Legal Definitions - site

Definition: A site is a specific location or piece of property that is designated for a particular use.

For example:

• A construction company may purchase a site to build a new office building.
• A city may designate a site for a new park or playground.
• A developer may create a site plan, which is an illustrated proposal for the development or use of a particular piece of real property. This plan is usually presented to the city council for approval before the project can be completed.

These examples illustrate how a site can be a physical location that is set aside for a specific purpose, such as construction, recreation, or development. A site can also refer to a plan or proposal for how a piece of property will be used or developed.
