• A historic site or heritage site is an official location where pieces of political,
military, cultural, or social history have been preserved due to their cultural
heritage value.
• A historic site may be any building, landscape, site or structure that is of
local, regional, or national significance

• Is reviewing of all available records of the site, including plats and maps,
diaries, articles, journals, local records, or any other source of information
about the site. Emerging Professional’s Companion

Site Inventory helps the architect identify the existing site features and other buildings/
elements which enable the architect to asses the integrity of the site.

A site which was previously used a dump site of hazardous chemicals will more likely

Site considerations
if previous site use was a landfill:
• The site should have been closed at least 10 years prior to redevelopment; Emerging Professional’s Companion
• The waste should be shallow with a depth of less than 10 m; http://tmsarchitects.com/inspirations/th
• The site should have a stable low water table; buildings/

• The development should be appropriate for the site conditions. Thus, expensive SITE PLANNING AND DESIGN

development.
• Development of old landfills include structural challenges such as foundation design and
utility alignment and environmental challenges such as mitigation of explosion and
health risks and air, soil, and groundwater impacts.
3. Old Foundations
• Two types of existing structures may affect building design. One is any
infrastructure previously built on the site and the other is nearby structures Emerging Professional’s Companion
that may affect a new building on the site.

LAND USE
• Land use is how people are using the land.
INSERT REFERENCE
• Land Use refers to the manner of utilization of land, including
its allocation, development and management.
LAND OWNERSHIP

A. PRESENT ZONING OF SITE AND ADJACENT PROPERTY
• ZONING
• Zoning is the division of a community into zones or districts (e.g.)

commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, etc.)
• According to present and potential uses of land to maximize, regulate and
direct their use and development in accordance with the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan of the community.
The present zoning of the site should be considered in the site assessment
including its adjacent properties, to determine what type of project will best suite
or will be applicable to the site.
Not all projects is compatible with the site based on land use of the site.
Ex. Industrial Buildings should not be constructed on sites whice are located on
residential zones.
• Zoning Ordinance
Zoning ordinances and regulations are laws setting limits on how

properties can be used. Cities, counties, townships and other local
governments use zoning laws to guide development and shape the
community, usually under an overall zoning plan.
• ADJACENT PROPERTY
define as every neighbor that share a property line with the

subject property as well as those neighbor across any street or
alley.
B. ADJACENT LAND USE (SURROUNDING)
➢ These are land uses of adjacent surroundings of the site.
➢ This should be included in the site analysis to determine the potential and
opportunities that the site has in terms of neighboring sites.
➢ Ex. If the site is near a commercial zone or institutional zone, which will be an
opportunity for development of the proposed project.

C. TYPE OF LAND OWNERSHIP
• State Ownership of Land
• A piece of land comes under the control of the government through certain ways.
• Land Grants
• donate land for the purpose of education and setting up religious
institutions.
• is a gift of real estates.

COMMUNITY SERVICES
➢ Community Services such as schools , churches, shopping centers, parks,
municipal services, recreational facilities, food services, health services, access
to highway and public transportations are big factors in the assessment of the
site.
➢ Site layout may consider this community services, as to their locations. The
entry or exits of the site may be oriented to a specific community service,
depending on the function the project.
➢ Ex. Entrance of a subdivision may be directed to where the public transport is

more accessible.
