Types of Development
- Greenfield development refers to building on previously undeveloped land, often in rural or suburban areas. This “blank slate” approach allows for new residential communities, commercial centers, or industrial parks to be created from scratch. Unlike brownfield developments, greenfield projects don’t involve demolishing or remediating existing structures or dealing with potential contamination.
- Brownfield development buildings developed on sites previously used for industrial or commercial purposes.
- Multi-lot development refers to subdividing a large parcel of land into multiple smaller lots, often for residential purposes like building houses or townhomes. This NH involves creating new property lines, ensuring access to streets or alleys, and complying with local regulations.
- Infill lots are vacant or underutilized parcels of land within already developed areas, often urban, that are developed with new construction or redevelopment. This type of development “fills in” gaps between existing structures and can revitalize neighborhoods. Infill is a sustainable practice that helps communities manage growth, utilize existing infrastructure, and conserve land.
- Prairie Building involves installing foundations, basements, stubbing in service lines such as water, sanitary sewer and electrical lines. The completed modular units would be placed on the foundations/basements. All this work would be complete before the storm sewers, water, sanitary sewer, electric and streets (infrastructure) are complete. Once the infrastructure is complete the service lines to each home would be connected to the infrastructure lines. Then the driveway and sidewalks would be completed, final grading of yards and seeding or sod would be installed.
- A vacant property is a real estate asset, such as a house, apartment, or commercial building, that is currently unoccupied and devoid of tenants or residents. This means the property is not being actively used for living or business purposes.
-
- The difference between vacant and unoccupied properties boils down to whether the building has been outfitted with everything necessary for someone to move in and use it. If it has possessions but no people, then it’s unoccupied.If it has nothing, people or possessions, then it’s vacant.
- Vacant Property Registry : To establish a Vacant Property Registry in a Nebraska municipality, the city needs to adopt a vacant property registration ordinance under the Vacant Property Registration Act. This ordinance should define what constitutes a vacant property, require owners to register vacant properties, and designate a program administrator. The registry will help identify, track, and manage vacant properties, allowing the city to address potential issues and ensure public safety.
