What does a commercial acre refer to?

  1. The area used exclusively for commercial buildings

  2. The total area of a property including streets and sidewalks

  3. The area remaining for development after accounting for public spaces

  4. An acre of land zoned for commercial use only

The correct answer is: The area remaining for development after accounting for public spaces

A This option may seem correct based on the use of the word "commercial," but it is too specific. A commercial acre does not refer to just the area used for buildings, but also includes surrounding spaces. B: This option is incorrect because it includes streets and sidewalks, which are not part of a commercial acre. A commercial acre only refers to the actual usable land. D: This option is also too specific. While it mentions commercial use, it does not account for potential future development plans for the acre. A commercial acre includes the current and potential development potential of the land.
