Developer Math, a Creative Science
6 Site Planning Truisms
1. The Multiplier Effect
Value Multiplier:Land = XApproved Land = 2X
Cost Multiplier:1-year approval cycle = Y2-year approval cycle = 5Y
1. Density: Addition by Subtraction
Example:8 Units/Acre:
7 Units/Acre:
6 Units/Acre:
Not approvable ever
4-year approval cycle
1-year approval cycle
3. Design: Subtraction by Addition
Appropriate investment in design =1-year approval cycle
Minimal investment in design =2-year approval cycle
Zero investment in design =4-year approval cycle
4. The Municipality Equation
Step 1: Understand the municipality’s requirements: UseDensityMaster planVariancesFiscal impactsTrafficEtc…
Step 2: Reward the municipality, reduce approval time
Step 3: Reward yourself
5. Land Use and the Go/No Go Corollary
Inherently Approvable Land Use = baseline revenue potential, minimum approval Time, minimum risk
Reasonably Approvable Land Use = profitable revenue potential, reasonable approval time, tolerable risk
Maximum Land Use = Maximum revenue potential, maximum approval time, maximum risk
6. Research and Development
The single most important part of the development process:
DUE DILLIGENCE
