Appraisals of unimproved land shall be considered non-residential if the portion of the property acquired contains more than 5 acres. If the portion of the property acquired contains 5 acres or less but the ownership contains a commercial enterprise such as a used car dealership, a parking lot, a mobile home park or similar type of commercial use, the land shall be considered non-residential.
