the availability of comparable sales data; (b) the verification of the sales data; (c) the degree of comparability; (d) the absence of atypical conditions affecting the sales price. The subject is a special use property that has various components. There are adequate sales from various transactions to render a value for the subject. Accordingly, this approach has been included in the analysis. 32 APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY
THE COST APPROACH
The Cost Approach is based upon the proposition that the informed purchaser would pay no more for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements which represent the highest and best use of the land or when relatively unique or specialized improvements are located on the site and for which there exist few sales or leases of comparable properties.
The subject is currently vacant land and will be converted to parkland upon the completion of the subdivision. There will be park improvements completed by the ownership who will be donated the land. Given the particulars of the subject, the Cost Approach is not applicable. The exclusion of this approach is not considered to affect the reliability of the value concluded herein.
CONCLUSION
As noted above, the Sales Approach is the only approach developed in this valuation. This is the most appropriate approach and mirrors how the subject and similar properties are sold in the market. Accordingly, it is the basis for the reconciled value. 33 SALES APPROACH
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach provides an estimate of market value based on analyzing transactions of similar properties in the market area. The method is based on the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost of acquiring an existing one with the same utility. When there are an adequate number of sales of truly similar properties with sufficient information for comparison, a range of values for the subject property can be developed.
An investigation was made of sales and offerings of comparable properties in the relative market area of the subject property. The approach is based on the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost of acquiring an existing property with the same utility. This approach is applicable when an active market provides sufficient quantity of reliable data that can be verified from authoritative sources. The sales summarized in the following page were selected as the most meaningful and relevant to the valuation of the subject. A map indicating the location of each comparable sale relative to the subject property is also presented below. The comparables are described in further detail in the following paragraphs.
Adjustments to the per unit sale prices of the comparable properties are made in recognition of their relative differences in terms of dates of sale, locational, and physical characteristic differences.
Various adjustments are applied to the comparable data in correlating it to the subject property.
An adjustment grid is presented below. It should be noted that the adjustment process is not intended to be a scientific approach in valuing the property but, rather, a clarification of the adjustment process. The mathematics do not control the final value conclusion, but they do provide guidance as to a range of value within which the value of the subject property would most likely fall.
A significant component to the proposed development is the funding provided to the State Center Community College District, who will develop the expanded Fresno Community College West Extension on the site. On January 29, 2018, the California Strategic Growth Council (CSGC) unanimously approved a $70 million competitive grant to improve the City of Fresno through community-led development and infrastructure projects. Included in this amount is $16.9 million allocated to onsite infrastructure associated with a proposed satellite college campus that will be constructed on the subject property. This would augment a $40 million commitment from the State Center Community College District to construct the campus. The resulting $56.9 million will be used to develop the infrastructure of the overall development along with the campus. These fund have a significant contributory value to the subject's pending parcels as the off-site will be constructed at a cost to the SCCCD and not the subject or any other owner.
There are various methods for valuing estate land acreage like the subject. The selected indicator is the price per acre. While the subject will be slated for use as parkland, it is currently zoned for multi-family residential and this represents its highest and best use. Accordingly, similarly zoned parcel have been included in the analysis.
34 SALES APPROACH
SALE 1 is the transfer of land that is contained within 10 parcels. The property was acquired by a hotel operator but the eventual development will include other product types. The buyer paid all cash for the property at just below the list price of $1,762,500. Like the subject's pending offsite, this comparable had similar development adding to the value. The comparable required an adjustment for the superior location in Clovis. The area has higher predominant values and rents.
An adjustment was also applied for the smaller land area consistent with the principle of economies of scale. The final adjusted price per acre is $209,370.
SALE 2 is the transfer of industrially zoned land that is located east of the subject. The parcel is part of a larger industrial related park. The comparable was acquired by a construction company to use as a yard. An adjustment was necessary for the inferior industrial zoning relative to the subject. Additionally, an adjustment for the inferior off-sites relative to the subject was necessary.
The final adjusted price per acre is $207,447.
SALE 3 is the transfer of land that is located in Clovis northeast of the subject. The buyer paid all cash for the property at just below the list price of $1,762,500. Like the subject's pending off-site, this comparable had similar development adding to the value. The comparable required an adjustment for the superior location in Clovis. The area has higher predominant values and rents.
An adjustment was also applied for the smaller land area consistent with the principle of economies of scale. The final adjusted price per acre is $193,910.
SALE 4 is the transfer of two contiguous parcels that sold as one economic unit. The property was acquired by an investor/developer. The property is located near Herndon, which is an inferior location relative to the subject. An adjustment for the inferior zoning, which allows for less dense development was necessary. An adjustment for the lack of off-sites and the lack of connected utilities. The final adjusted price per acre is $182,713. 35 SALES APPROACH

Value Conclusion
The comparables are considered to be the best available at the time of this appraisal. With the most similar physical characteristics and features as the subject, they do provide for a reasonable value conclusion. All the comparables represented transfer of fee simple ownership. All of the comparables were financed with conventional or seller financing at market rates. As such, no adjustment for favorable financing is considered warranted. All the sales were deemed as market transactions and no adjustment is warranted. No concessions were noted for the sales.
After adjustment, the sales selected for direct comparison to the subject, range in price from approximately $182,713 to $209,370 per usable acre, with an adjusted average of $198,360.
Sales Equal weight is given to all the comparables as they bracket the subject's features. After review and analysis of the comparable sales, we conclude that a unit price for the subject just near the average or $200,000 per usable acre is supportable. Accordingly, the fee simple value of the subject is calculated as follows:
$200,000/Acre x 9.99 Acres = $1,998,000
Rounded = $2,000,000
Hypothetical Value Conclusion by the Sales Approach
The opinion of hypothetical value for the subject property, by the Sales Approach, as of August 1, 2018, was:

The subject was appraised using the Sales Approach only. The Cost Approach is not applicable given the dilapidated improvements and the primary value associated with the land area. The Income Approach is not applicable for the valuation of the subject as it is not a viable income producing property and there is no comparable/similar rental data available. The Sales Approach is given primary weight as it is the only approach that was developed.

ADDENDUM
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
1. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of the report, it is assumed that title to the property or properties appraised is clear and marketable and that there are no recorded or unrecorded matters or exceptions to total that would adversely affect marketability or value. BAAR is not aware of any title defects nor has it been advised of any unless such is specifically noted in the report. BAAR, however, has not examined title and makes no representations relative to the condition thereof. Documents dealing with liens, encumbrances, easements, deed restrictions, clouds and other conditions that may affect the quality of title have not been reviewed. Insurance against financial loss resulting in claims that may arise out of defects in the subject property's title should be sought from a qualified title company that issues or insures title to real property.
2. It is assumed that improvements have been constructed or will be constructed according to approved architectural plans and specifications and in conformance with recommendations contained in or based upon any soils report(s).
Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of this report, it is assumed: that any existing improvements on the property or properties being appraised are structurally sound, seismically safe and code conforming; that all building systems (mechanical/electrical, HVAC, elevator, plumbing, etc.) are, or will be upon completion, in good working order with no major deferred maintenance or repair required; that the roof and exterior are in good condition and free from intrusion by the elements; that the property or properties have been engineered in such a manner that it or they will withstand any known elements such as windstorm, hurricane, tornado, flooding, earthquake, or similar natural occurrences; and, that the improvements, as currently constituted, conform to all applicable local, state, and federal building codes and ordinances. BAAR professionals are not engineers and are not competent to judge matters of an engineering nature. BAAR has not retained independent structural, mechanical, electrical, or civil engineers in connection with this appraisal and, therefore, makes no representations relative to the condition of improvements. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of the report: no problems were brought to the attention of BAAR by ownership or management; BAAR inspected less than 100% of the entire interior and exterior portions of the improvements; and BAAR 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.
Structural problems and/or building system problems may not be visually detectable. 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, BAAR reserves the right to amend the appraisal conclusions reported herein.
3. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which may or may not be present on the property was not observed by the appraisers. BAAR has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. BAAR, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, contaminated groundwater or other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
We have inspected, as thoroughly as possible by observation, the land; however, it was impossible to personally inspect conditions beneath the soil. Therefore, no representation is made as to these matters unless specifically considered in the appraisal.
4. All furnishings, equipment and business operations, except as specifically stated and typically considered as part of real property, have been disregarded with only real property being considered in the report unless otherwise stated. Any existing or proposed improvements, on or off-site, as well as any alterations or repairs considered, are assumed to be completed in a workmanlike manner according to standard practices based upon the information submitted to BAAR. This report may be subject to amendment upon re-inspection of the subject property subsequent to repairs, modifications, alterations and completed new construction. Any estimate of Market Value is as of the date indicated; based upon the information, conditions and projected levels of operation.
5. It is assumed that all factual data furnished by the client, property owner, owner's representative, or persons designated by the client or owner to supply said data are accurate and correct unless otherwise specifically noted in the appraisal report. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the appraisal report, BAAR has no reason to believe that any of the data furnished contain any material error. Information and data referred to in this paragraph include, without being limited to, numerical street addresses, lot and block numbers, Assessor's Parcel Numbers, land dimensions, square footage area of the land, dimensions of the improvements, gross building areas, net rentable
ADDENDUM
areas, usable areas, unit count, room count, rent schedules, income data, historical operating expenses, budgets, and related data. Any material error in any of the above data could have a substantial impact on the conclusions reported. Thus, BAAR reserves the right to amend conclusions reported if made aware of any such error.
Accordingly, the client-addressee should carefully review all assumptions, data, relevant calculations, and conclusions within 30 days after the date of delivery of this report and should immediately notify BAAR of any questions or errors.
6. The date of value to which any of the conclusions and opinions expressed in this report apply, is set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Further, that the dollar amount of any value opinion herein rendered is based upon the purchasing power of the American Dollar on that date. This appraisal is based on market conditions existing as of the date of this appraisal. Under the terms of the engagement, we will have no obligation to revise this report to reflect events or conditions, which occur subsequent to the date of the appraisal. However, BAAR will be available to discuss the necessity for revision resulting from changes in economic or market factors affecting the subject.
7. BAAR assumes no private deed restrictions, limiting the use of the subject property in any way.
8. Unless otherwise noted in the body of the report, it is assumed that there are no mineral deposit or subsurface rights of value involved in this appraisal, whether they be gas, liquid, or solid. Nor are the rights associated with extraction or exploration of such elements considered unless otherwise stated in this appraisal report. Unless otherwise stated it is also assumed that there are no air or development rights of value that may be transferred.
9. BAAR is not aware of any contemplated public initiatives, governmental development controls, or rent controls that would significantly affect the value of the subject.
10. The estimate of Market Value, which may be defined within the body of this report, is subject to change with market fluctuations over time. Market value is highly related to exposure, time promotion effort, terms, motivation, and conclusions surrounding the offering. The value estimate(s) consider the productivity and relative attractiveness of the property, both physically and economically, on the open market.
11. Any cash flows included in the analysis are forecasts of estimated future operating characteristics are predicated on the information and assumptions contained within the report. Any projections of income, expenses and economic conditions utilized in this report are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are estimates of current market expectations of future income and expenses. The achievement of the financial projections will be affected by fluctuating economic conditions and is dependent upon other future occurrences that cannot be assured. Actual results may vary from the projections considered herein. BAAR does not warrant these forecasts will occur.
Projections may be affected by circumstances beyond the current realm of knowledge or control of BAAR.
12. Unless specifically set forth in the body of the report, nothing contained herein shall be construed to represent any direct or indirect recommendation of BAAR to buy, sell, or hold the properties at the value stated. Such decisions involve substantial investment strategy questions and must be specifically addressed in consultation form.
13. Also, unless otherwise noted in the body of this report, it is assumed that no changes in the present zoning ordinances or regulations governing use, density, or shape are being considered. The property is appraised assuming that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, nor national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimates contained in this report is based, unless otherwise stated.
14. This study may not be duplicated in whole or in part without the specific written consent of BAAR nor may this report or copies hereof be transmitted to third parties without said consent, which consent BAAR reserves the right to deny. Exempt from this restriction is duplication for the internal use of the client-addressee and/or transmission to attorneys, accountants, or advisors of the client-addressee. Also exempt from this restriction is transmission of the report to any court, governmental authority, or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the party/parties for whom this appraisal was prepared, provided that this report and/or its contents shall not be published, in whole or in part, in any public document without the express written consent of BAAR which consent BAAR reserves the right to deny. Finally, this report shall not be advertised to the public or otherwise used to induce a third party to purchase the property or to make a "sale" or "offer for sale" of any "security", as such terms are defined and used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any third party, not covered by the exemptions herein, who may possess this report, is advised that they should rely on their own independently secured advice for any decision in connection with this property. BAAR shall have no accountability or responsibility to any such third party.
15. Any value estimate provided in the report applies to the entire property, and any pro ration or division of the title into fractional interests will invalidate the value estimate, unless such pro ration or division of interests has been set forth in the report.
16. The distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only under the existing program of utilization. Component values for land and/or buildings are not intended to be used in conjunction with any other property or appraisal and are invalid if so used.
ADDENDUM
17. The maps, plats, sketches, graphs, photographs and exhibits included in this report are for illustration purposes only and are to be utilized only to assist in visualizing matters discussed within this report. Except as specifically stated, data relative to size or area of the subject and comparable properties has been obtained from sources deemed accurate and reliable. None of the exhibits are to be removed, reproduced, or used apart from this report.
18. No opinion is intended to be expressed on matters, which may require legal expertise or specialized investigation, or knowledge beyond that customarily employed by real estate appraisers. Values and opinions expressed presume that environmental and other governmental restrictions/conditions by applicable agencies have been met, including but not limited to seismic hazards, flight patterns, decibel levels/noise envelopes, fire hazards, hillside ordinances, density, allowable uses, building codes, permits, licenses, etc. No survey, engineering study or architectural analysis has been made known to BAAR unless otherwise stated within the body of this report. If the Consultant has not been supplied with a termite inspection, survey or occupancy permit, no responsibility or representation is assumed or made for any costs associated with obtaining same or for any deficiencies discovered before or after they are obtained. No representation or warranty is made concerning obtaining these items. BAAR assumes no responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard insurance. An agent for the Federal flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for flood Hazard Insurance.
19. Acceptance and/or use of this report constitutes full acceptance of the Contingent and Limiting Conditions and special assumptions set forth in this report. It is the responsibility of the Client, or client's designees, to read in full, comprehend and thus become aware of the aforementioned contingencies and limiting conditions. Neither the Appraiser nor BAAR assumes responsibility for any situation arising out of the Client's failure to become familiar with and understand the same. The Client is advised to retain experts in areas that fall outside the scope of the real estate appraisal/consulting profession if so desired.
20. BAAR assumes that the subject property analyzed herein will be under prudent and competent management and ownership; neither inefficient or super-efficient.
21. It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report.
22. No survey of the boundaries of the property was undertaken. All areas and dimensions furnished are presumed to be correct. It is further assumed that no encroachments to the realty exist.
23. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. Notwithstanding any discussion of possible readily achievable barrier removal construction items in this report, BAAR has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in conformance 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 ADA. If so, this fact could have a negative effect on the value estimated herein. Since BAAR has no specific information relating to this issue, nor is BAAR qualified to make such an assessment, the effect of any possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA was not considered in estimating the value of the subject property.
24. No consideration has been given in this appraisal as to the value of the property located on the premises considered by the appraiser to be personal property, nor has the appraiser given consideration to the costs of moving or relocating such personal property; only the real property has been considered in this appraisal.
Additionally, the comparable data was of real property only, and no personal property was considered with any market data.
25. The liability of the authors of this appraisal report, BAAR Realty Advisors, and any other employees / contractors of BAAR Realty Advisors is limited to the fee collected for preparation of this appraisal report.
26. Acceptance of, and/or use of, this appraisal report constitutes acceptance of the above conditions.
ADDENDUM
SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
1. The estimate of marketing time is less than 12 months based upon such items as statistical information about days on market; information gathered through sales verification; interviews of marketing participants; and anticipated changes in market conditions. The reasonable marketing time is a function of price, time, use, and anticipated market conditions such as changes in the cost and availability of funds; not an isolated estimate of time alone.
2. This appraisal has been prepared from very limited property data provided by the client. Due to the lack of property specific descriptions and economic data from primary sources, BAAR was required to obtain information from best available sources, which included public records, owners, tenants and others. Every effort has been made to verify all information used within this report; however, it was in some instances necessary for BAAR to make critical assumptions to complete this assignment. BAAR reserves the right to amend its opinion of value at a later date should information become available which would significantly change the stated opinion of values.
All value opinions expressed herein are as of the date of value. In some cases, facts or opinions are expressed in the present time. All opinions are expressed as of the date of value, unless specifically noted. The research and preparation of this appraisal took place in August and September 2018. The effective date of valuation is August 1, 2018 for the as is value. There are no events that must occur between the date of last inspection of the subject property and the date of valuation in order to conclude the value reported herein. Thus the reported value is predicated on the specific assumption that the status of the property as of the date of valuation is not materially different that it was on the date of BAAR last inspection of the subject property. The appraisal is based on real estate and economic conditions as best perceived as of the date of the report.
3. The report and parts thereof and any additional material submitted, may not be used in any prospectus or printed material used in conjunction with the sale of securities or participation interests in Public Offering as defined under U.S. Security laws. Further, neither all nor any part of this appraisal report shall be disseminated to the general public by the use of advertising media, public relations media, news media, sales media, or other media for public communication without the prior consent of BAAR. The use of all or any part of this report in connection with real estate tax shelters, syndication of interests in real estate, the offering of securities, shares or partnership interests in real estate or any other public or private offering without the specific written consent of BAAR is not authorized.
Neither the whole, nor any part of this report, nor any reference thereto may be included in any document, statement, appraisal or circular without the signatories' prior written approval of the form and context in which it is to appear.
4. Any "after tax" income or investment analysis and resultant measures of return on investment are intended to reflect only the possible and general market considerations, whether as part of estimating value or estimating possible returns on investment at an assumed value or Price paid. Any stated conclusion referred to as "Investment Value" should not be construed as being representative of "Market Value" since the prospectus of the Client may be based upon individual investment requirements, as distinguished from the concept of market value, which is impersonal and detached. Market value and investment value may coincide when a client's investment criteria are consistent with prevailing market tends and conditions. In this instance, the two value estimates may be numerically identical, but the two types of value are not interchangeable. BAAR does not claim expertise in tax matters and advises the client to seek competent tax advice from a qualified income tax advisor.
5. The reasonable exposure time is 12 months based on current market conditions. The reasonable exposure time inherent in the market value concept is always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. We also recognize the exposure time is different for various types of real estate and under various market conditions and that the reasonable exposure time should always incorporate the answer to the question, "For what kind of real estate at what value range?" rather than appear as a statement of an isolated time period.
6. This study is not being prepared for use in connection with litigation. Accordingly, no rights to expert testimony, pretrial or other conferences, deposition, or related services are included with this appraisal. If, as a result of this undertaking, BAAR or any of its principals, its appraisers or consultants are requested or required to provide any litigation services, such shall be subject to the provisions of BAAR engagement letter or, if not specified therein, subject to the reasonable availability of BAAR and/or said principals or appraisers at the time and shall further be subject to the party or parties requesting or requiring such services paying the then-applicable professional fees and expenses of BAAR either in accordance with the provisions of the engagement letter or arrangements at the time, as the case may be.
7. All data considered significant that was requested for this assignment was received by BAAR.
