ATTACHMENT A <br />The next step in the analysis was to identify developed tax lots, which is land that is not protected and <br />either has a vacant lands use or improvements with an assessed value of more than $1,000 or has a <br />developed land use. These were identified, leaving land that is considered vacant and developable. A <br />map of developable lands is provided in Figure 3 and a summary map showing all four land categories is <br />provided in Figure 4. Figure 5 summarizes the land classification process and the resulting acreages in <br />each of the four categories. Figure 6 shows how each of these categories is distributed across plan <br />designations. <br /> <br />Figure 7 shows developable land by plan designation and parcel size. Parcel size is an important <br />consideration for future development because some types of development can locate on small parcels <br />(e.g., a convenience store may require a quarter acre of land) and some types of development need <br />larger parcels (e.g., a hotel may need a site between 2 and 5 acres in size). The availability of <br />employment land by site size and other characteristics (e.g., location or access to major streets) will be <br />considered in the analysis of employment land need. For example, there are 939 acres of buildable <br />industrial land within the study area. It will be important to know, for example, if most of this acreage is <br />located in small tax lots or that there are few developable tax lots in commercial and industrial plan <br />designations that are larger than 25 acres. Figure 7 shows the distribution of developable tax lots by size <br />class. Of note are the shaded numbers, which show that Eugene has 10 tax lots in industrial plan <br />designations that are larger than 10 acres. <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
