5.3 Criteria. Upon the certification of need for a protective acquisition, the Department and its legal counsel shall initiate an internal review process to determine whether the property meets the criteria for a protective acquisition. At minimum, the request must demonstrate to the Department's satisfaction that:

5.3.1 Development would increase the ultimate cost of the acquisition to taxpayers; or

5.3.2 Development would limit location alternatives for a project;
