If the edge of my 1/4 mile radius cuts halfway through a building, should I only be counting half the area of the building in my calculations or can I include the whole building? Or should I be excluding the building entirely?

Reviewer comment: "Note that where buildings intersect the 1/4-mile offset, if the intersected property is included within the projects density calculations, the entire building area and the entire associated property area must be included. Use a similar approach when excluding intersected properties. It is recommended that a narrative be provided explaining any inclusions or exclusions."

Hi Alara. I'm not sure if you have a question, but your latest post is correct. If the offset intersects any properties or buildings, the entire area should be included in the calculations. Unless you're working on a school project, where you can exclude playing fields and associated buildings from the calculations.
