2.                     Right-of-way dedication(s) will be required. The ultimate right-of-way width of NW 7 Ave is 50 feet (see Engineering Department DRC comment #1). Provide a dimension from the centerline of NW 7 Ave to the edge of the right-of-way on both sides, and revise the plans as necessary to depict the PROPOSED right-of-way line by providing the required 25-foot right-of-way width on both sides of the centerline. Dedications will be a condition of the Development Order and will be required to be finalized prior to permit approval.

3.                     The MLK right-of-way parcel remains on the General Information table on sheet A-001. Revise the table by removing the parcel as it is public right-of-way and is not within the developable area of the project site.

4.                     On the East Parcel, the maximum allowable front setback for a Flex Building Type in the Edge Sub-Area is 20 feet. The Site Plan depicts a 25-foot front setback. Revise the plans to provide no more than 20 feet for the front setback.

5.                     Density is calculated on the POST-RIGHT-OF-WAY-DEDICATION parcel size. Revise the Density calculations on sheet A-005 to provide the correct calculations and density not to exceed 18 by-right units per acre and 10 bonus units per acre.

6.                     The same bonus, public art, cannot be used for both the Height bonus and the Density bonus unless two separate pieces of artwork and/or two separate contributions are made, both in compliance with the option requirements. If artwork will be provided, indicate the on-site location of the two pieces of artwork.

7.                     The Pervious Area calculations must be POST-DEDICATION of right-of-way.

Note that the municipal ordinance absolutely requires additional special conditions to be met for any late-night business, therefore all development projects, new & retrofit, must include the required conditions for a late-night business to legally open & operate. If a development project is authorized & completed without including all the late-night business safety & security conditions, it cannot open after the fact until all the required conditions are first met which may result in much more additional costly & disruptive retrofit construction alterations, etc. Opening any Late-Night Business without meeting the conditions in the law may also result in additional statutory penalties.

***THE CPTED & SECURITY STRENGTHENING CONDITIONS STATED BELOW MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR CPTED NARRATIVE PLAN & ONTO YOUR CPTED DRAWING DIAGRAM FOR APPROVAL: ***

A1. Natural Surveillance (Lighting)

1.) 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.”

2.) Pedestrian scale lighting must be incorporated for designated pedestrian paths of travel. Such pathways can include, but are not limited to: sidewalks, exterior shopping centers, parking lots, walking paths for recreational use, etc.

A2. Natural Surveillance - Security Strengthening

1.) For Commercial & Industrial, all solid exterior doors must have a see-through reinforced security window, or an audible/ video intercom pager system including service doors, garage, or bay doors (if any), etc.
Goal: To provide 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 cause extreme financial loss & may also have deadly consequences, so strategically planning and designing defenses ahead of time to prevent or deter these incidents is vital for safety and security.

2.) Designated ADA access ramps are to utilize see through fence railing for improved natural surveillance.
Purpose: Solid walls and/ or other raised/ elevated obstructive design element features such as walkways, promenades, ramps, whether ADA compliant or not, etc., are discouraged as they hinder visibility, may encourage trespassing & provide concealment for other types of criminal activity i.e.: loitering, vandalism (graffiti), narcotic use, ambush attack, etc., and result in higher maintenance costs.

3.) For Commercial, Industrial & Multifamily, exterior stairwell risers (if any) should be of a see-through design.
Goal: To enhance Natural Surveillance & to prevent the underside of the stairwell from being used as place for criminal activity, concealment, ambush attack as well as to deter trespass & loitering.

A3. 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.

B. Access Control - Security Strengthening

1.) Wayfinding & Instructional Signage must be prominently displayed & posted where necessary.
Examples of signage can include, but are not limited to: Main Entrance, Emergency Exit, Private Property, Restricted Access, Employees Only, No Admittance, No Trespassing, Visitor / Guest Parking, One Way Traffic, No Thru Traffic, Pedestrian Crossing, Hours of Operation, Rules & Regulations, Do Not Enter, Maximum Occupancy, Evacuation Route, etc.

2.) 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.

3.) Include anti-pry robust security bar device on any ground & second level sliding glass doors (if any).

4.) For Commercial and Industrial: Install hard-wired burglar security alarms at any commercial property, retail businesses and residential management offices.

5.) 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.

6.) For Commercial including COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL / 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, podium, &/or bar must be designed with a clear boundary delineation &/or enclosure separating public from private areas. Examples would be appropriate signage and a physical barrier such as a door, or at least a stanchion with a chain or rope delineating the private non-public area as off-limits.
Purpose: To deter the accidental or intentional trespass into a restricted area, to protect employees & to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to property, valuables, sensitive equipment, etc. Also, to signal an early alert to employees if someone unauthorized is attempting to breach the private non-public area so they can buy time to quickly get to safety and alert security/ police for help.

7.) For Residential, install hard wired burglar security alarms, or at the minimum prewire each residential unit for burglar alarms as residential units are often targets of thefts, frauds, burglaries, robberies, etc. Note that Wi-Fi alarm signals can be jammed with easily obtainable equipment thereby leaving properties vulnerable to burglaries without any alarm protection. Safes for valuables such as cash and/ or other important items including firearms, etc., are also strongly recommended.

B1. Access Control - Security Strengthening for Dumpster Enclosures / Trash Rooms

1.) To deter loitering by trespassers, illegal dumping and a concealment / ambush point for criminals, dumpster enclosures with rolling or swing gates, including those that also have a designated pedestrian entry passageway, must include all the following for both the swing and pedestrian gates:

2.). 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.

3.) Bottom gate clearances must be 8” above the ground.
Purpose: 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.

4.) 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.

5.) Dumpster area must have a vandal resistant/ proof motion-sensor security light to illuminate the area when in use between sunset and sunrise.

7.) Enclosed trash rooms must be equipped with either constant lighting &/or a secured motion sensor lighting system that will provide immediate illumination upon entry.

B2. Access Control - Security Strengthening for Key Control & Management Offices

1.) Any keys, key fobs, key card devices &/or similar devices that are stored on site must be secured with access control such as, but not limited to: Mechanical, Electronic Control, Biometric, etc. Electronic key signals can be cloned (copied) so keys must be stored in a signal blocking locked safe.

2.) Key security office / room / key storage closet door must have an alarm and robust mechanical locking system.

3.) A surveillance camera must monitor the office key storage area.

4.) Management office door must have a security viewer (door scope / peephole) or reinforced security window.

C. Territorial Reinforcements - Security Strengthening

1.) Post BSO No Trespass signs prominently with bottom edge of sign at approximately a minimum of 6’ to 7’ feet in 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.

2.) 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.
Goal: To prevent, deter and/ or reduce disturbances and/ or violations that would otherwise occur and lead to avoidable and unnecessary calls for police response.

3.) Solid walls and elevated platform features used in design elements, 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.

4.) Solid walls that are low to the ground (knee high for example) & used as symbolic barriers or security 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 can include, but are not limited to angled, curved, ridged, beveled &/or incorporated with cleats, intermittent spacing or other architectural design to dissuade unauthorized activity.

C1. Security Strengthening - Parking Lots / Parking Garages / Covered Parking

1.) Install sufficient sidewalk safety aisles (non-mountable curbs) 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.

2.) (Only if applicable) Use highly reflective light color paint for covered parking areas &/or multi-level parking garages to increase the overall amount of natural & artificial light

3.) Install convex security mirrors to increase visibility around blind corners, ramps & any points of intersection between vehicle lanes of travel & pedestrian pathways.

4.) Vehicle parking lots & garages that exit onto the public roadway must have multiple traffic control indicators strategically placed to advise exiting vehicles to use caution before entering the right-of-way. Examples of such indicators can be, but are not limited to: Stop signs, Stop Bar pavement markings, an illuminated Stop sign, flashing red light, rumble strips, signage indicating to watch for vehicles, bicyclists & pedestrians, etc.

5.) For developments using electronic vehicle access control gates, please explain how your project will deter / prevent tailgating (aka “piggybacking”) by unauthorized users attempting to gain access into a private / restricted area without permission.
(One possible solution would be a secondary vehicle access control gate arm in conjunction with access control gates with a proper time setting to only allow entry for one vehicle at a time.)

6.) (Commercial, Industrial, Multi-family) Per Broward County Fire Code, All New & Existing automatic vehicle entry gates shall be equipped with the Click 2 Enter (C2E) Universal Access System thereby providing Fire Rescue & Law Enforcement the ability to immediate access the site.

D. Maintenance & Management - Security Strengthening

1.) For Commercial including COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL/ RESIDENTIAL/ Hotels/ Multi-Family with Security/ Front Desk Receptionists / Hosts (if any): Install a fixed concealed silent panic duress alarm at main entrance AND a provide a portable activator 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, maintenance, etc.

2.) 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.
Purpose: Graffiti vandalism occurs frequently and therefore becomes very expensive to repeatedly address. It leads to unsightly blight conditions & can sometimes be associated with gang activity. It can also incur costly Code Enforcement violations, therefore incorporating it into the project beforehand is financially strategic and vital to project sustainability.

3.) Costly equipment such as ground floor exterior air conditioning units (if any) must be clearly and permanently marked with serial numbers and images of equipment and serial numbers stored for criminal investigation.
Purpose: Having this information readily available in the event of a theft or burglary aids law enforcement investigators to quickly track and recover the stolen items. The equipment must be secured robustly to deter/ prevent theft.

E. Activity Support - Security Strengthening

1.) Thorough criminal background checks should be completed for all full-time & part-time employees as well as volunteers, especially for any positions involving access to juveniles, sensitive information & the handling of money.

2.) Conduct / Provide routine training opportunities for all employees regarding lifesaving skills (A.E.D., First Aid Kit, Stop the Bleed Kit, Fire Extinguisher Operation) & procedures for emergency events & de-escalation techniques.

3.) For Commercial / Industrial / Retail / Multiple Unit Dwellings: light weight exterior furniture that is not permanently secured to the ground & designated for public use should be marked & identifiable as belonging to that development. Additionally, said furniture items should be securely stored when not needed &/or the site is closed to the public.
Purpose: To deter acts of theft & to properly identify such items if stolen and located off site.
