Does privately held vacant land need to be factored in to the density calculations? In the area there is a 18000 square foot of land with no building on it, should we include this?

Yes, Otherwise you could be the first to develop a project in the middle of an undeveloped track and still potentially get the credit.
If there are development plans on file with the city, or if a developer in currently working on developing the site you might be able to include the anticipated density and opening date in your documentation, but I would expect it to raise a question or two during the audit.
