PROPERTY HISTORY:
The property was acquired by its current ownership in January of 1966.

U 0 0
ZONING:
The subject property is currently zoned CBD, Central Business District, the
g� provisions of which zone are contained in the Addenda section of this report. The
following excerpt from the ordinance best describes the intent:
19.27.010 SCOPE. The CBD zone is intended to serve the needs of the downtown
area by allowing maximum ground coverage and expanding floor space and building
height limitations for the purpose of concentrating the maximum variety of facilities
for dispensing of commodities and rendering of services to the entire City.
Residential uses in a mixed occupancy are permitted and encouraged in this zone.
The areas for which this classification is intended are generally already developed
Jand, in some instances, facing obsolescence and deterioration. The provisions of
this classification are intended to encourage redevelopment of the land to its highest
and best use. (Ord. 1035/2 (part), 1972: prior code/9223). The ownership's retail
business conforms under the guidelines set for the CBD zoning.
9 PRESENT USE AND OCCUPANCY:
The subject property is improved with a one-story, concrete block structure
containing 1,500 sf of building area. The building is currently leased to Mr. Ed
Trujillo for his upholstery business at a rate of $400 per month.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE:
Highest and Best Use is an appraisal concept which has been defined as follows:
1. The reasonable and probable use that supports the highest present value of
vacant land or improved property, as defined, as of the date of appraisal.
2. The reasonably probable and legal use of land or sites as though vacant,
found to be physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible,
and that results in the highest present land value.
3. , The most profitable use.
Implied in these definitions is that determination of highest and best use takes into
account the contribution of a specific use to the community and community
development goals as well as the benefits of that use to individual property owners.
1) The Dictionary of Rc•al Estate Appraisal, published by the American Institute of
Read Estate Appraisers, copyright 1954, P. 152.
DONAHUE & COMPANY, INC.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE (Cont.):
The determination of the highest and best use opinion, therefore, requires an
analysis for the land as legally permitted, as if vacant. "For highest and best use of
land, as if vacant, a use must generally meet four criteria. The criteria are that the
highest and best use must be (1) physically possible, (2) legally permissible, (3)
financially feasible, and (4) maximally productive. These criteria should usually be
considered sequentially; it makes no difference that use is financially feasible if it is
physically impossible to construct an improvement or if such a use is not legally
permitted."2
The subject site contains 3,500 sf allowed for commercial/retail development. The
property fronts San Gabriel Avenue which is a major traffic thoroughfare through
the City of Azusa providing exposure to hundreds of passing automobiles daily. The
CBD zoning allows for a number of retail/commercial uses including the use
currently existing on the site and it would appear the highest and best use of the
subject site would be for commercial development.
The existing improvements conform within the zoning requirements and are capable
of deriving income in excess of the amount which would be necessary to provide a
reasonable income to the land. Therefore, the existing improvements are viable
with the highest and best use, the property's existing use.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION (Cont.):
Utilities: All utilities are available to the site provided by the
appropriate companies/agencies.
Easements: A title policy provided by Ticor Title Insurance
Company dated listed no easements affecting
the subject property.
Soils, Drainage &
Toxic Waste: This appraiser was not provided with a soils report on
the subject site but has assumed the site is free of toxic
- waste. This site appears to be capable of supporting
future construction based on review of structures
adjacent to the site and should achieve adequate
drainage after competent grading prior to construction.
The subject property is improved with a one-story concrete block building
containing a total area of 1,500 s£ The structure was constructed in approximately
1955. The structure has a wall height of approximately 11 ft. with 60 amp electric
service. No interior heating or air conditioning is provided with a roll built up
asphalt flat roof.
The interior of the subject has a dropped acoustic panel ceiling and is constructed of
fair quality materials in average condition. Parking is provided to the rear of the
site with access from the rear alley. Site coverage is 4301o.
CONFIRMATION/ACQUISITION AID:
A certified letter was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Ruelas explaining our assignment and
request for an appointment for inspection. The request was responded to timely
with an inspection made May 18, 1989.

Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested
September 24, 1986
Dear Merchant/Resident/Property Owner:
On May 25, 1986, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa
authorized preparation and distribution of a Recuest for Proposal
(RFP) to redevelop a site which.encompasses the property you
either own or conduct business upon (see attached site map). The
Redevelopment Agency intends to acquire all of the properties
comprising the site for conveyance to.a developer in accordance
with a written development agreement. The Agency expects to
commence acquisition during the next 6-9 months.
Your property or business, as the case may be, is located within
the Central Business District Redevelopment Project Area which
was originally approved by the City Council in 1978. Initially,
all property owners were provided an opportunity to submit
proposals for the redevelopment or rehabilitation of their
properties. The Agency subsequently entered into a few
agreements with property owners for the redevelopment of their
property. The Agency remains interested in extending
opportunities to existing property owners in the Project Area.
The Agency has adopted certain preferences for owners of land or
businesses who desire to remain in the Project Area, either at
their current location or at another location in the Project
Area. All other factors being equal, "owner participants"
213 East Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, California 91702 . Phone (818)334-512
September 24, 1986
Page 2
receive priority consideration over outside interests for the
redevelopment of project area sites. Consequently, the Agency
has enclosed the Request for Proposal which encompasses your
current site. You are entitled to prepare a proposal
encompassing your property and compete with other proposers on
the site. The Agency will evaluate a wide variety of factors as
more fully described in the Request for Proposals before
selecting a developer for the site. Proposals from Owner
Participants are due by Friday, November 14, 1986, at 12:00 p.m.
As stated in the RFP, a pre -proposal conference will be held on
October 3, 1986 at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the requirements of the
RFP and your rights as an owner participant.
As a preliminary expression of your participatory interest,
enclosed is a one-page statement of interest in participation
along with a copy of the "Rules Governing Participation and Re -
Entry Preferences for Property Owners, Operators of Businesses,
and Tenants". Please return the "Statement of Interest" in the
enclosed self addressed stamped envelope as soon as possible.
The Statement does not commit you to participate, but solely
expresses your initial intentions to the Agency.
If you have any questions, please contact Robb Steel,
Redevelopment Project Analyst at (818)334-5125, X307.
Sincerely,
Lloyd ood
Executive Director

On June 29, 1987 the Azusa Redevelopment Agency Board of
Directors approved an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Casden
Development Company and Halferty Development Company for the
redevelopment of the "CBD -1" site.
The Exclusive Agreements provide conceptual approval only and do
not commit the Agency to the commercial and residential project.
The two developers have 90 days to negotiate a development
agreement with the Agency to redevelop the site. If
negotiations are successful, the development agreement will be
considered by the Agency and City Council during October or
November.
Please feel free to contact the Redevelopment Agency staff if you
have any questions. As negotiations progress, the Agency will
try and keep you updated as to their status.

Dear Mr. Ruelas:
City of Azusa
on February 6, 1989 the Azusa Redevelopment Agency approved a
development agreement with DeRosa Properties for the 3.5± acre
site at the northwest corner of Azusa Avenue and Foothill
Boulevard (see map). The proposed project contemplates
approximately 53,000 square feet of commercial space.
Before the project proceeds, however, a number of tasks must be
accomplished. For instance, the Agency must conduct soils tests
to determine that the site will accommodate the proposed
development and that no soil contamination exists. The Agency
will need your cooperation to ensure a quick decision on the
project.

present offer letters. Tony will represent his family
in the negotiations of all three properties, -
August 15, 1989 Meeting with Mr, Ruelaa, Discussed all three offer
letters. Tony thought his properties were worth more
than the Agency offer.
August 16, 1989 Called Tony Ruelaa. He felt that the offer* were very
low and that he waa going to have an appraisal done on
the three properties.
September 12, 1989 I called Tony and discueaod acquisition,
September 21, 1989 Called Tony, he has been advised to sell the singlo
family residences for $125,000 and the Conn property
for $175,000,
September 25, 1989 Tony has listedall three properties with C-21 Real

October 18, 1969 Bob Carroll met with Tony R. and his wife. Their
biggest complaint was that they Could not find any
replacement property paying them their existing rent
for $63 00.00, I personally feel they would settle for
around I told them City was buying an
existing old S R for $112,000 that had 30500 more
square feet than theirs. I explained that current
zoning would require a buyer of their SFR to demolish
them and that is why appraiser has given commercial
land value as his highest and beat use. Their reply
was that amortitation method to City's current zoning
was unfair and it was their understanding this is being
contested by some of the citizens.
