What limits this score
Two or more zoning districts cross this lot
The city's zoning layer puts 2 districts across this parcel. Every dimensional standard on this report — height, setbacks, coverage, lot minimum — applies to a PART of the lot, not to all of it, and which part governs a given building is a question for the planning counter. Nothing here is capped for it; the numbers are simply not lot-wide. (Municipal GIS (zoning polygons intersected with the parcel ring))

Questions about this score
What is the Buildability Score™ for 2101 S LAMAR BLVD, AUSTIN, TX, 78704?
2101 S LAMAR BLVD, AUSTIN, TX, 78704 carries a Buildability Score of 83 out of 100 (grade A-). The score is composed from 5 weighted factors — each cited to its federal or jurisdictional source and re-runnable live on this page.
What does a grade A- mean?
Grade A- reads as a scored buildability read across zoning, flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and utility factors. The grade is derived from the numeric score (83/100) on the published Buildability™ scale.
Which factor most affects 2101 S LAMAR BLVD, AUSTIN, TX, 78704?
The weakest factor at this address is soil — scored 62 out of 100, which reads as limited (every factor is scored so that higher means fewer constraints). That's the factor most likely to constrain what a design can carry, and the one to inspect first before committing capital.
What's this parcel's strongest attribute?
Lot shape scores 95 out of 100 — regular lot, and the highest of the 7 factors read for this address. Higher scores mean fewer constraints, not more.
Where does the data come from?
Every factor cites the federal or jurisdictional dataset it came from — FEMA (flood), USGS (seismic), USFS (wildfire), EPA (radon), USDA/NRCS (soil), and the local jurisdiction's own zoning record where available. Sources are queried live and re-run on refresh; the score cannot outrun its data.
Does the Buildability Score account for local zoning in Austin, TX?
When Austin, TX's zoning record is on our roster, the score reads the jurisdiction's own dimensional standards for the district this parcel sits in. When it isn't, the zoning factor drops out rather than being estimated — which is why parcels in un-rostered jurisdictions still return a score, just one that doesn't count zoning.
Is this an official determination?
No. The Buildability Score™ is a preliminary due-diligence read, not an entitlement or permit approval. Governing bodies retain sole authority over binding land-use decisions. The score's role is to make the diligence conversation faster and better-grounded, not to replace it.
