Site Plans

Site plans are planning at the micro level. They are required for specific buildings and/or groups of buildings. A site plan establishes where a building sits on a lot, how parking is oriented, landscaping, access, and how people move through the site. Traffic patterns are defined from access points to parking or unloading and out of the site as well as through drive-through/drop-off lanes. The latter are required for an increasing number of businesses and institutions ranging from fast food outlets to banks to pharmacies and post offices. Site plans also define where utilities cross the site for service to the building, how drainage is achieved including the location of detention ponds, and location of auxiliary requirements such as dumpsters and their access.

Site planning, in particular, makes use of Landplan’s integration of survey, landscape architecture, engineering, and platting capabilities. Updated software is utilized to assess vehicular movement to loading docks, in drive-through lanes, and within parking areas as well as in and out of the site. Creative approaches to stormwater issues incorporate detention in site amenities or even building security features where possible. Parking patterns are optimized for number of stalls and safety. Client’s expansion plans and goals are incorporated in utility service line planning and building placement. Familiarity with access regulations and curb-cut restrictions buttress Landplan’s ability to achieve consistent and timely planning approvals at the submission and public presentation stage.
