SCVACFC Site Selection Task Force August 18, 2006 Page 16 Weaknesses Moderately high cost of Site ($4.50 per square foot) May also be additional assessments for utilities and infrastructure; Future planned interchange at Manning Avenue and TH 36 may create future access difficulties and may significantly reduce convenient access to the Site. Portions of the sites may have some environmental issues because storage and dumping has occurred in the past; no EAW or EIS has been completed to date. Topography is generally flat with some tree cover. Rezoning would be required and according to City, would be rezoned for residential use. Other Sites Other sites in the area were explored, but are: 1) too small in size; 2) current zoning requirements severely constrain the ability to consider the proposed use 3) the site is too distant from the current and projected population centers The following section presents a weighting of criteria in order of importance and applies a rating scale to each criteria for each site. The analysis provides a quantitative assessment for each site. Additional qualitative criteria such as political climate is considered, but is not factored into the quantitative assessment. Maxfield Research Inc. also requested information regarding any potential environmental concerns that may be associated with each of the sites. This information is briefly summarized on the tables and in the strengths/weaknesses segment of the analysis. Weighting Criteria Table 3 shows a weighting assessment for each of the proposed sites. The weighting assessment assigns a weight value to each of several criteria. These criteria may be weighted differently based on the discussions of the site selection task force or additional criteria may be added to this analysis. Each of the site criteria is assigned a value rating from 1 through 5 with 1 being nooT and 5 beine excellent. These value ratings are shown on the table along with a total that is derived from the value rating alone. These value ratings are multiplied by the weighting factor to arrive at a weighted total for the criteria which is shown in the highlighted section immediately below the rating for the criteria.
