During site plan review for a 120-unit apartment complex on 15 acres, which item would you exclude from consideration?

Site plan review focuses on how the proposed development fits on the site and complies with regulatory standards, not on financial terms. It scrutinizes physical and regulatory aspects such as stormwater drainage to manage runoff, zoning to ensure the project meets allowable density and land-use rules, and location in terms of access, circulation, and impact on surrounding property. Rent to be charged is a financial/lease issue decided by market conditions, developers, and tenants, and it does not affect the site’s design, compliance with codes, or the planning review process. Therefore, rent to be charged would be excluded from consideration during site plan review.
