Site Development Guide - National Capital Planning Commission

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CAMPUS - BETHESDASite Development GuideCurrently, the ICC-B site includes 1,800 general use, employee and visitor parking spaces; all of whichare at grade. Factoring in associated on-site access road pavements, existing vehicle operating areasabsorb nearly half of the overall site area, (approx. 14 acres).Given the value of this real estate, consolidating parking requirements and developing more effective onsitevehicle management strategies is a core planning objective; approximately 2,200 parking spaces willbe required to support planned site missions.Key Issue:Site design requirements mandate minimum stand-off distances which significantly limit use of atgradeparking. This loss of vehicle operating space and limited site expansion opportunities are keyelements which initiated consideration of a multi-level parking garage as a site development solution.These factors coupled with the poor and inconsistent aesthetics of the existing site increased theinterest in creating a consolidated Parking Facility.Integral to evaluation of parking needs is addressing the existing vehicle access control and buildingsetback security deficiencies of the current site plan (Figure 1.6). All federal government facilityredevelopment projects must address appropriate anti-terrorism and force protection standards,standards which will eliminate use of significant portions of the existing parking and vehicle operationareas at this site.Erskine HallAbert HallMaury HallEmoryBldgRoberdeauHallFigure 1.6: Existing site facilities perspective, (Courtesy of NGA site personnel)Section 1: Page 7 of 10
