-A platting determination letter from the Broward County Planning Council, confirms that replatting is not required, but defers to Broward County Planning & Development Management Division as to whether or not a plat note would be required for this prior to approval. The plat was restricted to 23,293 square feet of industrial use; however, the survey notes that the building footprint is 24,573 square feet. If a portion of the building will be demolished, such that the total building area will be less than 22,293 square feet, than no additional action is required; however, if the building will exceed 23,293 the Applicant must provide a letter from Broward County Planning & Development Management Division advising if a plat note will be required.
-Land use for this parcel is Industrial, the zoning is I-1 (General Industrial). Warehouses & offices (as noted on the site plan) are listed as permitted uses in this zoning district.
-The property is accessed from NW 12 Avenue, and access is now shared between the two property owners where the right-of-way was vacated by Ordinance 93-51 (utility easement was retained). No additional right-of-way is required.

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
: Natural Surveillance
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.
Parking Lot, and Adjacent Access Perimeters:
a. Parking lots have one of the highest crime rates therefore the following facts must be thoroughly acknowledged and addressed:
b. Explain how this mixed use development which includes residential housing, commercial office, retail spaces, etc., will securely operate the parking garage &/ or lot Access Control systems to avoid allowing non-legitimate unauthorized users and dangerous trespassers from breaching inside private property to burglarize, steal cars, commit robberies, sexual assaults & batteries, etc.
c. 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).
d. 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.
e. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture. Show overlapping sight “cones”.

LANDSCAPE REVIEW
Wade Collum | wade.collum@copbfl.com <mailto:wade.collum@copbfl.com>
Review Complete Pending Development Order
NOTE: P&Z #20-12000038. This is to accompany Bldg. Permit # 20-3307
1. Please revisit and clarify the required Type C Perimeter Buffers cross section as it is confusing as to tree locations and counts as well as wall locations per 155.5203.F.3.
2. Provide the previously approved landscape plan for this site.
3. Please update landscape plan to match the previously approved plan for the balance of the site. There appears to still be missing landscape islands and tree locations.
4. Please dilute the number of Green Buttonwoods and propose an additional large canopy tree species to dilute.
5. What is the large ‘dead space’ area between the West perimeter and the Heavy Equipment Area? If this area is not being used it can become pervious area with sod and trees to dissuade the storage of material.
6. All tree work will require permitting by a registered Broward County Tree Trimmer.
7. Provide a comment response sheet as to specifically how comments have been addressed at time of resubmittal.
8. Additional comments may be rendered a time of resubmittal.

Review Complete Pending Development Order
1. A type C perimeter buffer shall be provided along all perimeters of the site (155.4226.G). This type of buffers requires an opaque masonry wall at least 8’ tall with landscaping on either side of the wall (155.5203.F.3). The steel pickets illustrated on the plans are not an “opaque masonry wall,” and must be revised for all sides except the for the east property line per the approved CPTED waiver.
2. The site data table on the site plan mentions there is one loading space but it is not illustrated on the plan. Identify the one loading space area on the site plan. This space shall be a minimum of 12’x55’ (155.5102.M.2). The loading area shall be located adjacent to the building''s loading doors, in an area that promotes its practical use. The site plan shows a Heavy Equipment Display Area in the practical location for the loading space. Clarify how the trucks will access the loading space and the overhead doors at the rear of the building.
3. Provide the dimensions of the landscape buffers along the east and south property lines for clarification purposes.
4. The dead space between the west property landscape buffer and the designated Heavy Equipment Display and Storage area is not to be used for any equipment or storage. Additionally, this area does not provide for access to any other part of the property. Extend the landscaping to meet the edge of the designated display and storage area rather than leave it as pavement.
5. Some key information was changed on the site data table on the site plan. The Land Use Designation for this property is Industrial. The proposed use of the property is Heavy Equipment Establishment. These two things are not the same. Revise the table to state the correct land use designation and proposed use of the property.
6. Provide the height in feet on the site data table, not in stories.
7. The photometric plan must show the foot candles along the south and west property lines. Revise this plan to show this information in addition to what is currently shown. The minimum compliance is at least 1.0 foot-candle in the vehicular use area and a maximum of 3.0 foot-candles at the property line (155.5401.E).
8. How will Waste Management access the proposed dumpster? The current proposal has access to the dumpster blocked with storage. Show on the site plan the access route for the Waste Management trucks.
9. An easement agreement sign off by all agencies will be required at time of building permit to place the wall in the 6’ utility easement.
SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING
Beth Dubow | beth.dubow@copbfl.com <mailto:beth.dubow@copbfl.com>
Review Complete Resubmittal Required
1. Locating the trash enclosure behind the proposed outdoor storage is unacceptable. A garbage truck cannot access the dumpster if it is blocked by items in the storage area.
2. A 40-foot non-obstructed approach for a garbage truck to the dumpster enclosure is required. It is suggested to move the dumpster to the north a few feet outside of the storage area and in line with the drive aisle. This will eliminate the possibility of the landscaped island getting run over, and it will give a garbage truck easy access and maneuverability.
NOTE: Owners of this commercial property are responsible for securing garbage collection service directly from Waste Management, Inc.
NOTE: Installation of bollards to protect the walls of the enclosure from the rolling dumpster is highly suggested.
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.
