Successor Agency to the Community
Redevelopment Agency of Atascadero
Long Range Property Management Plan
and Broker Opinion Of Value
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council, in the Capacity of Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment
Agency of Atascadero, adopt the Draft Resolution to submit the Long-Range Property
Management Plan and Broker Opinion of Value to the Oversight Board.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the dissolution of Redevelopment in California and Pursuant to Health and
Safety Code (HSC) Section 34191.5, the Department of Finance (DOF) has stated that
it will issue a finding of completion to the Successor Agency once appropriate conditions
were met and verified.
On March 8, 2013, the City of Atascadero received a letter from the Department of
Finance notifying the City that a Finding of Completion has been granted. The letter
specified that the Agency is required to submit a Long-Range Property Management
Plan to Finance for review and approval, per HSC section 34191.5, within six months
from the date of the letter.
The Draft Long-Range Property Management Plan summarizes a list of eight assets
owned and controlled by the Successor Agency. Only one of the assets, the temporary
City Hall, is a property that includes fee simple land. The property is proposed in the
Long-Range Property Management Plan to be liquidated through a disposition process.
This building is a temporary relocation of City Hall due to damage sustained in the 2003
San Simeon Earthquake. There is currently a lease agreement between the City and
the Former Community Redevelopment Agency (now the Successor Agency). FEMA
funds have been used to pay for the lease and are currently under dispute. The other
seven assets include one easement agreement and six improvements that are located
on City property.
ITEM NUMBER: SA C – 1
DATE: 07/09/13
Once the Successor Agency reviews and approves the Draft Long-Range Property
Management Plan, the Plan will be submitted for approval by the Oversight Board.
Pending approval from the Oversight Board, the Plan will be submitted to the DOF. The
DOF will review the Plan and pending approval, the temporary City Hall property may
be sold. As part of the Long-Range Property Management Plan, there is a Broker
Opinion of Value (BOV) that has been completed on the temporary City Hall. The BOV
will assist with the sale of the building once the Property Management Plan has been
approved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In light of the pending dispute with FEMA regarding the temporary City Hall, the
Recommendation in the property management plan is that the temporary City Hall be
sold and that the sale proceeds be placed into a segregated account of the Successor
Agency (“Segregated Account”) pending a resolution of the dispute with FEMA.
Depending upon the resolution of the dispute with FEMA, there may or may not be
revenue from the sale of the temporary City Hall available to be distributed to affected
taxing agencies per AB 1484. If the revenue is available to be distributed to the affected
taxing agencies, the taxing agencies will receive their proportional share of the
proceeds.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background & Purpose

2012), requires each Successor Agency (“SA”) to prepare and approve a Long-Range Property
Management Plan (“LRPMP”) that addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of
the former redevelopment agency. Properties held by a successor agency cannot be disposed
of until the State Department of Finance (“DOF”) has approved the LRPMP. This document is
the LRPMP for the Successor Agency to the former Atascadero Community Redevelopment
Agency.
1.2 Successor Agency Asset Summary

Agency Lease
Agreement
In May 2005, a Lease Agreement was entered into between City of
Atascadero and Atascadero Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
for the temporary City Hall for a four year term. In February 2010, the
City and CRA entered into another Lease Agreement for the temporary
City Hall for the period of March 1, 2010 and expired on December 31,
2012. The Agreement continues today on a month-to-month basis. The
consideration for the lease is $31,133.00 per month which was paid by
the City to the CRA and to the Successor Agency of the CRA. The City
received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
reimbursement for the rental payments that the City paid to CRA and to
the Successor Agency. There is currently a dispute between the City
and FEMA regarding the reimbursement payments which may impact
the disposition of the sale proceeds of the temporary City Hall.

Buyer
Continued public service as temporary City Hall for next 3 – 9 months, then
disposition to an owner that will attract retail user(s) which conforms to the adjacent
uses in downtown Atascadero. In light of the pending dispute with FEMA regarding
the temporary City Hall, the Recommendation is that the temporary City Hall be sold
and that the sale proceeds be placed into a segregated account of the Successor
Agency (“Segregated Account”) pending a resolution of the dispute with FEMA.
Depending upon the resolution of the dispute with FEMA, there may or may not be
revenue from the sale of the temporary City Hall to be distributed to affected taxing
agencies per AB 1484.

Agreement
There is currently no active lease for the portable building which the

require the Successor Agency to pay the cost of having it demolished.
This cost of demolition is estimated at $9,750.

Demolish
This asset is beyond its intended period of utilization and needs to be demolished so
that it no longer occupies City of Atascadero-owned land. The Successor Agency
will need to fund the cost of demolition so that the City-owned property can return to
its previous state prior to the Successor Agency-owned improvement being located
there. The Successor Agency intends to include the cost of removal/demolition on

Subject: Broker Opinion of Value – Temporary City Hall Building (6907 El Camino
Real, Atascadero, CA 93422; APN: 029-361-045)
I. Background & Valuation Summary
As part of efforts to comply with California Assembly Bill No. 1484 (“AB 1484”), the Successor
Agency to the former City of Atascadero Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) is
currently in the process of completing a Long-Range Property Management Plan (“PMP”), which
delineates the Successor Agency’s strategy for the utilization and/or disposition of real estate
assets of the dissolved City of Atascadero Redevelopment Agency (“RDA”).
Among the assets of the former RDA is the facility currently utilized by the City of Atascadero
(“City”) as a temporary City Hall (“Property”). The Property is recommended within the PMP for
liquidation by the Successor Agency, the proceeds from which will be distributed as property tax
to the corresponding local taxing agencies consistent with AB 1484.
The PMP must include an estimate of value for each former RDA property, and as part of PMP
preparation efforts, the City has requested that Kosmont Realty Corporation (“KRC”; California
brokerage firm license #01770428) prepare this Broker Opinion of Value (“BOV”) to evaluate the
range of fair market value of the Property as supported by current market conditions and other
relevant data.
Based on the sales comparison methodology, KRC estimates that the value of the Property is
between $40.00 to $52.00 per square foot (“PSF”), or $1.26 to $1.63 million.
II. Property Information
Location
The Property is comprised of a temporary City Hall facility and a surrounding parking lot. Prior
to serving as a temporary City Hall, the Property operated as a bowling alley. The Property is
approximately 2.26 acres in size and located in a cluster of other properties that includes a
movie theater and other retail businesses. The cluster of properties is located northwest of the
City of Atascadero

intersection of El Camino Real and Santa Ysabel Avenue. The Property address is 6907 El
Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422 (Assessor Parcel Number, or “APN” 029-361-045).
A Regional Map, City Location Map, Property Aerial Map, and a Parcel Map are provided as
Exhibits A, B, C, and D respectively.
Description
The building on the Property that houses the temporary City Hall is one story and is
approximately 31,436 square feet in size. Adjacent to the building and located on the Property
are 56 parking spaces in addition to shared parking space on neighboring properties controlled
CC&R agreement. Total lot size is approximately 2.26 acres.
Existing Conditions
The Property is zoned for commercial use (‘Downtown Commercial’ zoning designation and
‘Downtown’ General Plan designation) and located among a cluster of properties that contain
commercial uses. The property is adjacent to a large green belt on the western edge. A large
retail shopping center is located to the east, on the other side of Ysabel Avenue.
Once the City vacates the temporary City Hall building to reoccupy the original City Hall, it is
unlikely that a tenant could utilize the space in its current configuration. The Property is likely to
need extensive renovations allowing it to return to its previous commercial retail use.
It should also be noted that any potential buyer of the property will be taking possession of a
building that is completely vacant given that the City will no longer be using it as a temporary
City Hall. Given the retail vacancy rate in the City of Atascadero remains elevated (7.8% in the
first quarter of 2013)1 as a result of the recent recession, securing appropriate tenants for the
building may be challenging.
III. Valuation Methodology
Standard methodologies for the valuation of commercial property include the replacement cost
methodology, income capitalization methodology, and the sales comparison methodology.
Replacement Cost Methodology
Given the unique circumstance of the current use of the Property as a temporary City Hall, the
replacement cost methodology is less relevant, as the current replacement cost of the Property
would include the value of special improvements completed to retrofit the Property from its
previous use as a movie theater for its current governmental use. Should the property be
liquidated as recommended by the Successor Agency, significant renovations would be
necessary to restore the Property to income-producing retail occupancy conditions consistent
with Downtown Commercial zoning.

Income Capitalization Methodology
The income capitalization methodology is also deemed less relevant, due primarily to the lack of
comparable retail leases in the local area and significant uncertainties with regard to tenant
improvements necessary to restore the Property to income-producing retail conditions.
Sales Comparison Methodology
KRC utilizes the sales comparison methodology in this BOV, due primarily to the availability of
recent comparable property sales in the immediate local area. Four recent comparable sales
were evaluated on a price per-square-foot basis. The average range of sales price per-square-
foot was then adjusted to account primarily for necessary tenant improvements and the vacant
nature of the property when compared to fully-leased comparable sales.
IV. Valuation Analysis – Sales Comparison
Four recent comparable commercial sales were evaluated on a price per-square-foot basis:
Address Sale Date Lot
Acres
Building
SF Sales Price $ PSF
SUBJECT PROPERTY 2.26 31,436
8965 El Camino Real 4/23/2013 3.7 27,588 $1,375,000 $49.84
5890 Entrada Ave 12/28/2012 0.2 4,900 $375,000 $76.53
6900-02 El Camino Real 8/10/2012 1.4 11,400 $850,000 $74.56
8310 Morro Rd 3/15/2012 0.1 2,600 $125,000 $48.08
Based on the above comparable sales, values range from approximately $50 to $75 PSF. The
most recent comparable sale at 8965 El Camino Real ($50 PSF) most closely resembles the
Property in terms of building square footage and lot acreage. It should be noted, however, that
this building was fully-leased upon sale. Given the similarity to the comparable sale in the lower
half of the value range, the unadjusted range of the Property value is estimated at
approximately $50 to $65 PSF, or approximately $1.57 million to $2.04 million.
In order to account for the cost and risk associated with installation of significant tenant
improvements necessary to restore the Property to income-producing retails conditions and the
vacant nature of the property when compared to the fully-leased comparable sales, this range of
value is adjusted by an expense and vacancy risk factor of 20%, or approximately $10 to $15
per square foot as illustrated below:
Unadjusted $ PSF Unadjusted
Property Value Adjusted $ PSF Adjusted Property
Value
$50.00 $1,571,800 $40.00 $1,257,440
$55.00 $1,728,980 $44.00 $1,383,184
$60.00 $1,886,160 $48.00 $1,508,928
$65.00 $2,043,340 $52.00 $1,634,672

Based on the sales comparable analysis and the adjustment to account for the improvement
expense and vacancy risk, the value of the Property is estimated at approximately $40.00 to
$52.00 per square foot, or approximately $1.26 to $1.63 million.
VI. Conclusion – Broker Opinion Value
Based on the sales comparison methodology, KRC estimates the value of the Property between
approximately $40 to $52 per square foot, or approximately $1.26 to $1.63 million.
