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’s 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’s 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. |
Poor location, hard-to-develop or reuse site, zoning or environmental barriers, little market demand. |

| Community Impact | Broad community support and strong public-serving impact with strong partner interest. |
Strong alignment with community needs but fewer potential partners. |
Some community benefits but also tradeoffs and moderate partner interest. |
Mixed community value, limited public benefit and partner interest. |
Significant community opposition or displacement concerns. Minimal or no 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. |
Financially difficult or uncertain and strains District resources or forfeits benefit of asset appreciation. |
Large ongoing costs with little revenue potential and high implementation risk. |
A site may receive a low score for adaptive reuse A site may receive a low score for ground lease or |
| 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 |
Cómo funciona la calificación de propiedades
El proceso de calificación usa la información recopilada durante el paso 1 del proceso para propiedades excedentes, la fase de recopilación de datos.
La recopilación de datos incluye información obtenida a través de análisis de mercado, estudios de derechos, participación pública y de socios comunitarios, evaluaciones de la condición de las instalaciones y el mantenimiento, y evaluaciones históricas. En este gráfico, estas fuentes de datos se muestran con el uso de diferentes colores.
El mercado y la logística del sitio
Usa información de análisis de mercado, estudios de derechos, evaluaciones de la condición de las instalaciones y evaluaciones financieras para entender:
- la ubicación y accesibilidad del lugar
- el tamaño y la configuración de la parcela
- la flexibilidad de la zonificación
- la demanda del mercado
- las consideraciones legales, ambientales o históricas
El impacto en la comunidad
Fundamentado principalmente en la participación pública y de socios comunitarios para entender:
- la dependencia que tiene la comunidad del sitio
- el impacto futuro en las áreas históricamente desatendidas
- posibles resultados, atractivos o comodidades que generen ingresos y sirvan a la comunidad
El impacto y los riesgos financieros
Usa la información de todas las áreas de recopilación de datos para evaluar:
- los costos anuales de operación
- 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 información de todas las áreas de recopilación 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 podría volver a adquirir o adaptar el sitio en el futuro
Cómo se utilizan los puntajes
Cada uso potencial (readaptación, arrendamiento o venta) se califica sobre 100 puntos. Un puntaje más alto significa que la opción se alinea bien con las prioridades del distrito y tiene menos riesgos o compromisos. Un puntaje más bajo indica un alineamiento más débil o costos y riesgos más altos.
El personal usará estos puntajes al evaluar las circunstancias financieras del distrito (paso 3) y hacerle una recomendación a la mesa directiva (paso 4).
