Step 5: Input Existing Land Use Information
This part of the Model asks for information about the site as it is today. Information for
each existing land use should be entered. No information should be entered for any
land use that does not currently exist on the site. All entries on this page should be
numeric; zeroes should remain in unused categories. The summation of all Total
(Gross) Acres associated with existing land uses on this page should equal that
specified in “Number of acres (gross acreage)” on the “General Information”
page of the website. You will see an error message if the existing land use categories
do not sum to the same amount.
The records of the County Assessor, Auditor or PVA will designate a land use type, land
value and improvements value to most parcels under his/her jurisdiction. For an
existing mixed use site, your land use assignments should be made on the basis of the
current official classification of the property. For more guidance on allocating land use
assignments from these sources to the Model’s land use categories, refer to Appendix B
of this report. In addition, definitions for each land use category can be found by clicking
on the land use category name to access a hyperlink. If more than one parcel is
involved in the development site, then data from each parcel should be gathered and
entered, including the appropriate land use category designations for each separate
parcel. If value or improvements data are not available, estimates are appropriate.
