(a) When the city council considers it necessary for a public purpose, the city may condemn public or private personal property, located inside or outside the city, for any purpose authorized by state law or the city charter.
(b) The procedures used to condemn personal property will be the same as those provided by state law for the condemnation of real property at the time condemnation proceedings are initiated for the personal property.
(c) The measure of damages for the condemnation of personal property is the local market value of the property at the time of the special commissioners’ hearing, and, when less than the entire property is condemned, any damage to the remaining property. The remainder damage will be measured by the loss, if any, in the market value of the remaining property that is proximately caused by the condemnation, considering the extent of the injury and benefit to the remaining property. The injury or benefit considered must be peculiar to the property owner and must relate to the property owner’s ownership, use, or enjoyment of the property, but may not include any injury or benefit that the property owner experiences in common with the general community.
