District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. 6.4 SCORING MATRIX AND CLASSIFICATION OF “PDR FITNESS” After being surveyed, each sub-area was scored to determine its overall fitness as an industrial area. Eleven scoring criteria were developed collaboratively by the Office of Planning and PPSA. A total of 55 points were possible (five points per criteria multiplied by 11 criteria). The criteria were: A. Predominant Adjacent Land Uses B. Interior Access/Circulation C. Existing Road Conditions D. Proximity to Highway E. Rail Freight Access F. Average Parcel Size G. Brownfield/Contamination H. Metro/Transit I. Existing Industrial User Concentration J. General Area Condition K. Building Stock Working from the perspective of a PDR business, a score of five is highest and one is lowest. For example: For Criteria A, since residential and industrial land uses are generally incompatible, if residential areas are the prevailing adjacent land use, the resulting score is one because it would be difficult to locate or expand a PDR business in this area. Descriptions of scoring criteria and a matrix detailing the scores for each sub-area can be found in the Appendix. Taken together, the existing conditions discussion and total sub-area score inform our statements of key findings that appear at the end of each sub-area analysis (section 6.2, above). For example, is the area a high-performing industrial zone or is it an island in the middle of residential areas? Is it a strategically important municipal services area with good highway and rail access? Is it a struggling area with many vacancies or is it thriving? The scoring criteria and scores by sub area are listed below. - 161 -
