How Property Scoring Works
The scoring process uses information gathered during Step 1 of the Surplus Property Process, the data collection phase.
Data collection includes information through market analysis, entitlement studies, public and community partner engagement, facility condition and maintenance assessments, and historical evaluations. In this graphic, these data sources are shown using different colors.
Market & Site Logistics
Uses information from market analysis, entitlement studies, facility condition assessments, and historical evaluations to understand:
- Site location and accessibility
- Parcel size and configuration
- Zoning flexibility
- Market demand
- Legal, environmental, or historic considerations
Community Impact
Informed primarily by public and community partner engagement to understand:
- Community reliance on the site
- Future impacts to historically underserved areas
- Potential for revenue-generating community-serving outcomes, features or amenities
Financial Impact & Risks
Draws on information from all data collection areas to evaluate:
- Annual operating costs
- Deferred maintenance and capital improvement needs
- Potential revenue
- Time and complexity required to implement a potential use
Flexibility and Optionality
Draws on information from all data collection areas to evaluate:
- Ability to adjust or reverse a strategy if needed
- Ease of repurposing the property for future uses
- Whether the district could reacquire or adapt the site in the future
How the Scores Are Used
Each potential use (repurposing, lease, or sale) is scored out of 100 points. A higher score means the option aligns well with the district鈥檚 priorities and has fewer risks or trade-offs. A lower score indicates weaker alignment or higher costs and risks.
Staff will use these scores when evaluating the district鈥檚 financial circumstances (Step 3) and making a recommendation to the board (Step 4).

Score Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market & Site Logistics | Highly desirable property with excellent development or reuse potential with no significant constraints. |
Attractive site with solid demand and few barriers. |
Average marketability and usable site conditions. |
Some potential but major constraints. |

Strong alignment with community needs but fewer potential partners. |
Some community benefits but also tradeoffs and moderate partner interest. |

A site may receive a low score for adaptive reuse if such A site may receive a low score for ground lease or sale if |
| Financial Impact & Risk | Major long-term financial benefit and low implementation risk. |
Good revenue potential with manageable implementation risk. |
Financially neutral or manageable. Does not generate meaningful revenue but does not strain resources. |

| Flexibility & Optionality | Maximum future flexibility and reversibility. Few or low challenges to execute. |
Preserves future options for the District with some time restrictions. Manageable challenges to execute proposal. |
Some ability to adapt later with moderate time restrictions. Moderate challenges to execute proposal. |
Limited future adaptability or many challenges to execute proposal. |
Locks the District into a hard-to-reverse or difficult to execute proposal. |
A site may receive a low score for adaptive reuse A site may receive a low score for ground lease or |
C贸mo funciona la calificaci贸n de propiedades
El proceso de calificaci贸n usa la informaci贸n recopilada durante el paso 1 del proceso para propiedades excedentes, la fase de recopilaci贸n de datos.
La recopilaci贸n de datos incluye informaci贸n obtenida a trav茅s de an谩lisis de mercado, estudios de derechos, participaci贸n p煤blica y de socios comunitarios, evaluaciones de la condici贸n de las instalaciones y el mantenimiento, y evaluaciones hist贸ricas. En este gr谩fico, estas fuentes de datos se muestran con el uso de diferentes colores.
El mercado y la log铆stica del sitio
Usa informaci贸n de an谩lisis de mercado, estudios de derechos, evaluaciones de la condici贸n de las instalaciones y evaluaciones financieras para entender:
- la ubicaci贸n y accesibilidad del lugar
- el tama帽o y la configuraci贸n de la parcela
- la flexibilidad de la zonificaci贸n
- la demanda del mercado
- las consideraciones legales, ambientales o hist贸ricas
El impacto en la comunidad
Fundamentado principalmente en la participaci贸n p煤blica y de socios comunitarios para entender:
- la dependencia que tiene la comunidad del sitio
- el impacto futuro en las 谩reas hist贸ricamente desatendidas
- posibles resultados, atractivos o comodidades que generen ingresos y sirvan a la comunidad
El impacto y los riesgos financieros
Usa la informaci贸n de todas las 谩reas de recopilaci贸n de datos para evaluar:
- los costos anuales de operaci贸n
- las necesidades de mantenimiento diferido y mejoras de capital
- los posibles ingresos
- el tiempo y la complejidad requeridos para implementar un posible uso
La flexibilidad y disponibilidad de opciones
Usa la informaci贸n de todas las 谩reas de recopilaci贸n de datos para evaluar:
- la capacidad de ajustar o revertir una estrategia si es necesario
- la facilidad de readaptar la propiedad para usos futuros
- si el distrito podr铆a volver a adquirir o adaptar el sitio en el futuro
C贸mo se utilizan los puntajes
Cada uso potencial (readaptaci贸n, arrendamiento o venta) se califica sobre 100 puntos. Un puntaje m谩s alto significa que la opci贸n se alinea bien con las prioridades del distrito y tiene menos riesgos o compromisos. Un puntaje m谩s bajo indica un alineamiento m谩s d茅bil o costos y riesgos m谩s altos.
El personal usar谩 estos puntajes al evaluar las circunstancias financieras del distrito (paso 3) y hacerle una recomendaci贸n a la mesa directiva (paso 4).
