What is a site plan?

A site plan is a critical document in the planning and development process that visually represents the layout of a property and its various features. It typically includes the arrangement of structures, landscaping, parking areas, walkways, and connections to streets or utilities, providing a comprehensive view of how the property will be developed and used in relation to its surroundings.

This is essential for understanding how a proposed development will fit within the existing environment and affects zoning, land use, and safety regulations. The other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of a site plan: a detailed drawing of interior rooms focuses on a building’s interior layout, a blueprint for utility layout is more specific to utilities without encompassing entire site features, and a safety inspection report pertains to evaluations of building safety rather than a layout representation.
