Initials _____
SIGN FULL NAME: ____________________
***THE CPTED & SECURITY STRENGTHENING CONDITIONS STATED BELOW MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR CPTED PLAN (ON BOTH THE DRAWING PAGE & NARRATIVE DOCUMENT) FOR APPROVAL: ***
1. Territorial Reinforcement and Access Control - Trespass, Wayfinding, Ground Rules & Other Signage
a. Submit a Broward Sheriff''s Office No Trespass Program Affidavit simultaneously with the application.
b. Post sufficient “Broward Sheriff’s Office No Trespass” signage so that it is readily available at all entrances and all sides of the property: North, South, East, and West.
c. Post BSO Trespass signs prominently with bottom edge of sign at approximately a minimum of 6’ foot height from ground level for clear unobstructed viewing throughout property and from the site perimeter lines. Secure robustly using sturdy fasteners at all corners to help prevent vandalism.
d. Property Rule signage language must be clear and prominently posted in appropriate areas listing clear policies and regulations regarding authorized legitimate activities and/ or unauthorized prohibited activities on the property. This helps to prevent, deter and/ or reduce disturbances and/ or violations that would otherwise occur and lead to avoidable and unnecessary calls for police response.
e. Way-Finding signage must be clear and prominently posted in appropriate areas indicating safe directional travel routes to warn and avoid users from getting confused and wandering into potentially unsafe and dangerous areas that might expose them to increased safety and security risks.
f. The property address number signage should be prominently displayed, unobstructed by landscaping or external features, provide good color contrast, be visible from the roadway, preferably be reflective &/or illuminated for instant recognition by law enforcement & EMS when responding to emergency calls for service.
2: Territorial Reinforcement - Landscaping
a. Design in dense, low-profile and/ or harsh thorny-like non-obstructive (maximum height 2’ to 2.5’ feet) landscaping in any vulnerable areas such as under windows, around fencing or walls, remote property lines, etc., as a deterrent to loitering, trespassing and to deny any concealed staging and ambush opportunity for potential more serious criminal activity such as burglary, robbery, sexual crimes, etc. Do not place hedges or plants too close to fences or walls so that it obstructs Natural Surveillance and results in providing concealment/ ambush opportunities.
3. CPTED Lighting Standards
a. Lighting must comply with the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America “IESNA” G-1-2022 “Guide for Security Lighting for People, Property, and Critical Infrastructure.”
b. All Structures: Install vandal proof/ resistant motion-sensor security alert lights over all exterior unit doors and overhangs (if any), including main, garage, storage doors, storage sheds (if any), etc. Security motion sensors are very effective in capturing an intrusion and creating the perception by the intruder of being discovered, therefore these should be utilized in strategically targeted areas after careful consideration, especially with regards to any building design feature area that has an overhang or obstructive feature that would attract loiterers, trespassers, thieves, burglars, robbers, etc., who may use these areas for concealment, sleeping, urinating, or ambush in the case of more serious crimes such as burglary, robbery, sexual battery, etc.
c. Security lighting should usually be primarily concentrated at gateways, doorways & windows; it should not over-illuminate or create shadows.
d. To enhance security, use carefully focused bright soft lights with shielded fixtures to eliminate glare and undesirable light pollution trespass. (Please note that LED lighting is recommended as it provides excellent color rendition for nighttime visibility.)
e. Design out any potential landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to natural or mechanical lighting and surveillance.
f. Ensure lighting placement will enhance rather than conflict with camera placement. Avoid placing a light that would concentrate light directly into a camera lens thereby causing interference in operational efficiency.
4. Security Strengthening, Natural Surveillance and Access Control - Doors, Windows, Overhangs, Perimeter Fences and Walls, Etc.
a. For Commercial & Industrial, all solid exterior doors must have a see-through reinforced security window, or an audible/ video intercom pager including service doors, garage, or bay doors (if any), etc. This feature provides an opportunity to monitor and surveil the exterior prior to exiting 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 such as by a fake Delivery Driver, UPS/ FEDEX, Utility Worker, etc. Criminal incidents of theft, burglaries and robberies can have very deadly consequences, so strategically planning and designing defenses ahead of time to prevent or deter these incidents is vital for safety and security.
b. All exterior doors must have non-removable door hinge pins, and it is recommended to include the capacity for electronic door position switches to signal a security alarm system that a door, which should not have been opened, has been opened and breached. Occupants or the alarm company will then investigate and/ or address any emergency accordingly.
c. Fences, gates and / or any exterior ground level architectural abstract design features should not have easily accessible horizontal bars that could be used to facilitate climbing over and breaching any security fencing. Use narrow spacing between vertical bars to prevent providing footholds.
d. Solid walls, specifically those used as perimeter / privacy boundaries, should not have a flat top and should be designed with an angled, beveled, curved or otherwise shaped top to deter easy climbing over which is a potential trespassing/ breaching vulnerability, and/ or to deter sitting and loitering upon which could also be a potential fall and injury hazard. Signage prohibiting trespass or sitting upon walls should be included in the design as necessary.
e. Solid walls that are low to the ground (knee high) & used as symbolic barriers should have a topside shape to prevent the potential for misuse, damages &/or vandalism inflicted by skateboarding, rollerblading, bicycling, etc. Examples of such shapes include, but are not limited to angled, curved, ridged, beveled &/or incorporated with cleats, intermittent spacing or other architectural design to dissuade such unauthorized activity.
f. Include anti-pry robust security bar device on any ground or second level sliding glass doors (if any).
g. Incorporated traffic calming devices where necessary to protect pedestrians, employees & to prevent excessive vehicle speed.
5. Security Strengthening - Burglar Security Alarms/ Safes - Physical & Mechanical Security Strengthening
a. For Commercial and Industrial: Install hard wired burglar security alarms and safes at any commercial property, retail businesses and residential management offices, and/ or wherever valuables of any kind are stored such as cash, jewelry, electronic equipment such as computers, monitors, and any other costly inventory, including potentially sensitive or personal or business identification documents, electronic files or financial information etc., that are frequently targets of theft, frauds, burglaries and robberies. Alarms must be monitored and activated whenever businesses are closed, or all personnel are out of the building offices.
b. For Commercial and Industrial: Burglary / Intrusion / Sensor alarms must be activated whenever the business is closed, or all authorized personnel are out of the business.
c. For Commercial including COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL/ Hotels/ Retail/ Multi-Family with Security/ Front Desk Receptionists / Hosts (if any): Install a fixed concealed silent panic duress alarm at main entrance AND a portable lanyard for redundancy in the event the fixed alarm is compromised due to the fixed alarm post being vacant, or for any serious incident such as an active killer or other emergency. Additional portable duress alarm activators must be provided to employees that are assigned to work on the exterior of business such as drive-thru lanes, curbside service, exterior dining, etc.
d. For Commercial including COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL/ Hotels/ Retail/ Multi-Family with Security/ Front Desk Receptionists / Hosts (if any): Areas designated for employee & customer transactions such as a reception desk, counter tops &/or bar should be designed with a clear delineation &/or enclosure separating public from private areas. The purpose is to protect employees & to deter the accidental or intentional trespass into a restricted area & to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to property, valuables, sensitive equipment, etc. This also provides a greater sense of security for employees utilizing the space.
6. Dumpster & Enclosure (if any): CPTED, Natural Surveillance and Security Strengthening
a. To deter loitering by trespassers, illegal dumping and a concealment/ ambush point for criminals, dumpster enclosures that also have a pedestrian access entry passageway in addition to swing gates must include all the following on both the swing and pedestrian gates:
b. A robust locking mechanism such as a throw bolt with a robust shielded padlock for example rather than only a vulnerable chain and non-shielded padlock.
c. Bottom gate clearances must be 8” above the ground for viewing underneath to deter loitering and trespassing inside the enclosures, and to deter/ prevent the enclosure from being used as concealment/ ambush for a more serious crime such as a violent robbery, sexual assault/ battery, etc.
d. If there is a pedestrian passageway into the dumpster enclosure it must have the lockable gate which remains closed and locked except when in active use by authorized persons.
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.
7. Key Security: Access Control and Security Strengthening (For businesses with numerous keys on site such as residential or commercial management offices, warehouses with numerous vehicles, trucks, etc., valuable assets on site including equipment, tools, supplies, etc., property management offices, realtors, car dealerships, restaurants, valets, etc.)
a. Describe access key control security system - general description only, such as Mechanical, Electrical. Biometric, etc
b. Key security office/ room/ key storage closet door must have an alarm and robust mechanical locking system.
c. A surveillance camera must monitor the office key storage area.
d. Management office door must have a security viewer (door scope /peephole) or reinforced security window.
8. Parking Garage &/ or Lot, and Adjacent Access Egress and Perimeters:
Parking garages and lots have one of the highest crime rates therefore the following facts must be thoroughly acknowledged and addressed:
a. An Access Control vehicular gate entrance into the parking garage / development will deter and help prevent trespass opportunities. These entrances must be under video surveillance.
b. If vehicle access control gates, please describe how they will operate ie: manual, electronic, etc.
c. (Multi-residential or commercial office only) Parking spaces should be clearly and individually marked and assigned for owners/ authorized guests use only. (In the case of a retail, restaurant or like business this is optional)
d. (Multi-residential or commercial only) Post signage in parking areas forbidding vehicles other than owner''s/ authorized guests to park and loiter in private parking lot.
e. (Multi-residential or commercial only) Post towing sign and enforce tow away policy consistently concerning illegally parked or abandoned vehicles
f. Install sufficient sidewalk safety aisles in front of the parked cars to protect pedestrians from dangerously having to walk behind other parked cars that may be backing up, and from having to risk walking dangerously in conflict with the car travel lanes.
9. Graffiti Maintenance - CPTED
a. Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Family Residential exterior wall surfaces along the building perimeter must be treated with a graffiti resistant resin up to 8 feet to prevent vandalism. Graffiti vandalism is chronic these days and therefore becomes very expensive to repeatedly address. It leads to unsightly blight conditions, and often also costly Code Enforcement violations, therefore incorporating it into the project beforehand is financially strategic and vital to project sustainability.
10. Electronic Surveillance - Security Strengthening
*** ATTENTION *** PROPOSED CAMERA AND MONITORING LOCATIONS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH A SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL CONSULTANT AND THE BROWARD SHERIFF’S OFFICE CPTED REVIEWER *** PRIOR *** TO PERMITTING. PLANNING AND INSTALLATION OF THE SURVEILLANCE MONITORING SYSTEM MUST INCLUDE FIELD INPUT FROM EXPERIENCED CPTED/ SECURITY STRENGTHENING LAW-ENFORCEMENT TO ENSURE OPTIMAL RESULTS.
a. Required to meet § 115.26 - City of Pompano Beach BUSINESS SECURITY CODE: “... use security cameras to protect employees and the consumer public from robbery, burglary and other violent crimes.”
b. Ensure electronic surveillance cameras and monitors are strategically located for maximum active and passive observation. Show sight “cones” indicating comprehensive coverage.
Monitors must be strategically located for maximum overlapping active and passive observation. Placement in strategic locations is to increase surveillance and reporting of suspicious or illegal activity including dangerous incidents. Large monitors are recommended for optimal viewing. They should be placed strategically wherever they would receive the most viewing from personnel traffic such as at the manager’s office, front desk, lobbies, etc.
c. Ensure all cameras are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing or installation of future landscaping.
d. Ensure lighting placement will enhance rather than conflict with camera placement. Avoid placing a light that would concentrate light directly into a camera lens thereby causing interference in operational efficiency.
e. Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be observed through Natural Surveillance must be covered by electronic surveillance monitoring.
f. Install video surveillance of any rooftop areas, etc., to deter/ prevent rooftop burglaries which occur in commercial businesses that are in areas of generally lower late dark hour operations or pedestrian/ vehicle traffic that would otherwise act as a Natural Surveillance deterrent.
12. Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening
a.

1. This project is being reviewed as a Minor Site Plan and Major Building Design.
2. Any code section that a variance is requested for must be approved by the ZBA prior to this site plan going in front of the AAC or the PZB.
3. Comment not addressed: Revise the location map uploaded in the DRC Documents folder to outline all subject parcels. There is only one property ID on this map but the project contains 7 parcels.
4. Clarify why a new survey was added that states there is a 5’ easement to the City along the west side. This should be a dedication with the property lines revised accordingly, not an easement. Either revise the survey to remove this easement or provide evidence of this 5’ easement documentation.
5. Revise the survey to show all easements on all 7 parcels. The current survey states that it was not abstracted for any easements other recorded encumbrances. We know there are ROW easements on the northern parcels in the process to be abandoned, show all easements on the survey.
6. Each row of parking shall have a maximum of 10 spaces with a landscape island on either side of the row. Revise the parking rows with 11 spaces on the south side of the site. The survey shows there is currently only 10 spaces per row.
7. Comment not addressed: Revise the property lines of the site plan to exclude the required 5’ ROW dedication. This should be outside of the property lines. The setbacks shall then be shown from the new property line. Unless approval from the City Engineer is obtained, a ROW easement is not sufficient. Update the west side setback on both the drawing and the data table.
8. Comment not addressed: label all elements on the site plan including but not limited to awnings, canopies, pedestrian walkways, screen walls, water features, fencing etc. Call out the boxes between the southern building and the existing parking to the south, is this landscaping? Call out the non-stripped area just beyond the existing building to the west - sidewalk? Provide different patterns to identify different types of areas (landscape, sidewalks, asphalt, etc).
9. Comment not addressed: Call out all setbacks on the site plan drawing from the closest building point to the property line (rear, front, interior side, and street side). The dimensions provided on the site data table do not appear to be accurate. Revise this chart per the setbacks found on the drawing.
10. On the site plan data table, provide the maximum lot coverage percentage permitted (60%), AKA the building coverage.
11. There are only 8 parking spaces in the northwest corner of the site. Revise the count in the circle from 9 to 8 on the site plan.
12. Comment not addressed, note that undergrounding utilities will not interfere with the trees. Discuss with Wade. All overhead utilities located on the development site and/or along the public right-of-way fronting the development site shall be placed underground per Code section 155.5509. Revise the note to say all existing and proposed utilities will be placed underground, not just the new ones. This note is still shown on sheet 006 TT-100 as well and sheet EX-001 Fire Truck Circulation Plan.
13. Comment not addressed: All parking shall be double striped, per 155.5102.C. Identify this on the site plan or provide a note on the plan.
14. Provide a continuous curb for the parking spaces along the south of the new building. These are required parking spaces, not loading zones.
15. On the site plan, provide the width of all sidewalks on site. Walkways shall be at least 7’ wide. Update detail #1 on the site plan details sheet to show a 7’ sidewalk, not 5’.
16. Comment not addressed: Revise so there are some bike racks located at the front entrances of each building for customer use in addition to the rear location that can be used by employees (155.5102.L.2).
17. Comment not addressed: The Vehicular Use Area (VUA) perimeter buffer shall be at least 10’ wide per Code section 155.5203.D.3.c. The buffer along the west property line does not meet this requirement (post dedication). Revise the layout.
18. Comment not addressed: Provide a detail of the dumpster enclosure. It shall meet the requirements of Code section 155.5301.C.
19. Comment not addressed: light pole locations on the site plan and landscape plans do not match locations on the photometric plan. Revise so all plans are consistent. Confirm on the landscape plan that all light poles are at least 15’ from any tree.
20. Light fixtures within 200’ of a residential zoning district shall not exceed 20’ in height (155.5401). Revise the lighting standard detail #2 on the photometric plan to show a maximum height of 20’, not 24’.
21. Comment not addressed, call out the measurement from grade to the top of the roof deck. Revise the elevations to measure the height from the average elevation of the existing finished grade to the top of the roof deck per Code section 155.9401.G.
22. Comment not addressed: Provide screening of off-street loading and service areas, per Section 155.5301.B, Screening of Off-Street Loading and Service Areas. All off-street loading areas and services areas shall be located and designed to reduce the adverse visual and acoustic impacts of their use on adjacent streets and properties. Exterior off-street loading and service areas shall be screened from view from adjacent streets and properties by durable, sight-obscuring walls, fences, and/or dense continuous hedges that are at least six feet in height. Screen the proposed loading area of the new building from view from NW 23rd Ave with bushes as previously discussed.
23. Comment not addressed: The building square footage on the floor plan does not match the rest of the submittal. The floor plan says the new building will be 22,487 SF but the other plans say 21,492 SF. Make all plans consistent.
24. Per the residential compatibility standards (155.5604.C.4.b), off-street surface parking areas located adjacent to single-family residential development shall be screened by a type C perimeter buffer in accordance with Section 155.5203.F, Perimeter Buffers. Provide a note on the landscape plane stating there will be a type C buffer on the north side.
25. Comment not addressed: update detail #5 on the site plan details sheet to show an 8’ wall, not a 6’ wall.
26. The canopies shown on the roof plan do not match the size or location of the canopies shown on the elevations. Revise so all plans are consistent.
27. Provide a note on the roof plan stating all surfaces will be painted white, per the applicant’s sustainability narrative.
28. The south façade of the proposed building does not provide any windows therefore you cannot use the south facing overhangs as points for the sustainability requirement. Revise your sustainability narrative to achieve 12 points.
29. Provide an 11’’x17’’ material board with actual material and color samples prior to submittal to the AAC.
30. Standard comments prior to building permit approval:
a. The 6 northern parcels are subject to commercial Flex Allocation, ROW abandonment, and Rezoning approval prior to permit approval.
b. All parcels included in this project shall be unified as one prior to building permit approval. Submit this application to the City of Pompano Beach. This application should be reviewed by the City before going to the County.
c. 5’ of Right-of-Way is required to be dedicated to the City along NW 23 Ave prior to building permit approval. Unless approval from the City Engineer is obtained, a ROW easement is not sufficient.
d. This property is required to obtain a Master Sign Program per Code section 155.2416. This shall be submitted as a separate submittal to the Architectural Appearance Committee.
e. The Major Administrative Adjustment for the parking reduction must be approved by the PZB and submitted with the building permit submittal.
