Development Factors Map
|
The City of Spokane invites the public to test its beta Development Factors map application.
To respond to constant change, community policies define how and where different types of building activity may occur.
This map tool helps citizens understand where new development could occur throughout the city based on existing information.
The map shows when a property is likely vacant, within economic incentive areas, or near amenities like existing streets, water mains, parks, grocery stores, and frequent transit routes.
By aggregating all of this information in one location, the mapping application helps people identify parcels with development potential.
