FIRE DEPARTMENT
Jim Galloway | Jim.Galloway@copbfl.com
Status: Resubmittal Required
1. Submit site/civil plans showing the location of existing or proposed water mains (including size) and fire hydrants in the area. Refer to NFPA 1 2018 Chapter 18 for required fire flow, minimum number of hydrants, and spacing.
2. Provide Required Fire Flow Data for each proposed structure (this flow will either be the total flow required for a non-fire sprinklered building or the fire sprinkler/standpipe demands): Fire flow calculations are determined from square footage and construction type of structure. Refer to NFPA 1 chapter 18 for required fire flow, number/spacing of fire hydrants. Depending on the hydrant flow test results additional fire protection systems or change in construction type maybe required for project (NFPA 1 2021 ed chapter 18). This information must be provided at DRC to evaluate current water supply conditions.
City of Pompano requires a minimum of 2 fire hydrants. Maximum distance to secondary fire hydrant is 400ft of any future building. Distance is measured by fire apparatus travel on access roadways. (COPFL ORD. 95.09(C)) Complete attached form “Water Supply Fire Flow”. Document located in the E-files folders of e-Plan.
3. Provide a Hydrant Flow Test to determine the available water supply to this project. This test must be performed by a qualified company of the builder’s choice. In addition, the static pressure at the water main shall be determined by a recorded method (ie. water wheel) for a minimum twenty-four (24) hour period. The actual flow test must be witnessed by, and recorded data sent to City of Pompano Beach Fire Prevention.

4. Provide a detailed comments response for staff review.
5. Additional comments may be rendered upon re-submittal.
ZONING
Jonathan Cady | Jonathan.Cady@copbfl.com
Status: Resubmittal Required
1. Provide a written response to all comments. (Info Only).
2. Please provide a detailed project narrative describing the intent of the proposed Major Site Plan. The narrative should clearly explain the overall scope of the project, including what is being proposed, the type of development or improvements involved, how the site will be used once completed, and any other relevant details that help clarify the purpose and function of the project.
3. A variance will be required for the proposed extension of the nonconforming interior side setback of 0.64 feet. This variance must be submitted and approved prior to Development Review Committee (DRC) approval.
Please note: If the variance is not approved, the proposed design will need to be revised to comply with code requirements, which will significantly change the current plans.
4. Warehouse parking should be 1 per 750 sq ft for the first 3,000 sq ft of floor area, then 1 per 2,500 sq ft for additional floor area. Update the parking data table to reflect this by adding an extra column for the 1 per 2,500 sq ft after the first 3,000 sq ft of floor area is calculated for parking.
5. Change Proposed Building Height to Building height in the Site Data table. (Sheet LP-2). As the table already has three separate columns that identify the Required, Existing, and Provided/Proposed.
6. A landscaped area shall be provided between a vehicular use area and an abutting building in accordance with the following standards, no landscaped area is required along those parts of an abutting building entrances, driveways into garages or carport, or loading docks. (Sec. 155.5203.D).
a. Although landscaped areas are not required along building entrances, driveways into garages or carports, or loading docks, the rear entrance of the building provides additional space where landscaping can be added between the vehicular use area and the building. Staff strongly recommends incorporating additional landscaping in this area to enhance safety and reduce the risk of vehicle impacts to the building. (Info Only).
7. In all zoning districts, fences using barbed, razor, or concertina wire and aboveground electrified fences shall be prohibited unless allowed through an approved security plan (See Section 155.5302.D.1.b.iv, Security Plan Fences and Walls.) (Info Only).
8. Gated driveways require a minimum of 3 stacking spaces measured from the gate, except for gates that remain completely open during business hours.
a. Please revise the gate location so that all three proposed stacking spaces are located entirely within the property line.
9. Provide a fence detail sheet showing the material height measurement, etc. This fence detail sheet should also include information on materials, height, measurements, and other relevant specifications.
10. Staff strongly encourages that the entrance driveway from SW 12th Avenue be modified to comply with the minimum width requirement of 23 feet. This could be achieved by relocating the landscape island further down to accommodate the necessary changes. Additionally, extending the landscape island would help ensure compliance with Section 155.5203.D.4., as there is sufficient space to implement these adjustments. (Info Only).
11. Provide a Photometrics plan that complies with Section 155.5401.E.
a. Per Section 155.5401.E., the minimum illumination allowed in the vehicle use area is 1.0 foot-candle. Also, 3.0 foot-candles is the maximum illumination level allowed at the property line. The photometric plan shows the entrance vehicle use area along the property line to be 0.1 foot-candle. Update the photometric plan to ensure this area complies with the illumination level regulation.
12. Provide a narrative explaining how the proposed project complies with the Industrial Design Standards outlined in Section 155.5603. Any required changes must be reflected in the plans.
13. Provide a narrative explaining how the project complies with the Sustainable Standards outlined in Section 155.5802. Any required changes must be reflected in the plans.
a. Although the sustainable narrative format is correct, the number of sustainable points proposed is not sufficient for the intended use. Per Section 155.5802.a.3, Nonresidential and mixed-use development in all other districts shall achieve at least 12 points. The total of your proposed sustainable points is 10 points. Add another sustainable development option to aid you in compliance with this regulation. Ensure that this sustainable proposal is reflected in all plans.
14. Mechanical equipment mounted on the roof of a building shall be screened by a parapet wall, roof screen, or similar device of a height equal to or exceeding the height of the mechanical equipment being screened, unless exempted by Section 2 (155.5301.A.2. Exemptions). The following are the conditions that apply for exemptions:
b. If it is determined that the mechanical equipment is not visible from a street or at the ground level of a non-industrial zoning district new or existing industrial development, within an Industrial zoning, then the roof-mounted mechanical equipment does not need to be screened on a building, if any of the following conditions apply:
i. the building elevation faces another building on the same lot
ii. ii. the rear building elevation faces nonbuildable properties (example of a nonbuildable property includes a railroad track, a water body, or similar properties).
If you intend to seek an exemption, ensure it is clearly indicated on the plans and supported by a valid justification. For example, you may include elevation drawings demonstrating that the rooftop mechanical equipment is not visible from the ground.
15. Staff strongly recommends installing bollards in front of the entrance to the new addition building to help prevent potential vehicle collisions and enhance pedestrian safety. (Info Only).
16. Please provide additional details on the elevation plan. Include a table showing the type of materials and colors (manufacturer name and number) used in each building section. This will help staff confirm that the design meets applicable standards.
17. Please note that additional comments may be provided based on your next submittal, especially if revisions reveal items that were not previously reviewed or addressed. (Info Only).
18. Provide a hatch on the Site Plan to indicate the location of the proposed overhang. This is to ensure that the overhang does not encroach on the proposed parking space adjacent to it. Refer to the CPTED Public Safety Plan, as it is already shown on this plan.
19. Please be aware that the Architectural Appearance Committee (AAC) may have additional requirements depending on the design presented at the AAC meeting. (Info Only).
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).
