Which factor is included in a site analysis?

• A. Physical
• B. Tax ledgers
• C. Market rents
• D. Interest rates

Answer: (A)

Site analysis concentrates on the physical characteristics and constraints of the property and how they affect development potential. This includes things like topography, drainage, soil conditions, access and road frontage, lot size, utilities, setbacks, and zoning compatibility. These elements determine whether a site can accommodate a proposed project.

Tax ledgers, market rents, and interest rates are financial or economic factors. Tax ledgers deal with tax history, market rents relate to potential income, and interest rates affect financing costs. They’re evaluated in financial feasibility or market analysis, not in assessing the site itself.

So the factor included in a site analysis is the physical characteristics of the land.
