Combining lots to meet zoning requirement

[Tiffany Gibbons]

Stop being so snarky. Other people debated about excess and surplus too. And it’s none of your damn business what I did with my report. Does it make you feel smart and powerful to put other people down. F off

The OP has my vote for the most ungrateful, Karen post of the year thus far....

I agree with this with one exception - unless they've run into repeated examples of something, planning staff will rarely commit to a position on something like this outside of the specifics in the zoning code and other published development criteria. By far, the most common response will be "submit a proposal and we'll consider it".

In my experience, anyway. All RE is local so the OP's situation will probably be specific to that jurisdiction.

Yes, planners (aka Community Development around here) are generally noncommittal. For complex zoning issues it best to ask for the chief officer and be prepared to wait. For what appear to be simple requests, the counter planner is usually sufficient.

Reporting the facts about combining the lots or development of the vacant sites based on your discussion with planning puts you in a strong position in defending you ultimate decision on how to treat both the improved and the unimproved sites. USPAP doesn’t require a perfect solution, only a credible one equal to what your peers would have done. ( Peers does not mean your competitors but rather other appraisers who could perform the assignment and achieve credible results.)
