P231 Sustainable Site Planning Process

______________ is a holistic approach to creating environmentally sensitive development and mitigating environmental degradation.

• Special planning, design, and management

• Development-focused planning, design, and management

• Sustainable planning, design, and management

• Beautiful planning, design, and management

In the Site Planning Process, ________ defines the project’s objectives and functional requirements, including the proposed activities, area allocated for each activity, and the functional or spatial relationships among those activities

• Site analysis

• Site inventories

• Site selection

• Programming

In the Site Planning Process, ________ map important physical, biological, and social or cultural attributes. These may include circulation patterns and traffic volumes, existing utility systems, or architectural character within the surrounding built environment. Collectively, the features of the site and its surroundings, in conjunction with the project’s program, determine the attribute data that are collected for the site inventory.

• Site analysis

• Site inventories

• Site selection

• Programming

In the Site Planning Process, ________ summarizes the site’s suitability for the programmed uses. A variety of physical, biological, and cultural attributes can influence the site’s suitability for the project under consideration. Information contained in the site’s inventory maps can be synthesized to create one or more maps of the site’s suitability for development, generally, or its suitability for specific program objectives.

• Site analysis

• Site inventories

• Site selection

• Programming

During the Design & Implementation Phases, ________ is the process of adapting the program to the site, flows directly from the site analysis. Sustainable site design adapts the project’s program elements to the unique features of the site.

• Design Development

• Conceptual Design

• Construction Documentation

• Implementation Phase

During the Design & Implementation Phases, the ________ process refines or spatially articulates, these diagrammatic elements of the concept plan. Regardless of the project’s program, design development involves documenting— with plans, sections, elevations, and three-dimensional perspectives—how the plan’s components will appear and relate to one another functionally.

• Design Development

• Conceptual Design

• Construction Documentation

• Implementation Phase

During the Design & Implementation Phases, the ________ phase generates construction drawings (plans, elevations, sections, and details) together with the written construction specifications

• Design Development

• Conceptual Design

• Construction Documentation

• Implementation Phase

During the Design & Implementation Phases, the ________ phase is where approvals and permits that may be required from government agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national levels are generated.

• Design Development

• Conceptual Design

• Construction Documentation

• Implementation Phase

The following site attributes are collected during site inventory

• Physical, biological and cultural attributes

• Ecological, Social and Economic Attributes

• Hazards, constraints and nuisances

• Legal, organizational and institutional attributes

During site inventory, we also check for ____________ vis-a-vis physical, biological, and cultural attributes that may influence site selection and or limit site development

• Physical, biological and cultural attributes

• Ecological, Social and Economic Attributes

• Hazards, constraints and nuisances

• Legal, organizational and institutional attributes
