INDUSTRIAL LOT COUNT CITY OF EDMONTON OCTOBER 31, 1971
Introduction At the request of the Industrial Development Department, an industrial lot count was established in January, 1969. This count has been carried out annually to determine the amount of vacant serviced industrial land in industrial zones of the city. The report is done to evaluate the yearly additional land requirements needed for industrial expansion. The present lot count has been tabulated as of October 31, 1971, to confoLut with the data cut-off date in the P.L.U.S. program. Due to this change in cut-off date, the evaluation only covers a ten month period (January 1, 1971 to October 31, 1971). The statistics shown in this, the fourth count, also take into consideration additional servicing such as pavement, curbs and major power facilities. The parcels now referred to as "serviced" include water, sewer, power, pavement and curbs. The zoning categories remain the same (41, M2, M3, AGMR1) and the areas covered by the count also remain within the same boundaries - northwest, northeast and southeast. This count also attempts to show city owned vacant land, but it must be noted that not all of the city owned land shown vacant is available for development. Some of this land is being held for city needs such as road expansion and future utility locations. Methodology Initial data were collected from the combined sources of aerial photography, building permit application, architects and assessor's files
