SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES



SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES

Main Entry: The shopping center main entry plaza serves as an extension of the interior service mall. It is connected to a system of exterior pedestrian pathways and scaled to function as a multipur-pose public gathering space. The utilization of the UFC 25m stand-off area at the front of the shopping center provides an opportunity to create a dynamic combination of exterior spaces that are uniquely representative of the installation context.

Mall Exterior Vending: Provide weather protected outdoor space for vending and flexible use by portable kiosk sales. Provide power and water connections.

Outdoor Seating: Develop the required 25m standoff zone at the food court for potential outdoor seating and food concept kiosks. Provide power and water connections.

Employee Parking and Building Access: Locate in a secure area adjacent to the employee entrance which is secured by a card reader control system. Provide outdoor spaces for seating and a designated smoking area.

Vendor Parking and Access: Locate near the employee entrance and outside the 25m standoff area. Vendors access the facility through the employee entrance.

Parking Stall Considerations: The Exchange recommends four (4) car parking stalls per 1000 SF of gross building area. 2% of this total number is to be handicap accessible type parking stalls. One (1) of every six (6) handicap accessible stalls is to be sized for a van. See Exchange Module Sizing Chart for required number of park-ing stalls. Reference LEED recommendations and signage require-ments. Standard parking stall size is 9’-0” x 18’-0”.

Outdoor Living (ODL): This includes a loading area, customer parking, merchandise pick-up and receiving. Provide after-hours entry control via lockable gates.

Retail Sales Receiving: The receiving area is designed to ac-commodate a high volume of 52’ truck/trailer deliveries at both de-pressed and on-grade docks. Access is provided via motor-operated, remotely monitored and controlled gates. All vehicle maneuvering must be off street within the secure, sight screened area perimeter. Provide long term container storage, waste management and recy-cling storage areas. Verify waste container types, sizes and quanti-ties with Exchange and the Installation.

Food Service Receiving: An on-grade loading area sized to ac-commodate two vehicles up to 52’ in length, located adjacent to the food preparation area. Provide an enclosure for waste management and recycling containers. Confirm container types, sizes and quanti-ties with Exchange and the Installation.

Provide:• Curbed area (within enclosure) for grease storage.• Hot and cold water source and a drain.• Roof cover for enclosures less than 35’ from building

• And outside secure receiving area perimeter.• Receiving area perimeter sight screen

Trash Enclosure: No trash enclosures within 10m setback unless entire area is secured. Ar-eas with enclosures are to have 8” CMU walls and may be uncovered if within secured yard.

MPA / Loading Dock: A recessed dock is provided for branch exchanges only in areas of extremely inclement weather. A recessed dock, with roll-up door may be substituted for a grade level dock where economically feasible because of terrain and siting conditions.

Truck/Trailer-to-Wall Relationship: A major consideration in the design of the recessed area is to prevent the rear top of the trailer striking the wall first when docking. A vertically parallel relationship with the wall can best be achieved by providing an apron surface which permits both front and rear axles to be at the same elevation when docked.

To Accommodate the Longest Trailers: A 48’ long, essentially level, apron is required, because of slope to drain. Rear top of trucks and short trailers will then be angled safely away from the wall. Where the optimal 48’ level dimension can-not be achieved, and slopes cannot be designed to maintain vertically parallel relationship, thicker dock bumpers must be provided as required to prevent impact damage. In this event, thicker dock bumpers may impose a requirement for a special dock leveler having a wider lip to compen-sate for increased bed-to-dock distance.

Paving: The apron in both recessed and grade level areas shall be minimum 5” thick reinforced concrete on compacted stabilized base, sufficient to withstand a minimum bear-ing capacity of 36,000 lbs. under a tandem axle.

Lane Markers: To facilitate accurate back-ing, guidelines shall be painted on the apron of the recessed area. Paint shall be type spe-cifically formulated for pavement marking.

Pipe Bollards: 6” diameter heavy duty steel, concrete filled, pipes shall be provided as shown, 54” high, embedded 3’ minimum into concrete.

Standoff Distance Requirements: Reference UFC website for the most current information.

Lighting Controls - Centralized Panel Network

General – Provide a centralized lighting control panel network consisting of lighting control panels, lighting control modules, and various input control devices. One panel shall be designated as the master panel, and shall have an integral programmable processor with a built in astronomical time clock. Each relay shall be individu-ally programmable and respond to programming of the time-clock, as well as digital, analog, and other low voltage inputs. These inputs will include occupancy sensors, photocells, digital switches, low voltage momentary contact switches, and inputs from other systems. Inputs from other systems may communicate via dry contact closures. Head end panel shall also include an Ethernet interface to accommodate connection to other building systems, such as an energy management system (EMS) or building automa-tion system (BAS).This interface shall communicate over a pro-tocol such as BacNet or LonWorks. Coordinate requirements with mechanical system provider.

In addition to the panels, there will also be lighting control mod-ules that contain (4) relays for on/off control, and (4) 0-10V dim-ming outputs. These modules will accept inputs from photocells and occupancy sensors, as well as digital switches. These modules are also network devices, and will be connected to the centralized lighting control panel network. These modules will be used in all applications that full range dimming and daylight harvesting are required.

1. In rooms large enough to warrant full range day lighting (larg-er than 10 square meters with horizontal or vertical glazing), a primary and secondary daylight zone shall each be estab-lished, based on their proximity to the exterior glazing. Closed loop daylight harvesting shall be utilized, and each zone shall be calibrated to adjust the associated level of artificial light in that zone, to maintain an even illumination throughout the entire space. (i.e. the light in the zone right next to the glazing (the primary zone), will reduce output more than the second-ary zone, which will reduce output more than the non-daylight zones.

2. For vertical glazing, the primary daylight zone shall extend (609.6mm) 2 ft adjacent to either side of the glazing, and ex-tend out into the room a length equal to the height of the top of the glazing. The secondary daylight zone shall extend two times the height of the glazing. (i.e. vertical glazing of a height of (400mm) 15.7 inches would result in a primary daylight zone that extends 400mm from the glazing into the space, and a secondary daylight zone that extends from (400mm to 800mm), 15.7 inches to 31.5 inches.

Each digital and low voltage switch shall be given a unique identifi-cation for programming purposes.

All common areas, including corridors, shops, the mall concourse, and other circulation areas, as well as all exterior lighting, will be controlled from the centralized panel network. Each relay will be controlled by a specific time schedule as determined by the build-ing administration, and also from a local digital switch. Regional sub-master and master switches shall also be provided. A master

switch should be provided for each building area, including the Retail area, the mall concourse, the administration area, MPA, MCSS, etc., shall all have master switches located in the administra-tion area in a secure location that is coordinated with the owner. System shall be capable of as-signing priority to devices and control functions based on the time of day. For example, local digital switches shall be disabled during certain business hours when the administration or the tenant does not want the lights to be turned off.

Not all lighting control devices are shown. Supply lighting control panels and modules as needed for complete control of facility.

Lighting Controls - Local Occupancy Based Control

In addition to the centralized panel network that provides complete sweep off capabilities on a time schedule, provide local occupancy based control for rooms as indicated on the drawings.

All offices and administrative areas shall have local occupancy based control. Rooms smaller than approximately 12 square meters shall utilize wall-type occupancy sensor switches. Larger rooms shall use ceiling mounted type sensors and standard 1P-20A wall switches. All devices shall be downstream of building lighting control network.

1. All occupancy sensors shall be dual technol-ogy (ultra-sonic & passive infrared).

a. Occupancy sensors shall be calibrated to turn lights off within 15 minutes of vacancy. Sensors shall be calibrated to detect motion in all areas of the room.
