Option 6. Surrounding Development and Resources (1–2 points)
PATH 1. DEVELOPMENT AND ADJACENCY (1–2 POINTS)
Locate the project on a site that meets one of the site conditions listed in Table 7.
-
To qualify as an adjacent site, at least a contiguous 25% of the project boundary must border parcels that are previously developed sites.
-
Bordering rights-of-way do not constitute previously developed land; it is the status of the property on the other side of the right-of-way that contributes to the calculation. Any part of the boundary that borders a water body is excluded from the calculation.
Table 7. Points for development and adjacency
| Type of site | Points |
|---|---|
| Previously developed site that was used for industrial or commercial purposes. | 1 |
