SITE

• Any area which has played a significant role in the history of

our country.

• Such significance may be:

• Historical

• Cultural

• Archaeological

• Sociological

• Scientific

2

• SITE - A space or ground occupied or to be occupied by a building or a concentration of building developments or human activities that fall under the same land use category;

• Through site planning, a site is made suitable for building purposes, human activities, or life sustaining processes;

SITE PLANNING

3 Short Course on Environmental Planning


• A site for human activities (production and consumption) may be divided into lots, street pattern, and provided with such facilities as water, sewer, power, drainage, etc.

• Every site is a unique interconnected web of things and activities that imposes limitations and offers possibilities.

• A SITE (“Project Area” or “Planning Area”) varies in size, location and characteristics.

„

The art of arranging structures on the land

and shaping the spaces between; an art

linked to architecture, engineering,

landscape architecture and city planning.”

SITE PLANNING

“

„

The art and science of arranging the uses of

portions of land. These uses are designated in

detail by selecting and analyzing sites, forming

land use plans, organizing vehicular and

pedestrian circulation, developing visual form

and material concepts, readjusting the existing

landforms by design grading, providing proper

drainage, and developing the construction

details necessary to carry out the projects

- A Guide to Site and Environmental Planning, 1980 by Harvey Rubenstein

SITE PLANNING

“

„

Physical Planning is the art and science of

ordering the use of land and siting of buildings

and communication routes to secure the

maximum practicable degree of economy, social

amenities, convenience and aesthetics. It

involves the following components: physical,

social, and economic/administrative

- UAP Document 203-d Physical Planning Services





There are two methods of establishing a site:

1. Site Selection Process

• The process selects from a list of potential sites one that suits

best the given use and requirements of the project.

2. Development Suitability Process

• This process selects the best possible use and development

suited for a given site.

Soil Types and Drainage

“Good drainage” refers to the soil‟s ability to transfer gravity water downward, and that the soil is not conducive to prolonged periods of saturation.

“Poor Drainage” is when the soil is frequently or permanently saturated and may have water standing on it. This maybe caused by local accumulation of surface water, or rise in the level of groundwater within the soil because because the soil particles are too small to transmit infiltration

‣ Infiltration capacity: rate at which water penetrates the soil surface (cm/hr or inches/hr) ‣ Permeability: rate at which water within the soil moves through a given volume of material (cm/hr or inches/hr) ‣ Percolation: rate at which water is absorbed back by soil ‣ Porosity: capacity of soil or rock to hold water; ratio of the volume of void spaces in a rock or sediment to the total volume of the rock or sediment.

12

Hydrology

Hydrology: the science that studies the waters of the earth, their occurrence, circulation and distribution, their chemical and physical properties, and their reaction to the living environment

•Intense rainfalls promote highest rate of soil erosion



•Aquifer: permeable geological stratum/formation that can both store and transmit groundwater in significant quantities

•Watershed: geographic area of land bounded by topographic features and height of land that captures precipitation, filters & stores waters to a shared destination; this is important in water quality and stormwater management

14

Hydrology

Climate

Four types: cold, temperate, hot arid & hot humid.

Topography, surface materials, plant cover, location of structures, and presence/absence of water have striking impact on the microclimate

Solar orientation

Best-facing slopes

Wind flows

15

Climate

Albedo: characteristic of a surface; fraction of total radiant energy of a given wavelength incident on a surface reflected back by that surface

Passive Cooling: technology of cooling spaces through proper siting of structure and use of energy-efficient materials, with the overall objective of energy conservation

Climate and Green Building 16

Slope

Relatively Flat/ Level to Nearly Level 0-3%

Easy Grades 4-6%

Moderately Undulating to Steeply Sloping 7-14%

Steep 14-18%

Not alienable and disposable > 18%

Rolling to Hilly 18-30%

Hilly to Mountainous 30-50%

Mountainous & Excessively Steep 50% & up



Slope & Structures



Slope and Angle of Repose

Angle of Repose: the maximum angle at which any earth material can be safely inclined and beyond which it wall fall.

Soil Stabilization Techniques

19

Slope Analysis

An analytical process made on a topographic

map that produces an overall pattern of slopes,

to help the planner determine the best uses for

various portions of the site, along with the

feasibility of construction.

Data-Gathering

Site Selection & Analysis

‣ Site Selection Process: selects a site that suits best the given use and

requirements of the project; based on an established criteria

‣ Development Suitability Process: selects the best use and

development suited for a given site; site analysis using various tools

and procedures

‣ Site analysis involves studying the site in terms of various factors,

namely: (1) natural; (2) cultural; (3) aesthetic

‣ In site analysis, it is important to gather existing data about the site

and its immediate environs. This involves site reconnaissance, data-

gathering/research, and even surveys.

SITE PLANNING – DESIGN PROCESS

Kevin Lynch outlines an eight-stage site planning cycle that

includes the following:

1. Defining the problem

2. Programming and the analysis of site and user

3. Schematic design and the preliminary cost estimate

4. Developed design and detailed costing

5. Contract documents

6. Bidding and contracting

7. Construction

8. Occupation and management

SITE PLANNING

John Simond’s Planning-Design Process

29



1. Research (pre-project phase)

• Program Development

• Site Inventory

2. Analysis (site assessment)

• Site Analysis and Site Inventory (survey)

3. Synthesis

• Conceptual Design

• Preliminary Design

• Site Plan / Master Plan

General Activities of the

Site Planning-Design Process

30



Site Location Existing Conditions • Topography and Slopes

0-2% - Most developable 2-8% - Easily accommodates most categories of development 8-16% - Some development restrictions; upper limits for roads and walks 16-24% - Significant restrictions to most development 24%+ - Generally restricted for development

• Geology and Soils • Vegetation • Hydrology and Drainage • Microclimate • Views

1. Research and Analysis Phases

31



• The development of the program is the bridging step between the analysis and synthesis or design phases.

• Kevin Lynch defines the program as composed of the four “P’s”:

• “Population” refers to the actual user who may or may not be the client per se.

• “Packaging” involves the type and quantities of elements that will be provided in the design.

• “Performance” standards set the quality of elements expected, whether in terms of materials or function.

• “Patterns” refer to general physical relationships that should be achieved.

2. Program Development

32



• As Simonds explains, in developing the program the designer responds to the client’s initial statement of intent, modified on the basis of what he/she has learned at the end of the analysis phase.

• While the analysis is based upon a basic program concept, the potential of the site for development influences the planner’s ultimate program recommendations. The program should include: a. A statement of goals that the project should achieve. b. A list of project objectives by which these goals will be accomplished. c. A list of project elements that will be included and a description or analysis of their interrelationships.

SITE PLANNING

Site planning, then, is the organization of the external physical environment to accommodate human behavior. It deals with the qualities and locations of structures, land, activities, and living things. It creates a pattern of those elements in space and time, which will be subject to continuous future management and change. The technical output – the grading plans, utility layouts, survey locations, planting plans, sketches, diagrams, and specifications, are simply a conventional way of specifying this complex organization.

36



SITE SELECTION CHECKLIST

• Site characteristics – soil conditions, ground water and drainage,

slope, elevation,

• Availability of services – availability of sanitary and protective

services, removal of waste, power, fuel, and communications

• Availability of community services – public transportation facilities,

employment, stores, and markets, schools, churhes, recreation

facilities, parks, playgrounds, medical facilities, library

37



• Livability of site – types of buildings, density of development

• Costs – land costs, development costs, building costs, utility costs

• Maintenance and operating costs – utility costs, grounds

maintenance, taxes

• Marketability

• Appearance and general character – kinds of building, design of

exteriors, condition of buildings, grounds and streets

Site Planning Analysis Format



• 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.

• 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.

• “Site Planning” involves planning for a smaller urban area

already defined for commercial, residential, industrial,

recreational, or mixed use development.

SITE PLANNING



• 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.

• 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



• 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.

• Site Planning is viewed as a natural extension of land use

planning

AREA DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

• provides an important link between the Physical Framework Plan and Site Planning for the individual projects

• provides a detailed framework for decisions on Proposals contained in the Long Range Plan for functional areas of the territory.

• was originally focused on „economic development‟ but now encompasses „environmental sustainability,‟ „social viability,‟ „cultural vitality,‟ and „design/architecture‟.

•“Clustered Development” is a masterplan

that integrates commercial, residential, and

other compatible mixed uses

•Characteristics

–quality exterior design; architecturally

–located along an arterial roadway and

transit corridor and near commercial

center, community, or employment

centers

CLUSTERED DEVELOPMENT



–minimal negative impact on surrounding

properties

–separation and screening between

buildings so that residents will enjoy

privacy in their living units

–building heights, noise, traffic and other

development-related impacts are

adequately mitigated to protect adjacent

property development




–also provide for non-motorized and

pedestrian circulation, access and

facilities.

–substantial ground level landscaping

and buffering, preservation of natural

areas, substantial stands of trees.

Landscaping should be a substantial

element of the total exterior appearance,

creates an interesting and inviting

environment for residents, and softens

the appearance of concrete structures.




–Has a variety of recreational facilities

•Many newer residential developments

on suburban fringes are planned and built

as complete neighborhoods by private

development companies




• “Planned Unit Development (PUD) is an

integrated development scheme

wherein project site is comprehensively

planned as a unitary entity such that

innovations in site and building design

merit flexibility in zoning category, usually

suspension of standard zoning and its

replacement by negotiated agreements

with the LGU.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT



• A PUD requires a comprehensive

development plan for the entire area,

usually including residences, roads,

schools, recreational facilities and service

areas, plus commercial, office and

industrial areas, building siting,

complementarity of building types and

land uses, usable open spaces and the

preservation of significant natural land

features designed within the context of

balance ecology.”


58

• The purpose of PUD is to provide property owners the

flexibility to plan for the development of their land in a manner

that clusters new homes onto small lots while preserving large

areas for agricultural use or as undeveloped open space.

• PUD provisions can specify the percentage of land that

should be set aside (not subdivided into building lots or

developed).

• The minimum set aside is typically 40% or more of the original

parcel.




• 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.

Clustered vs Planned Unit Development (PUD)

61

• 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

PUD and Density Bonuses



• 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.




Movement of people and vehicles within

the site

Information on existing circulation

patterns is critical in order to minimize, if

not eliminate, potential increase in the

level of congestion, traffic hazards, and

other inconveniences related to the

proposed development

Traffic hazards are associated with high

speed, heavy circulation and dangerous

roads and intersections

CIRCULATION

65

Vehicular Circulation should have

adequate width and slope to

accommodate anticipated number

and types of vehicles

Pedestrians should be wide enough to

accommodate two-way traffic

Road hierarchy helps define zones

‣ Road Right-of-Way (RROW):

carriageway + sidewalk/s

Traffic Impact Analysis

CIRCULATION





STREETS

• Practical minimum distance between intersections on the

major arterial highway should be 250 to 300 meters.

• NO through streets should be provided

• All circulation should be directed around the periphery of

the development to the major arterial road.

• Each land of traffic will carry from 600 to 800 cars per

hour.

67



STREETS

• Horizontal alignment of all collector, minor, loop and access

streets – minimum of 60 feet in clear distance

• Vertical alignment should not exceed a grade differential of

6 to 8 percent.

• Sidewalks when used should be a minimum of 1.20 m wide.

• When trees are planted between the curb and the sidewalk

should be set back approximately 8 feet.

• If no trees are used the setback should be 1.20 m.

68

• Walkability is improved through

increased connections and

shorter street segments.

• On street parking reduces the

need for large surface parking

lots.

• Traffic is dispersed, with more

options for planning your route.

• The grid is transit and bicycle

friendly.

A street grid provides
