mechanical equipment balconies in gross building area calculations. Exterior covered areas such as balconies over 2
sq. m. count as half scope, and are measured from the face of the enclosure wall to the edge of the covered area. Stairs and elevator shafts count as half scope per floor that they serve. Refer to NAVFAC P-80, Facility Planning Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps Shore Installations, for more information on scope calculation. The gross building area for bachelor housing should not exceed 66 sq. m. per apartment module except for specifically justified space for mid-rise buildings not to exceed an
additional 4 sq. m. (43 sq. ft.) per apartment module. This limitation emphasizes the need to efficiently design the
apartment module and to provide more area outside the modules for recreation, community, and support functions. Apartment modules with a gross area of the recommended 46 sq. m. allow 20 to 24
sq. m. (215 to 258 sq. ft.) to apply to areas outside the module (66 or 70 sq. m. minus 46 sq. m.), whereas larger apartment modules, while allowed, limit the size and potentially the quality of areas providing recreation, community, and support functions.
2.8 Site Selection
a) For the Navy. Follow the established planning process. Site selections are addressed by the base, with the Public Works Office and the bachelor housing management staff making preliminary decisions. EFDs or EFAs can provide studies and support when requested by activities. Bachelor housing managers should have a strategic plan for their bachelor housing approved by the Base Commanding Officer. Quality of life factors of importance are: development potential; proximity to existing support facilities; relationship to community facilities;
existing topography; existing landscape; available base infrastructure; adjoining land uses; vehicle circulation systems; future expansion; relation to existing bachelor housing; existing walkways; and designated bike and jogging paths. Previous site selections have placed many bachelor housing in or near
operations areas. Many of these sites are not good Quality of Life Neighborhoods. A simple rule of thumb for evaluating a bachelor housing site is, "Would it make a good family housing site?" If not, then it is not a good location for a bachelor quarter. Long range planning will address relocation of existing bachelor housing located in sites that cannot provide
Neighborhood of Excellence Standards.
