“Site analysis is a vital step in the design process. It involves the evaluation
of an existing or potential site in relation to the development program,
environmental impact, impacts on the community and adjacent properties,
project budget, and schedule. The site analysis identifies environmental,
program, and development constraints and opportunities. A well-executed
site analysis forms the essential foundation for a cost-effective, environmentally
sensitive, and rational approach to project development.”
