Revitalization-Ready Guide - Chapter 4: Reuse Plan

Reuse planning is a process that utilizes the information generated during the reuse assessment to build a realistic plan for the potential reuse options for the property. The process typically looks at a range of desired reuse scenarios. A public planning process that provides for meaningful community engagement will help identify potential community needs and concerns, and build public support for the proposed project. The reuse planning process involves:

• Mapping and visualization of the property/parcel boundaries and property features and encumbrances.
• Determining developable area of the property.
• Developing a reuse vision.
• Identifying project liabilities and risks.
• Evaluating market viability.
• Developing a financial analysis and evaluating project economics.
• Evaluating project feasibility.
• Identifying property disposition strategies.
