Market Value
The following is the definition of market value as set forth in Section 34.43(f) of the OCC Rules and Regulations effective August 24, 1990.
"Market Value" means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specific 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 grated by anyone associated with the sale.
The final value estimate is stated in terms equivalent to cash.
"Market Value As Is" means an estimate of the market value of a property in the condition observed upon inspection and as it physically and legally exists without hypothetical conditions, assumptions or qualifications as of the date of inspection.
Fee Simple
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate; subject only to the limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power and taxation.
Leased Fee Estate
An ownership interest held by a landlord with the right of use and occupancy conveyed by lease to others; usually consists of the right to receive rent and the right to repossession at the termination of the lease.
12 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES Leasehold Estate
The right to use and occupy real estate for a stated term and under certain conditions; conveyed by a lease.
Highest and Best Use
Highest and best use is defined as:
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value."1
In market value estimates, highest and best use analysis identifies the most profitable, competitive use to which the property can be put. "Therefore, the analysis and interpretation of highest and best use is an economic study of market forces focused on the subject property."2

14 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES NEIGHBORHOOD DATA
The subject property is located in the southern section of the city along the north side of E. Port Hueneme Road between Market Street and Ventura Road. The general neighborhood can be defined as the south section of the city extending north from Port Hueneme Beach Park to the CB Base and east from Port Hueneme Harbor to the easterly city limit boundaries. Uses in this area are mixed including residential, commercial and some limited industrial. Major influences in the area include Port Hueneme Harbor and the beach. The Harbor and the adjacent CB Base have a significant impact on the neighborhood in the form of demand for housing and commercial services. Recent expansion programs at the Port have increased its import and export capacity with agricultural products and automobile imports being major commodities. The Port Hueneme Beach Park and associated facilities provide social and recreational amenities that attract visitors to the area. Ventura Road and Hueneme Road are major arterials providing access to the general neighborhood.
The immediate neighborhood is defined by Scott Street on the north, Ventura Road on the east, E. Port Hueneme Road on the south and the Port of Hueneme on the west. East Port Hueneme Road provides access to the main entrance gate to the Port. This is a commercial area dominated by the Beachport Shopping Center located on a 4.77 acre site west of Ventura Road between Scott Street and E. Port Hueneme Road. The other major use is the 14,000 SF Harbor Plaza garden office complex situated on a 1.23 acre site at the southwest corner of Scott and Market Streets. Other uses in the immediate neighborhood include two residential duplexes, miscellaneous office and retail uses, a church and the Port Hueneme Historical Museum. There are four parcels of vacant land three of which are owned by the city. Two of the parcels totaling 1.90 acres are located west of Market Street between Scott Street and E. Port Hueneme Road. The other parcel containing 8,063 SF is situated adjacent to the subject on the west. The privately owned parcel fronts on the east side of Market and contains 8,954 SF. Neighborhood zoning is C-1 which is consistent with the general plan designation of commercial.
Over the last 25 to 30 years, the general neighborhood has experienced significant upgrading and redevelopment including beach oriented residential and recreational improvements, the Beachport Shopping Center, Country Inn hotel (now Holiday Inn Express), upgrading of shopping centers along Hueneme and Ventura Roads and industrial development in South Oxnard to the east. The immediate commercial neighborhood was designated as the Market Street Landing Sub-Area in the Central Community Redevelopment Project Area.. This Sub-Area was defined as the remaining commercial nucleus of Port Hueneme’s former downtown with revitalization intended to maximize the city’s retail and professional office development potential. However, redevelopment of the neighborhood never materialized due to economic and market conditions and budget constraints. With the abolishment of Redevelopment Agencies in California in 2012, redevelopment potential ceased. The neighborhood has remained static for a number of years. Its future will continue to be tied to the Port of Hueneme and the beach influence plus the city’s disposition of the properties they own.

16 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES LOT DATA
Size
Rectangular shape with frontage of 70’ and depth of 130’. Lot area equals 9,100 SF
Topography and Drainage
Level with no evidence of flooding or drainage problems.
Flood Zone
Zone X – Denotes areas of .2% annual chance flood, areas of 1% annual change flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas of less than 1 square mile. FEMA Map No. 06111CO914E dated 1/20/10. Most of the city of Port Hueneme is located in the same zone.
Easements and Encumbrances
A title report was not available for review. The site inspection revealed no easements or encumbrances that would significantly impact value which is a presumption upon which the appraisal is based.
Utilities
All utilities are connected to the site.
Street Improvements and Access
East Port Hueneme Road is a fully improved two lane primary arterial with striped center median and parallel parking and bike lane on both sides of the street. Direct access is available via one curb cut.
Zoning and General Plan
Zoning is C-1, General Commercial. The City’s General Plan designation is Commercial.
Environmental
No environmental assessment of the site was available for review. The site inspection revealed no obvious signs of contamination or uncontrolled hazardous waste. If an environmental assessment became available, the appraisal would be subject to review and revision.
17 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES Seismic/Geologic Hazards
The general Ventura County area has a history of seismic activity with a number of faults existing. Based on State of California Division of Mines and Geology maps, there are no known faults in close proximity to the site.
IMPROVEMENTS
The main structure was designed and built for residential use with age of construction estimated to be circa 1920 – 1940. Building size is 1,675 SF. The last occupancy was for 3 apartment units The structure has been vacant for a number of years and has been boarded up. Basic construction includes raised concrete block foundation, wood siding exterior walls and composition shingle roof. There is an indented 8’ x 16’ front porch that steps up from the sidewalk. The exterior is in fair to poor condition. The interior is basically original and is in poor condition. The other structure is an old wood shed containing 320 SF that is a tear down. Miscellaneous improvements include some concrete flat and chain link fencing.
One of the values to be estimated requires a hypothetical condition that the residential structure is completely rehabbed and restored to a fully functional office building while maintaining the historical integrity and character of the structure consistent with Cultural Heritage Board standards. The original architectural style and construction features must be retained at the exterior elevations. However, the interior can be rehabbed, updated and modified so that the building serves as a fully functional office building. What the final floor plan and interior layout will be is unknown at this time.
ASSESSMENT AND TAX DATA
City owned property is exempt from property taxes and is not assessed. The tax rate area is 06000 with a tax rate for 2016/2017 of $1.124848 per $100 of assessed value. Based upon the value estimated in this report for the property as a fully functional office building, taxes would approximate $8,000. If the property transferred to a taxable entity.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
There are four basic criteria that must be met in highest and best use of both land as vacant and property as improved. Highest and best use must be (1) physically possible, (2) legally permissible, (3) financially feasible, and (4) maximally productive.
As Vacant
The site is rectangular in shape with good access and utilities available. There are no physical constrains to development other than those imposed by the city zone 18 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES ordinance. Current zoning permits office, retail and service commercial uses.which are consistent with the general plan designation of commercial. Given neighborhood characteristics, office or some specialty retail or service commercial would be considered financially feasible uses. These uses would be maximally productive and therefore consistent with the highest and best use of the site as vacant.
As Improved
The improvements consist of an old residential structure that has been abandoned and boarded up. The C-1 zone does not allow residential uses. Because the building has not been used for residential for a few years, a residential use could not be re- established for the property. The structure could be retained and converted to commercial, most likely an office use. However, because cost to convert the building to an office use is not available, its financial feasibility is unknown. If it was not financially feasible to convert the building to office use, the highest and best use of the property as improved would be to demolish the structure or move it to another location if the building had to be saved because of its historical status. The scope of the appraisal requires the property to be appraised assuming the building has been converted to a fully functional office. Given this hypothetical condition, use of the property for office purposes is a directed highest and best use.
METHODS OF VALUATION
The three basic approaches to value are:
Cost Approach
Sales Comparison Approach
Income Capitalization Approach
The Cost Approach provides an indicator of value by adding the value of the land to the estimated replacement cost of the improvements less depreciation from all sources. The basis for this approach is the principle of substitution which states that a knowledgeable buyer will not pay more for a property than the cost to replace it with a suitable substitute of like utility. All costs must be considered including developer profit or entrepreneurship. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon an accurate estimate of land value based on an analysis of land sales and an accurate estimate of replacement cost and depreciation based on cost manuals and actual cost estimates and proposals of similar improvements.
The Sales Comparison Approach provides an indicator of value by a direct comparison of sold properties with the subject property. Various comparison methods are used. The adequacy of this approach generally depends upon the comparability of the sold properties with the subject and an accurate measurement of dissimilar characteristics. 19 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES The Income Capitalization Approach provides an indicator of value by the capitalization of projected net income. The basis for this approach is that the value of a property is related to its ability to produce income at a percentage of the value which reflects risk and future property appreciation or depreciation. Reliability is dependent on accurate projections of economic rent, expenses and a capitalization rate.
The scope of the assignment requires estimates of value for 1) land only and 2) total property value with the hypothetical condition that the residential structure has been rehabbed and restored to a fully functional office building. The sales comparison approach is the approach used by the market for valuing vacant land and therefore is the approach used in this appraisal for the land value estimate. Demand for the property with the building converted to an office will be oriented toward owner users. The market for smaller owner user office buildings is driven by the sales comparison approach which will be the primary approach in this appraisal. Because these properties are leased at times, the income approach is considered to have some relevance and will be used as a secondary or supportive indicator of value.
LAND VALUE
A search was made for sales of other smaller commercially oriented lots within the Port Hueneme and Oxnard markets. Due to the limited number of sales in these markets, the Ventura market was also researched. Following are complete data sheets with photos of the land sales used to estimate land value.

Analysis and Value Conclusion
Terms of the sales were all cash or cash to the seller except for Sale 4 which included a seller carried note. Terms of the note were not available. However, the confirming source stated the terms did not impact the purchase price. Therefore, no adjustments were required to the sales for cash equivalency. There were no unusual conditions of sale that impacted the sale prices.
The unit of comparison used by the market for vacant land is price PSF. The sales form a nominal price range of $14.56 - $21.06 PSF. Sales 1 – 3 are located in the same downtown Oxnard area and are the same size and zoning with highest and best use as commercial. The variation in price can be attributed to date of sale with price PSF increasing each year. Relating price PSF to date of sale indicates average price appreciation of approximately 10% per year requiring an upward adjustment to the older sales for market conditions. The sales are compared to the subject on a qualitative basis as follows.
Sales 1 – 3 $14.56 to $18.29 PSF. These lots are located in downtown Oxnard and are considered generally similar overall to the subject. The difference in price PSF is due to date of sale. Sale 1 which is a current sale at $18.29 PSF is considered a reasonable indicator of value for the subject.
Sale 4 - $20.93 PSF. This sale requires a modest upward adjustment for market conditions. It is considered superior in location because of the frontage on a major arterial. Considering these factors, this sale at $20.93 PSF is rated somewhat superior to the subject.
Sale 5 - $21.06 PSF. This sale requires an upward adjustment for market conditions. It has a corner location which enhances site utility and access. Also, the zoning allows multi-family residential uses with the surrounding area developed to commercial and residential uses. Considering these factors, this sale at $21.06 PSF is rated somewhat superior to the subject.
31 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES In summary, Sale 1 at $18.29 PSF is considered similar to the subject. Sales 4 and 5 at $20.93 and $21.06 PSF are rated somewhat superior to the subject. Based on an analysis of the sales, the subject lot is valued at $19.00 PSF.

32 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES VALUE AS A COMPLETED OFFICE BUILDING
This value requires a hypothetical condition that the residential structure is completely rehabbed and restored to a fully functional office building while maintaining the historical integrity and character of the structure consistent with Cultural Heritage Board standards. The original architectural style and construction features must be retained at the exterior elevations. However, the interior can be rehabbed, updated and modified so that the building serves as a fully functional office building.
The primary approach to value used by the market for smaller owner user oriented office buildings is the sales comparison approach. Therefore, because this approach is market driven, it is the main approach used to value the property. However, because these properties are leased at times, the income approach is considered to have some relevance and will be used as a secondary or supportive indicator of value.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
A search was made for sales of older buildings that are used primarily for office and exhibiting the classic architectural styles found in the first few decades of the 1900’s. The initial search was concentrated in the Oxnard/Port Hueneme market. However, because only one older sale and two listings with reasonable comparability were found, the search was expanded to include older areas of Ventura. Following are data sheets on those sales considered most helpful in estimating value for the subject.

Analysis
The sales are compared to the subject for the elements affecting value including date of sale, location, lot size, parking, building size, age, quality, updating, condition, occupancy, etc. The indicator of value used by the market is price per square foot of gross building area.
52 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES Terms of the sales were all cash to the seller either all cash or cash to a conventional loan. Verification of the sales confirmed that none of the sales were impacted by terms of the sale or by any atypical conditions of sale.
The market was analyzed for the effect that market conditions have on price. A review of sales in the Port Hueneme, Oxnard and Ventura markets indicates the general commercial and office market has improved somewhat over the last few years as the economy improved, unemployment decreased and interest rates continued to be attractive. Sale 4 indicates an average rate of appreciation of 7% annually from December 2009 through July 2016. A review of market data supports the upward trend in price which continued into 2017. The sales are adjusted accordingly for market conditions.
Building size impacts price per square foot. Generally speaking, as size decreases, price PSF increases within a certain range, all other factors being equal. Sales 1, 3 and 4 ranging in size ffrom1,440 SF to 1,785 SF sold in a range of $423.61 to $493.00 PSF. Sales 2 and 4 – 7 plus Listing 1 are priced in a range of $247.46 to $410.77 PSF
The lot size, location and parking adjustment considers general locational influences and relative land values as well as frontages and access. The age and condition adjustment considers year built, renovation and updating. The design, quality and use adjustment considers architectural style, quality of building materials and workmanship plus interior build out related to ue.
The sales indicate an unadjusted price range of $247.46 - $493.00 PSF with a median of $410.77 PSF. The following chart adjusts the sales to the subject for the elements of comparison that impact price and value. The listings are not adjusted but were considered to be relevant market data.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The wide adjusted price range of $375.64 - $443.90 PSF is a reflection of the wide variation of the subject and the sale property characteristics which requires significant adjustments. The range reflects a mean of $412.94 and a median of $418.06. Sales 3, 4 and 6 at $384.53 - $418.21 PSF are the most current sales. All of the sales similar net adjustment. Sales 3, 4, 5 and 7 at $384.53 - $443.90 are most similar in physical characteristics but are located in Ventura requiring adjustment for location. Sales 1 and 53 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES 2 at $442.67 and $375.643 PSF are the only sales located in the Port Hueneme/Oxnard market area. Sale 1 is a conventional style office building situated in a beach location. Sale 2 is an old sale of a much larger building located in Heritage Square. Listing 2 at $337.19 PSF is an older office building in the same immediate area as the subject. There is excess land but the building needs considerable work.

1,675 SF @ $415.00 = $695,120
INDICATED VALUE – SALES COMPARISON APPROACH $695,000
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
The income approach provides a value by capitalizing income at a rate that provides an adequate return to the investor. The market for this property type uses direct capitalization whereby an overall rate of capitalization (OAR) derived from the market is applied to the subject's projected net income after all vacancy allowances and expenses. Arriving at a value by the income approach using direct capitalization is a multi step process. Those steps include estimation of potential gross income, stabilized vacancy rate, effective gross income, expenses, reconstructed operating statement, capitalization and final value estimate.
Potential Gross Income
A rent survey of office space was conducted in order to estimate economic rent for the subject as a completely restored and updated office building. Rents surveyed include newer office space and historical buildings with classic architectural styles used for office. Following is a summary of rents considered helpful in estimating economic rent.

Net Income $33,520
Capitalization
Direct capitalization is the method used to capitalize first year’s income. Overall rates of capitalization (OAR) are derived from the market by relating net income from other smaller investment properties to sale price. Sales 1, 3 and 7 in the sales comparison approach have OARs in a range of 4.3% - 4.8%. It is typical for sales of smaller commercial properties that are oriented toward owner users to reflect OARs that are one to two percentage points below the larger investment properties. Sales of other smaller investment properties indicate a general range of 4.5% - 6.0%. Smaller properties in general that are more oriented toward owner users but have short term leases in place indicate OAR’s at the low end of the range. The low OAR’s of the small owner user oriented or single tenant buildings result from advantages of ownership such as tax benefits, fixed rent, property control, etc. not reflected in rental tenancy. Based

Net Income of $33,520 divided by .05 = $670,400
INDICATED VALUE – INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH $670,000
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH $695,000
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH $670,000
The two approaches form a value range with a differential of about 4%.
The sales comparison approach is the approach generally recognized by the market as the most reliable indicator of value for small owner user oriented office buildings. In this appraisal, adequate comparable sales were available for direct comparison with the subject. Because of the nature of the property including size, age, condition, building design, etc., significant adjustments were required to most of the sales. However, the pool of data was considered sufficient to form a reliable estimate of value. Because this is the primary approach used by the market for this property type, most weight is given the sales comparison approach.
The income approach required estimates of economic rent, a vacancy factor, expenses and an overall rate of capitalization. Adequate data was available from the market so that these estimates could be made. However, because of the conditions of the appraisal and the subject characteristics, the estimates are inherently more subjective in nature. Because the subject is not considered a true investment property and is oriented more toward owner users, the income approach is given secondary weight but provides support for the final estimate of value.
Based on the investigation and analysis made, it is my opinion the value of the subject property as defined, given the assumptions and limiting conditions of the report as of June 1, 2017 is:
SIX HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($690,000.00)
57 ______245 E. Pt Hueneme Rd.PH BOLTON & ASSOCIATES EXPOSURE AND MARKETING PERIODS
Given the definition of market value, the final value estimate is as of the date of value of this report which presupposes that the property has already been exposed to the market for a reasonable period of time prior to the date of value. This past exposure period prior to a hypothetical sale as of the date of value reflects market conditions and trends during the exposure period. The exposure period estimated in this report is based on the following data sources.
1. Statistical information on exposure periods of current sales used in the report and sales of other similar properties. Exposure periods for the sales used in this report ranged from 1 to 7 months.
2. Interviews with brokers and other market participants.
3. Days on the market for listings.
A distinction is made between exposure period and marketing period. While exposure period is the time frame which occurs prior to the date of value (hypothetical sale date), marketing period reflects the estimated time required to market the property from the date of value given a reasonable listing price. This marketing period can be similar to or different from the exposure period. The marketing period is based in part on past trends but also considers current market conditions and the appraiser’s projections regarding future market conditions and trends. If market conditions change during the future marketing period, the ultimate sale price or value at time of sale can vary from the estimate as of the date of value.
Exposure period is relevant in this appraisal given its intended used. An exposure period of approximately six months is estimated and forms the basis for the market value estimate.
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND THE HUENEME ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROPERTY
Assessor’s parcel maps and aerial photos were reviewed to determine the distance between the two properties. Physical on site measurements could not be taken because of obstructions on adjoining properties. Based on the sources used, the distance between the school’s office building and the subject is judged to be 595 feet. The distance between the subject and the school yard is 735 feet.
