📋 KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS
🏗️ SITE SIZE ANALYSIS
Total Site Area: 3 acres = 130,680 sq ft (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft)
⛽ Gas Station Footprint

A typical small to medium-sized gas station with pumps, convenience store, and parking occupies ~0.5–1 acre (21,780–43,560 sq ft).

Assumption: 0.75-acre gas station (32,670 sq ft)

🏢 Remaining Development Area

Available for casino, restaurant, hotel, and facilities:

~2.25 acres (98,010 sq ft)

⚖️ ZONING & REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS
🏛️ Tribal Land Regulations
  • Bypass local zoning but must comply with tribal-state gaming compacts
  • NEPA environmental regulations
  • Coastal building codes (oceanfront location)
  • Setbacks, height restrictions, and environmental considerations
📐 Lot Coverage Limits

Maximum lot coverage of 40–50% typical for commercial developments on tribal land to account for:

  • Required setbacks
  • Landscaping requirements
  • Open space compliance
  • Environmental buffer zones
🚗 PARKING & INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS
🎰 Casino Parking Standards
  • Industry standard: 2–4 spaces per 1,000 sq ft of gaming area
  • 50,000 sq ft gaming floor = 100–200 parking spaces
  • Hotel requirement: 1 space per room (200–300 spaces)
  • Total needed: 300–500 spaces
📏 Parking Space Requirements

Each parking space (including drive aisles) requires ~300–350 sq ft

300–500 spaces = 90,000–150,000 sq ft (2–3.5 acres)

Solution: Multi-level parking garage required
