Average square foot space needs per employee, by individual component/personnel classification, will be defined, along with space needs for specialized equipment, meeting rooms, and other non-personnel space needs. The net square footage requirement for each component of the proposed facility will be determined. The total quantity of land required to accommodate the proposed facility will be determined by identifying the following: Total square footage required for structures such as administrative/operations facility, maintenance area, fueling bays, etc. On-site vehicle and equipment storage. Employee and patron parking requirements. Vehicular access and maneuvering; and Future expansion requirements.
