Objective

Our audit found that the DOA accomplished its goal of reducing the number of acres within the CMA area that is available for residential development and acquired acres that enhanced the County’s existing holdings through assemblage of parcels.

Overall Land UseObectives

The chart below shows that 56% of the acres traded to the DOA were within the identified lease areas. The chart further illustrates the proportion of leased area to total acres traded in within the CMA area by priority type.

Trade Comments

The time between the appraisal date and the ROA date was more than six months for 15% of the incoming land and 43% of the outgoing land.

We found that the timing of the appraisals potentially gave the private party the favorable position in escalating market conditions for a majority of the trades.

Trade Comments

We obtained assessed valuations for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003 on twelve parcels within the CMA area that were not owned by the County but were within areas where the County had exchanged parcels out. The assessed valuations on these parcels between July 1, 2001, and July 1, 2002, increased within a range of 10 percent to 150 percent. Assessed valuations on these same parcels increased within a range of 0 percent to 65 percent between July 1, 2002, and July 1, 2003.

Trade Comments

Of the airport parcels subsequently traded and then sold by the developer, the applicant made estimated net gains of $101.3 million, including losses of $4.3 million representing a total resale of 586 acres. This was an average gain of $173,000 per acre. The average holding period was 782 days or 2.14 years from the effective date of the appraisal. The gain on these parcels was 46% over the appraised value, within the expected ranges.

Trade Comments

A large number of parcels were acquired and held for speculation as demonstrated by the number of parcels that were subsequently resold by the participants

The cost of retradeswas reflected in realized losses of$3.8 millionand potentially unrealized losses that would have decreased the realized gains of$5.3 million. The gains that occurred were due primarily to the DOA holding the parcels for more than two years, with an average holding period for those parcels with gains of2.97 ears. On realized gains, this was an average gain of $105,000 per acre. All losses were incurred when the DOAretraded within less than 2 years (average years held of 1.66).

Trade Comments

During the period 1999 through the end of 2004, according to records received from Current Planning, 14 non-conforming zone changes, resulting in higher density zoning, occurred in the CMA area.

The acreage associated with these changes represented 8 percent of all land traded to the County.
