146 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Appendix FACTOR WEIGHTING Individual suitability factors were weighted to calculate the overall suitability scores. Physical development constraints (i.e. flood prone lands, hillsides and hillcrests, and riparian buffers) were weighted more heavily than the majority of the proximity measures (i.e. proximity to employment centers, primary thoroughfares, and fire stations for example). Proximity to sewer service was also weighted heavily as lack of sewer service significantly impacts the intensity of development that the land can support.
