INTRODUCTION
Introduction Purpose and Scope of the Appraisal
FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 2
Purpose and Scope of the Appraisal
Purpose
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the property identified on page 8, hereinafter referred to as the “subject property”. This value will be used to establish a basis for the compensation due the owner of the property resulting from a partial acquisition. The intention of this appraisal service was that it was to be performed in such a manner that the results of the analysis, opinion, or conclusion would be that of a disinterested third party.
Intended Use and User The intended use of this appraisal is to assist the Arizona Department of Transportation in making improvements to the Interstate 19 traffic interchange at Ajo Way and related improvements. The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration are the intended users of this appraisal, although it is anticipated that a copy of the report could be provided to the property owner at the discretion of the client.
Definition of Value The decision of what value is being estimated is determined, at least in part, by the function of the appraisal and affects the scope of the appraisal. Different types of value that may be considered include market value, value in use, going-concern value, investment value, assessed value and insurable value. In light of the purpose of this appraisal, market value will be estimated in this appraisal and is defined as follows:
For the purposes of this article, “market value” means the most probable price estimated in terms of cash in United States dollars or comparable market financial arrangements which the property would bring if exposed for sale in the open market, with reasonable time allowed in which to find a purchaser, buying with knowledge of all of the uses and purposes to which it was adapted and for which it was capable.
Arizona Revised Statute 28-7091 [Title 28 Chapter 20 Article 6]
Exposure Period The definition of exposure time used in this report is in accordance with the Appraisal
Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. Exposure time is a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market, and is defined by the Appraisal Board as the, estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal.1
Based upon an analysis of the general market area and sales of similar property types in the area, normal exposure time for properties similar to the subject appears to be within a twelve month time period.

FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 3
Date of Valuation The significant dates utilized in this report are summarized in the table to the right. The effective date of this appraisal, which is the date of valuation, is the most recent date of physical inspection by the appraiser.
Property Rights Appraised In the appraisal of real property, there are many concepts that must be understood and applied. One of these concepts relates to the rights inherent in the ownership of real property.
Real property appraisal involves not only the identification and valuation of a variety of different rights, but also the analysis of the many limitations on those rights, and the effect that the limitations have on value.2
The fee simple title is regarded as an estimate without limitations or restrictions. Partial interests are created by selling, leasing, or otherwise limiting the “bundle of rights” in the fee simple estate, resulting in something less than the complete fee simple estate. An appraisal assignment may require the appraisal of fee simple title or a partial interest such as a leasehold estate or an easement.
The three most common types of property rights involved in the appraisal process are defined below. 3
Fee simple estate absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate; subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat.
Leased fee estate the ownership interest held by the lessor, which includes the right to receive the contract rent specified in the lease plus the reversionary right with the lease expires.
Leasehold estate the right held by the lessee to use and occupy real estate for a state term and under the conditions specified in the lease.
The appraisal of the fee simple interest in the subject property is being presented in this report, subject to “Schedule B” of the right of way title report prepared for the subject property.
The lease on the property creates both leased fee and leasehold estates, but any value these interests in the property may have is beyond the scope and purpose of this appraisal. No attempt has been to place a value on either the leased fee estate held by the property owner or the leasehold estate held by the tenant.

Scope of Work
The appraisal process is an orderly set of procedures that is undertaken to solve a problem concerning the value of real estate. These procedures help direct an appraiser to identify the particular appraisal problem and lead to reporting its solution to the client. The initial step in this process is the definition of the appraisal problem. This is accomplished through the identification of the real estate, the date of value to be utilized, the property rights to be appraised, and the type of value sought to be estimated.
After the appraisal problem is identified, general data on the market and the subject property is collected. This data includes information about the state, county, city, neighborhood, and the subject site and improvements. This information is then examined to conclude a highest and best use of the property being appraised. It is also during this stage in the process that any potentially applicable comparable cost, rental and sales market data is collected for analysis in the valuation of the subject property.
Area Analysis Research during the preparation of this appraisal included a regional analysis as well as analysis of the more immediate area surrounding the subject property. Primary sources of information are cited within the body of this report and include the United States Census Bureau, the United States Department of Labor and Center for Business Research, the Arizona Department of Commerce, the Arizona Department of Economic Security, the Arizona State University Center for Real Estate Theory and Practice, and various local and regional business publications.
Neighborhood data was gathered from the City of Tucson, as well as from a physical inspection of the area. Specific data pertaining to the metropolitan Phoenix land market was provided by the University of Arizona, CB Richard Ellis, Cushman & Wakefield | Picor, and real estate agents and brokers active in the market.
Property Description Primary sources of information regarding the description of the subject property include a physical inspection of the property by the appraiser on May 4, 2017, and several other dates.
Zoning information and information relating to the availability of utility infrastructure was provided by the City of Tucson. Title information is based upon the Right of Way Title Report provided by the client. Other sources of information utilized in this appraisal include the Office of the Pima County Recorder, Pima County Treasurer and Pima County Assessor, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Market Data Information The market data used in this appraisal was collected, in part, from real estate agents and brokers who are knowledgeable of the subject marketplace, local and regional publications, public records, CoStar Group, RealtyRates.com, and the Marshall Valuation Service. The appraiser researched comparable market transactions occurring within the subject market area, and found sufficient data to estimate a reliable value of the subject property under appraisement. The market search for similar properties was specifically concentrated in the southwest metropolitan Tucson area. The analysis of the market incorporated both historic and current data.
FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 5
Project and Acquisition Information The project for which the acquisition is being made from the subject property is the replacement of the Interstate 19 traffic interchange at Ajo Way. The project is approximately one mile in length along Interstate 19 generally between Ajo Way and Irvington Road. The primary purpose of the project is to construct a new Single-Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) but will also include drainage improvements, noise walls, and improvements to several local roadways.
The acquisition from the subject property includes only a part of the real property which is the subject of this appraisal. Engineering calculations provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation indicate that the permanent acquisition from the subject property contains 1,720 square feet. A temporary construction easement measuring 3,393 square feet is also being acquired for the project. The subject property is shown on preliminary right of way drawings identified as Drawing No. D-10-T-422, Sheet 6 dated April 2014 (revised February 10, 2017) and prepared by Michael Baker International.
After all the data is gathered, an analysis of the market and subject property is undertaken.
This is done to gain an understanding of the market and subject property so that informed conclusions as to the value of the subject property can be formulated. One of the primary objectives of this analytical process is to assist the appraiser in determining the highest and best use of the subject property, as if vacant and as improved, if applicable. The data and analysis is then applied to the three traditional approaches to value: the cost approach, the sales comparison (or market) approach, and the income capitalization approach, if applicable.
The final step in the appraisal process is the reconciliation or correlation of the conclusions derived from the approaches to value utilized. In the reconciliation, the appraiser considers the relative applicability of each of the approaches and then examines the range provided by the indications of value from each applicable approach to value. The appraiser must consider the strength and weaknesses of each approach and the reliability of each indicator as it relates to the subject property.
The final value estimate may be stated as a single figure, a range, or a combination of both. This appraisal assignment also includes analyses beyond the traditional appraisal process. A discussion of the right-of-way valuation process is found below.
Under Standards Rule 2-2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, an appraiser may communicate the results of an appraisal in either an “Appraisal Report” or a “Restricted Appraisal Report”. The primary difference between the report formats is who may rely on the appraisal. The Appraisal Report format was chosen for this appraisal assignment. The depth of discussion presented in this report is based upon the scope of the appraisal assignment and the stated intended use and users.
The scope of this report includes the accumulation and analysis of pertinent and sufficient market data in order to employ a meaningful and appropriate valuation methodology in the appraisal of the fee simple interest in the property that is the subject of this report. This appraisal report is written in accordance with the guidelines and standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the Code of Ethics of the American Society of Appraisers, the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Uniform Act, 49 CFR Part 24, and the Arizona Department of Transportation.
FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 6
Right-of-Way Appraisal Methodology This appraisal will be used to establish a basis for compensation due resulting from an acquisition involving the property to be appraised. The proposed acquisition by the Arizona Department of Transportation is considered to be a “partial” acquisition since only a portion of the property is needed for the traffic interchange project. As a result, the scope of this appraisal assignment includes an analysis of the subject property both before and after the proposed acquisition. The analysis begins with the application of the appraisal process to the subject property prior to the acquisition. Subsequently, the value of the part acquired is based, in large part, upon the facts and conclusions made in the appraisal of the subject property. The subject property is then appraised as if the acquisition has been made, the project has been completed in the manner proposed, and the extent of any severance damages and/or special benefits is explored based upon the effects of the acquisition upon the remaining subject property after the hypothetical project completion as of the date of valuation.
Limiting Conditions
The underlying assumptions and limiting conditions pertaining to this report are contained in the “Certificate of Appraiser” immediately following the “Auditing Breakdown” section of this report, as well as found in Addendum A. These assumptions and limiting conditions are an integral part of the report and are only placed at the end to facilitate reading of the report, not to minimize their importance.
Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions The Appraisal Foundation defines an extraordinary assumption as, “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, as of the effective date of the assignment results, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”4 There have been no extraordinary assumptions made in the appraisal of the property for this assignment.
A hypothetical condition is, “a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of analysis”, as defined by The Appraisal Foundation5. This appraisal is prepared under the following hypothetical conditions:
1. Project influence on the valuation of the subject prior to the highway project is disregard as required by Arizona Revised Statute 28-7097 which states, “In acquiring property for transportation purposes pursuant to this article, when determining the market value of the property to be taken and the market value of the remainder, if any, in the before condition, a decrease or increase in the market value of the real property before the date of valuation caused by the public project for which the property is to be acquired or by the likelihood that the property would be acquired for the project shall be disregarded.”
2. The “remaining” subject property is appraised as of the date of valuation under the hypothetical condition that the acquisition has been made, the project has been constructed, and the extent of any severance damages and/or special benefits is explored based upon the effects of the acquisition upon the remaining subject property.

FACTUAL DATA
Factual Data Identification of the Real Estate
FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 8
Identification of the Real Estate
The first step in the appraisal process is the definition of the appraisal problem, which includes the identification of the real estate to be appraised. There are several ways to identify a property, including by reference (if the property is named), by address and by the identity of a physical entity in a legal description.
Determination of the Larger Parcel
The determination of a larger parcel is important in the highest and best use analysis of the property to be appraised. The larger parcel can be all or part of the entire ownership, or “parent parcel”, and there may be multiple larger parcels within a parent parcel. The Appraisal Institute defines a larger parcel as follows:
In governmental land acquisitions and in valuation of charitable donations of partial interests in property such as easements, the tract or tracts of land that are under the beneficial control of a single individual or entity and have the same, or an integrated, highest and best use. Elements for consideration by the appraiser in making a determination in this regard are contiguity, or proximity, as it bears on the highest and best use of the property, unity of ownership, and unity of highest and best use. In most states, unity of ownership, contiguity, and unity of use are the three conditions that establish the larger parcel for the consideration of severance damages. In federal and some state cases, however, contiguity is sometimes subordinated to unitary use. 6
In this instance, the larger parcel for this appraisal assignment is determined to be the property identified as assessor parcel number 120-01-001M. This parcel comprises the entire ownership of DSR Tucson, LLC, at this location and meets the condition of ownership, contiguity and unity of highest and best use.
The purpose of this section of the report is to identify the property only. A physical description of the property to be appraised can be found later in this report beginning on page 22 of this report. The property that is the subject of this report may be commonly identified as follows:

FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 9
Ownership and Occupancy
Ostensible Owner
According to public records, DSR Tucson, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, holds title to the subject property as of the date of valuation.
Five Year Sales History The current vesting of the subject property is established by a deed recorded with the Pima
County Recorder on May 15, 2013, as document number 20131350178. This most recent sale of the subject property sold at a recorded price of $1,790,000, and will be considered in the current valuation of the subject property. A previous sale of the property occurred in October 2012 and involved a transfer of the subject land. This sale is recorded as document number 20122750866 and at a recorded price of $350,000. This sale will also be considered in the current valuation of the subject land as if vacant. The appraiser has not discovered any evidence indicating that the subject property is currently offered for sale.
Owner Contact A letter dated April 14, 2017, was mailed to the owner of record indicating that an appraisal of the property has been requested by the Arizona Department of Transportation, and offering the opportunity to meet with the appraiser at the property and discuss the appraisal. The letter was mailed to the owner at the following address:
DSR Tucson, LLC 2366 Buckingham Lane Los Angeles, CA 90077
A subsequent attempt was made to contact one of the members of DSR Tucson, LLC, Mr.
Dimitri Rapis via email (dimitri355@yahoo.com). The tenant, Dollar General, can be contacted by telephone at 520.789-6794 according to their website. A response from the property was not received. As a result, the appraiser did not meet with the owner during a physical inspection of the property at 12 noon on May 4, 2017.
Occupancy
When analyzing the bundle of rights inherent to the subject property, tenancies of the property must be examined. Tenancy is created when real estate ownership is divided into property interests. This can result from co-ownership of real estate, or when the right to use and occupy a property is conveyed through a lease. The occupancy of the property to be appraised as of the effective date of this appraisal is as follows:
Vacant Land Unoccupied Owner-occupied Tenant-occupied Number of Tenants 1

FAS 1.17-2701.00 FIRST APPRAISAL SERVICES 10
Regional Analysis
Location and Climate
The sunbelt state of Arizona is among the fastest growing in the nation with the majority of new residents moving into the metropolitan Phoenix area.
Known informally as the “Valley of the Sun”, this area covers only eight percent of the state’s 113,909 square miles but encompasses most of the urban core of Maricopa County where 60 percent of Arizona’s population lives. This large population base exerts considerable economic and political influence over the balance of the state and contributes to making metropolitan Phoenix the largest trade center in the southwestern United States.
Geographically, the subject region is located in southern Arizona and can generally be described as encompassing all of Pima County. The region is situated approximately two hours south of the urban core of the metropolitan Phoenix area. The geography of Pima County ranges from low desert in the western portion of the county to more mountainous regions in the eastern part of the county. The Santa Catalina Mountains located on the northeast edge of Tucson includes Mount Lemmon at an elevation of 9,157 feet above sea level. Pima County contains a total land area of 9,189 square miles. The federal government owns or controls 71% (including Tribal lands), the State of Arizona and local governments own or control 17%, with the remaining 12% in private ownership. The City of Tucson is the Pima County seat of government and located in the northeastern portion of the county.
Climate is one of the most attractive features of the State and the metropolitan Tucson area, with a year-long average of nearly 78 percent sunshine. The average annual daily high temperature is 83 degrees, and the average annual low is 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
Much of southern Arizona, including the Tucson area, is considered to be arid with and annual precipitation of 11.65 inches. The coldest months are December, January and February, while the hottest months are June, July, August and September.
Although generally moderate, the summer months can become quite hot with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Economic Trends
The historical principal industries in Arizona have been agriculture, mining, trade and services. Through the years, there has been a shift in the State’s industrial structure, with significant declines in mining and agriculture in relation to other sectors. Agriculture and mining remain significant forces in the local economy of some parts of rural Arizona. Principal industries of the region include tourism, manufacturing and high-tech industries. The largest employers in the area include Raytheon Missile Systems and The University of Arizona which both employ more than 10,000 people each. The Davis Monthan Airforce Base, Tucson Unified School District and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. each employ more than 7,000 employees.
The gross state product for Arizona, the counterpart to the national gross domestic product
(GDP), had been increasing prior to 2007. The gross state product is the sum of gross state product originating from all industries in the State. This is a measurement of the State’s output, which was estimated to be $179,260 million in 2000. By 2007, the Arizona GDP had increased to $244,906 million, but decreased to $221,524 million by 2009. The Arizona GDP saw a small increase in 2010 and again in 2011 to its current level of $309,103 million.10 According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis website, Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in every state and the District of Columbia in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to statistics on the geographic breakout of GDP released today by the U.S.
Bureau of Economic Analysis. Real GDP by state growth ranged from 3.4 percent in Texas to 0.1 percent in Kansas and Mississippi (table 1 and chart 1). Finance and insurance; retail trade; and professional, scientific, and technical services were the leading contributors to U.S. economic growth in the fourth quarter.
Information services grew 6.4 percent in 2016. This industry contributed to growth in 46 states and the District of Columbia. The largest contributions to growth occurred in Washington and California; these states grew 3.7 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively.

Forecast Data
George W. Hammond, Ph.D., EBR Director with the Eller College of Management at The
University of Arizona, reports
The Arizona economy slowed during the fourth quarter of 2016, with jobs rising very little over the year. Job growth was down from third quarter performance and even slower than national gains. New population estimates from the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity suggest continued slow population increases statewide and in the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). Further, Arizona’s merchandise exports to the world (and to Mexico) declined last year.
Overall, the Arizona economy continues to expand and the prospects for somewhat stronger growth are on the horizon. A modest acceleration of the U.S. economy will help push Arizona’s gains up during the next two years, but it is important to keep the risks in mind at this point. There is currently a high degree of uncertainty surrounding federal tax, trade, immigration and regulatory policy. Further, there is uncertainty about the ultimate impact of Arizona’s new minimum wage requirements. As this uncertainty gradually clears in coming months and years, we will have a better idea of the possible impacts. Stay tuned.
The state outlook depends in part on future national economic performance. The national forecast calls for continued growth, which accelerates in the near term and then tapers off as time passes and demographic forces slow gains.
The forecast calls for real GDP growth to accelerate from 1.6% in 2016 to 2.3% in 2017 and again to 2.6% in 2018. Stronger growth in 2017 is related to easing of the inventory correction and stronger energy sector investment. A policy-related boost to growth is expected in 2017-2018, as tax cuts, increased government spending, and deregulation spur gains. Thereafter, real GDP growth decelerates to just below 2.0% per year by 2026. In contrast, job growth gradually decelerates as the aging of the baby boom generation drives down labor force gains.
One key force driving economic growth is productivity. U.S. productivity gains have been very sluggish since the end of the Great Recession. The forecast calls for productivity to accelerate in the near term, rising to rates similar to past history. Keep in mind that if this does not occur, then the U.S. economy will post slower real GDP growth and likely faster inflation.
On the international front, the U.S. dollar is expected to rise by an additional 5.3% in 2017, against a broad market basket of currencies, before stabilizing in 2018 and then gradually depreciating during the next three years.
Continued national growth sets the stage for Arizona gains during the forecast. The state is forecast to continue adding jobs, residents, and income at pace above the national average. However, growth is expected to remain well below averages rates during the 30 years before the Great Recession.13

Real Estate Market Sectors
The following is a brief summary of the different sectors of the metropolitan Tucson area real estate market.
Single Family Housing Sector The total sales volume of home sales increased from December 2015 to December 2016 as despite a fewer number of listings. The median sale price ended 2016 at $179,000 which is 1.73% higher than in December 2015.
Tucson and Southern Arizona experienced a strong residential housing market in 2016. Increased sales along with less listing inventory resulted in a seller’s market at many price points and a moderate increase in home prices. It’s a function of supply and demand. Low interest rates and improved economic development in the area fueled housing growth and should continue to do so. Buyers may need to act quickly when purchasing and there is a new opportunity for homeowners who may be considering selling.14
Multifamily Housing Sector The vacancy rate for conventionally-operated, stabilized units decreased by 0.35% from the previous quarter, while improving 0.28% from one year ago to 6.52%. The Northwest Tucson submarket posted the lowest fourth quarter vacancy of 5.24%. The submarket with the second lowest vacancy was the Catalina Foothills at 5.45%, followed by East Tucson at 5.50%. The highest vacancy rate of 17.56% occurred in the Southeast Tucson submarket. Eight of Tucson’s 15 submarkets experienced occupancy gains, with the greatest improvements occurring in Tucson Mountain Foothills (-2.12%) and South Tucson/Airport (-2.09%). Overall net absorption in Q1 2017 increased by 472 units. Over a one-year period, Metropolitan Tucson experienced an 808 unit increase in absorption. Northwest Tucson saw the greatest improvement (252 units) while Southwest Tucson suffered the largest decline, with negative absorption of 47 units.
