Coarse screening only. Grid distance is a spatial proxy, protected-area overlap is a planning drag proxy, and usable area is not parcel control or engineering design.

Confirm the candidate survives county-level and parcel-level exclusions once the coarse pass is narrowed.

Validate grid connection options
