Strategy II
For Campus Setting: Find The Density Radius= 3 times SQRT(project Site in sqft). 1 acre= 43560 sqft. Identifu all buildings and parcel within Density radius.
Example: 2 acres = 87,120 s.f. and it’s square root is 295 x 3 = 885
This is the radius that you will use to determine the TOTAL building square footage within the circle with the 885 foot radius. Total these and then divide by the total acres within the circle to get the average density. Example: Buildings within 885 ft. radius Parcels within 885 ft. radius
Parcels and Building sizing within the Density Radius area
Building Sqft Project and Adjacent
100,000 (project building) 87,120 (project site)
10,000 s.f. 30,000
15,000 s.f. 45,000
20,000 s.f. 60,000
12,000 s.f. 36,000
4,000 s.f. 4,000
159,000 s.f. 262,120 s.f.
To get the 885’ radius circle area in acres, divide 262,120s.f./43,560=6.0 acres
159,000s.f/6.0=26,500 which is <60,000 so does not meet the credit requirements.
