(2) A single parcel comprising 10% or more of the acreage within the survey area may not be counted as satisfying the requirement described in Subsection (1)(a)(iii) or (iv) unless at least 50% of the area of the parcel is occupied by buildings or improvements.     (3)   (a) Except as provided in Subsection (3)(b), for purposes of Subsection (1), if a participant or proposed participant involved in the project area development has caused a condition listed in Subsection (1)(a)(iv) within the survey area, that condition may not be used in the determination of a development impediment.     (b) Subsection (3)(a) does not apply to a condition that was caused by an owner or tenant who later becomes a participant.      Amended by Chapter 376, 2019 General Session
