the existing improvement. In regard to a vacant site or a site
considered as though vacant, the land not needed to accommodate the
site's primary highest and best use. Such land may be separated from
the larger site and have its own highest and best use, or it may allow
for future expansion of the existing or anticipated improvement.
Utilities

database purposes, Narrative1 automatically combines the individual
utility entries in a single field. The formula can be over-written with a
different or more succinct summary description.
Click the "Show Database Column" to show the site information that will be saved when the subject property is saved as a database record (optional). This can ignored if the subject is not being saved as a database record.
Note: The subject can be saved as a Sale, Listing, Contract or Appraisal Record.
Because there are potentially several parcels (up to 10) associated with the subject, Narrative1 gives the analyst a choice of how to organize the data as a single database record via the Method selection, if there are multiple parcels.
Note: If there is only one parcel, Narrative1 will automatically use the information from Parcel 1.
There are three methods available for organizing the data:
- Sum. This method totals all numeric values for Parcels 1-x)
- Parcel 1. This method utilizes the value for Parcel 1.
- Concatenate. This method builds a text string comprised of the value entered for each parcel, separated by brackets and a number. For example "[1] The current use is as an office building. [2] The current use is as a retail building"
