UFC 3-210-01A16 January 2004FOREWORD\1\The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and providesplanning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and appliesto the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordancewith USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects andwork for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States isalso governed by Status of forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded ConstructionAgreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, theSOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available tousers as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for militaryconstruction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval FacilitiesEngineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) areresponsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact thepreparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC isthe responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group.

CEMP-ETTI 804-011 July 1998CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION1-1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE. These Technical Instructions (TI) describe the AreaDevelopment Planning (ADP) and Site Planning processes to be used in preparing plans forconstruction drawings. The instructions are intended to be used by those individuals given theresponsibility for site planning which includes site selection, site development, and site design.The planning procedures that occur in developing a project are described in these instructions.The procedures described are sound and provide a logical process to the end result.a. Area Development Plan. The ADP is described as providing facility planning at thesmall area or sub-area level which falls between master planning for an entire installation(RPMP) and site planning for individual buildings (see figure 1-1). The ADP process includesthe phases--Identification, Evaluation and Implementation. Identification includes defining thegoals and objectives, verifying the program requirements, developing functional relationships,defining spatial relationships, providing an inventory of the area and accomplishing a site visit.Evaluation includes the development of a site analysis that graphically shows thedevelopmental opportunities and constraints for the area. Alternative conceptual plans aredeveloped for evaluation and a determination of a final area development plan isaccomplished. Implementation includes the procedures of the Army military constructionprogram for development and execution.b. Site Plan. Site planning is described as further defining the functional layout forspecific buildings or functions and their site. It also includes the phases--Identification,Evaluation, and Implementation. Identification includes defining site specific goals andobjectives, verifying the program requirements, developing functional relationships, definingspatial relationships, providing an inventory of the area and accomplishing a site visit.Evaluation includes the development of a site analysis that graphically shows thedevelopmental opportunities and constraints for the site. Alternative conceptual plans aredeveloped for evaluation and a determination of a final site plan is accomplished. The resultingsite plan provides the basis for the preparation of construction drawings. Implementationincludes the procedures of the Army military construction program for development andexecution. The design criteria discusses building design, location and orientation, vehicularcirculation and parking, pedestrian circulation, surface water management, utility systemsdesign, lighting design, landscape design, and physical security.1-2. APPLICABILITY. These instructions are applicable to all USACE elements involved inpreparing plans for areas, sites, and facilities for Army and civilian installations.1-3. REFERENCES. References used in these instructions are identified in appendix A.1-4. DESIGN TEAM. The ADP and site planning processes should be the responsibility of aninterdisciplinary team of design professionals (see ER 1110-1-8152, ProfessionalRegistration). This multi-professional approach to the planning process helps assure that allaspects of the man-made and natural characteristics of the area being planned are properlyand thoroughly considered (see ER 1110-1-12, Engineering and Design Quality Management).Plans are prepared to provide a comprehensive solution to the program requirementsaddressing environmental assessment of actions, design quality, and economic efficiency.1-1
CEMP-ETTI 804-011 July 1998The interdisciplinary team should be identified at the beginning of the planning process so thatits expertise can be applied from the outset. The membership of the team and the team leaderwill be determined by the functional requirements of the project. There are typically four majorcomponents of a planning and design team: landscape architecture, land planning, civilengineering, and architecture. The landscape architect may take the lead role because of theexpertise required in area and site planning. Other professionals such as mechanical andelectrical engineers, hydrologists, geologists, and historic preservationists may be included inthe planning process as warranted by specific conditions. Intended users and other citizensshould also be involved throughout the process. User input is critical to the success of theplan.1-2

CEMP-ETTI 804-011 July 1998CHAPTER 2THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN2-1. GENERAL. This chapter provides guidance for the preparation of an Area DevelopmentPlan (ADP). The ADP is a process used to prepare a planning framework for areas that consistof complex or incompatible functions or functions requiring large areas of land which impactcirculation and utilities. It may include a number of individual buildings or activities withcommon elements associated by function such as administration facilities or barracks facilities,or facilities that differ in use but are associated by proximity.2-2. PURPOSE. The ADP provides for the definition of program requirements by coordinatingthe location of buildings, vehicular and pedestrian access, parking, open space and otheractivities or facilities within the area. The end result of the process is a plan for the area bothin written and graphic format. It describes the planning process, presents an efficient,economic and functional plan and provides direction for implementing the plan. Graphics are ofprimary importance throughout the plan to communicate the design intent and planningprinciples that are proposed for the area. The Final Area Plan is a graphic illustration of all ofthe elements proposed to occur within the area boundaries. The plan also includes details orsketches to illustrate important land use, circulation, and utilities. The plans, text, and graphicsprovide a framework that defines an efficient, economic, and functional area. The actualconfiguration of the individual sites can then be further refined in the Site Planning processdescribed in chapter 3. The area development process uses urban design principles tointegrate incompatible land uses and functional requirements within the existing manmade andnatural environment.2-3. THE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROCESS. The ADP process is designed to occur ina series of steps or actions that result in a Final Area Development Plan. The process isillustrated by the flow chart in figure 2-1. The process involves standard land use planningpractices in three major planning phases: Identification, Evaluation, and Implementation. Theprocess is sequential and designed to be followed from beginning to end. Area boundariesand general decisions as to how and by whom the area will be used should have been definedin the Real Property Master Plan. If not, the selection of area boundaries will be determinedbefore the ADP process can begin. For this document, an Area Development Plan for aCommunity Center will be developed to illustrate the sequence of steps included in theprocess.a. Identification. The identification phase includes the setting of goals and objectives,defining facility and spatial requirements, defining functional relationships, and the collection ofbase maps and data.(1) Goals and Objectives.

The design criteria discusses building design, location and orientation, vehicular circulation and parking, pedestrian circulation, surface water management, utility systems design, lighting design, landscape design, and physical security. 1-2.
