Are highway medians or parking lots considered "buildable land?"

Hi Adam, The guide defines "buildable land" as being "the portion of the site where construction can occur, including land voluntarily set aside and not constructed on. When used in density calculations, buildable land excludes public rights-of-way and land excluded from development by codified law." Given that definition, it sounds like the area you're explaining  as the roadway medians is part of the public right-of-way. A project would not be able to build on that land. The parking lots, however, I would probably consider to be buildable, as a project could exist in those areas. The only exceptions would be as noted in the definition above, if the areas are excluded by code. Are the travelways named like a street is named? That may be justification for it being a right-of-way. If not, and they're just circulation within a larger lot, then they're likely buildable.
