FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The Developer has paid all necessary fees associated with review of TM38994. The Deferral Agreement with Minor Ranch LLC requires annexation into the CFD to be completed prior to the issuance of any building permits within the project. Upon completion of the improvements and subsequent acceptance by the City, ongoing maintenance costs for the improvements would be supported by assessments and through future fiscal year budgets established for the Project’s annexation area within the City’s maintenance CFD.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Resolution of Necessity Authorizing the Condemnation of Property for Right-of-Way Purposes on McCall Boulevard
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Steven E. Strapac, Assistant City Engineer/City Surveyor REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution finding and determining that the public interest and necessity require the acquisition of a portion of real property known as Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 344-080- 021 located on the south side of McCall Boulevard, west of Sherman Road, for the purpose of road widening and storm drain relocation.
DISCUSSION
At the July 15, 2026 City Council meeting, the City Council continued this public hearing item to the August 19, 2026 meeting.
McCall Boulevard (McCall Blvd) is identified in the City’s General Plan as ultimately being an urban arterial six-lane major roadway, with a raised median. The street currently exists as a four- lane roadway. As part of the conditions of approval of development, the Legado residential development (Project) is required to widen McCall Blvd to add an additional eastbound shared through and right turn lane, modify the traffic signal, and construct storm drain improvements under McCall Blvd to approximately 300 feet west of Sherman Road.
In addition to the Legado Project to the north, several future projects are in various stages of the development review and construction process that will contribute to future traffic along this corridor. These projects include the Menifee Commerce Center project, located south of Ethanac Road, east of Sherman Road, and north of a major existing Southern California Edison easement, and the Menifee Valley Specific Plan, located south of Highway 74 between Menifee Road and Briggs Road.
The conditioned road widening by the Project requires the acquisition of additional public right-of- way (ROW) from APN 344-080-021 (Property), located at the southwest corner of McCall Blvd Item Title: 11.1

and Sherman Road. The ROW is needed to accommodate the roadway, storm drain, and traffic signal improvements that facilitate the Project improvements.
Pursuant to applicable requirements of law, the City has appraised the property interests of the location it proposes to acquire the necessary ROW. Following receipt and review of the respective appraisal information, offer letters were sent to the respective property owners, pursuant to Government Code section 7267.2.
Staff has attempted to negotiate with the Property owners but have not been able to secure a final agreement for the transfer of the required ROW Property by way of a negotiated agreement because the property has been in probate since 2022. Without eminent domain, negotiations would have to wait until the conclusion of the probate process.
The proposed resolution would allow the City to proceed with eminent domain processes to acquire the necessary ROW. It is important to note, staff will continue to pursue discussions with the Property owners and monitor the progress of probate proceedings regardless of the City Council’s action with respect to the proposed resolution of necessity, in an attempt to reach mutually agreeable terms for such a negotiated transfer, instead of pursuing eminent domain.
Analysis
The proposed resolution is a resolution of necessity under California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1245.210, et seq. Such a resolution must be considered and approved by the legislative body prior to any exercise of eminent domain to acquire property. The resolution must be passed by a two-thirds majority, or four affirmative votes of the members of the City Council.
The California Eminent Domain Law provides the findings that must be made in a resolution of necessity. These are:
1. That the public interest and necessity require the project for which the property is proposed to be acquired;
2. That the project is planned in a manner that will create the greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. That the property proposed to be acquired is necessary for the project; and
4. That the offer required by Government Code section 7267.2 has been made to the owner of record.
In addition, the City Council is being asked to make the finding that the City has met all other procedural prerequisites for the exercise of eminent domain on the Property, including a determination that the Project was reviewed under applicable environmental review procedures.
The amount of compensation due to the Property interests involved is not a subject of the resolution of necessity, and therefore not before the City Council as an issue to be considered as part of this resolution.
The Property owners, and/or their representative, have a right to appear and be heard on the matters encompassed within the resolution affecting their Property. As required by the California Item Title: 11.1

Eminent Domain Law, the Property owners were given notice of the City’s consideration of the resolution of necessity and notified of their opportunity to appear and be heard on whether the City has undertaken all required steps and met all procedural prerequisites to the exercise of eminent domain to acquire the Property interests proposed to be taken. As mentioned, staff were contacted by one of the property owners, who indicated they may participate at the hearing.
The facts supporting the various findings included within the resolution of necessity are recited in more detail in the text of the resolution itself. Generally, the public interest and necessity require the Project, in that the City's General Plan, and specifically the Circulation Element, calls for the improvement of McCall Blvd in the manner contemplated by the Project. The Project is designed to relieve regional traffic congestion, improve traffic flow, and improve safety for the current and future residents and businesses within the Project region. The Project is located in a manner most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury, in that it requires only minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate street widening, storm drain relocations, and modification of a traffic signal at Sherman Road and McCall Blvd.
The Property to be taken for the Project is necessitated by the widening of McCall Blvd, widening the intersection of McCall Blvd and Sherman Road, and relocation of an existing storm drain facility running parallel to McCall Blvd, as part of the impacts from the Legado residential project.
The Project is designed in a manner compatible with the greatest public good, in that the Project will involve the modification of the existing traffic signal on the southwest quadrant of McCall Blvd and Sherman Road. This will enhance the utility of the area and help improve traffic circulation and safety. The Property is necessary for the proposed Project in order to mitigate the impact of the Project on traffic in the area.
The environmental effects of the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the environmental review for the Legado Project. The City of Menifee was the lead agency for this environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The City publicly noticed its decision to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and hold a public scoping meeting for the Project by noticing the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and distributed the Notice of Preparation (NOP) to various agencies and surrounding property owners and residents in accordance with CEQA requirements. The NOP comment period was from November 14, 2017, to December 14, 2017. On November 30, 2017, the City held a duly noticed public scoping meeting at the Hans Christensen Middle School regarding the preparation of the EIR and provided an opportunity for members of the public to comment on the scope of environmental issues to be addressed in the EIR. The City prepared a final EIR, consisting of all the comment letters received during the 45-day public review and comment period on the draft EIR, written responses to those comments, and revisions and errata to the draft EIR.
On June 3, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-909, making the findings necessary to adopt the Finding of Facts, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, approve certifying the Environmental Impact Report, and directing staff to file a Notice of Determination in compliance with CEQA.

In adopting Resolution No. 20-909, the City Council found that the benefits of the Project outweigh the unavoidable environmental impacts and render acceptable each of the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. These benefits, as described in the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Consideration, include that the Project is consistent with and will contribute to achieving the goals and objectives established by the General Plan, will attract businesses than can expedite the delivery of essential goods to consumers and businesses in Menifee and beyond the City boundary, and will provide improved infrastructure that will enhance the quality of life for the City’s residents by linking land use, transportation, and infrastructure development.
The City Council has the option of either passing or refusing to pass the proposed resolution. If the resolution is passed, City Staff and Special Counsel will proceed to initiate eminent domain proceedings, which ultimately would lead to a determination of the fair market value of the property interests proposed to be taken through court proceedings. If the City Council does not pass the resolution, the City can either (i) commit to acquiring the identified right of way from the property owners only by negotiated acquisition, (ii) decide not to implement the Project, or (iii) provide alternative direction to Staff.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with this action. All costs associated with the eminent domain process, or any property purchase to support the Project, would be borne entirely by the developer. The developer would deposit funds with the City as the public agency exercising its legal authority to acquire private property for public use. The eminent domain proceedings are ultimately expected to lead to a determination of the fair market value of the property interests proposed to be taken. Notably, however, the City had the property appraised for purposes of its Government Code section 7267.2 offer. The City’s independent appraisal valued the property interests at $196,000, and a temporary construction easement cost for a period of six months at $9,170.70, as of October 27, 2025. Additional costs would be incurred in legal fees, appraisal fees, and court costs relating to the initiation of eminent domain proceedings if the Resolution is approved and the matter proceeds to court.

Section 4: Environmental Review. The environmental effects of the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the environmental review for the Menifee Commerce Center. The City of Menifee was the lead agency for this environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
The City publicly noticed its decision to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) and hold a public scoping meeting for the Project by noticing the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and distributed the Notice of Preparation (“NOP”) to various agencies and surrounding property owners and residents in accordance with CEQA requirements. The NOP comment period was from November 14, 2017, to December 14, 2017.

The City prepared a Final Environmental Impact Report, consisting of all of the comment letters received during the 45-day public review and comment period on the Draft EIR, written responses to those comments, and revisions and errata to the Draft EIR.
On May 13, 2020, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee determined that the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan pursuant to Government Code section 65402.

Section 5: The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will help to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, and improve traffic circulation and safety within the McCall Boulevard corridor.
McCall Boulevard is currently a four-lane street. The intersection of McCall Boulevard and Sherman Road will be improved to add an eastbound right turn lane onto Sherman Road to provide added capacity and improve vehicle movements through the intersection.
The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocations, and related improvements in connection with the Project will serve to fulfill McCall Boulevard ’s designation in the City’s General Plan, Roadway Network, as being a “Circulation Element” street, having an ultimate width of six lanes and functioning as an urban arterial.
Section 6: The Project is Planned and Located in a Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury. The Project is planned and located in a manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. McCall Boulevard is designated as an “Urban Arterial – 6 lanes,” one of the highest capacity roadways in the City of Menifee’s General Plan, and Sherman Road is designated as a “Major” street north of McCall Blvd. and a Collector Street south of McCall Blvd. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of a permanent easement and temporary construction easement that are necessary to accommodate street widening along McCall Boulevard and intersection improvements at Sherman Road. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or residents.
The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain storm drain utilities to accommodate the Project’s road widening.
To the extent that the project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, for the construction of public streets, sidewalks, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the subject property interests.

4 To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’ s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.
Section 7: The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The Project cannot be constructed, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.
Section 8: Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. Pursuant to Government Code section 7267.2, the City extended a written offer dated January 5, 2026, to the record owners of the Subject Property Interests. The offer letter contained an appraisal that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the records owners.
Section 9: Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated June 22, 2026, to the record owners of the Subject Property Interests. The letter advised the record owners of the City’s intent to consider at its June 17, 2026, meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owners of their right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within 15 days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owners of the Subject Property Interests that they have an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the record owners are necessary for the Project.
Section 10: Findings.

Re: NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY INTEREST LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF MCCALL BLVD. BETWEEN ENCANTO AND SHERMAN ROAD (APN 344080021)
Dear Mr. & Ms. Markou:
This notice is sent to you under the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235. This notice concerns the property located on the south side of McCall Blvd. between Encanto Drive and Sherman Road, identified as Assessor’s Parcel N umber 344-080-021. The City of Menifee has been investigating the acquisition of a certain portion of real property for the construction of improvements to McCall Boulevard and Sherman Road (“Project”). This notice is sent to advise you that the City Council of the City of Menifee will be asked to consider passage of a resolution of necessity, declaring the public interest and necessity require acquisition of certain portions of the site described above, and authorizing the use of eminent domain to acquire them.
The interests sought to be acquired are an approximate 8,882-square-foot permanent public street easement, as more specifically described in Exhibit “A -1” and depicted in Exhibit “B -1” hereto. In addition, the City seeks a temporary construction easement of six (6) months over approximately 8,734 square feet of the property, as legally described in Exhibit “A-2” and as depicted in Exhibit “B- 2” hereto. The scope and nature of the above referenced easements are described in the draft Resolution of Necessity, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit “C” hereto.
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.030 provides that the power of eminent domain may be exercised to acquire property for a proposed public project if the following conditions are established:
A. The public interest and necessity requires the project.
B. The project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury.
C. The property that sought to be acquired is necessary for the project D. The offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made to the owner of record.

On May 13, 2020, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee determined that the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan pursuant to Government Code section 65402.
On June 3, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-908, making the findings necessary to adopt the Finding of Facts, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, approve certifying the Environmental Impact Report, and directing staff to file a Notice of Determination in compliance with CEQA.
In adopting Resolution No. 20-909, the City Council found that the benefits of the Project outweigh the unavoidable environmental impacts and render acceptable each of the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. These benefits, as described in the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Consideration, include that the Project is consistent with and will contribute to achieving the goals and objectives established by the General Plan, will attract businesses than can expedite the delivery of essential goods to consumers and businesses in Menifee and beyond the City boundary, and will provide improved infrastructure that will enhance the quality of life for the City’s residents by linking land use, transportation, and infrastructure development.
Section 5: The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will help to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, and improve traffic circulation and safety within the McCall Boulevard corridor.
McCall Boulevard is currently a four-lane street. The intersection of McCall Boulevard and Sherman Road will be improved to add an eastbound right turn lane onto Sherman Road to provide added capacity and improve vehicle movements through the intersection. The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocations, and related improvements in connection with the Project will serve to fulfill McCall Boulevard ’s designation in the City’s General Plan, Roadway Network, as being a “Circulation Element” street, having an ultimate width of six lanes and functioning as an urban arterial.
Section 6: The Project is Planned and Located in a Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury. The Project is planned and located in a manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. McCall Boulevard is designated as an “Urban Arterial – 6 lanes,” one of the highest capacity roadways in the City of Menifee’s General Plan, and Sherman Road is designated as a “Major” street north of McCall Blvd. and a Collector Street south of McCall Blvd. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan.

The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of a permanent easement and temporary construction easement that are necessary to accommodate street widening along McCall Boulevard and intersection improvements at Sherman Road. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or residents.
The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain storm drain utilities to accommodate the Project’s road widening.
To the extent that the project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, for the construction of public streets, sidewalks, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the subject property interests.
To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’ s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.
Section 7: The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The Project cannot be constructed, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.
Section 8: Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. Pursuant to Government Code section 7267.2, the City extended a written offer dated January 5, 2026, to the record owners of the Subject Property Interests. The offer letter contained an appraisal that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the records owners.
Section 9: Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated June 22, 2026, to the record owners of the Subject Property Interests. The letter advised the record owners of the City’s intent to consider at its June 17, 2026, meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the Item Title: 11.1

acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owners of their right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within 15 days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owners of the Subject Property Interests that they have an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the record owners are necessary for the Project.
Section 10: Findings. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including the agenda report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:
A. The public interest and necessity require the Project;
B. The Project is planned and located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury;
C. The Subject Property Interests are necessary for the Project; and
D. The offer required by Government Code section 7267.2 has been made to the record owners of the Subject Property Interests that the City seeks to acquire.
Section 11: Existing Public Uses. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 1240.510 and 1240.610, to the extent that any portion of the Subject Property Interests are already devoted to a public use, the use proposed by this Project is a more necessary public use than the use to which the Subject Property Interests, or any portion thereof, are already devoted, or, in the alternative, are a compatible public use which will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which the Subject Property Interests, or any portions thereof, are already devoted.
Section 12: Incorporation of Agena Report and Documents Referenced Therein.
The findings and declarations contained in this Resolution are based upon the record before the City Council, including the agenda report, and all documents referenced therein, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference, testimony, and/or comments submitted to the City by the records owners or their representative(s). These documents include, but are not limited to, the City of Menifee General Plan, Circulation Element, the offer letter sent to the record owners pursuant to Government Code sections 7267.2, the notice of the hearing to consider the Resolution of Necessity pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235, and environmental documents relating to the Project.

The property interests that the City of Menifee seeks to acquire are an 8,882 square-foot permanent public street and utility easement and a 8,734 square-foot temporary construction easement.
David Houghton, a licensed real estate appraiser with Bender Rosenthal Incorporated, inspected and appraised your property for the purpose of determining fair market value of the easements.

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Appraisal Report dated November 25, 2025, which is the basis for the amount established as just compensation.

foot permanent public street and utility easement and the 8,734 temporary construction easement across portions of your property for $196,000. This is an offer to purchase the easements free of all liens and other encumbrances, except as may be agreed to by the City. This offer is also based on the assumption that the property is free of contamination and requires no remediation. If contamination is found, this offer will be subject to amendment.
If you do not agree with the appraised value determined by the appraisal, please also be advised that under Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.025, the City will reimburse the owner of the property reasonable costs, up to $5,000, to secure his or her own independent appraisal. If you wish to take advantage of this reimbursement, there are conditions and various qualifications that must be met. Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions.
If you accept this offer, the City will transmit to you a purchase-and-sale agreement for the easements prior to opening escrow. The acquisition of the easements is subject to ratification of the offer by execution of the purchase-and-sale agreement by the City and subject to the City's review of the preliminary title report, if any, and acceptance of the conveyance document. The City will pay all incidental expenses associated with the closing of escrow, including any recording fees.
Please note that the proceeds related to the purchase of the easements may be subject to payment demands for county taxes, assessment liens, federal and state tax liens, creditor judgments, and beneficiaries of trust deeds.
In the event negotiations fail to result in an agreement, and City Council ultimately decides to authorize attempted acquisition of the property through eminent domain, you will have the right to have the amount of just compensation to be paid by the City for the property fixed by a court of law. Please be advised that in such event, the terms of this offer and the contents of this letter may be excluded from consideration as an offer of settlement, under California Evidence Code sections 1152, 1154, or other applicable provisions of law. California law requires that you be provided with an informational brochure regarding eminent domain, which is enclosed for your review.
This is provided to you for informational purposes only and is not to be construed as legal advice.

Fair Market Value
[Source: Section 1263.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure] A) The fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available.
B) The fair market value of property taken for which there is no relevant, comparable market is its value on the date of valuation as determined by any method of valuation that is just and equitable.
The Code goes on to say that:
The fair market value of the property taken shall not include any increase or decrease in the value of the property that is attributable to any of the following:

VALUATION / RESEARCH OVERVIEW
The following is an overview of the valuation process and research involved for the larger parcel and comparable sales.
The valuation of the property involved an investigation and analysis of the neighborhood, as well as the entire regional area, for social, economic, governmental, and environmental forces and trends that affect or could influence property values.
• The property was inspected on April 2, 2025 by Craig Strawmier, MAI, AI-GRS from Bender Rosenthal, Inc. The owner was offered to attend the inspection, but did not accompany the appraiser. David C. Houghton, MAI made an off-site inspection of the property on July 18, 2025, which is the last time the property was visually inspected.
• Research the area, community, and neighborhood to determine market influences/conditions. • Research of public records to verify information about the subject property and comparables to ensure they are factually accurate and that there are no terms or additional influences that affect price or value. • Research zoning and general plans obtained from the City of Menifee Planning Department and other department websites, and research of the retail market. • Review of applicable soil surveys, flood and seismic hazard areas from appropriate source data. • Review public records obtained from the various city and county governmental agencies including the Planning Department, Assessor’s Office, and Tax Collector’s Office. • A search of specific property transfers occurring during the past five years was conducted for the subject property.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
The valuation process is a systematic series of steps, appropriate for the type of assignment, as the framework to produce a well-supported opinion of value reflecting all of the pertinent factors that influence the value of the property being appraised. Traditionally, specific methodology within the three approaches to value are applied to derive indications of real property value. One or more approaches are used depending on which are necessary to produce credible results.
Reference: The Appraisal of Real Estate, 15th Edition, Chapter 4
VALUATION APPROACHES
There are typically three approaches to value that may be used in the real property valuation process. They are the Sales Comparison Approach, Income Approach, and Cost Approach. Each approach provides an indicated value that is reconciled into a final estimate of value for the subject based on the interests appraised, the defined objective of the valuation and the stated definition of value. The analysis may include one, two or all three approaches to value based on the data available, the type of property and appraisal valuation problem.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
A value indication is derived by comparing the property being appraised to similar properties that have sold recently; making qualitative or quantitative comparisons to the subject; then applying units of comparisons to indicate a value for the larger parcel or remainder parcel. The sales comparison approach may be used to value improved properties, vacant land, or land being considered as though vacant; it is the most common and preferred method of valuation when an adequate supply of comparable sales is a vailable. Sales, listings and current escrows of comparables were considered in this analysis. Reliance has been placed on closed transactions.
INCOME APPROACH
A value indication is derived for income -producing property by converting its anticipated benefits (cash flows and reversion) into a value for real property interests. Typically, the annual net income is capitalized at a market -derived capitalization rate to estimate the desired value. The income approach is most often used for income producing properties or real estate acquired as an investment. The Income Approach was not utilized to value the subject as this is not a typical method utilized to value vacant land.
COST APPROACH
A value indication is derived for a property by estimating the current cost to construct a replacement/reproduction of the existing structure(s); deducting depreciation from all sources; and adding the estimated land value. The cost approach is most often used when valuing properties with new or relatively new improvements and special use properties. The Cost Approach is not considered to be applicable to this appraisal problem because this is not a typical approach employed to estimate the value of vacant land.

PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
The property rights appraised constitute the fee simple estate interest.
FEE SIMPLE INTEREST
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.1
RIGHT OF WAY APPRAISALS
A valuation premise applicable in condemnation appraisals. The “unit rule”, a valuation premise applicable in condemnation appraisals, has two aspects. The first dealing with ownership interests and the second dealing with physical components. The first aspect of the rule, also referred to as the undivided fee rule , requires that property be valued as a whole rather than by the sum of the values of the various interests into which it may have been carved.
The second aspect of the rule is that different phy sical elements or components of a tract of land are not to be separately valued and added together.
Valuation of the major structures may be omitted if the project requirements do not impact the structures and do not alter their highest and best use and contributory value to the valuation assignment.
PARTIAL ACQUISITION INTEREST ANALYSIS
The partial acquisition interest analysis starts with an opinion of the fair market value for the undivided fee interest of the larger parcel using the most applicable method for valuing similar properties. Once the larger parcel value is estimated the following partial acquisition appraisal methodology is utilized:
• Value the part acquired is based on the contributory value in the larger parcel. • Value of the remainder parcel as part of the larger parcel, is based on its contributory value developed in the larger parcel.
• Value the remainder parcel, after the acquisition and before benefits. When this value is compared to the value of remainder as part of the larger parcel any loss in market value is the measure of damages. • Value the remainder parcel, after the acquisition with benefits. When this value is compared to the value of the remainder without benefits any gain in market value is the measure of benefits. • The opinion of fair market value includes the value of the partial acquisition and the net damages.
REPORT TYPE
The opinion of fair market value is reported in an Appraisal Report format as defined by USPAP.

REGIONAL AREA ANALYSIS
GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS
The subject property is in the City of Menifee, within Riverside County. This county is a part of the Riverside -San Bernardino – Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Generally, this area is referred to as the Inland Empire, and it comprises both Ri verside and San Bernardino counties. This area covers more than 27,000 square miles and has a population of approximately 4.5 million. Most of the area's population is located in southwestern San Bernardino County and northwestern Riverside County, which are generally adjacent to Orange and Los Angeles Counties. At the end of the 19th century, the Inland Empire was a major center of agriculture, including citrus, dairy, and winemaking.
Agriculture declined through the 20th century, and a rapidly growing population, led by families migrating in search of affordable housing, has led to more residential, industrial, and commercial development.
Social, economic, governmental, and environmental forces influence property value since real estate is an immobile asset. In this section, an examination of these locational factors provides the context for the valuation of the subject properties. The subject properties are situated in San Bernardino County. The area analysis begins with regional data and relevant trends.
Physical boundaries between Los Angeles and the Inland Empire (IE) from west to east are the San Jose Hills splitting the San Gabriel Valley from the Pomona Valley, leading to the urban populations centered in the San Bernardino Valley.
From the south to north, the Santa Ana Mountains physically divide Orange County from Riverside County. The Santa Rosa Mountains, as well as the Southern California portion of the Sonoran Desert, physically divide Riverside County from San Diego County. Some definitions for the IE consist of the Chino Valley, Coachella Valley, Cucamonga Valley, Menifee Valley, Murrieta Valley, Perris Valley, San Jacinto Valley, Temecula Valley, Pomona Valley, and Victor Valley.
Incorporated cities within the County of Riverside include Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Cathedral City, Coachella, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Eastvale, Hemet, Indian Wells, Indio, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, La Quinta, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Norco, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Perris, Rancho Mirage, Riverside, San Jacinto, Temecula and Wildomar. The name for the county itself was taken from the City of Riverside, which is the county seat.
Incorporated cities within the county of San Bernardino include Adelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, Chino Hills, Chino, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Hesperia, Highland, Loma Linda, Montclair, Needles, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, Twentynine Palms, Upland, Victorville, Yucaipa and Yucca Valley. The city of San Bernardino serves as the county seat for San Bernardino County.
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation in the region has not kept pace with the rapidly growing county population. Many of the existing freeways were completed in the late 1970s, except for the segment of the Foothill Freeway, State Route 210 (SR-210), between San Dimas and San Bernardino, which was completed in July 2007. However, new freeways or highway "fix - ups" are being planned including the construction of Mid County Parkway between Perris and San Jacinto or the addition of toll lanes on I -15 through heavily urbanized portio ns of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Other problems exist, however, including the imbalance between housing and job availability. The Inland Empire population grew as a result of affordable housing, at least relative to the rest of Southern California.

However, most of the higher -paying jobs are located in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange counties. Thus, many workers must drive daily from the Inland Empire to their jobs in these counties – sometimes up to two hours in each direction. As the population increases, traffic congestion is projected to increase.
Unlike many major metropolitan areas, the Inland Empire has minimal public transportation. Due to the large physical size of the region, most people use automobiles for convenient travel. Fewer than 5% of the Inland Empire's working- age residents use public transportation to get to work.
Omnibus in San Bernardino County and Riverside Transit Agency in Riverside County also provide bus service in the area. Currently, however, many of these bus routes run one to two hours apart, and some routes stop service in the early evening or may not run-on weekends.
Local agencies are working to increase the use of public transportation in the Inland Empire. Several projects have moved forward and opened in the 2010s to improve transit accessibility in the region. Major projects include the Perris Valley portion of the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line, the San Bernardino Transit Center, and the Omnitrans sbX Green Line, which connects the cities of Loma Linda and San Bernardino, two universities, and the Loma Linda VA Hospital to the San Bernardino Transit Center. In addition to sbX, there are other express services available to public transportation users in the region. RTA operates a BRT -lite system in the RapidLink Gold Line, which runs from UCR to the Corona Transit Center.
The metropolitan area's first rapid transit line, a new bus rapid transit system, was launched in April 2014. The new line, dubbed San Bernardino Express (sbX), offers rapid transit service that functions like light -rails, with stations, designated sbX lanes, and passengers purchasing tickets before boarding. Stations are approximately one mile apart with its northern terminus in Verdemont and southern terminus at Loma Linda's VA hospital, passing through downtown San Bernardino and the city's Hospitality Lane Business District. Metrolink offers rail service to Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties.
Two commercial airports serve the Inland Empire. Ontario Airport (ONT) is near the Los Angeles area. Further east in Riverside County is the Palm Springs Airport (PSP). Other airports in the Greater Los Angeles area include Los Angeles (LAX), Burbank (BUR), Long Beach (LGB), and Santa Ana (SNA / Orange County). There are also several general aviation airports across the two-county region.
The region is making some progress in developing dedicated bicycle commuter and recreation trails. The largest of these, the Santa Ana River bicycle path, currently connects Corona to Huntington Beach and is eventually projected to stretch for 84 miles to Redlands when completed. A shorter trail exists along the former path of the Pacific Electric Railway from Claremont to Rialto.

Population projections indicate that the population in San Bernardino County is expected to decrease by 6.6% by the year 2060. This is compared to the much higher rate in Riverside County, projected at 9.5 5% over the same period.
Both counties within the Inland Empire are projected to grow at a higher rate than the state as a whole, which is projected to grow by only 1.9% by 2060.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The unemployment rate in the Riverside- San Bernardino-Ontario MSA was 6.1 percent in August 2025, down from a revised 6.4 percent in July 2025, and below the year -ago estimate of 5.2 percent. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 5. 8 percent for California and 4.5 percent for the nation during the same period. The unemployment rate was 6.3 percent in Riverside County, and 5.9 percent in San Bernardino County.

INLAND EMPIRE RETAIL MARKET
Retail market fundamentals in the Inland Empire remain tight from a historical perspective but have softened over the past two years. Space availability has expanded approximately 100 basis points from a decade's -plus low, reaching
6.7% as of the first quarter of 2025. Nevertheless, availability is still down substantially from an early pandemic -era peak of 8.1%. Retailers expanded in the market to meet a rise in resident buying power driven by higher -income households moving into the area for its affordability. Assuming the economy continues to expand at a slow pace, availability in the market will remain compressed.
However, net absorption ran negative throughout 2024 and into 2025. Closed furniture stores, department stores, and bankrupt retailers, including Big Lots, 99 Cents Only, and Rite Aid, drove the recent occupancy losses. Additionally, several big-box stores were closed at the opening of 2025. Absorption is not likely to ramp up in the next few quarters as leasing activity remains a bit subdued.
Market observers have noted that a lack of competitive available space contributed to weaker leasing and slower retail tenant occupancy expansion. Subdued leasing and negative absorption also reflect a slowdown in local economic expansion. Employment growth slowed to 1.6% in 2023 and is on pace to rise near 2% in 2024. Meanwhile, migration into the market has slowed from pandemic -era highs. New quarterly retail leasing volume averaged under 1 million square feet in 2023 -24, declining slightly from 2021 -22 l evels and falling 25% short of the market's prior decade quarterly average.
Owners are pushing market rents higher, but at a slower pace than in recent years as space availability inches higher.
Average market asking rent levels increased around 2% in 2024, below historical averages, following an above-average 5% increase in 2023 and a record 6% increase in 2022.
Rents for retail space in the Inland Empire are rising, but the pace of increase has moderated from record levels as availability has lifted slightly higher and leasing has moderated. Rent growth has decelerated from 4.8% in 2023 to
2.9% in 2024, and measures 2.0% over the trailing year as of the first quarter of 2025.
Retail development in the Inland Empire has been moderate over the past ten years and is concentrated in submarkets where housing development has been more active. Deliveries have generally trended lower since 2018 and, in 2023 and 2024, fell slightly short of the market's prior decade average with roughly 700,000 square feet of space completed.
Deliveries should remain consistent into 2025, with another 700,000 square feet schueduled for completion.
Rent growth among neighborhood centers registers slightly above market average, at 2.0% due to historically compressed availability in the sector. Conversely, availability among general retail space has expanded from two years ago, and rent growth in the sector has dissipated to 1.3%.
Due to a severe downturn in rents that lingered for over five years following the global financial crisis, it took more than 15 years for retail rents in the Inland Empire to recover to their pre-Great Financial Crisis levels, a feat reached in 2022. Rents average $27.00/square foot, triple-net as of the first quarter of 2025, overtaking the national average again in 2019. Local rent growth outpaced the national average from 2014 -23 but decelerated at a quicker pace in 2024, falling below it for the first time in a decade. Based on a continual expansion of vacancy, rent growth is forecast to be moderate in 2025.

Sales activity among retail assets in the Inland Empire ramped up in the second half of 2024. Annual sales volume in 2024 totaled $1.2 billion, matching 2023's total and falling below the prior decade's annual average of $1.5 billion.
Activity could continue to increase heading into 2025 as supply/demand fundamentals tighten.
Higher interest rates and stricter lending standards have cooled investment among institutional investors and REITs especially, which only account for 6% of acquisition volume over the past three years, down from 12% historically.
Users account for 10% of buyer volume in the past three years, up slightly from historical averages.
Cap rates in the Inland Empire trend significantly above Southern California's coastal markets, where acquisition demand remains stronger. As yields adjust to higher capital costs, cap rates have expanded by more than 100 basis points from a low of 5.2% in 2022 into the 6% range in 2024. Pricing for strip centers fell to an average of $308/square foot in 2024, down from a peak of $315/square foot in 2023. Neighborhood center cap rates average 6.5% in 2024, and pricing fell to $317/square foot. Truck stops typically trade at lower cap rates, in the 5% range.
Center Point Plaza in Yucaipa, a 25,000 -square foot neighborhood center developed in 2007 and fully leased to a diverse mix of tenants with staggered leases, was acquired for $10.8 million, or $374/square foot, at a 7.0% cap rate in November 2024. The center was marketed as a value-add investment. Sun Lakes Village in Banning, a 97,400-square foot center developed in 2016 and fully leased to Marshalls, Hobby Lobby, and Big 5 Sporting Goods, sold for $8.7 million, or $90/square foot, at a 7.2% cap rate in De cember 2024. Average blended rates at the center were $0.80/square foot
Single-tenant net leased assets are still attracting robust investment interest. A 38,800 square foot building, 35914 Winchester Rd in the French Valley Marketplace developed in 2024, and triple -net leased to EOS Fitness for 20 years with an option to extend, traded for $13.3 million, or $342/square foot at a 6.3% cap rate, in July 2024.
Farther South down SR 79, near I-15, a 129,000-square foot portion of the Promenade Temecula shopping center, fully leased to Round1, Dick's Sporting Goods, and SoCal Auto Style with a 7.4 -year weighted average lease term, was acquired by AXS Opportunity Fund for $24 million, or $186/square foot, at a 9.4% cap rate on existing income, and a proforma cap rate of 10.3%, in August 2024. The sale also included a future 8,000 square foot building preleased to Texas Roadhouse that is on the verge of breaking ground.
SOUTH RIVERSIDE RETAIL SUBMARKET
Housing development is rampant in Temecula and Murrieta, and the area is attracting new residents with its affordability. In addition to a growing population, rising tourism from bordering San Diego and Orange Counties to over 50 wineries in the area suppo rts retailers in the area, which are predominantly clustered around the I -15 and I -215 freeways.
Demand for retail space has been strong as a result, and availability has declined from over 8% in 2020 to 5.3% as of the first quarter of 2025. Tenant demand for new inventory has been strong, with deliveries rarely remaining vacant for long, if not reaching completion already pre-leased.
Retail development across the Inland Empire is highly concentrated in South Riverside, as developers have been attracted to the market's robust housing pipeline and strong retail fundamentals. Supply will grow significantly over the next five years, bolste red by the area's strong population growth. Tenant demand for new inventory has been strong, with deliveries rarely remaining vacant for long, if not reaching completion already pre-leased.

MARKET RENT, SALE PRICE, VACANCY & INVENTORY
RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS CONCLUSION
The Inland Empire retail market has been showing somewhat mixed signals lately. Market fundamentals in the Inland Empire remain tight from a historical perspective but have softened over the past two years and net absorption ran negative throughout 2024 an d into 2025. Rates are still increasing, but at a slower pace than what was observed in recent years prior. The South Riverside submarket appears to be stronger than the market as a whole, largely influenced by the strong housing development and population growth. For this reason, the subject’s area is still in a healthy position for future development, with significant expectations for new development into the foreseeable future.

INLAND EMPIRE MULTIFAMILY MARKET
Absorption of Inland Empire apartments increased in 2025 as a wave of new supply is reaching completion. Absorption increased from approximately 900 units in the fourth quarter of 2024 to over 1,500 units in the first quarter of 2025.
Absorption outpaced supply growth in the first quarter.
Including the new apartments in lease-up, overall vacancy has ticked down to 6.1% as of the second quarter of 2025.
Vacancy among stabilized apartments peaked at the end of 2023 and has trended lower since then, falling below 5% in recent quarters. Absorpt ion remains positive due to ongoing job and population growth. Also, affordability is improving as rising incomes catch up to higher rents. Absorption is still trending above historical averages, boosted by the lease-up of recently delivered high-quality apartment complexes, which have added capacity for more renters in the growing market.
Residents have been continually drawn to the market's affordability in comparison to L.A., Orange County, and San Diego. Lease-up rates in new high-quality apartments accelerated in 2024 and into 2025, and vacancy among low- and mid-quality apartment buildings is declining after rising slightly above historical averages in 2023.
Deliveries have ramped up as developers' complete construction projects initiated mid -pandemic in response to an initial spike in demand. Over 4,100 units were delivered in 2024, representing a multi-decade high. Another 3,100 units are forecast for completion in 2025.
Market rents have only increased moderately following a 14% hike in 2021. Rent growth fell below 4% in 2022 and to
0.5% in 2023, increasing to 1.2% in 2024. Stronger rent growth could be in store for 2025 now that demand has rebounded and stabilized vacancy is declining. Furthermore, supply additions are set to moderate in the years ahead.
Rents are forecasted to increase by over 3% in 2025 and closer to 4% in 2026, more in line with historical market averages.
Apartment development is geographically concentrated on the western side of the Inland Empire near job centers and in closer proximity LA. Recent deliveries have placed upward pressure on vacancies in Southwest Riverside County, specifically in Murrieta an d Temecula, and further north in Moreno Valley, which falls in the San Jacinto Submarket boundary. Conversely, supply growth risk remains limited in Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Riverside/Corona, and Palm Springs.

MULTIFAMILY MARKET ANALYSIS CONCLUSION
The Inland Empire has historically drawn residents from nearby coastal regions due to its relative affordability. A large amount of new construction occurred as a result of significant inward migration due to the COVID pandemic. The San Jacinto submarket has been experiencing increases in vacancy due to the recent additions to inventory. Construction peaked in the submarket in 2023, and no projects are currently underway. Overall, market conditions indicate that the submarket needs time to absorb recent construction before any significant amount of new construction becomes feasible, moving forward.

Site Access Access to the subject site is considered good overall due to its proximity with Interstate 215 and corner location at a signalized intersection.
Exposure & Visibility Exposure of the subject is above average with its corner location along McCall Boulevard (a thoroughfare) and Sherman Road (a connector).
Utilities Electricity and EMWD water are stubbed to the site. Multiple utility boxes were observed on the property, although we could not verify if any additional utilities were stubbed.
Zoning The subject is located in the Economic Development Corridor- McCall Boulevard (EDC- MB) zone which is envisioned as a mix of office, medical, and residential uses (assisted living, senior apartments, townhomes, etc.) that would be compatible with the Regional Medical Center and would provide health-related services in close proximity to Sun City residents.
A zoning change does not appear to be likely for the subject.

General Plan Designation Economic Development Corridor- McCall Boulevard (EDC-MB) per the City of Menifee.
The EDC designation is intended to provide economic vitality and flexibility in land use options to promote economic development along the City’s major corridors. The Economic Development Corridor areas identified on the Land Use Plan are intended to func tion differently than the typical patterns of segregated uses in that the distribution of uses is generally more concentrated and integrated to enhance the functionality of a large area. Economic Development Corridor areas are generally located in the larg e, undeveloped areas adjacent to I -215 and along the City’s major corridors (such as Newport, Scott and Ethanac Roads as well as McCall Boulevard), since land uses in these areas have a higher likelihood to transition over time in comparison to other areas of the City. It is intended that the majority of the City’s new development (that is not already planned as part of an approved specific plan) will be located in these areas, to promote infill development and to preserve the rural areas that are an integral part of Menifee’s community character.
The McCall Boulevard sub area is envisioned as a mix of office, medical, and residential uses (assisted living, senior apartments, townhomes, etc.) that would be compatible with the Regional Medical Center and would provide health -related services in clos e proximity to Sun City residents.
Improvements The subject property has no building improvements.
Site Improvements The subject property has no site improvements.
Flood Plain Zone X (Unshaded). This is referenced by Panel Number 06065C2060H, dated August 18, 2014. Zone X (unshaded) is a moderate and minimal risk area. Areas of moderate or minimal hazard are studied based upon the principal source of flood in the area.
However, buildings in these zones could be flooded by severe, concentrated rainfall coupled with inadequate local drainage systems. Local storm water drainage systems are not normally considered in a community’s flood insurance study. The failure of a local drainage system can create areas of high flood risk within these zones. Flood insurance is available in participating communities, but is not required by regulation in these zones. Nearly 25% of all flood claims filed are for structures located within these zones. Minimal risk areas outside the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains.
No BFEs or base flood depths are shown within these zones. (Zone X (unshaded) is used on new and revised maps in place of Zone C.)

Seismic The subject property is not within a Fault -Rupture Hazard Zone (formerly an Alquist - Priolo Special Studies Zone), according to Special Publication 42, "Fault -Rupture Hazard Zones in California", published by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, revised 2007. No active faults are located on or in the proximity of the property. However, strong earthquakes generated along any of the active California faults may affect the site depending on the characteristics of the earthquake and the location of the epicenter. In general, the effects should be confined to shaking and/or acceleration (shock waves) and potential damage to structures should be minimized by employing adequate design and construction procedures. Current engineering design, and construction practices, such as the Uniform Building Code, provides the opportunity to reduce earthquake related hazards.

HIGHEST & BEST USE
Highest and best use may be defined as the reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value.
There are four analysis criteria used to develop the highest and best use. These are:
1. Legally Permissible Use
What uses are permitted legally under existing zoning, building codes, historic district controls, environmental regulations, deed (private) restrictions, and long-term lease provisions on the site in question?
2. Physically Possible Use
What uses of the site are physically possible, given its size, shape, area, terrain, soils composition, accessibility, assembly potential, and risk potential from natural disasters?
3. Financially Feasible Use
Which possible and permissible uses will produce a positive net return to the owner of the property?
4. Maximally Productive Use
Among the feasible uses, which use will produce the highest residual land value consistent with the rate of return warranted by the market for that use?
This section develops the highest and best use of the subject property As-Vacant.
AS VACANT ANALYSIS
LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE USES
Private restrictions, zoning, general plan designation, building codes, historic district controls, and environmental regulations are considered, if applicable to the subject site. The legal factors influencing the highest and best use of the subject site are primarily government regulations such as zoning ordinances or general plan designations.
Per the City of Menifee, the subject property is zoned EDC -MB (Economic Development Corridor McCall Boulevard).
This zone is envisioned as a mix of office, medical, and residential uses (assisted living, senior apartments, townhomes, etc.) that would be compatible with the Regional Medical Center and would provide health -related services in close proximity to Sun City residents. This zone allows various commercial uses, as well as multifamily residential development per AB 2011 and SB 6. Additional uses are allowed with the approval of a conditional use permit.
Menifee’s General Plan land use designation for the subject also refers to Economic Development Corridor – McCall Boulevard. The General Plan policy document states that the intent of the Economic Development Corridor designation is to identify areas where a mixture of residential, commercial, office, civic, industrial, entertain ment, educational, and/or recreational uses or other uses is planned. Both horizontal and vertical mixed uses are permitted. In general, areas designated EDC are envisioned to devel op primarily as nonresidential uses, with residential uses playing a supporting role. Residential uses shall be integrated vertically or horizontally with other uses and shall not be allowed as stand -alone projects. New development, including residential m ixed use, shall encourage a balance of retail, services, and public/private open spaces. Residential uses shall not be allowed directly adjacent to the freeway.

Overall, the uses legally permissible on the subject property are all those uses detailed within the Economic Development Corridor – McCall Boulevard zoning and General Plan land use designations , which are generally for a mix of commercials .
PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE USES
The test of what is physically possible for the subject site considers physical and locational characteristics that influence its highest and best use. In terms of physical features, the subject site totals 3.99-acres (173,804 SF), it has a generally rectangular shape and level topography. The site has above average exposure and good overall access. The immediate neighborhood has a variety of land uses. Overall, there are no physical limitations that would prohibit the development of any of the by-right uses on the site previously shown in the legally permissible section.
FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE/MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE USES
A proposed property improvement must be able to deliver an income return that, in turn, generates a market value sufficient to pay for the development costs, undertaking of the risks involved, and a profit appropriate for the development. The previously mentioned uses include commercial and multifamily residential uses. As discussed in the Market Analysis section of this report, both the retail (commercial) and multifamily markets have seen growth in recent years, although the outlook for multifamily development is indicative of a slowdown, while retail development is anticipated to be strong into the foreseeable future. For this reason, the financially feasible/maximally productive use of the subject is for commercial development.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE CONCLUSION, AS IF VACANT
Considering all of the preceding factors, it is concluded that the highest and best use of the site, as if vacant, is for commercial development.

VALUATION
VALUATION PREMISE
The opinion of value will be developed in accordance with accepted valuation principles, consistent with California eminent domain law (Code of Civil Procedure 1230.010). Every effort has been made to conform to The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real P roperty Acquisition Policies Act, 1970 as amended; the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation; and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute. In addition, we intend to comply with applicable eminent domain laws.
The three recognized approaches to value are the cost approach, sales comparison approach, and income capitalization approach.
We have utilized the Sales Comparison Approach to develop the opinion of the fair market value for the larger parcel and the remainder parcel(s). The Sales Comparison Approach compares the similar properties that have recently sold in the market area to the larger parcel and is usually the preferred method of valuation. The development of the Income and Cost Approaches are not necessary for credible assignment results, and the valuation of the larger parcel is not weakened by the exclusion of the Income and Cost approaches.
The quantitative adjustment process (using paired sales) requires an abundance of market data to develop the monetary or percentage adjustments for the varying economic and physical characteristics. The research of the current market and the lack of sufficient relevant sales data to develop adjustments, we have elected to develop a qualitative analysis. More specifically, a narrative analysis for the economic and physical characteristics of the comparables is developed for comparison with the subject property. Comparable data is ranked and then the subject is bracketed by the most comparable sales.
The potential of project influence will be carefully considered. This applies to the Value of the Larger Parcel before acquisition. Also, we will consider appropriate general rises in market value resulting from the indirect benefit compiled over the last several years. The project is constructed in phases which has led to advanced public knowledge and a portion of the increases may be considered. The analysis of the comparable data will not reflect project influence.
The proposed acquisition as related to the larger parcel and remainder parcel as land was analyzed. The current use (vacant land) is not affected by the acquisition. Further, no change in the highest and best use results from the proposed acquisition or construction in the manner proposed. As such, the larger parcel is valued as land only. It is our opinion that credible results can be achieved with the valuation of land only including the presence and valuation of minor site improvements in the partial acquisition.
VALUATION OF THE LARGER PARCEL
We have estimated the fair market value of the underlying land at its highest and best use as vacant via the sales comparison approach. The sales comparison approach is based on the premise that the buyer would pay no more for a specific property than the cost of obtaining a propert y with the same quality, utility, and perceived benefits of ownership. It is based on the principles of supply and demand, balance, substitution and externalities. The following steps describe the applied process of the sales comparison approach.

• The market in which the subject property competes is investigated; comparable sales, contracts for sale and current offerings are reviewed.
• The most pertinent data is further analyzed, and the quality of the transaction is determined. • The most meaningful unit of value for the subject property is determined which is the price per SF. • Each comparable sale is analyzed and, where appropriate, adjusted to account for differences in the subject property.
• The value indication of each comparable sale is analyzed, and the data reconciled for a final indication of value via the sales comparison approach.
A thorough search was made for similar land sales in the area.

LAND SALES COMPARISON DISCUSSION
The following analysis identifies the similarities and differences between comparable properties and the larger parcel.
The elements of comparison include property rights; financing terms; conditions of sale (motivation); expenditures after sale; market conditions (sale date); location; and physical, economic and legal characteristics. The most relevant unit of comparison for competing commercial land is the $/ SF. All of the comparable sales presented in this section were reported on this basis.
In developing a qualitative analysis of the sales data, we observed a lack of adequate and relevant additional data to develop quantitative adjustments. As a result, our analysis will arrive at an economic position within the data.

Land Sale 1 - This is the sale of 15.15 acres of commercial land located at 26155 Ynez Rd in Temecula. The property sold on January 7, 2025 for $10,800,000 or $16.37/SF in an all cash deal. Adjacent uses include office and industrial uses to the north, a Sky Zone trampo line park to the south, office development to the east and Interstate 15 to the west. The property is zoned SC, Service Commercial by the City of Temecula. At the time of sale the property did not have any approvals or entitlements, per the buyer’s broker . The broker was under a n NDA, so he could not disclose what the buyer intends to do with the site. The property was listed on the open market, but the buyer’s broker could not confirm how long it was listed; however, CoStar indicates the property was listed for 2,029 days. Utilit ies were stubbed to the site and curb; gutter and sidewalk off-site improvements were completed at the time of sale. The level site was raw land at the time of sale that was graded in the 1990’s and there was nothing unusual about the property or the transaction that impacted the sale price, per the buyer’s broker. The site is located in Flood Zone X (Unshaded).
The broker indicated sale prices have been relatively stable to slightly increasing over the last 12-18 months.
The slightly superior exposure , access, all utilities stubbed to the site and complete off -site improvements are more than offset by the substantially larger size(inferior). Overall, this comparable is considered to be inferior to the subject, indicating a unit value for the subject above $16.37/SF is appropriate.
Land Sale 2 - This is the sale of 2.03 acres of commercial land located on Bradley Road, near Augusta Dr in Menifee.
The property sold on April 1, 2024 for $2,250,000 or $25.45/SF. The broker indicated he thought the buyer obtained a conventional loan. Adjacent uses include retail and auto service uses to the north, vacant commercial land and a senior living community to the south, Interstate 15 to the east and a fire station and dental office to the west. The property is zoned CR, Commercial Retail by the City of Menife e. At the time of sale the property did not have any approvals or entitlements, per the seller’s broker. The broker indicated the buyer intends to develop a medical office on the site.
The property was listed on the open market and the broker indicated it was taken off the market after it had been listed for a while, but the broker could not confirm exactly how long it was listed; however, CoStar indicates the property was listed for 1,687 days. Nearby traffic counts on Bradley Road and exposure to Interst ate 215 indicate an average of 108,594 vehicles per day. Utilities are unknown to the broker; however, multiple adjacent sites are developed, indicating utilities are likely in the street frontage or nearby. The property did not have any curb, gutter or sidewalk off-site improvements at the time of sale. The level site was raw land at the time of sale and there was nothing unusual about the property or the transaction that impacted the sale price, per the buyer’s broker. The site is located in Flood Zone X (Unshaded). The broker indicated sale prices have been relatively stable over the last 12-18 months.
The smaller (superior) size, superior exposure, and partially complete off-site improvements indicate this comparable is superior to the subject. Overall, this comparable indicates a unit value for the subject below $25.45/SF is appropriate.
Land Sale 3 - This is the sale of 33.45 acres of commercial land located on Haun Road, near Holland Road in Menifee.
The property sold on March 5, 2024 for $13,950,360 or $9.57/SF. Public records indicates a sale price of $13,300,000, but the broker corrected the amount and indicated $13,950,360 was the correct sale price. We have utilized $13,950,360 for this comparable. The broker indicated it was an all cash deal. Adjacent uses include vacant commercial land to the north, self-storage and industrial to the south, Interstate 215 to the east and vacant commercial land and single-family residential development to the west. The property has good exposure to Interstate 215. The property is zoned EDC-CC, Economic Development Corridor - Community Core by the City of Menifee. At the time of sale the property did not have any approvals or entitlements, per the seller’s broker.

The site is located in Flood Zone X (Unshaded). The broker indicated sale prices have slightly decreased over the last 12-18 months.
The superior exposure of this comparable is more than offset by the significantly larger size(inferior), and slightly inferior access. Overall, this comparable is considered very inferior to the subject, indicating a unit value for the subject well above $9.57/SF is appropriate.
Land Sale 4 - This is the sale of 1.31 acres of commercial land located on Antelope Road, near Newport Road in Menifee.
The property is located in the Menifee Lakes Plaza shopping center, a neighborhood shopping center with some national tenants. The property sold on No vember 20, 2023 for $1,552,000 or $27.20/SF. This was part of the buyer’s 1031 exchange. Adjacent uses include retail to the north, south, east and west. Substantial single family residential development is in the immediate area as well. The property is zo ned SP, Menifee Village Specific Plan by the City of Menifee. At the time of sale the property had entitlements for a junior anchor retail building, which the buyer will not utilize to develop. The buyer will develop a restaurant with a much smaller building and more parking than the entitlements were planned for. The broker indicated the City code required the buyer to complete a major modification due to the change in square footage, even though it is significantly less. Additionally, the new building co des require additional ADA and EV parking when making any additions to parking areas. The broker believes that these costs for design and modifications in entitlement processing have likely zeroed out the benefit of the original entitlement value, other than for time. The buyer’s broker believed the entitlements contributed no value to the sale price. The property was listed on the open market; but the buyer’s broker did not know how long it was listed. Utilities were stubbed to the site and all offsites (curb, gutter and sidewalk) were completed at the time of sale with the exception of the building pad envelope. The level site was essentially a finished pad at the time of sale, except for the building pad envelope and there was nothing unusual about the property or the transaction that impacted the sale price, per the broker. The site is located in Flood Zone X (Unshaded). Nearby traffic counts on Newport Road indicate an average of 37,167 vehicles per day. The broker indicated sale prices have been fairly stable over the last 12 -18 months; however, construction costs have increased substantially.
The smaller (superior) size, superior location in a shopping center, superior exposure, all utilities stubbed to the site and completed off-site improvements including a portion of the parking lot, indicate this comparable is very superior to the subject. Overall, this comparable indicates a unit value for the subject well below $27.20/SF is appropriate.

LAND VALUE CONCLUSION
The comparables indicate a unit value, based on a general bracketing analysis, between $ 9.57 per SF and $27.20 per SF as shown below.
Sale No. Greater Than/
Less Than
Price Per
Square Foot Sale Date
Sale 4 < $27.20/ SF November 2023
Sale 2 < $25.45/ SF April 2024
The subject property is bracketed by $16.37 and $25.45 per square foot.
Sale 1 > $16.37/ SF January 2025
Sale 3 > $9.57/ SF March 2024
The subject property is bracketed by Sale 1 and Sale 2, which indicate a bracketed range between $16.37 and $25.45 per square foot, with a midpoint of $20.91 per square foot. Both bracketing sales have offsetting positive and negative characteristics. For these reasons, a near the midpoint is considered appropriate. Based upon the subject’s qualities, a value of $21.00 per SF is concluded for the subject property.
VALUE OF THE LARGER PARCEL (LAND ONLY)
The preceding analysis and development of the price per SF provides an indication of the fair market value for the larger parcel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
Based upon the location of the subject within the bounds of the project, the larger parcel is impacted by City of Menifee Street Improvement Project. Construction in the manner proposed indicates that a portion of the larger parcel will be required in fee. The City of Menifee is proposing to acquire 8,882 square feet of the subject property in fee, along the northern boundary of the subject. In addition, an 8,734 square foot area for a temporary construction easement (TCE) is also needed. The temporary construction easement will be in place for 6 months.
There are site improvements in the permanent acquisition areas , including power line poles, utility boxes, and water lines; however, as indicated by the client , the city intends to relocate the impacted site improvements and will construct and pay for the new street improvements . Therefore, this analysis does not include any impacted site improvements in the proposed acquisition area.
A summary of the planned acquisition follows:

VALUE OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
LAND
In order to facilitate the street improvement project along McCall Boulevard, the City needs to acquire a fee acquisition of a portion of the subject property along McCall Boulevard.
The property, rights, and/or interests being acquired from the larger parcel is valued based on its contributory value as part of the larger parcel. The City of Menifee is proposing to acquire a fee acquisition of 8,882 SF. The unit value of the subject was previously determined to be $21.00 per SF. The value of the proposed acquisition is presented next.
SITE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AREA
Improvements within the proposed easement area include: power line poles, utility boxes, and water lines.
However, as indicated by the client, the City intends to relocate the impacted site improvements and will construct and pay for the new street improvements. Therefore, this analysis does not include any impacted site improvements in the proposed acquisition area.
TOTAL VALUE OF THE PROPOSED PERMANENT ACQUISITION
The total value of the proposed permanent acquisition, which includes the land and the site improvements within the acquisition area, is presented below:
VALUE OF THE REMAINDER AS PART OF LARGER PARCEL (LAND ONLY) The value of the remainder as part of the larger parcel is its contributory value to the larger parcel. Deducting the land value for the part acquired from the value of the larger parcel, land only, yields:

VALUE OF THE REMAINDER, AFTER ACQUISITION BEFORE BENEFITS The remainder parcel is appraised as a separate and distinct assignment to develop an opinion of its fair market value before benefits. Damages are considered when there is a demonstrable impact on the fair market value of the remainder that is not conjectural, speculative or a result of an agency’s police powers.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REMAINDER
The project proposes to acquire a fee acquisition from the larger parcel. The fee acquisition area is located along the entire northern boundary, is approximately 24 feet in width along the majority of the acquisition area; however, at the eastern end it expands to over 30 feet. Overall, the property’s size is slightly decreased by 5%, but the shape, access and utility are not negatively impacted due to the proposed acquisition and no damages to the property are anticipated due to the proposed project. The highest and best use of the remainder parcel remains the same as in the “before” condition, commercial development.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE REMAINDER
We have analyzed the reminder parcel before benefits and find no indication of a change in highest and best use or unit value due to the severance from the larger parcel or construction in the manner proposed. The Sales Comparison Approach was utilized to develop the opinion of the fair market value of the remainder, before benefits. The unit value previously derived for the larger parcel is applicable to the reminder parcel valuation before damages.
DAMAGES
Based upon the preceding analysis, the proposed acquisition does not adversely affect the utility, desirability or marketability of the remainder property. The remainder as valued above is compared to the remainder as part of the larger parcel to measure the loss in market value damages.

COST TO CURE
The cost to cure is a proper measure of severance damages when it is no greater in amount than the decrease in the market value of the property if left as it stood. (People ex rel. Dept. Pub. Wks. V Hayward Bldg. Materials Co. (1963) 213 Cal. App. 2d 457, 465-466; People ex rel. Dept. Pub. Wks. V Flintkote Co. (1968) 264 Cal. App. 2d 97, 106.).
The appraisers have not identified any curative measures needed.
DAMAGE SUMMARY
VALUE OF THE REMAINDER, AFTER ACQUISITION, CONSIDERING BENEFITS The remainder parcel is appraised as a separate and distinct assignment to develop an opinion of its fair market value considering benefits. Benefits are considered when there is a demonstrable impact on the fair market value of the remainder parcel considering benefits that are not conjectural or speculative and measured as a gain in market value.
On August 25, 1997, the California Supreme Court ended the rule that only benefits identified as "special benefits" could be offset against damages in determining compensation in condemnation actions. Under its decision in the Continental Development case, all benefits, general and special can reduce compensation for damage.
We have analyzed the reminder parcel and find no indication of a change in highest and best use or unit value due to the construction in the manner proposed. The unit value derived for the larger parcel is applicable to the reminder parcel valuation considering benefits.
BENEFITS
Under California eminent domain law, any measure of benefits to the remainder can only be used to offset damages to the remainder. The construction in the manner proposed may provide physical improvements to the general area but provides no quantifiable benefits directly to the remainder parcel in the after condition.

TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT
The project design also requires a temporary construction easement (TCE) which totals 8,734 square feet from the larger parcel. Based upon information provided by the client, a TCE is needed for a total of six months. The TCE will be used in order to do the work necessary for constructing the proposed sidewalk improvement.
The compensable period for the temporary construction easement starts on the right of way certification date and expires no later than the project’s construction contract acceptance date.
A temporary construction easement is considered the involuntary occupancy, use and rental of the owner’s land. In the absence of comparable data the valuation will be based on the estimated rate of return to the land for the occupancy and use required by the agency. That rate will be applied to the value of the required area per month for the period identified by the construction schedule. The impact of the agency’s use of the easement area and potential for damages to the remainder are considered in establishing the rate of return. An element of entrepreneurial profit is included to recognize the owner’s market value of the development of the property.
Historically, relatively low rates of return have been realized for long-term credit tenants. From a buyer’s perspective, the durability, length, and quality of the income stream are paramount factors. One would expect land rent factors, especially for TCE arrangements, to be negotiated at higher rates. Since a TCE conveys an exclusive temporary right with limited access by the owner during the TCE period. In addition, the TCE typically allows some level of construction within the easement area for laydown, equipment, staging, etc. The nature of the TCE warrants a return to the landowner based on risk factors indicated by the difference in returns beyond a safe investment (around 4 -6%). The spread between safe A-rated bonds and high-risk junk bonds is approximately 3% to 6%. By adding the risk factor (3 - 6%) to a safe rate (4-6%), this results in a TCE rate from 7.0% to 12%.
Taking into account that the TCE agreements are typically holding exclusive rights to the area for the duration and usually including an option to extend, an 10% annual rent factor has been used in this analysis.

Definition of an Appraisal
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute,7th Edition P. 9 The act or process of developing an opinion of value, an opinion of value.
Market Value
Source: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. CFR Title 12, Part 34, Subpart C, § 34.42 Definitions 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 is 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;
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.
Market Value
Source: The Appraisal of Real Estate (Fifteenth Edition), Appraisal Institute, Chicago, Illinois, 2020, P. 48 The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress.
Fair Market Value
Source: Section 1263.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure A) The fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available.
B) The fair market value of property taken for which there is no relevant, comparable market is its value on the date of valuation as determined by any method of valuation that is just and equitable.
The Code goes on to say that:
The fair market value of the property taken shall not include any increase or decrease in the value of the property that is attributable to any of the following:
A) The project for which the property is taken.
B) The eminent domain proceeding in which the property is taken.
C) Any preliminary actions of the plaintiff relating to the taking of the property.

Fair Market Value
Source: IRS Regulation 20.2031-1
The price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. The fair market value of a particular item of property includible in the decedent’s gross estate is not to be determined by a forced sale price. Nor is the fair market value of an item of property the sale price in a market other than that in which such item is most commonly sold to the public, taking into account the location of the item wherever appropriate.
Market Rent
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition, P. 117 The most probable rent that a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair lease transaction, the lessee and lessor each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the rent is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the execution of a lease as of a specified date under conditions whereby
• Lessee and lessor are typically motivated;
• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; • Payment is made in terms of cash or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and • The rent reflects specified terms and conditions typically found in that market, such as permitted uses, use restrictions, expense obligations, duration, concessions, rental adjustments and revaluations, renewal and purchase options, frequency of payments (annual, monthly, etc.), and tenant improvements (TIs).
Full Interest Analysis.
The acquisition of all property rights using the applicable valuation methodology.
Partial Acquisition Interest Analysis.
The partial acquisition interest analysis starts with an opinion of fair market value for the undivided fee interest of the larger parcel using the most applicable method for valuing similar properties. Once the larger parcel value is estimated the following partial acquisition appraisal methodology is utilized:
• Value of the part acquired is based on the contributory value in the larger parcel. • Value of the remainder parcel as part of the larger parcel, is based on its contributory value developed in the larger parcel.
• Value the remainder parcel, after the acquisition and before benefits. When this value is compared to the value of remainder as part of the larger parcel any loss in market value is the measure of damages. • Value the remainder parcel, after the acquisition with benefits. When this value is compared to the value of the remainder without benefits any gain in market value is the measure of benefits. • The opinion of fair market value includes the value of the partial acquisition and the net damages.

Unit Rule
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition, P. 197 A valuation premise often applicable in condemnation appraisals. The unit rule has two aspects, the first dealing with ownership interests and the second dealing with physical components. The first aspect of the rule, also referred to as the undivided fee rule, requires that property be valued as a whole rather than by the sum of the values of the various interests into which it may have been carved (such as lessor and lessee, life tenant and remainderman, and mortgagor and mortgagee, etc.). This is an app lication of the principle that it is the property, not the interests, that is being acquired.
The second aspect of the rule is that different physical elements or components of a tract of land (such as the value of timber and the value of minerals on the same land) are not to be separately valued and added together.
Undivided Fee Rule
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition, P. 196 In condemnation appraisal, a rule that states that property is to be valued as if the title were held by a single entity, even if the real property is divided into more than one estate owned by more than one individual or entity.
Retrospective Value Opinion
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute,7th Edition, P. 166 value opinion effective as of a specified historical date. The term retrospective does not define a type of value. Instead, it identifies a value opinion as being effective at some specific prior date. Value as of a historical date is frequently sought in connection with property tax appeals, damage models, lease renegotiation, deficiency judgments, estate tax, and condemnation. Inclusion of the type of value with this term is appropriate, e.g., “retrospective market value opinion.”
Investment Value
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition, P. 99
1. The value of a property to a particular investor or class of investors based on the investor’s specific requirements. Investment value may be different from market value because it depends on a set of investment criteria that are not necessarily typical of the market.
2. The value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner given individual investment or operational objectives (may also be known as worth). (IVS)
Extraordinary Assumption

Larger Parcel
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition P. 105 In governmental land acquisitions and in valuation of charitable donations of partial interests in property such as easements, the tract or tracts of land that are under the beneficial control of a single individual or entity and have the same, or an integrated, highest and best use. Elements for consideration by the appraiser in making a determination in this regard are contiguity, or proximity, as it bears on the highest and best use of the property, unity of ownership, and unity of highest and best use. In most states, unity of ownership, contiguity, and unity of use are the three conditions that establish the larger parcel for the consideration of severance damages. In federal and some state cases, however, contiguity is sometimes subordinated to unitary use.

Highest and Best Use
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition P. 88
1. The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.
2. The use of an asset that maximizes its potential and that is possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible. The highest and best use may be for continuation of an asset’s existing use or for some alternative use. This is determined by the use that a market participant would have in mind for the asset when formulating the price that it would be willing to bid. (IVS)
3. [The] highest and most profitable use for which the property is adaptable and needed or likely to be needed in the reasonably near future. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions)
4. [For fair value determination] The use of a nonfinancial asset by market participants that would maximize the value of the asset or the group of assets and liabilities (for example, a business) within which the asset would be used. (FASB Glossary) The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset takes into account the use that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible. (FASB 820 -10-35-10B). The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset establishes the valuation premise used to measure the fair value of the asset, as follows: (a) The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset might provide maximum value to market participants through its use in combination with other assets as a group (as installed or otherwise configured for use) or in combination with other assets and liabilities (for example, a business). (b) The highest and best use of the asset might provide maximum value to market participants on a standalone basis. (FASB 820-10-35-10E)
Value in Use
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition P. 201
1. The amount determined by discounting the future cash flows (including the ultimate proceeds of disposal) expected to be derived from the use of an asset at an appropriate rate that allows for the risk of the activities concerned. (FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Master Glossary)
2. Formerly used in valuation practice as a synonym for contributory value or use value.
Across the Fence (ATF) Method
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition P. 3 A land valuation method used in the appraisal of corridors. The across -the-fence method is used to develop a value opinion based on comparison to abutting land.
Special-Purpose Property
Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 7th Edition P. 178 An improved property with a unique physical design, special construction materials, or a layout that particularly adapts its utility to the use for which it was built and may be costly to modify to another use; also called a special-design property.

NOTICE
Section 12413.1 of the California Insurance Code, effective January 1, 1990, requires that any title insurance company, underwritten title company, or controlled escrow company handling funds in an escrow or sub- escrow capacity, wait a specified number of days after depositing funds, before recording any documents in connection with the transaction or disbursing funds. This statute allows for funds deposited by wire transfer to be disbursed the same day as deposit. In the case of cashier's checks or certified checks, funds may be disbursed the next day after deposit. In order to avoid unnecessary delays of three to seven days, or more, please use wire transfer, cashier's checks, or certified checks whenever possible.

WHAT RIGHT DOES THE CITY HAVE TO ACQUIRE MY PROPERTY?
Every public entity has certain powers which are necessary for it to operate effectively. For example, States have the power to levy taxes and the power to maintain order. Another power is the power to acquire private property for public purposes. This is known as the power of the eminent domain.
The rights of each of us are protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and by State Constitutions and eminent domain laws which guarantee that if a privately-owned public utility takes private property it must pay “just compensation” to the owner.
Further, under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Policy Act of 1970 (Uniform Act), the owner has additional protections, some of which are explained in this brochure.
WHO MAKES THE DECISION TO BUY MY PROPERTY?
The decision to acquire a specific property for a public project usually involves many persons and many decisions. The final decision to proceed with the project is made by the City of Menifee’s City Council after a thorough review.
If you have any questions about the project or the selection of your property for acquisition, you should contact the representative for the project listed in the offer letter.
HOW DID THE CITY DETERMINE HOW MUCH TO OFFER ME FOR MY PROPERTY? Before preparing your offer, the City obtained an appraisal of your property. The appraisal was done by a qualified real property appraiser who is familiar with local property values. The appraiser inspected your property and stated his professional opinion of its current fair market value in an appraisal report.
The City is required to offer you “just compensation” for your property. This amount cannot be less than the fair market value of your property, as determined by the City on the basis of its appraisal.
WHAT IS FAIR MARKET VALUE?
Fair market value is sometimes defined as that amount of money which would probably be paid for a property in a sale between a willing seller, who does not have to sell, and a willing buyer, who does not have to buy.
The fair market value of a property is generally considered to be “just compensation.” Fair market value does not take into account intangible elements such as sentimental value, good will, business profits, or any other “special” value that your property may have for you as an individual.
HOW DOES AN APPRAISER DETERMINE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MY PROPERTY?
Each parcel or real property is different and therefore no single formula can be devised to appraise all properties. Among the factors an appraiser typically considers in estimating the value of real property are:

• How it compares with similar properties in the area that have been sold recently. • How much it would cost to reproduce the buildings and other structures, less any depreciation. • How much rental income it could produce.
WHAT IS IN THE CITY’S STATEMENT OF THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION OF JUST COMPENSATION?
The City’s statement of the basis for its determination of just compensation must be provided to you with the written purchase offer. Among other things, this statement must include:
• An accurate description of the property to be acquired. • The amount of the offer.
• An indication that the offer does not reflect any relocation payments or other relocation assistance which you may receive under other regulations.
• The recognized definition of the term “fair market value” or the equivalent term.
MUST I ACCEPT THE CITY’S INITIAL OFFER?
NO. You are entitled to present your evidence as to the amount you believe is the value of your property and to make suggestions for changing the terms and conditions of the offer. The City must make reasonable efforts to consider and respond to your evidence and suggestions. When fully justified by the available evidence of value, an adjustment in the offer may be made.
MAY I HAVE SOMEONE REPRESENT ME DURING NEGOTIATIONS?
YES. If you would like an attorney or anyone else to represent you during negotiations, please inform the City in writing. However, there are no provisions for the City to pay the costs of any such representation.
IF I AGREE TO ACCEPT THE CITY’S OFFER, HOW SOON WILL I BE PAID? If you reach a voluntary agreement to sell your property and your ownership (title) is clear, payment will be made at a mutually acceptable time. Generally, this should be possible within 30 to 60 days after you sign a purchase contract. If the title evidence obtained by the City indicates that further action is necessary to show that your ownership is clear, you may be able to hasten the payment by helping the City to obtain the necessary proof. (Title evidence is a legal record of ownership of the property. It identifies the owners of record and lists the restrictive deed covenants and recorded mortgages, liens and other instruments affecting your ownership of the property.) WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT AGREE TO THE FINAL PURCHASE OFFER BY THE CITY? If you do not agree with the property valuation you may be eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $5,000 for the reasonable cost of an independent appraisal. The reimbursement is based on:
• The appraisal must be initiated by the owner.
• The selected appraiser must be licensed with the Office of Real Estate Appraisers.

• To ensure the appraisal costs are reasonable and justifiable, the City should approve the amount of reimbursable cost prior to beginning the appraisal process.
If you are unable to reach a voluntary agreement through negotiations or fail to respond to the City’s offer, the City may file a suit in court to acquire your property through an eminent domain proceeding.
Eminent domain proceedings are often referred to as condemnations. If your property is to be acquired by condemnation and you would like it done promptly, the City must file the condemnation suit without unreasonable delay.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CITY CONDEMNS MY PROPERTY?
You will be notified of the action if the City files a condemnation suit.
During the condemnation proceeding, you will be provided an opportunity to introduce your evidence as to the value of your property. Of course, the City will have the same right. After hearing the evidence of all parties, the court will determine the amount of just compensation.
To help you in presenting your case in a condemnation proceeding, you may wish to consider employing an attorney and an appraiser. However, the costs of these professional services and other costs which you incur in presenting your case to the court are your responsibility.
WHAT IS AN ORDER OF POSSESSION?
An order of possession is a process within a condemnation action which allows the City to have the use of your property prior to a negotiated settlement or an award of just compensation in court. This procedure is used typically only where the use of your property is necessary to accomplish timely construction of the project for which your property is required.
To obtain an order of possession, the City must deposit with the court (or in an escrow account) an amount not less than its appraisal of the fair market value of the property. Ordinarily, the owner or lessees are then permitted to withdraw their share of this amount, LESS any amounts necessary to pay off any mortgage or other liens on the property and sums necessary to resolve any special ownership problems. Early withdrawal of your share of the money will not affect your right to seek additional compensation for your property. It is recommended that you have the help of an attorney if you intend to do this. Should the negotiated settlement or court award exceed the amount deposited by the City, you will be paid the difference plus any interest that may be provided by California law.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE COURT’S DETERMINATION? If you are not satisfied with the court judgment, you may file an appeal with the appropriate Appellate Court for the area where your property is located. The City may also file an appeal if it believes the amount of the judgment is too high.

You will be responsible for the payment of the balance on any mortgage on your property. Also, if your ownership is not clear, you may have to pay the cost of clearing it. You will not be responsible for the reasonable and necessary costs of:
• Typical legal and other services required to complete the sale, recording fees, transfer taxes and any similar expenses which are incidental to transfer ownership to the City. • Penalty costs and other charges necessary to permit prepayment of an earlier recorded mortgage on the property which was entered into in good faith. Real property taxes covering the period after the City acquires your property.
The City will identify these items in a Settlement Cost Statement to be given to you at the time of settlement or soon after the court award of compensation, if the property is acquired by condemnation.
Ordinarily, if you have paid any of these expenses yourself, you will be repaid at that time. If you later discover other costs for which you should be repaid, you should request repayment from the City within six months after the acquisition. The City will assist you in filing a claim for these costs. Finally, if you believe that you were not properly repaid, you may appeal first to the City, and if not satisfied, then to the courts.
MAY I KEEP ANY OF THE BUILDINGS OR OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ON MY PROPERTY? Sometimes improvements on a property are not required by the City. This might include such items as a fireplace mantel, your favorite shrubbery, or even an entire house. If you wish to keep any improvements, please let your Acquisition Agent know as soon as possible.
If you do arrange to keep any improvement(s), the City will deduct its salvage value from the purchase price you would otherwise receive. (The salvage value of an item is its probable selling price if offered for sale on the condition that the buyer will remove it at his own expense.) If you arrange to keep any real property improvement (such as a fireplace mantel or a shrub), you will not be entitled to receive a relocation payment for the cost of moving it to a new location.
CAN THE CITY TAKE ONLY A PART OF MY PROPERTY?
YES. But, if the purchase of only a part of your property reduces the value of the remaining part(s), you must be paid for the loss in value. Also, if any remaining part would have little or no utility or value to you, the City must offer to buy that remaining part from you.
WILL I HAVE TO PAY RENT TO THE CITY AFTER MY PROPERTY IS ACQUIRED? If you remain in the property after acquisition, you will be required to pay a fair rent to the City.
Generally, such rent will not be more than that charged as rent for the use of a property similar to yours in a similar area.

HOW SOON MUST I MOVE?
Every reasonable effort will be made to give you ample time to relocate after the acquisition of your property. In most cases, a mutually satisfactory arrangement can be worked out. Except in an unusual instance where there is an urgent need for your property for construction, you cannot be required to move from your residence or to move your business or farm operation without at least 90 days advance written notice of the date by which your move is required.
If you reach a voluntary agreement to sell your property, you cannot be required to move before you receive the agreed purchase price. In the case of a condemnation, you cannot be required to move before the estimated fair market value of the property has been deposited with the court (or into escrow) so that you can withdraw your share.
If you are being displaced from your residence, decent, safe and sanitary replacement housing must be available before you can be required to move.
I AM A VETERAN, HOW ABOUT MY GI LOAN?
After your GI home mortgage loan has been repaid, you will be permitted to obtain another GI loan to purchase another property. Check on such arrangements with your nearest VA office.
WHAT IS TITLE II OF THE UNIFORM ACT?
Title II (Uniform Relocation Assistance) of the Uniform Act specifies certain relocation payments and other assistance which the City must provide to families, individuals, businesses, farms and nonprofit organizations when they are displaced.
The City must furnish you with a full explanation of the relocation benefits to which you may be entitled.
If you have any questions about these benefits, or your right to receive them, please contact the City. In order for the City to fulfill its relocation obligations to you, you must keep the City informed of your plans.
MY PROPERTY IS WORTH MORE NOW THAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT. MUST I PAY CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON THE INCREASE?
In most cases when the City acquires real property, the property owner may postpone the payment of Federal capital gains taxes on any profit from the sale if the profit is reinvested in similar property within a certain replacement period. To take advantage of this right, you should file the details in a statement with your Federal income tax return for the tax year in which you realize the gains.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 549, “Condemnations of Private Property for Public Use,” is available from the IRS. It explains how the Federal income tax would apply to a gain or loss resulting from the condemnation of real property or its sale under the threat of condemnation for public purposes.
If you have any questions about the IRS rules, you should discuss your particular circumstances with your personal tax advisor or your local IRS office.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DONATE PROPERTY TO THE CITY?
YES. However, prior to accepting any donation of real property, the City must inform the owner in writing of the amount it believes to be just compensation for the property. The property owner must indicate in writing that, although they understand that they cannot be required to sell their property for less than just compensation, they voluntarily agree to do so.
WHAT IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS?
Contact the City’s designated representative directly. The representative will answer your questions and provide any needed additional information.
