PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the herein described and identified property based on a fee simple interest subject to the assumptions and contingent conditions as set forth in this report.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
The most probable price in terms of money which, a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions requisite to a fair sale, with 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.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Buyer and seller are typically motivated.
Both parties are well informed or well advised and each acting in what they consider their own best interest .
A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
Payment is made in cash or its equivalent.
Financing, if any, is on terms generally available in the community at the specified date and typical for the property type in its locale.
The price represents normal consideration for
the property sold, unaffected by special financing amounts and/or terms, services, fees, costs or credit incurred in the transaction.
DEFINITION OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The term "highest and best use" as used herein is the legal use which produces the highest net return to the land during a reasonable period of time and for which there is an existing
and future expected demand sufficiently strong to affect the real estate market. Possible uses, as distinguished from reasonably probable uses, have not been considered.

2 Area Data and Introduction to Appraisal Assignment
The property which is the subject of this report is located within the City of Carlsbad. Carlsbad is situated on the
Pacific Coast in northern San Diego County, as shown by the
enclosed regional map. Located on the coast of southern
California, San Diego County is bordered on the north by Orange County, on the south by Mexico, on the east by Imperial
County and to the west, the Pacific Ocean. The County covers 4,255 square miles and contains 18 incorporated cities, with the City of San Diego being the largest in both land area and population, The City of Los Angeles, located approximately 120 miles north of San Diego, is the nearest major metropolitan area.
The diverse geography of San Diego County features coastal,
desert and mountain terrain. Western San Diego County is characterized by a plain or mesa extending approximately ten miles inland from the coast. To the east, this coastal plain graduates into hills rising to 2,000 feet. Beyond the intercoastal valleys and surrounding hills, the land continues to rise until the crest of the Laguna Mountain range is reached, about 40 miles inland. This range runs parallel to the coast and is between 3,000 and 5,000 feet in elevation with occasional peaks rising to 6,500 feet. Beyond the mountains, the land drops rather sharply back to sea level in the Salton Sea area which is part of Imperial County and the great Colorado Desert. The coastal Pacific influence is demonstrated by San Diego's mild climate with average daily temperature variations of about 13 degrees. The average high temperature for the county is 70.2 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low is 56.2 degrees. Average annual rainfall is 11
inches. This combination of mild temperatures and geographical variation makes San Diego County an attractive area for many forms of commerce including tourism and recreation.
Established in February 1850, San Diego is one of California's original 27 counties. In June 1850, the first population census of California was taken and San Diego, officially, had 798 residents. Population growth within the county was slow during the next 30 years, however, the ten year period between 1880-90 saw a surge in population growth as the opening of the Santa Fe Railroad created a wave of new in-migrants. During the 1920's and 1930'~~ the population within San Diego County nearly doubled, reaching 210,000. World War I1 prompted the expansion of San Diego's military installations and increasing military aircraft production brought an influx of capital to
the county. As a result, San Diego's military and civilian populations increased rapidly.
In recent years, the rate of in-migration to San Diego has lead the nation as people continue to move from the north/northeast into the sunbelt. The following table illustrates the population change within San Diego County over
the past 25 years.

1,049,000 1,165,000 I, 366,000 1,616,900 1,866,400 2,166,000
These population statistics, provided by the California
Department of Finance, reflect an average 3% annual population growth over the past 25 years. County population growth is expected to continue and reach 2,548,000 by 1995. In general,
a rising population means increasing property values.
City of Carlsbad
Located 35 miles north of downtown San Diego on Interstate 5,
this beach-oriented community has a current population of 46,500+ residents and has been the fastest growing city in the county since 1980. It is also one of the top 10 fastest growing cities statewide. Carlsbad was incorporated in 1952, escaping annexation to Oceanside. Current growth rate is 3,000
residents per year, or about 7%. Countywide growth rate is
about 2% annually. Various annexations, notably the La Costa
area in 1972, has extended Carlsbad south to Batiquitos Lagoon
and eastward to the boundaries of Vista and San Marcos. With a mayor/council/manager form of government, Carlsbad now contains 37.5 square miles of which +35% is developed. Projections show the city's population will reach 85,600 by the year 2000, making it the fourth largest city in the
county. Annual average high temperature is 66 degrees with an
average low of 51.6 degrees. Average annual rainfall is 9.45 inches. The present climate is a positive amenity, a magnet attracting people to the county as a whole and Carlsbad specifically. The city provides a wide range of government services including a large planning department directing the city's growth.
Development Activity
After a sewer moratorium in 1978 and unfavorable economic conditions which followed, a building surge has occurred within Carlsbad over the past few years. The city is rapidly
becoming a major hub of industry in North County, with an estimated $1.5 billion in projects completed or planned, mostly in the area of Palomar Airport. During the 1984-85 fiscal year, commercial/industrial building permits totalled $24.4 million, compared to $23 million the previous year.
Residential development is booming with $160 million in
permits issued during the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1985. A similar figure is projected for fiscal 1985-86. Spinaker Point, Vista Pacifica, Las Playas, Meadowridge, Calavera Hills, The Villas, and The Trails among other projects offer hundreds of attached/detached new homes ranging from $80,000+ to $243,000.

c
Industrial development within the city includes the 559-acre Carlsbad Research Center, 330-acre Palomar Airport Business Park among others. Many of these are around the Palomar
Airport. The city's emergence as an R&D center is only one
factor contributing to substantial growth and economic stability, The city is expected to become a major resort community and conference center. The Interstate 5 corridor between Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane has blossomed as a travel service area. Recently completed hotels include Lexington Hotel Suites, Economy Inns, Travelodge and All Star Inns in addition to Kaiser Medical and restaurants. Pea Soup Andersen's Restaurant and a 76-room hotel was completed in 1982. Batiquitos Lagoon will become the focus of a golf course and eventually a large hotel, resort amenities and numerous homes to be built over the next two decades.
Villaqe Redevelopment Project
"Incentive to business development is lacking but even if it existed the physical capacity to accommodate business is lacking, This same lack of incentive decreases the inclination
of the individual property owners or enterprises to modernize,
As a consequence the process of deterioration sets in until community finds a commercial slum developing in its very midst. "
The above quotation was taken from the Preface to the Carlsbad
Village Area Redevelopment Plan adopted in April, 1981. Since then, Carlsbad's 300-acre redevelopment area, representing $104+ million in private and public investment, is considered a success with few vacancies in the city's older and
well-established downtown area. This redevelopment project is
expected to take many years to complete, with a good start to
date. The subject property is influenced by but located just outside the redevelopment area.
Overall goal of the Village Area Redevelopment Project is to create a pleasant, attractive, accessable environment for
living, shopping, recreation, civic, cultural and service functions through elimination of blighting influences and through restoration and new, private/public development forms which preserve and enhance the existing character of the village area and surrounding community.
As shown by an enclosed map, the redevelopment project is
subdivided into seven areas to permit development throughout the project to occur in a coordinated manner. Sub Area 1 (see exhibit) has traditionally functioned as the central business district. Its 1 and 2 story shops and offices along State Street met retail and service needs of Carlsbad for several decades. External factors, such as El Camino Real Shopping Center and reorientation of the major north/south thoroughfare from Old Highway 101 to Interstate 5, have affected the economic viability of the downtown area. Goal for Sub Area 1
c
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
7
F is to function ai a major financial, ipecialty and commercial
center for the downtown area, Located within this sub AM is
the Village Centre which will act as a focal point and become the major attraction for the Village Project area. Urban design for the Village Centre shall be that of a village
atmosphere, concentrating on pedestrian circulation and high levels of open space amenities. Elm Avenue will serve as the major east/west gateway to the Village Centre and beach access points and should develop as a strong financial and commercial center.
Sub Area Nos. 4 and 7 are within two blocks of the subject
property. Sub Area 4 has traditionally functioned as a heavy commercial, light manufacturing area. Redevelopment goal for Sub Area 4 is to create a light manufacturing/heavy commercial area that will serve the project area. Overall, this Sub Area could function as a major repair and service; distribution; and/or vocational education center. Sub Area 7 traditionally
has accommodated residential and commercial development to
occur simultaneously. Goal for this area is intended to permit and encourage mixed-uses among residential and service commercial/office uses. Primary circulation streets identified in the redevelopment plan are Elm Avenue, Grand Avenue, Carlsbad Boulevard, Roosevelt Street and Jefferson Street.
Proposition E
As indicated in this discussion, the City of Carlsbad has been
experiencing a substantial increase in population and development over the past few years. Citizens of Carlsbad are very much concerned about the city's rapid growth and desire a lower rate of development in order to permit effective advance planning and establishment of adequate municipal services such as streets, water, sewage disposal and other customary services. As a result, the voters passed Proposition E in November 1986, which effectively slows down or reduces future development within the city. A copy of this proposition is included in the Addenda section of this report. The city has
been divided into four quadrants, along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road, each quadrant has been alloted a maximum
number of residential dwelling units to be constructed or approved after November 1986. The subject property lies within the northwest quadrant where there are 10,133 existing dwelling units and a future allotment of 5,844 units.
As of September 1986, there was a reported 11,948+ net residential acres within the city under various zoning from Low Density allowing 0-1.5 dwelling units per acre to High Density allowing 15-23 dwelling units per acre. Also included within the city are 2,3202 net acres of Open Space. In order

to adequately assess and plan for countywide public facilities and services, it was necessary to project the level of development that can be anticipated at ultimate build-out of the city. These projections take into consideration recent ordinances adopted by the city which reduce residential density and restrict overall future development throughout the city. The net developable acreage figure was multiplied by the number of dwelling units allowed per-acre using the city's "controlled yield" density ranges, which are as follows:
Allowed Dwelling Units Per Acre
Residential Land Use Controlled Yield
RL 0 - 1.5
RLM 0 - 4.0
RM 4 - 8.0
RMH 8 - 15.0
RH 15 - 23.0
1.0 3.2 6.0 11.5
19.0
These Control Yield densities represent either the mid-point
of the city's adopted density ranges or actual experience
using existing developments within each land use category.
Note: The following information was taken from the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan for the City of Carlsbad
dated September 1986.
Neiqhborhood Analysis
Specifically, the subject site is located immediately south of the downtown business district, along Pine Avenue at Harding Street. Surrounding land usages include older single-family
residential, apartment, church and day school. The traditional
downtown core area of Carlsbad is located along Elm and Grand
Avenues immediately north. Interstate 5 passes through the area, immediately east, with access provided at Elm Avenue. Single-family residential development surrounding the subject site is generally 30-50 years of age and smaller with a price range of $60,000 to $90,000+. There are also some newer apartment projects in the area. Carlsbad State Beach is located immediately west on Elm Avenue. Major thoroughfares in the area include Interstate 5, Elm and Tamarack Avenues. Zoning on the subject site is Open Space and General Plan designation is Elementary School. Zoning and General Plan designation in the immediate vicinity is High Density Residential.

Introduction to Appraisal Assicrnment
Our assignment is to provide the City of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Unified School District with a market value estimate for a 3.02-acre parcel, considered vacant and available for development consistent with a commercial office land use. The traditional concept of highest and best use was not considered. Estimating the market value of property involves a systematic process in which the problem is defined, the work necessary to solve the problem is planned, and the required data is gathered, classified, analyzed, and interpreted into an estimate of value. The approaches appraisers use in arriving at value conclusions are commonly classified under three headings -- usually labeled Cost; Income; and Market, or Direct Sales Comparison, analyses.
The Income Approach is utilized in valuing properties which have the capability to produce rental income or the equivalent which the appraiser may convert to an indicated value.The Cost Approach is utilized where significant structural improvements have been created consistent with the highest and best use of
the site. The appraiser analyzes the costs of creating such improvements, subtracting depreciation, to arrive at the contributory value of improvements.
The Market, or Direct Sales Comparison, Approach is based on
the premise that transactions between independent parties buying, selling, developing, and utilizing real estate are
evidence of value. This valuation method involves the comparison and contrast of the subject property with similar
properties which have sold on or about the date of valuation.
These properties are compared and contrasted with the subject
with regard to differences or similarities in date of sale, age of improvements, location, physical characteristics, and conditions influencing the sale. Notable differences in the comparable properties are adjusted to the subject property to indicate a value range for the property being appraised. When sufficient sales data is available, these adjustments are best determined by the actions of typical buyers and sellers in the marketplace. The value range, as indicated by the adjusted
comparable properties, is correlated into a final indicated value for the subject property by this valuation method.
Because this assignment involves the appraisal of a theoretical vacant and undeveloped site, the traditional Income and Cost approaches were considered not applicable. Neither of these approaches is appropriate nor typically used by the market in valuing/marketing vacant sites. We have relied on the Direct Sales Analysis or Market Approach in valuing this property. A discussion of our investigation and findings follows.

VALUATION
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
VALUATION 20
Our assignment is to provide the City of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Unified School District with a current market value estimate of the herein described subject property. This property is located immediately south of the downtown area of Carlsbad, along Pine Avenue at Harding Street. The 3.02-acre site is
currently part of a larger 10.51-acre parcel owned by Carlsbad Unified School District and improved with older ,educational buildings. Current zoning designation is Open Space and General Plan designation is E, or Elementary School. The City
and Carlsbad Unified School District are negotiating City acquisition to facilitate the design and construction of a joint City of Carlsbad Senior Citizens Center and District administrative office complex. Instructions to the appraiser,
for valuation purposes, is to assume a vacant, 3.02-acre legal and separate parcel available for development consistent with
an office use. In Carlsbad, an office use would require a commercial zoning designation. Due to client instruction, the traditional concept of highest and best use has not been considered in the valuation of this property.
Best indicator of subject property value is actual market activity involving similar commercially-zoned sites in the
immediate vicinity. In valuing the subject site, using a Direct Sales Analysis Method, a search was conducted
throughout the City of Carlsbad for recent, commercially-zoned vacant site acquisitions as disclosed by the Nationwide Real Estate Register and Comps, Inc. Each is a well-known data service utilized by the real estate industry. The Nationwide Real Estate Register monitors the County Recorders Office and, theoretically lists every recording by assessor parcel number. Using this source as a raw data base, appropriate transactions are further investigated and either included within the report as valid value indicators or disgarded due to lack of comparability or other reasons. Recent sale activity involving commercially-zoned sites in the downtown area is scarce. As such, the appraiser has gathered data from the city as a whole. Office site transactions have been taken from developing office areas of Carlsbad such as the Interstate 5 corridor and Palomar Airport area. Recent sale of a directly comparable site in close proximity to the subject was not available for analysis. Enough information was available, after adjustment, to arrive at a supportable value conclusion for the subject site.
Copies of grant deeds and assessor plats pertaining to market data items were obtained from county records. Those documents which did not indicate an "arms-length" transaction were
disregarded. Each transaction was then field-checked to determine physical features, location, access, etc. In
processing the sales data, each comparable transaction was
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
21
analyzed and compared with the subject property in all details. Adjustments were considered to reflect the influence of time, location, size, topography, zoning, freeway influence and other value characteristics as they relate to the subject.
Other factors considered in the process of applying
adjustments to the comparable transactions include street
improvements, availability of utilities, proximity to major developments and sale conditions. Each adjustment reflected judgment based upon findings in the market resulting from our investigation and experience. The following chart summarizes those sales considered most comparable to the subject property. A more detailed discussion of the sales and adjustments required follows.

Discussion of Adjustments
In utilizing a Direct Sales Analysis Method or Market Approach, the appraiser analyzes comparable market data, making adjustments to reflect differences in value
characteristics. In analyzing market data, to arrive at a value conclusion for the subject site, consideration was given to the following value characteristics.
1.
2.
Time - The length of time for which a specific sale comparison may be useful varies with characteristics of the market. During periods of appreciation, it becomes
necessary to make an upward adjustment to sale price on transactions which took place prior to the date of value, to reflect increasing prices. As indicated in the Area Data section, considerable development activity is occuring in the Carlsbad/North County area including residential, industrial, commercial/retail and office. Substantial growth has occured within North County over the past few years along with continued demand for living and work space. As demonstrated by current development activity, there is a demand for well-located commercial/office sites in the Carlsbad/North County area and it is reasonable to assume some upward price pressure
on available sites. The appraiser believes a 5% annual price appreciation rate to be reasonable for vacant sites. Each transaction submitted within this report occured between September 1984 and April 1986. Recordings during
1986 involving office building sites within the City are scarce. In this analyses, we have applied a 5% annual appreciation rate to older data.
Location - The subject site is located at Pine Avenue and
Harding Street, immediately south of the downtown commercial district and west of Interstate 5. The site is located just outside the Village Area Redevelopment Plan. As shown by enclosed aerial photograph, surrounding land usages include older single-family residential, apartments, day school, church and school facilities. The
area is also in close proximity to Carlsbad State Beach. Other than school property, the area appears fully developed and new construction would generally require removal of existing improvements. Streets in the area are publicly maintained, in good condition. Access to the subject site from Interstate 5 is provided from Elm Avenue to Jefferson Street. Water and sewer mains, adequate to serve additional development are located in Harding Street or Pine Avenue. In the comparison process, location of comparable data was considered and adjustments made to
reflect freeway influence, proximity to major developments and similar value characteristics.
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
I I ,I 25
c
siac/utiiitv - POT valuation pu~pose~~ the subject site is
a vacant, 3102=acre legal parcel available for development
as an office site. The property is level, at street giade and drainage appears adequate. Utilities are located in the street, the site is totally usable and unusual grading or fill would not be required prior to development. Market data available for analysis ranges from 7,000 square feet to 6.05-acres of total area. Data submitted is generally level or slightly undulating, at street grade requiring little or no additional site work prior to construction. In each case, municipal utilities are located in the street and each parcel fronts paved, public access. Topography and availability of utilities is a factor as it relates to development cost. Transactions involving very small parcels may also reflect a higher per-square-foot indication than may be applicable for a substantially
larger site. In the adjustment process, consideration was given to these physical characteristics.
4. Zoninq - The subject site is currently under public ownership and use, zoned Open Space with a General Plan designation of E, or Elementary School. Per client instruction, value conclusion assumes a vacant, legal and separate parcel available for development with an office use. In the City of Carlsbad, this would require a commercial zoning. Market data items included within this report have a Commercial or Light Industrial zoning designation. Not all sites used as comparables are developed as office sites however each is representative of commercial land values within the City. In the adjustment process, consideration was given to highest and
best use potential of comparables as they relate to the
subject site.
A summary of each land transaction follows.

CORRELATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE 47
The property which is the subject of this report is located within the southwest quadrant of Pine Avenue and Harding Street, west of Interstate 5 and immediately south of the
downtown business, district within the City of Carlsbad. Surrounding land usages include school facilities, day school, church, apartments and older single-family residential development in the $60,000-$90,000+ price range generally. Street system in the immediate vicinity is the traditional grid-pattern, publicly maintained, in good condition generally. All customary municipal utilities are also available and sufficient for additional development. Interstate 5 is located immediately east with reasonably convenient access provided at Elm Avenue. Zoning/General Plan designation in the immediate vicinity is generally High
Density Residential allowing 15-23 dwelling units per acre. The subject site is located just outside and south of the Village Area Redevelopment Plan approved April, 1981. Sub Areas 4 and 7 (see enclosed project map) are located nearest
the subject site and proposed improvements within these areas will include neighborhood commercial uses, auto-related
services, vocational educational centers, residential and service commercial/office uses.
The City of Carlsbad has been experiencing a substantial increase in population and development activity over the past few years. Citizens of Carlsbad are very concerned about the City's rapid growth and desire a lower rate of development in order to permit effective advanced planning and establishment of adequate municipal services such as streets, water, sewage
disposal and other customary services. As such, Carlsbad voters passed a growth initiative in November 1986 in the form of Proposition E. A copy of this proposition is included in the Addenda section of this report.
Physical characteristics of the site include a level, 3.02-acre parcel at grade with each street frontage. The site appears totally usable, drainage appears adequate and unusual fill or grading should not be required upon redevelopment.
Each street frontage is paved, publicly maintained in good condition. Municipal utilities are available with water and sewer mains located in Harding Street and Pine Avenue. A paved alley parallels the westerly property boundary. Current zoning designation is Open Space and General Plan is E, or Elementary School.
As shown by enclosed photographs and graphics, the subject parcel is part of a larger 10.51-acre tract owned by Carlsbad Unified School District. The site is occupied by substantial older public improvements utilized as an education center. The City and Carlsbad Unified School District are negotiating City

acquisition of the site to facilitate design and construction of a joint City of Carlsbad Senior Citizens Center and District administrative office complex, Per client instruction, value conclusion assumes a vacant, legal and
separate 3.02-acre parcel available for development consistent with an office use. Within the City of Carlsbad, this would
require a commercial zone. As such, the appraisers have not considered the traditional concept of highest and best use in arriving at a value conclusion for this property.
In valuing the subject site, utilizing a Direct Sales Analysis Method of valuation, the appraisers have followed a path of investigation and methodology as described in the Valuation section. Market data items submitted within this report were considered most comparable for valuation purposes and should not be considered as a complete list of all market activity within our search area. Additional data has been retained in a
work file and was useful in refining the appraisers judgment, Recent sale involving a directly comparable site was unavailable for analysis. Enough reasonably comparable data was available, after adjustment, to arrive at a supportable value conclusion. Due to a lack of recent recordings in the immediate vicinity, focus of our sales search included the entire city. Adjustments to market data were considered for time, location, zoning, size/utility and other pertinent value
characteristics. On an unadjusted basis, market data available suggests a commercial land value range within Carlsbad of $7.63 to $21.43 per square foot, Price-per-square-foot is the unit of comparison utilized by the market in valuing/marketing commercial sites. This unit of comparison is also used by the
appraiser in the adjustment process. Comments about each
comparable transaction and its comparison to the subject property follows.
Market Data Item No. 1 ($12 per square foot) is the October 1984 purchase of a 7,000 square foot interior parcel located along Roosevelt Street, near Walnut, immediately west of the subject. This site is located in the redevelopment area with a commercial land use designation. An older commercial structure was removed in favor of an auto-service facility currently under construction. By comparison to the subject, this parcel is not directly comparable being substantially smaller, different use and located within the redevelopment area. However, it is a general reflection of commercial land values in the immediate vicinity. It is an older sale, requiring an
upward time adjustment, Smaller parcels generally reflect a
higher per-square-foot indication than a much larger parcel. Suggests a value conclusion for the subject site in the $11 per square foot range to be reasonable.
Market Data Item No. 2 ($11.43 per square foot) is the September 1984 purchase of a 10,500 square foot interior parcel located along Roosevelt Street near Walnut in the
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
49
redevelopment area. This site is also designated for a
commercial use and is vacant at the present time. By
comparison to the subject, it is substantially smaller with a different highest and best use potential but also is a general
indicator of commercial land values in the immediate vicinity after a time adjustment.
Market Data Item No. 3 ($16.43 per square foot) is also located along Roosevelt Street, immediately south of Elm Avenue. This 7,000 square foot site sold in October 1984 and a restaurant was subsequently completed. It is located within the redevelopment area with a commercial land use designation. This transaction suggests that land values increase with a closer proximity to Elm Avenue and the downtown commercial core. By comparison to the subject, this site is substantially
smaller, in closer proximity to the commercial core and a
different use. An upward time adjustment is indicated to reflect the older date of sale. Overall, considered superior in terms of location, a downward unit value adjustment is indicated for size and suggests a lower unit value conclusion
for the subject to be appropriate,
Market Data Item Nos. 4A and 4B ($20.95 per square foot combined) involve a 21,000 square foot corner parcel located at Grand Avenue and Jefferson Street in the downtown commercial core. For the purpose of analysis, these transactions were considered together as they were acquired by a common purchaser and will be developed jointly with a professional office building, Acquisition date was November 1984 and October 1985. By comparison to the subject, considered superior in terms of location, suggesting a lower per-unit value conclusion for the subject to be reasonable. An upward time adjustment is indicated.
Market Data Item No. 5 ($12.92 per square foot) is the November 1985 purchase of a 1.51-acre parcel located along the Interstate 5 corridor on Avenida Encinas, south of the downtown commercial core. This site has good freeway visibility/access and is located in a developing area where motels and a Raiser medical facility was recently completed.
An upward time adjustment is indicated. Considered superior to the subject in terms of location and highest and best use potential, suggesting a lower unit-value conclusion to be reasonable.
Market Data Item No. 6 ($14.14 per square foot) is the
December 1984 purchase of a 6.05-acre parcel located on Palomar Airport Road at Interstate 5. A large office complex was subsequently completed and additional space is planned. This is a developing area of south Carlsbad removed from the downtown business district. The site provides good freeway
LEE C. JOHNSON COMPANY
50
visibility and access. Zoning is industrial. By comparison to
the subject, considered superior in terms of location and highest and best use potential,-suggesting a lower unit-value conclusion to be reasonable. An upward time adjustment is indicated.
Market Data Item No. 7 ($7.63 per square foot) is the
September 1985 purchase of a 1.96-acre parcel located in the Carlsbad Research Center adjacent north of Palomar Airport.
This is a developing office/RbD park and a headquarters office
building was subsequently constructed on this site. Zoning is Heavy Commercial-Light Industrial. By comparison to the subject, this property is considered inferior due primarily to
a less centralized location. Suggests a higher unit value conclusion to be reasonable.
Market Data Item No. 8 ($8.28 per square foot) is the February 1986 purchase of a 2.94-acre parcel also located within the Carlsbad Research Center near Palomar Airport. An office building is planned for the site and zoning is Heavy Commercial-Limited Industrial. By comparison to the subject, considered inferior due primarily to less centralized location suggesting a higher unit value conclusion to be reasonable.
Market Data Item No. 9 ($8.02 per square foot) is the February 1985 purchase of a 1.16-acre parcel located in the Palomar Airport Business Park adjacent south of Palomar Airport. This is also a recently developing office/industrial area. By
comparison to the subject, this site is considered inferior due to location. An upward time adjustment is indicated.
On an adjusted basis, market data available suggests a unit value conclusion for the subject site of $10 to $12 per square foot to be reasonable. There have been few recorded commercial
land transactions within the downtown area of Carlsbad over
the past few years. Development activity within this city has been substantial in all market segments including commercial, industrial and residential. This activity is occurring primarily in the south Carlsbad area around Palomar Airport and Interstate 5 corridor. Downtown redevelopment has been a positive influence on the commercial core and continued
progress is anticipated. There is a demand within the City for well-located office sites. The subject neighborhood is generally fully developed and new construction would usually require removal of existing improvements. Positive value characteristics of the subject site include proximity to the downtown commercial core and convenient access to Interstate 5 and civic center. The site is level and should not require any unusual grading prior to redevelopment. Municipal utilities
are available and adequate to serve a new project.

After consideration and analysis of available market
information, we believe a reasonable value conclusion for the subject site to be $1,447,000 or $11 per square foot of site area calculated as follows:
131,551 s.f. @ $ll/s.f. = $1,447,061 Rounded to...........$1,447,000
Again, it is important that users of this report, are aware the
subject site is currently part of a larger 10.51-acre parcel
owned by Carlsbad Unified School District. Current zoning
designation is Open Space. Per client instruction, value conclusion assumes a legal and separate 3.02-acre parcel,
available for development assuming a commercial office zoning and use. As such, the traditional concept of highest and best use has not been utilized by the appraisers in the valuation of this site. Existing improvements have been neither inventoried nor valued.
Our certification follows.
