all design impacts including utilities, vehicular and pedestrian
circulation patterns, points of ingress/egress, parking areas, and
future parking facilities. Also include water bodies, slopes,
floodplains, wetlands, surface and subsoil conditions, climatic
conditions, etc. Evaluate these characteristics in the context of
the proposed project development.
5.3
Evaluate these impacts on projections in the Facility Development
Plan (FDP). Analyze how future site construction, circulation,
parking, access to buildings, and green space requirements will be
met.
5.4
Develop phasing strategies to determine construction impacts on
maintaining hospital routine, ingress/egress of pedestrians and
vehicular traffic flows, transportation and storage of
construction materials, mitigation of environmental impacts (see
Article 9), and the sequencing of new construction events to
minimize conflicts.
5.5
Resubmit the narrative at each design phase review, incorporating
all comments from the previous review, and new design features.
5.6
Submit copies of other technical discipline narratives that
include data that affect the final site plan design.
SITE ANALYSIS SUMMARY PLAN: Develop a site analysis plan with a graphic

description of site constraints and possibilities, to include:
A.
Utilities, on and off the site;
B.
Access routes, traffic control devices, and future off-site
road improvements; and
C.
Off-site road work necessitated by the project.

SCHEMATIC SITE DEVELOPMENT AND LANDSCAPING SYSTEM:
7.1
General: The schematic design phase identifies alternate
architectural and engineering solutions for the project. VA
considers the total environmental approach a necessity to good
site development.
7.2
The attached VA prepared site schematic is diagrammatic. The A/E
is not expected to strictly adhere to the building location and
paving designs shown.
7.3
Using the methodology narrative and the site analysis plan,
prepare the schematic site development design. Include all valid
alternative solutions.
7.4
If a VA Facility Development Plan (FDP) has not been completed or
this project was not included in the FDP, then present a minimum
of three alternative architectural and site schematics that are
functionally viable. The VA will review and select the schematic
site development plan to be used for the Design Development design
phase.
7.5
Develop the Final Schematic Plan to provide a well designed
facility. Utilize the data furnished by VA for the project,
consisting of design objectives, limitations, criteria, site
requirements, and subsequent VA instructions. Use originality and
imaginative design between site and structures, vehicular and
pedestrian circulation, visual elements, and open and screened
