Site Location
• Detailed geography (soil, subsoil, vegetation)• Environmental concerns• Population composite (demographics of area)• Constituency representation (political clout)• Flood area (drainage, runoff)• Climate, precipitation, winds, natural disaster
strikes (hurricane paths, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods)
• Capital improvement plan maps (illustrating current and planned projects by council district)
(continued)

Site Location (continued)
• Enterprise zone ownership and land use maps
• Acreage (adequate for buildings, parking, picnic areas)
• Additional acreage for expansion• Shape (acute angles or odd shapes are
possible wasted space)• Topography (level terrain, steep slopes)• Zoning regulations (permit required,
parking, setbacks)• Access (from principal roads, local streets,
truck or bus access)

Site Plan
After the selection of a proposed site, the following features of the site plan should be considered:
• Off-site nuisances (rivers, sewage treatment plants, industries)
• Safety factors (roads, buffer zones, sight lines, emergency access)
• Proper drainage for turf and hard-surface areas (flood zone area)
(continued)

Site Plan (continued)
• Fencing and planting to serve as separation of areas
• Placement of service building for safety, control, and supervision (access for vehicles)
• Layout of walkways for safe and efficient circulation (must meet ADA requirements)
• Lighting of fields, courts, and general areas • Cost of maintenance (preventive and
corrective)

Site Plan (continued)
• Provision of first-aid facilities, equipment, and supplies
• Existing topographic features, trees, and vegetation should be used
• Accessibility and use of the site for the aging and disabled
• Use of durable and vandal-proof materials and equipment

• Prime locations will cost the greatest amount.
• Taxes and fees are factored into the cost.• What is the best acquisition option?• What issues should be considered when

Buying vs. Leasing (continued)
Benefits of leasing:• Tax-deductible rent• Can quickly move• No large investment• Not responsible for

Various factors go into making a finaldecision:
• Review of feasibility studies (economic and political impact)
• Permits (lease, license, or letter)• Site information (environnemental issues)• Regulations (building codes, health
ordinances)• Community involvement

Facility Design
• What are the key components for a sport facility on your campus or in your local community?
• What makes the design of a sport facility unique?
![Page 14: Author name here for Edited books chapter 5 Facility Site and Design 5 chapter.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082505/56649eeb5503460f94bfd10f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Discussion Questions and Activities
• What would you include in an arena if you were allowed to build the ultimate arena and cost was not an issue?
• Go to a local sport facility and draw a rough sketch of the facility and then draw your ideal layout (i.e., how you might change the design for the facility to be more effective or to possibly generate more revenue).
