Abstract

Disclosed is a system method for aligning a plurality of electronic map data, which includes the steps of obtaining an electronic map file, defining an area of interest on the electronic map file, selecting a predetermined datum and providing the electronic map file in the predetermined datum. Also disclosed is a land yield method including the steps of obtaining an electronic map, storing the electronic map in a computer readable medium, defining an area of interest on the electronic map, referring to a database to determine whether the database contains at least one restriction value, referring to a remote database to determine whether the remote database contains an additional restriction value, the additional restriction value being distinct from the at least one restriction value, combining restriction values, and determining a total value of the parcel of land based on the combined restriction values.

Claims (24)

1. A method of determining a density value of a parcel of land, the method comprising:

obtaining an electronic map file;

storing said electronic map file in a computer readable medium;

defining an area of interest on said electronic map file;

referring to a database to determine whether said database contains at least one restriction value for the parcel of land;

referring to a remote database to determine whether said remote database contains an additional restriction value for the parcel of land, said additional restriction value being distinct from said at least one restriction value;

combining said at least one restriction value with said additional restriction value to form a plurality of restriction values; and

determining a total value of said parcel of land based on said plurality of restriction values;

wherein said plurality of restriction valves represents an undevelopable amount of square footage of land;

wherein said plurality of restriction values associated with the parcel of land includes an impervious surface ratio.

2. The method of determining a density value of a parcel of land as recited in claim 1 wherein said plurality of restriction values represents a developable amount of square footage of land.

3. The method of determining a density value of a parcel of land as recited in claim 1 wherein said total value of said parcel of land includes a floor area ratio.

4. A method of determining a density value of a parcel of land, the method comprising:

obtaining an electronic map file;

storing said electronic map file in a computer readable medium;

defining an area of interest on said electronic map file;

referring to a database to determine whether said database contains at least one restriction value for the parcel of land;

referring to a remote database to determine whether said remote database contains an additional restriction value for the parcel of land, said additional restriction value being distinct from said at least one restriction value;

combining said at least one restriction value with said additional restriction value to form a plurality of restriction values; and

determining a total value of said parcel of land based on said plurality of restriction values;

wherein said plurality of restriction valves represents an undevelopable amount of square footage of land;

wherein said total value of said parcel of land includes a floor area ratio.

5. The method of determining a density value of a parcel of land as recited in claim 4 wherein said plurality of restriction values represents a developable amount of square footage of land.

6. The method of determining a density value of a parcel of land as recited in claim 5 wherein said plurality of restriction values associated with the parcel of land includes an impervious surface ratio.
