Table 3-4 <br />shows that about 3,300 acres of the 11,866 acres in the database have some type <br />of development constraint. <br /> <br />We note here that development constraints do not necessarily preclude <br />development. In fact some of the 3,300 acres of constrained land could be <br />considered "developed" and some of the vacant constrained land could be <br />developable. <br /> <br />4 The database did not exclude tax lots with split plan designations. Thus some portions of tax lots included in the land base are not <br />designated for employment. The database has data on the area of tax lots in employment designations. The database uses this methodology <br />to protect the integrity of tax lots and to account for which tax lots have non-employment plan designations. <br /> <br />DRAFT: Commercial and Industrial Lands Database <br /> <br />ECONorthwest <br /> <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />July 2006 <br />
