Residential Subdivision Layout
Residential Subdivision Layout
(OP)
I have red last year a paper from Univ. of Fl where there was an algorithm to obtain the maximum number of lot from a residential parcel. I have been looking for that algorithm but can’t find it. Any of you use a particular method to optimize the layout of parcels? I will appreciate a great deal if you could help.
Thanks.
Thanks.

In Subdivision Regulations dictate that in a certain type/class of Subdivision its requires a number or percentage of lots, roads and open areas. from there you can configure your blocks/lots number.

Take the raw acreage and subtract anything that can't be built upon, wetlands, buffers, etc.
Take you zoning regs and figure out how many lots can be yielded per acre figuring in R/W for the road.
Then divide the net acreage by the yield time 80% (since no piece of land is perfectly square).
This has always gotten me with 5% of the lot count.
