add building layer/existing structures

[12/28/2020 8:12:41 PM] Dave Wolstenholme: would it be difficult to add building layer/existing structures?
[12/28/2020 8:13:14 PM] Dave Wolstenholme: that would be helpful. In the case of 332 seymour river blvd..it would show the 2.5 but one could see a smal house/structure

Building footprints are available at http://www.geoweb.dnv.org/data/

[12/30/2020 2:04:40 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: I have a different idea. Not sure if it’s possible or simply weird
[12/30/2020 2:05:16 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: so.... if you look at 332 328 seymour river blvd
[12/30/2020 2:05:48 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: im not sure if it’s possible but can we determine current site coverage as a calculation?
[12/30/2020 2:06:03 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: lets say each lot is 6000 sf
[12/30/2020 2:06:35 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: what is the current footprint of the building outline on the site as a percentage of the land?
[12/30/2020 2:06:52 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: in this case I’m assuming the building has about 600 sf floorplate
[12/30/2020 2:07:12 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: therefore 10% site cover
[12/30/2020 2:07:43 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: so.... that’s a useful data point for identifying opportunity
[12/30/2020 2:08:17 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: if the land cost is high and site cover is only 10%... then it is not being utilized efficiently
[12/30/2020 2:08:44 AM] Dave Wolstenholme: its a signal of possible development opportunity

this is lower on priority list as we may get similar information from bc assessment data (value of land versus value of improvements)
