Status: Review Complete Pending Development Order
-Land use for this parcel is DPTOC (Downtown Pompano Beach Transit Oriented Corridor). The use is (surface parking lot) is only permitted as an ancillary use to the convenience store in this zoning district based on the regulating plans. Parking Lot (as a Principal Use) shall be owned or leased by the City or the CRA. The design of the Parking Deck or Garage or Parking Lot shall be in a manner that encourages pedestrian and transit usage. A unity of title, or unified control document must be submitted for review and approval, prior to building permit approval.
-The property is platted (J.J. Hogan's subdivision), and based on the scope of work it does not appear that re-platting would be required for the site improvements.
-The property is abuts NW 6 Street & NW 6th Avenue. The previous survey submitted indicated that along NW 6th Street, the right-of-way is 40 feet wide & along NW 6th Avenue the right-of-way is 50 feet. The current survey submitted no longer includes these notes/dimensions. Provide on all site plans (and surveys) a dimension measuring from the property line to the centerline of the right-of-way. Chapter 100.01 requires, and the City Engineer confirmed, that a minimum of 50 feet for NW 6th Street & 60 feet for NW 6th Avenue. The additional right-of-way dedications are illustrated on the plans, but the dimension to the centerline is not provided.
-The site plan indicates that NW 6th Street is a 40 foot wide right-of-way, but the distance measured to the "plat limits" is 15 feet, provide the dimension to the center line of the road. In order to comply with the required 50 feet, 25 feet must be provided to the center line of the road, confirm that this 25 feet (15 feet to the plat limits & additional 10 feet of right-of-way) is measured to the future centerline of the road, when the property on the north side of NW 6th Street is platted/dedicated for the future right-of-way.
-The city has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposal.

Status: Review Complete Pending Development Order
Disclaimer:
The services of an independent, experienced, qualified and certified Security Crime Prevention/ CPTED Consultant are highly recommended for objective and credible security review integrity.
This review does not guarantee a crime will never occur; it is an effort to mitigate opportunities for crime and to help avoid any present and future security deficiencies, conflicts, or liabilities that might occur without any review.
CPTED Landscaping Standards
a. Ensure to design out all landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to Natural or Electronic Surveillance.
b. Ensure to design out existing or potential concealment/ ambush points to deter/ prevent criminal activity.
c. Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants and ground cover.
d. Maintain an 8'' foot clear trunk without any obstructive limbs or foliage hanging down for canopy trees and tall plants that obstruct Natural &/ or Electronic Surveillance.
e. Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition per code.
Doors, Windows, Overhangs, Fences, Etc. - Security Strengthening, Natural Surveillance and Access Control
a. Install either reinforced security see through glass hurricane doors, a see-through reinforced security window on a solid door, an audible/ video intercom pager, or at the minimum a 180 degree wide angle door viewer (peephole) on all solid exterior doors including garage, service doors, etc., to provide opportunity to monitor and surveil exterior and also to avoid being ambushed upon exiting. This also provides an opportunity to visually identify and screen visitors in the event of an attempted criminal ruse entry.
Burglar Alarms/ Security Alarms/ Safes - Mechanical Security Strengthening (INDICATE IN CPTED NARRATIVE)
a. Burglar/ Security Alarms/ Safes must be installed at any property including commercial retail businesses and residential management offices, or wherever valuables of any kind such as money, jewelry, costly inventory, etc., including potentially sensitive or personal or business identification documents, electronic files or financial information is stored. Alarms must be activated whenever businesses are closed or all personnel are out of the building offices.
Dumpster & Enclosure (if any): CPTED, Natural Surveillance and Security Strengthening

b. A robust locking mechanism such as a throw bolt with a robust shielded padlock for example rather than only a vulnerable chain and padlock.
c. Bottom gate clearances must be 8” above the ground for viewing underneath.
d. If there is a pedestrian passageway into the dumpster enclosure it must have the lockable gate.
e. Dumpster area must have a vandal resistant/ proof motion-sensor security light to illuminate the area when in use between sunset and sunrise.
f. Dumpster areas must be secured with Access Control and video surveillance.
Parking Garage & Lot, and Adjacent Access Perimeters:
a. Parking garages and lots have one of the highest crime rates therefore the following facts must be thoroughly acknowledged and addressed:
b. Vehicles have been burglarized in parking lots leading to significant property loss and the theft of personal identification which has resulted in identity theft fraud, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist (see Electronic Surveillance Section).
c. Violent Robbery incidents, primarily in parking lots, have resulted in serious personal injuries and death to both residents, guests, customers and employees, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist.
d. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture
e. . Show overlapping sight “cones”.
f. All cameras most recorded at all times
g. All recordings must saved for at least for 4 months or more and be available to polices at all times
h . all cameras most cover parking Lots, dumpster area, an all building sides and rear structure walls to the property perimeter.
I, Enroll in the Rear Time Crime Program due to the inordinate number of calls for services
Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening
a. Ensure all exterior electrical power outlets have a lock or power secure internal cutoff switch to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to charge their mobile phones, etc.
b. Ensure all exterior water outlet spigots have a secure locking cap to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to wash themselves and their clothes, and who leave soiled clothing and lots of litter behind.
c. Any blind areas not covered by security cameras including interior hallways of the resident housing for example must install corner security mirrors to assist in visibility around blind spot corners to deter/ prevent concealment/ ambush opportunities.

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING
Plan Reviewer: Beth Dubow | Beth.Dubow@copbfl.com
Status: Review Complete Resubmittal Required
REVIEW COMPLETED; RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED
1. A minimum turning radius of 35 feet (inside) and a maximum radius of 50 feet (outside) are needed for the garbage trucks to maneuver on this site. While there appears to be ample room for a truck to access the garbage dumpster on the adjacent property, it should be relocated and/or angled. Although it is not part of this site plan, please provide a sketch demonstrating the location and angle of the dumpster. NOTE: A dumpster enclosure may be required by other DRC disciplines.
2. Depending on the location and orientation of the dumpster, a garbage truck driver may be able to maneuver the truck using the parking lot drive aisle for backing up and exiting the site. This would be preferable, as the truck turn around appears to be in conflict with the landscape/drainage area.
NOTE: Owners of this commercial property are responsible for securing garbage collection service directly from Waste Management, Inc.
NOTE: Recycling collection is not required, but it is encouraged. Recycling collection service may be obtained from a recovered materials hauler.
NOTE: As stated in the Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances, Chapter 96, including Section 96.12(D)(1), all construction and demolition debris removal is the responsibility of the owner. All solid waste generated within the geographic boundaries of Pompano Beach shall be collected by the franchise collector (Waste Management at the time of this writing) and disposed of as directed by the city disposal agreement. All materials shall be generated from the property on which the materials are placed for removal. Information regarding container size and hauling costs may be found in Chapter 96, Section 96.13.
NOTE: Additional comments may be necessary based upon revisions, additional plans and/or documents. Contact Beth Dubow at 954-545-7047 or beth.dubow@copbfl.com should you have any questions or concerns regarding this review.
PLEASE NOTE: Applications that require resubmission to the DRC have 45 days from the time of original DRC meeting in which to resubmit. Applications that fail to be resubmitted before the completion of these 45 days, or fail to receive a time extension from the Development Services Director, shall be considered withdrawn (§155.2304.B).
