Give more detail about the elements of your site analysis that you feel will be Important in your design process. Make sure you include images. There are various ways you can do this: - Sketches from site - Photographs from site - Annotated photographs Present any relevant data found (climate, sun paths etc). Keep data clear and concise, don't bore everyone with complicated graphs and tables. Instead, make your own chart or table that picks out the important information. Present your sun paths and angles as some sort of annotated drawing. Sketchup can be a useful way of presenting sun path drawings. Be sure to show the North Arrow on plans Depending on what has been asked of you, sometimes it is useful to present a couple of overlay drawings showing some initial ideas you have worked on. This will demonstrate your understanding of the site.Site Planning 2 nnn o Site planning determines the detailed layout of an area so that it functions effectively in relation to a given range of land uses on the site and others around it. 2 Site planning is working out the detail of: 1) what should happen on a given area of land; 2) how it should happen; 3) what it will cost to implement and manage proposed developments on the area of land. Site Planning = a Site Planning occurs after Strategic Planning has taken place and after the land use has been decided in relation to social, economic, and environmental needs. 2 Site planning is an integral part of land use planning that involves the arrangement of structures, natural or man- made, on the land and shaping the spaces between. a “Site Planning” involves planning for a smaller urban area already defined for commercial, residential, industrial, recreational, or mixed use development.Site Planning 2 nnn o Site planning determines the detailed layout of an area so that it functions effectively in relation to a given range of land uses on the site and others around it. 2 Site planning is working out the detail of: 1) what should happen on a given area of land; 2) how it should happen; 3) what it will cost to implement and manage proposed developments on the area of land. a While land use planning deals with broad policy areas on land use utilization, site planning focuses more on the intimate relationship between man and space and between building and space. a Site Planning is viewed as a natural extension of land use planningSite Planning and Land-Use Plans cu Site Planning references include PD 957, BP 220, HLURB Guidelines, National Building Code, LGU Ordinances and CLUP Handbooks » Density: the intensity of development; Floor- Area-Ratio is one measure/contro! of density; FAR= total building GFA/ot area » Easement: building setback > Building HeightSite Planning and Land-Use Plans co Land use planning deals with broad policy areas on land use utilization, while site planning focuses more on the intimate relationship between man and space and between building and space. 0 Site Planning is viewed as a natural extension of land use planning co ln the overall development planning process, site planning occurs after land use planning has taken place or after the land use has been decided in relation to social, economic, and environmental needs.AREA DEVELOPMENT PLANNING *prvidgs an important nk the Physi!

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT LL + PUD standards may include requirements for easements and/or deed restrictions to prevent additional development. + Municipalities can require a management plan for open spaces or natural areas to be held in some form of common ownership. & aesPUD and Density Bonuses Municipalities can be creative and use density bonuses as a “carrot” to promote a range of community goals and increase use of PUD provisions. A density bonus of 1.0% for every additional 0.5% of the original parcel set aside as undevelopable above the minimum 40% set aside required To encourage clustering and conserving large blocks of undeveloped lands, density bonuses are linked to the percentage of the original parcel being set aside. The more land the subdivider is willing to conserve, the greater the bonus received The density bonus results in more lots or units than would otherwise be allowed based on zoning district regulations.
