SUMMARY OF SALIENT FACTORS AND CONDITIONS
A. Assignment
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA)'s assignment is to determine the fair reuse value for the
site and development interest being conveyed by the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") to Creekview Villas, LLC ("Developer"). Reuse value is defined as the highest price
in terms of cash or its equivalent which a property or development right is expected to bring for
a specified use in a competitive open market, subject to the specific covenants, conditions, and
restrictions imposed by the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA").
The DDA restrictions and guidelines affect the characteristics of the physical development and
other features and impose certain requirements relating to how the Project will be developed, to
the operation of the Project and to the transferability of the Developer's interest. The covenants
and conditions strongly affect the development economics of the Project and hence the value of
the interest to be conveyed to the Developer, as described in this report.
Among other obligations, the DDA requires the Developer to design and construct a 36-unit
affordable for-sale townhouse complex ("Project"). The project is known as Creekview Villas.
B. Project Description
The Project is proposed to consist of the following elements:
^ 36 affordable for-sale townhouse units, all of which will contain three bedrooms. The
DDA will restrict the units to Low- and Moderate-income households.
^ The Project will be configured in three-story, townhouse style buildings.
^ Each unit will include atwo-car private garage on the ground floor.
^ The project will include landscaped areas and a recreation area along the adjacent
canal.
C. Site/Location
The approximately 1.91-acre site to be conveyed by the Agency to the Developer is located
immediately east of th a South Mill Creek canal between 13t" Street and 14t" Street. The site is
located within the Southeast Redevelopment Project Area.
The proposed Project is a portion of the Redevelopment Agency's larger South Mill Creek
Mixed-Use Redevelopment project. Later phases of the larger project will include market rate
residential units, additional affordable units, and non-residential uses.

D. Zoning
This analysis presumes that zoning will permit the development of the Project in accordance
with the provisions of the DDA.
E. Present Use
The Site is currently vacant.
F. Reuse Conditions
The DDA includes covenants and conditions that impact the development economics and hence
the value of the interests conveyed to the Developer. The key restrictions are the following:
^ The units must be sold to qualified Low- and Moderate-income households.
^ A covenant will be recorded on each unit limiting the occupancy to income-qualified
households for a period of 45 years and imposing restrictions on re-sale of the units.
^ The Developer is to design and construct the Project within the times specified in the
Schedule of Performance. Speculation is not allowed.
G. Date of Valuation
December 2008
H. Fair Reuse Value
Reuse Value is defined as the highest price in terms of cash or its equivalent which a property
or development interest is expected to bring for a specified use in a competitive open market,
subject to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions imposed by the DDA.
As more particularly described in Section III of this report, it is concluded that the fair reuse
value of the interest being conveyed, given the specific covenants and conditions of the DDA, is
a negative $2 million. In other words, the Project cannot afford to pay for the land parcel (Site)
and, in addition, a $2 million subsidy is required by the Agency in order to render the Project
financially feasible.

II. NATURE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
A. Purpose of the Valuation
The Agency has established development criteria for the redevelopment of this Site with a 36-
unit affordable for-sale townhouse complex. These criteria serve as a guide in directing
development and are incorporated into a DDA. Fundamental to the development are the
covenants and conditions included in the DDA.
The DDA restrictions and guidelines affect the characteristics of the physical development and
other features and impose specific requirements relating to how the Project will be developed
and to the long-term affordability of the Project. The covenants and conditions strongly affect
the development economics of the Project and hence the value of the interest to be conveyed to
the Developer, as described in this report.
The purpose of this reuse valuation is to estimate the fair reuse value for the Site being
conveyed to the Developer, Creekview Villas, LLC, based upon the covenants and the
conditions included in the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA"). The reuse value
specifically requires compliance with the limiting conditions and assumptions of this report as
stated in Section IV.
B. Definition of Value
Fair reuse value is the fair market value in accordance with covenants, conditions, and
easements governing the sale of the property as contained in the DDA. It is the highest price in
dollar terms which the property would be expected to bring for the specified purpose in a
competitive and open market under the reuse conditions established by the Agency, with the
buyer (Developer) and seller (Agency) each acting prudently and knowledgeably, assuming the
price is not affected by undue stimulus. Also essential to an estimate of a fair market value is
the notion that the conveyance of the property will result in near-term development, not
speculation.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date under conditions
whereby:
1. Both parties are well informed and well advised, and is each acting prudently in what it
considers its own best interest.
2. Financing is on terms generally available for the use proposed at the date the property is
ready for construction.
3. The definition of reuse value is further augmented due to certain conditions imposed by
the Agency, and assumptions as follows:
t', p. k'r,n
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. 12/19/2008 `~ ~~
\\Sf-fs1\wp\10\10410\004\001-002(Reuse).doc Page 3 ~~~
O
a. The seller is a public agency having definite controls over the development. Due to
the complexity of the financing plan, the Developer must contend with a series of
regulations and controls, which are not common in the conventional real estate
market. The Agency will provide continued monitoring with respect to the ability of
the Developer to perform within prescribed conditions.
The Developer, like the Agency, is unique in the real estate market. Due to the
various development requirements and time restrictions imposed by the development
program, the potential developers are limited to individuals or organizations with
specialized expertise in developing affordable housing. In order to appeal to the
limited market of potential buyers, market value must be equated to the price a
restricted and limited market is willing to pay based upon risk and investment return
factors.
c. The Agency's development plan imposes development restrictions and/or
requirements, including that development must commence shortly after conveyance.
Accordingly, the market value must reflect the advantages created by the Project as
well as the requirements and limitations on land uses to be imposed on the
Developer by the Agency.
4. The Agency conveys the site to the Developer based upon the specific terms and
conditions agreed to in the DDA.
5. Development will proceed as agreed to in the Schedule of Performance.
C. Rights Valued
The rights valued assume that the Site is free and clear of all encumbrances except those
covenants, conditions, and easements specified in the DDA.
D. Function of this Report
It is understood that this report will be used to establish a fair reuse value for the Site, subject to
the covenants and conditions in the DDA, specifically the reuse conditions stated in this report.

III. REUSE VALUATION
The purpose of this analysis is to establish the reuse value of the Site being conveyed to the
Developer, subject to the specific terms and conditions of the Disposition and Development
Agreement ("DDA") that control the reuse of the Site.
The valuation of real estate is derived principally through three approaches to market value: the
cost approach, the market data comparison approach, and the income approach. From the
indications of these separate analyses and the weight accorded each, an opinion of value is
reached, based on the quantity and quality of the factual data considered, tempered by the
judgment and experience of the analyst who is utilizing commonly accepted methods and
techniques within the framework of the valuation process. The cost approach is not applicable
due to the fact that this valuation is a valuation of a vacant piece of land where a new Project
will be built.
The market data comparison approach to value is based upon the principle of substitution; that
is, when a property is replaceable in the market, its value tends to be set at the cost of acquiring
an equally desirable substitute property, assuming no costly delay in making the substitution.
The typical valuation technique used to estimate value through substitution involves the
collection and analysis of sales and listings data on various properties having as many similar
characteristics as the property being valued.
The DDA requires a specific Project with covenants and conditions restricting the use of the Site
to a 36-unit for-sale townhouse complex affordable to Low- and Moderate-income households.
As a result of these very specific conditions of the DDA, there are no truly comparable land
sales in the area that adequately reflects the unique aspect of the proposed development. Thus,
in our view, valuation based on comparable land sales for this Project is of sharply diminished
usefulness.
The income approach is based on the income and cost characteristics of the proposed Project.
For the purpose of determining the reuse value, this approach compares the difference between
the sales revenues that can be generated by sale of the units and the total costs to develop the
Project inclusive of a reasonable developer profit.
In the valuation of this Site, we have relied on the income approach to value.
A. Development Costs
The Developer's development cost estimate was reviewed for reasonableness by KMA. In terms
of the direct construction costs, it is important to note that the cost estimates are necessarily
preliminary given the preliminary level of project design and development and, therefore,
refinements to the budget will be made as the Project nears the start of construction. The

... ., ~ .i~k! _..,..
construction cost estimate does not assume payment of prevailing wages due to the fact that
the Agency is using only its Low/Mod Housing funds to financially assist the project.
Table 1 presents the estimated costs to develop the Project excluding land acquisition cost. As
shown, total development costs are estimated at approximately $8.06 million. The major
assumptions behind the development cost estimates are as follows:
Direct construction costs including Site Costs estimated at $5.89 million, or $91 per sq.
ft. of saleable building area;
Indirect costs such as A&E, permits and fees, taxes, and insurance estimated at $1.86
million;
^ Financing costs including construction loan interest estimated at $302,000.
The direct construction costs were estimated by the Developer and appear to us to be within a
reasonable range for the proposed project. Overall, the estimates of indirect and financing costs
also appear reasonable.
B. Sales Revenue
As shown on Table 2, the average sale price of the 36 units is estimated to be $196,000. The
sale price estimates are based on requirements of the California Community Redevelopment
Law which takes into account the Area Median Income for Low- and Moderate-income
households, adjusted for household size, and estimates with regard to mortgage underwriting,
property taxes, utilities, HOA and insurance dues, and the amount of the down payment made
by the home buyers. The total sale revenue generated by the project is estimated at $7.05
million. The net sale revenue, after consideration of sales commissions and closing costs, is
estimated at $6.74 million.
It should be noted that there may be some flexibility in the sale price of the six Low-income units
due to the fact that the Agency may provide down payment or other financial assistance to the
home buyers of the six Low-income units. The possibility of such assistance is provided for in
the DDA, which specifies that the Agency may provide home buyer assistance up to $100,000
for each of the six Low-income units. If such Agency assistance results in home prices higher
than those estimated in this Reuse Valuation, the conclusions in the Reuse Valuation are
subject to change.
It is also important to note that, despite the depressed condition of the present real estate
market, the Developer believes that conditions remain favorable for the proposed project due to
the fact that there is an on-going demand for affordable housing projects, the project will be
newly built and will include amenities not available in other homes on the market, and because
the construction loan needed for the project will be relatively small due to the Agency's financial
assistance. In addition, the Agency's experience with other affordable for-sale housing projects

,,~Vr^ L
in Bakersfield indicates that FHA mortgage financing remains available for Low- and Moderate-
income home buyers.
C. Residual Land Value (Reuse Value)
The residual land value is the amount by which the net sale revenues estimated to be generated
by the project exceeds the estimated costs to develop the project, including a reasonable factor
for developer profit. As shown on Table 2, it is estimated that an approximately $680,000 profit
will be generated by the Project. In our opinion, this is not an excessive profit for the proposed
project.
As shown on Table 2, the estimated development costs of $8.06 million plus the $680,000 of
developer profit exceeds the net sale proceeds expected to be generated by sale of the units by
$2.0 million. Therefore, the reuse value of the property is estimated to be a negative $2.0
million. In other words, the Project cannot afford to pay for the land parcel (Site) and, in addition,
a $2.0 million subsidy is required by the Agency in order to render the Project financially
feasible.

IV. CONCLUSIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
A. Opinion of Value/Conclusion
Section III of this report discussed the estimated reuse value of the Site. It is concluded that the
fair reuse value is a negative $2.0 million for the specific Project required to be developed on
the Site. In other words, the Project requires free land plus a $2.0 million subsidy in order for the
Project to be feasible.
This reuse value is subject to the reuse conditions and the limiting conditions stated in this report.
B. Reuse Conditions
The Project is subject to specified development standards and restrictions set forth in the DDA.
The DDA requires the development of a specific Project with covenants and conditions that
impact the development economics and hence the value of the Site conveyed to the Developer.
If the reuse conditions are changed, then the reuse value is subject to change. The most
important economic condition is that the 36-unit Project be sold to Low- and Moderate-income
households.
C. Statement of Limiting Conditions and Assumptions
The conduct of any valuation is necessarily guided, and its results influenced, by the terms of
the assignment and the assumptions that together form the basis of the study. The following
conditions and assumptions, together with lesser assumptions embodied in this report,
constitute the framework of our analysis and conclusions.
It is assumed that the title of the Site is good and marketable. No title search has been made by
KMA, nor have we attempted to determine the ownership of the Site. The value estimates are
given without regard to any questions of title, boundaries, encumbrances or encroachments. It
is assumed that all assessments, if any, are paid.
No legal description of the Site was furnished. In lieu of the legal description, our understanding
of the Project is based on the site plan provided to us by the Redevelopment Agency.
We assume that the Project will be in conformance with the applicable land use designation and
building ordinances over the economic life of the property.
Information provided by such informed local sources as the Redevelopment Agency,
governmental agencies, the Developer, financial institutions, realtors, buyers, sellers, and
others was weighed in the light in which it was supplied and checked by secondary means;
however, no responsibility is assumed for possible misinformation.
KMA is not required to give testimony or appear in court because of having made this valuation,
with reference to the Site in question, unless arrangements have been previously made therefore.

SUMMARY REPORT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 33433
OF THE
CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
ON A
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN
THE BAKERSFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AND
CREEKVIEW VILLAS, LLC
INTRODUCTION
The California Health and Safety Code, Section 33433, requires that if a redevelopment agency
wishes to sell or lease property to which it holds title and if that property was acquired in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, with property tax increment funds, the agency must first secure
approval of the proposed disposition and development agreement ("DDA") from its local
legislative body after a public hearing. A copy of the proposed DDA and a summary report that
describes and contains specific financing elements of the proposed transactions shall be
available for public inspection prior to the public hearing. As contained in the Code, the following
information shall be included in the summary report:
The cost of the agreement to the redevelopment agency, including land acquisition
costs, clearance costs, relocation costs, the costs of any improvements to be provided
by the agency, plus the expected interest on any loans or bonds to finance the
agreement;
2. The estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at the highest
and best use permitted under the redevelopment plan;
3. The estimated value of the interest to be conveyed in accordance with the uses,
covenants, and development costs required under the proposed agreement with the
Agency, i.e., the reuse value of the site;
4. An explanation of why the sale or lease of the property will assist in the elimination of
blight, as required by Section 33433; and
5. The purchase price or sum of the lease payments which the lessor will be required to
make during the term of the lease. If the sale price or total rental amount is less than the
fair market value of the interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at the highest and
best use consistent with the redevelopment plan, then the agency shall provide as part
of the summary an explanation of the reasons for the difference.

II. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
A. Description of the Site and the Proposed Development
Site
The approximately 1.91-acre site to be conveyed by the Agency to the Developer is located
immediately east of the South Mill Creek canal between 13'h Street and 14'h Street. The site is
located within the Southeast Redevelopment Project Area.
The proposed Project is a portion of the Redevelopment Agency's larger South Mill Creek Mixed-
Use Redevelopment project. Later phases of the larger project will include market rate residential
units, additional affordable units, and non-residential uses.
Developer
The Developer is Creekview Villas, LLC.
Development Description
The Project is proposed to consist of the following elements:
^ 36 affordable for-sale townhouse units, all of which will contain three bedrooms. The DDA
will restrict the units to Low and Moderate Income households.
• The Project will be configured in three-story, townhouse style buildings.
^ Each unit will include atwo-car private garage on the ground floor of each unit.
^ The project will include landscaped areas and a recreation area along the adjacent canal.
B. Key Terms of the DDA
The following are some of the key terms of the Agreement.
^ The units must be sold to qualified Low- and Moderate-income households.
^ A covenant will be recorded on each unit limiting the occupancy to income-qualified
households for a period of 45 years and imposing restrictions on re-sale of the units.
^ The Developer is to design and construct the Project within the times specified in the
Schedule of Performance. Speculation is not allowed.
^ The Agency will provide financial assistance to the project as described in the following
section.

III. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
The Agency purchased the 1.91-acre site in 2007 for $1.3 million. Per the DDA, the Agency will
convey the site to the Developer for $1 and take back a note for the amount of $1 million. The
take-back note will be forgiven when the project is completed and the units are sold to qualified
home buyers.
Per the DDA, the Agency will provide to the Developer $2 million in cash assistance to be used
to reimburse the Developer for eligible predevelopment and construction costs for the project.
The cash assistance will be provided in the form of a loan and will be funded with the Agency's
Low/Mod Housing funds. As with the take-back note for the site purchase, the $2 million loan
will be forgiven when the Project is completed and sold to qualified home buyers.
The Agency will also contribute up to $100,000 in financial assistance to each of the six buyers
of the Low-income units in the project, for a total of up to $600,000. The amount of such
assistance will be determined by the Agency at a later time. Finally, the Agency will incur costs
related to preparing the site for development, which the Agency estimates to cost no more than
$150,000. The total cost to the Agency is as follows:
Site Acquisition Cost $1,300,000
Offsite Infrastructure Costs (no more than) $150,000
Cash Assistance to Developer $2,000,000
Low-income Home Buyer Assistance (up to) 600 000
Total Agency Cost (up to) $4,050,000
Of the above costs, only the $2 million cash assistance is a cash contribution to the Developer.
To the extent that bonds have been or will be used to fund the Agency's costs outlined above,
the interest costs would not likely be significant on a discounted net present value basis due to
the fact that the annual discount rate applicable to the Agency's future payments would be
approximately equivalent to the Agency's annual borrowing costs.

IV. VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED
Reuse Value
The DDA includes covenants and conditions that impact the development economics and hence
the value of the interests conveyed to the Developer. The Reuse Valuation (the reuse value is
set forth in an accompanying report entitled "Reuse Valuation") assumes compliance with these
covenants and conditions and other conditions imposed by the Agency. The principal condition
of the DDA is that the Project be sold to qualified Low- and Moderate-income households. The
conclusion of the Reuse Valuation is that the Site, given the covenants and conditions in the
DDA, has a reuse value of a negative $2 million. In other words, the Project cannot afford to pay
for the land parcel (Site) and, in addition, a $2 million subsidy is required by the Agency in order
to render the Project financially feasible. This conclusion is consistent with the DDA which
specifies that the Agency will provide the Developer with free land and a $2 million cash
contribution.
Estimated Value at Highest and Besf Use
There is not a current appraisal of the subject site. However, Keyser Marston has reviewed
comparable land sales for residential use in the City of Bakersfield (residential is likely the
highest and best use of the site consistent with the uses permitted by the Redevelopment Plan).
Over the last approximately three years, residential land has been transacting in the City of
Bakersfield in the wide range of $3 to $11 per square foot, depending on a number of variables
including location, site size and configuration, and timing. Agency staff has estimated that the
value of the subject 1.91-acre site is $1,000,000, or approximately $12 per square foot. This
estimate falls at the upper end of the land sales reviewed.

V. ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT
The approximately 1.91-acre site to be conveyed by the Agency to the Developer is located
within the Southeast Redevelopment Project Area. Development of the proposed Project is a
portion of the Redevelopment Agency's larger South Mill Creek Mixed-Use Redevelopment Project.
Later phases of the larger project will include market rate residential units, additional affordable
units, and non-residential uses.
The Implementation Plan for the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project indicates that
the area suffers from a range of detrimental physical and economic conditions and that the
Agency has undertaken a comprehensive program of activities including housing assistance
programs and direct financial assistance to stimulate quality development. Redevelopment of
the subject site and the balance of the South Mill Creek Mixed-Use Redevelopment Project is
an important strategy in the Agency's efforts to remove blighting conditions from the area.
In addition, the Project will create 36 for-sale townhouse units for the community's Low- and
Moderate-income housing stock.

VI. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND REASONS THEREFORE
As described in Section III of this report, the Agency is providing the Developer with free land
and $2 million in cash assistance in order to render the Project financially feasible, which is
consistent with the fair reuse value of the site with the covenants and conditions governing its
development. The principal condition affecting the economic value of the Project is that the units
be sold to Low- and Moderate-income households (see accompanying report entitled "Reuse
Valuation").
The reason why the reuse value is less than the market value at its highest and best use is that
the DDA imposes reuse conditions that impact on the economics of the Project, principally that
the Project be restricted to Low- and Moderate-income households.

VII. CONFORMANCE WITH FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Among the stated goals of the Agency's Implementation Plan for the Southeast Bakersfield
Redevelopment Project are the following, both of which the proposed Project helps the Agency
achieve:
1. Promote the comprehensive planning, redesign, rezoning, replanning, reconstruction
and/or rehabilitation in such a manner to achieve a higher and better utilization of the
land in the Project Area.
2. Create and promote home ownership and improved housing facilities for individuals and
families.
The Kern Council of Governments in its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) makes a
determination of the number of housing units needed at each affordability level in the City of
Bakersfield for the period 2006 to 2013. According to the RHNA, approximately 35% of the
City's total housing need is for Low- and Moderate-income units during this time period. In the
proposed Project, 100% of the units will be affordable to Low- and Moderate-income
households. Therefore, the Project's distribution of affordability exceeds the City of Bakersfield's
overall need and helps to satisfy the community's need for affordable housing.
