CHAPTER 3
THE SITE PLAN
3-1. GENERAL. This chapter provides guidance for site planning procedures and for
preparing a Site Plan.
3-2. RELATIONSHIP TO THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN. An Area Development Plan
may have been prepared which should provide a sketch of the facilities proposed on site. If a
specific site was not part of an ADP and no conceptual plan has been prepared, review the
ADP process defined in Chapter 2 of this instruction, and develop a Concept Plan for the site.
Once the concept plan has been prepared and adopted by installation command, the Site Plan
can be prepared.
3-3. THE SITE PLANNING PROCESS. The site planning process includes all of the steps
outlined for the ADP process. The difference is in the greater detail that is required for the site
plan. The site planning process is designed to occur sequentially, from beginning to end,
resulting in the final Site Plan which is a detailed plan that will be used to develop construction
drawings. The process involves standard land use planning practices in three major phases:
Identification, Evaluation, and Implementation. The process to be followed is described in this
section. For this instruction, a Site Plan for an installation Guest Housing Facility will be
developed to illustrate the sequence of steps included in the process.
a. Identification. The identification phase includes setting goals and objectives, defining
detailed facility and spatial requirements, defining functional relationships, and collecting base
data and maps.
(1) Goals and Objectives. The goals and objectives of the site are based upon the
goals and objectives of the user mission and installation development. Therefore, preparing
goals and objectives requires an in-depth review of the user's mission and definition of how the
proposed project is intended to accomplish or support the mission. The goals and objectives
become guidelines for the planning process. The goals are more general in nature, while the
objectives define specific actions that will achieve the goals.
(a) Goal: Provide for a convenient, well planned guest housing facility.
1/ Objective 1: Provide logical arrangement of Army guest buildings to
provide for all rooms to be located within close proximity to office and central storage facility.
2/ Objective 2: Provide central office/check in at main vehicular entry point.
3/ Objective 3. Provide centralized swimming pool and outdoor gathering
area.
(b) Goal: Provide adequate parking
