Though CARLA had been previously used in designing multi-housing complexes on challenging sites, the Aliamanu site presented a greater challenge due to a non-active volcanic crater floor in a one hundred year old flood plain of clay.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal|last1=McGrath|first1=David J.|title=A-E Computerized Path to Large-Scale Housing|journal=Engineering News Record|date=November 1976|pages=Cover Story}}</ref> Fundamental to the development of an economical land-use plan for Aliamanu was the firm’s belief that the “best site plans are those that least disturb the land, that preserve the natural drainage channels and minimize need to cut and fill.”<ref name=":0" /> Land planning decisions were based on the principle−Less construction means less destruction.
