The former Redevelopment Agency consolidated those parcels into the four (4) parcels described herein. The four (4) parcels are considered as one development site because of the unique nature and location of the site, which flank the Town Square Park.

Purpose of Acquisition The purpose of the acquisition was to remove blighted structures and then complete construction of the Town Square Park and the development of the mixed -use Town Square Marketplace. Current Zoning Old Town SP — Downtown Core. Property Type Vacant lots & small free public parking lot. Estimate of Current Property Value $1,881,810 — $4,014,528. This figure represents an estimate of $45 - $96 per square (41,818 SF) foot for all four (4) parcels. The price per square foot range in based on comparable properties within the Old Town District that are currently for sale. Proposed Sale Value While there is no proposed sale value, the estimated sale price would be closer to the $45 per square foot range, or a total of $1,881,810. This estimate is based on local market knowledge and the fact that a number of comparable vacant parcels in the Old Town area used to gauge the price per square foot range have superior locations with street frontage along the major roadway in the Old Town area. The comparable properties with superior street frontage are the properties with asking prices at the top end of the price per square foot range.

Description of Properties Potential for Transit- Oriented Development The site is located in the Old Town District which is within the Old Town Specific Plan (OTSP) area. The Old Town District is an urban downtown with a mix of commercial, retail, civic, and residential uses organized on a traditional street grid pattern that prioritizes the pedestrian. The OTSP requires the development of mixed -use projects that will continue to urbanize the district. The site is located near Riverside Transit Agency bus stops, a Greyhound bus stop, and the local City run Old Town Trolley stops. In addition, the site will be a short distance from the future Transit Center to be located just north of the Old Town District.

Due to the financial crisis, the selected development partner could not execute a transaction and the project was put on hold. The intent of the former Agency, and now the intent of the Successor Agency and City of Temecula, is to wait until the economy improves enough to place the site back on the market through the same RFP process. Identify the use or disposition of the property, which could include 1) the retention of the property for Governmental use, 2) the retention of the property for future development, 3) the sale of the property, or 4) the use of the property to fulfill an enforcement obligation The Successor Agency intends to transfer the properties to the City of Temecula.
