7. PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Preferred Option – Alternative 5
 Provides a general land use mix which is consistent with perceived market trends and is consistent with Light and Support Strategy
Provides for a flexible framework for investment and industry allocation with a variety of lot sizes within each land use and land use distribution
The disbursed land use pattern provides an optimal approach for phasing, implementation and marketing of lands
Provides for opportunities for strategic diversification within the light and support sector through the location of a variety of light and support land uses
Provides for a very efficient development configuration with a grid road pattern
Makes best use of high profile sites with highway exposure for Industrial and Heavy Steel Manufacturing, Conversion, and Industrial Services
Locates Light Steel Fabrication and Construction uses on the periphery of the area, with easy access to road networks, but away from high profile areas
Locates Central Commercial Node next to one of the main accesses to the area, providing opportunities for creating a gateway, high levels of urban design and streetscaping, and locating landmark buildings as welcoming features
Minimizes environmental issues with a layout that provides opportunities for reducing solar exposure along the main/longer building façades and thus reducing cooling needs
Provides for an efficient and appropriate connectivity with high capacity directional ramps on TS-6 and direct ramps to/from Abu Hadriyah and TS-4 with ability to accommodate trip generation for mid-level development potential
Direct ramps provide significant capacity benefits as access to/from all directions
Complies with proposed security zone as it does not include direct access to T-308.
Notwithstanding Alternative 5’s many advantages, the preferred concept has limited potential to connect to T-308 and T-317 due to the location of the Security Fence north of T This limitation does not provide an ideal level of connectivity between J2 and the Stage 4 lands and may impact the marketability of some lands.

18. PHASING RATIONALE Key factors:
Market demand for land
Ease of implementation for transportation/ infrastructure
Ensure coordinated approach to development
Avoid large stretches of vacant land
Align with demand trends & allocation strategy
Allow for timely landscaping and design elements
Provide flexibility for phasing transportation solutions
Set priorities for spending program

19. Implementation Program
Project Charters
Phased Infrastructure
Roads Projects
Landscape and Irrigation Projects
Schedule of Delivery
Provide a high level schedule
Identify the key milestones
Preliminary Capital Cost Estimate
Order of magnitude cost for each project charter in each phase.

20. Benefits and Challenges to Integrated Approach
High value for cross-discipline learning:
nothing done in isolation
all disciplines have an appreciation of the implications they have on other work tasks
High value added for the client:
reduces the likelihood of re-work at the detailed design stage
high value for team approach to subsequent tasks / projects
Commitment by team (consultant and client) to communicate through each phase of process
