Residential Site Plans Residential site plans can be one of the most important starting points for residential development. These plans can be considered the green light that a building will meet the bare minimum with regard to local zoning, and other various necessary requirements. Here we will be breaking down what exactly a residential site plan is, some examples, and why they are so important for anyone considering residential development in the U.S.
A residential site plan is a site plan specifically drawn for the purpose of building a livable space. Site plans are drawings that function as a readable map to show how a building will sit on a given plot of land while accounting for various requirements. So not only can a residential site plan confirm a home can fit on a given piece of land, it can also confirm that it will conform to necessary zoning restrictions.
Residential Site Plan Example
Here is an example of what a residential site plan would look like for a large development of 50+ townhomes:
As you can see in the above drawing, not only are the homes fitted within the given plot, but also many various features are included such as roadways, parking, and handicap parking. All of which are required via local zoning requirements. This drawing confirms that this development at a minimum will be able to fit within a given plot, and can meet local requirements.
Who Can Use Residential Site Plans?
Anyone from an experienced developer to a homeowner looking to add an addition to their home can benefit from the use of a site plan. Homeowners can use a residential site plan to ensure an addition can fit within the property lines of their home, while also accounting for factors such as setbacks, local zoning requirements, and building codes. Developers can use site plans for even more than just proper due diligence. Savvy developers will use site plans as a means to market to potential investors as an assurance of project success, as well as assistance in the process of receiving approvals for permits down the road.
Essentially anyone with an interest in residential construction can benefit from residential site plans. The opportunity for what can be accomplished with one is very broad, and can oftentimes be needed for the overall success of a project.
