Which statement about site plans is correct?

• A. A sketch depicting interior layout
• B. A sketch showing the general arrangement of the property relative to streets and adjacent properties
• C. A vertical cross-section of the site
• D. A 3D rendering of the site

Answer: (B)

Site plans depict the outside context of a property—how the building sits on the lot, property boundaries, street frontage, access points, setbacks, parking, and relationships to adjacent properties. This kind of drawing is used to evaluate how a site can be accessed by fire and emergency responders, where driveways and hydrants lie, and how the site interfaces with surrounding streets and properties. That makes the statement describing a sketch of the general arrangement of the property relative to streets and adjacent properties the correct one.

Interior layouts belong to floor plans, showing rooms and walls inside the building. A vertical cross-section shows elevations and how features line up in a cut-through view. A 3D rendering is a visual model used for presentation rather than the regulatory site layout.
