Comments requiring action from the Applicant:
-The property is not platted. The proposed redevelopment may require platting. Confirm if the Applicant will seek to plat the property, or request a platting determination letter from the Broward County Planning Council confirming the platting requirements.
Notes / No Action Necessary:
-Land use for this parcel is Commercial (C). The proposed uses listed on the site plan include a convenience store (1,890 square feet) and gas station (16 pumps). The proposed uses are listed as permitted in this land use category.
-The property is abuts North Course Drive . The survey indicates that there is an existing 40 feet of right-of-way measured to the centerline of the North Course Drive and the total width of the right-of-way is provided f. This right-of-way has dedicated sufficient property to comply with the requirements in Chapter 100 (as far as the dimension to the centerline of the road).
-The property is abuts South Pompano Parkway (AKA: Powerline Road). The survey indicates that there is an existing 67 feet of right-of-way measured to the centerline of Pompano Parkway (AKA: Powerline Road), but the total width of the right-of-way is not provided for Powerline Road. The requirements in Chapter 100.01 is 144 feet total width of the right-of-way for Powerline Road. Additionally, this roadway is also identified on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. The Trafficways Plan & Chapter 100.01 both require a minimum of 144 feet, but the Trafficways Plan acknowledge that this area has irregular measurements. An additional 5 foot dedication is required along this roadway, as noted on the site plan.

6. Prior to the approval of the City Engineering division, the City’s Planning and Zoning Division must approve these plans.
7. The City of Pompano Beach Engineering Division requires that all COPB underground utility infrastructure located within public rights-of-way or utility easements be shown on all proposed site plans and civil engineering plans that are submitted for plan review and plan approval. Please contact City Engineering Division’s GIS Coordinator Tracy Wynn to obtain all City utility infrastructure information to be placed on your proposed site plan and civil engineering plans. Tracey may be reached at 954-545-7007 or tracy.wynn@copbfl.com .
8. Show on landscape plans the location of all existing City owned and maintained potable water mains and services, sanitary sewer mains or laterals and storm drainage lines on the proposed landscape plans. Contact the Engineering Div. for Utility information. Engineering Standard street tree detail 316-1.
9. Upload the 2022 City Engineering standard details for the proposed off-site water and sewer connections. These detail drawing may be obtained in pdf format from the City''''s website www.pompanobeachfl.gov under departments /engineering.
10. Show truncated warning dome mats on the proposed off-site sidewalk where it intersects with driveways and public roadways on N. Course Dr. Place proposed COPB sidewalk warning dome mat construction detail drawing on the plans. Detail 318-1 ADA detectable warning mats.
11. Clarify if you are using the existing water meter or if you are taping the watermain for a new 1" service and meter.
12. Please note on civil plan sheet 012 C4.0 that any existing water and/or sewer connection to the subject lots not utilized must be cut and capped at the water main if a water service and cut out and sleeved if a sewer lateral. Sewer Laterals that are cut and capped will need to be as-built per our engineering as-built standards.
How to retire old laterals
If the existing main is clay pipe and has a CIPP liner currently installed. (Install a sectional liner in the main over the old lateral thus eliminating the lateral)
If the existing main is clay pipe. (Dig down cut old clay pipe, sleeve back in with PVC and city approved couplings)
If the existing main is clay pipe and you are required to retire multiple laterals for a project. (It may be cheaper for the contractor to install a city approved CIPP liner from manhole to manhole and not cut out the laterals that they are retiring)
If the existing main is PVC pipe. (Remove the lateral pipe from the PVC Wye fitting and install a plug into the Wye. Install a green locating marking ball at the lateral locating, no deeper than 4 ft. below grade)
13. Plan Sheet 012 C4.0 needs to show the sewer lateral connection to the city sewer main and show the proposed 1” meter connecting to the city water main.
PLEASE PROVIDE A NARRATIVE RESPONSE TO THESE REVIEW COMMENTS (IF APPLICABLE), SEE MARKUPS (IF REFERENCED) AND CLEARLY SHOW CHANGES ON PLANS USING CLOUDED DETAILS AND DELTA REVISION MARKS AS NECESSARY.

*** ATTENTION IMPORTANT ***
The services of an independent, and highly experienced, qualified and certified Security Crime Prevention/ CPTED Consultant are highly recommended to achieve and maintain objective credible security review integrity, and to expedite processing.
*** DISCLAIMER ***
This safety and security 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, threats, breaches, or liabilities that might occur without any review.
*** ATTENTION IMPORTANT ***
AS PER CODE 155.2407.E.9., AT THE TIME OF PERMIT SUBMITTAL, THE CPTED SECURITY STRENGTHENING DRAWING PLAN AND SEPARATE CPTED SECURITY STRENGTHENING DRAWING PLAN NARRATIVE SHALL BOTH BE SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANNING & ZONING REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
***ATTENTION IMPORTANT***
Participation in the BSO No Trespassing Program is required. If this site is already on the program, then additional signage may be necessary along with an updated affidavit signed by authorized personnel. Please contact the BSO Pompano Beach C.P.T.E.D Advisor regarding placement of the No Trespass Signs.
***ATTENTION IMPORTANT ***
155.2407.E(9) Site Plan Review Standards
Complies with crime prevention **Security Strengthening and CPTED Standards**, this requires both to be addressed. Security cameras help deter and protect property and persons from theft, burglary, robbery, and other violent crimes.”
***PLEASE NOTE***
ALL OF THE BELOW CPTED CONDITIONS & SECURITY STRENGTHENING PRINCIPLES MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR CPTED NARRATIVE DOCUMENT AS WELL AS YOUR CPTED DRAWING PLAN FOR APPROVAL.
ADDITIONALLY, THE AUTHOR OF YOUR CPTED NARRARIVE SHOULD PROVIDE THEIR NAME & CONTACT INFORMATION ON THE DOCUMENT. THIS WOULD HELP TO EXPEDITE ANY NECESSARY COMMUNICATION.
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.
2. CPTED Landscaping Standards
2A: Natural Surveillance - Landscaping
a. Ensure to design out all landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to Natural or Electronic Surveillance which frequently occurs due to a lack of CPTED/ Security Strengthening planning and design experience in this specialized field.
b. Ensure to design out existing or potential concealment and ambush points to deter/ prevent criminal activity. Again, planning and design experience in this area is vital.
c. Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants, and ground cover.
d. Maintain an 8’- feet clear tree trunk for canopy trees and tall plants without any obstructive limbs or foliage hanging down below 8'' feet that would in the present or future obstruct Natural &/ or Electronic Surveillance.
e. Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition ONLY WHILE MATURING per code,
2B: 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. Must include a comprehensive detailed description in Narrative Plan of how CPTED lighting standards will be addressed at this specific site.
b. Lighting must comply with the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America “IESNA” G-1-2016 “Guide for Security Lighting for People, Property, and Critical Infrastructure.”
c. 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.
d. Security lighting should usually be primarily concentrated at gateways, doorways & windows; it should not over-illuminate or create shadows.
e. To enhance security, use carefully focused bright soft lights with shielded fixtures to eliminate glare and undesirable light pollution trespass.
f. Adequate soft lighting is preferable to high intensity "spotlights" so as not to ‘blind’ desirable users and make them prone to surprise hazards such as an ambush. With soft bright lighting the field of vision is greatly extended.
g. Design out any potential landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to natural or mechanical lighting and surveillance.
h. Ensure all lighting (and cameras) are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing, or installation of future landscaping.
i. 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. Any existing or future fencing anywhere on the site should be CPTED oriented such as metal rail bars with ‘see-through’ spacing to maintain critical Natural Surveillance. Note that hollow aluminum is weak and is easily bent/ pried to facilitate climbing through so steel is much preferred.
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 & 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. Do not block the Natural Surveillance benefit of CPTED ‘see-through’ fencing by placing high obstructive objects, landscaping hedges or groundcover placed closely on either side of it. Any landscaping in front of fencing should be low ground cover with a maximum height of 2’ to 2.5’ feet, preferably use harsh Territorial Reinforcement type landscaping to strengthen the fence perimeter Access Control barrier.
g. 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.
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/ 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.
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, avoid specific location of key storage safe.
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 (peephole) or reinforced security window.
8. Parking Garage &/ or Lot, and Adjacent Access Egress and 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 customers and employees, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist.
d. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture. Show overlapping sight “cones”.
e. (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.
f. (Multi-residential or commercial only) Post towing sign and enforce tow away policy consistently concerning illegally parked or abandoned vehicles.
g. 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. M.O. 155.2407.E AND M.O. 115.26 Site Plan Review Standards:
Development complies with Crime Prevention ***Security Strengthening - includes Mechanical and Electronic Security*** AND CPTED standards, this requires BOTH to be addressed including Electronic Surveillance. Security cameras help deter and protect property and persons from theft, burglary, robbery, and other violent crimes.”
b. Install video surveillance of all private and commercial residential including all apartments, townhomes, condominiums, gated communities, motels, hotels, etc., all commercial wholesale and retail businesses including restaurants, shopping plazas, gas stations, entertainment businesses, etc., industrial developments, buildings, etc.
c. 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.
d. Ensure all cameras are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing or installation of future landscaping.
e. 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.
f. Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along and into the building perimeters.
g. Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be observed through Natural Surveillance must be covered by electronic surveillance monitoring.
h. Ensure video surveillance at all exterior building entrances. Include an audible/ video intercom and call system for example at main entrance.
i. Install motion activated security cameras up to and at the perimeter boundaries, the parking areas, and activity areas such as any exterior amenity areas to deter criminal activities such as burglary, vandalism, auto-theft, robbery, sexual assault & battery, etc.
11. Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening
a. Ensure all publicly accessible exterior electrical power outlets have a lock or (although both preferred) power nearby easily accessible secure internal cutoff switch to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who may be attracted to the property’s amenities and/ or vulnerabilities, and then trespass and loiter to charge their mobile phones, etc., or commit other crimes of opportunity once they’re on site.
b. Ensure all publicly accessible exterior water outlet spigots have a nearby easily accessible secure locking cap to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc., who may be attracted to the property’s amenities and/ or vulnerabilities, and then who frequently trespass and loiter to wash themselves and their clothes, who frequently leave soiled clothing and lots of litter behind or commit other crimes of opportunity once they’re on site.
c. Any blind areas not covered by security cameras, including shared interior hallways of the resident housing for example, must have corner / convex security mirrors installed to assist in visibility around blind spot corners to deter/ prevent concealment/ ambush opportunities.
d. 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 stored for criminal investigation. This information must be readily available in the event of a theft or burglary to help law enforcement investigators to quickly track and recover the stolen items. The equipment must be secured robustly to deter/ prevent theft.
e. Place bike storage racks (if any) close to the main access doors providing convenience and maximum Natural and Electronic Security Surveillance.
f. Install anti-vehicular impact traffic safety bollards and/ or large heavy, preferably lighted, planters along street front pedestrian entrance and exit areas to prevent serious vehicle intrusion accidents/ incidents.
g. If the building/ development has a Wi-Fi system, it needs to be encrypted and password protected. An open Wi-Fi system will attract non-legitimate users to loiter and use the open free Wi-Fi.
h. Elevator (if any) - Access Controlled by 1st floor FOB, include blind spot convex mirrors and electronic surveillance and a panic button.
i. Any exterior storage tanks utilized for keeping contents under pressure and / or containing any flammable or hazardous contents must be properly secured against any acts of vandalism, theft or misuse of any kind. Only use fire code approved security systems / mechanisms.
12. Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening - Restaurants / Retail Businesses
There is a good reason for including monitors regarding comprehensive safety and security and I will do my best to explain why.
Employee theft, it’s a huge problem in the restaurant / retail business. Not all staff or the public should have viewable access to ALL camera feeds displayed on the recommended viewable monitor. It’s exactly for this reason, rampant employee theft, that it’s essential to implement tried and tested industry security methods to ensure the restaurant, its staff, customers, and neighbors don’t become victims of crimes such as property theft or worse, violent assaults or robberies.
Security monitors have proven to be a common security equipment deterrent application to crime demonstrated through their widespread use in many of the largest businesses including restaurants throughout the world. The use of viewable monitors qualifies as an effective CPTED strategy, therefore here are a few points to mention for careful consideration:
a. Video surveillance shown as “IN USE” in and of itself can be a powerful crime deterrent
b. Viewable monitors placed in a central area show outward evidence to all that video surveillance is in use facility wide BROADCASTING clearly that crimes will be discovered, and recordings used as evidence for arrest and full prosecution
c. Viewable monitors make it plainly obvious that the area, its valuables, its employees, its customers (potential victims or sometimes would be thieves - as in running out on their bills which is becoming more common), are all being watched over for the safety and security of everyone and their valuables
d. A viewable monitor should display what’s going on at the rear door area as businesses with multiple doors should ensure that not all these doors are always accessible to any and everyone at any time. Back and side doors to and from the kitchen, storage room, and offices should normally remain locked and secured. Leaving a back door open or unlocked is inviting trouble. Except for an employee needing to go in and out for a specific task, it creates a readily available obvious opportunity for employees to discreetly slip out of the building with money or restaurant property. Furthermore, it also makes it all too easy for a thief or potentially dangerous subject to quickly enter the restaurant and steal or assault those inside. Effectively restricting access through the side rear door will keep staff and everyone safer and deter theft. Staff must be trained and reminded to keep the door closed and locked and not to leave it propped open inadvertently inviting thieves inside. Of course, it goes without saying, a quick release exit handle must be included on the inside of the door and a buzzer should be activated on the door whenever it’s opened.
e. Camera feeds that are to remain off limits to staff for internal security reasons, etc., do not have to be displayed on the viewable monitor but can be viewed on any other secure monitor or device from anywhere, and that should suffice to satisfy the concerns of management regarding viewable monitors. Those secure recordings can be viewed regularly or as necessary.
12. Business Security Ordinance: Natural and Electronic Surveillance. If the business or any of the tenants will operate a late night business, then compliance with this in detail in the Development Review CPTED/Security Strengthening Narrative and Drawing submissions for review.
Describe in Drawing and Narrative Plans:
(1) Video or security camera system: Every Late-Hours Business shall maintain a video or security camera system that is capable of monitoring, recording and retrieving a clear and identifiable image to assist law enforcement personnel in offender identification and apprehension. Said system shall comply with all of the following standards:
a. Be in operation at all times;
b. Be readily viewable and accessible by employees;
c. At least one camera recording the interior of the business;
d. At least one camera recording any parking areas, (cameras must cover entire parking area up to the perimeter); and
e. All recordings must be retained and available to police for a period of 72 hours from the date of recording;
(2). (If applicable) All window signage provided at Late-Hours Businesses must allow a clear and unobstructed view from the outside of the building and in a normal line of sight of the cash register and sales transaction area.
Provide the following on NARRATIVE PLANS:
a. Operational hours in writing.
b. Comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture. Show sight “cones”.
c. (If applicable) (Commercial/ Retail/ Etc. Businesses) Clear sightline to cash register/ sales counter area from exterior Show sightline path.
d. (If applicable) (Commercial/ Retail/ Etc. Businesses) Avoid sightline obstructive tall inventory stacking and shelving that blocks Natural and/ or Electronic Surveillance.
e. (Commercial/ Retail/ Etc. Businesses) Entry lobby area cannot be blocked by inventory display or storage as this is area is used for emergency egress by fire and law enforcement. Also, any displays or storage of inventory stock obstructs clear sightline paths and provides concealment/ ambush opportunities for crimes such as retail theft and robbery.
f. (Gas Station / Convenience Stores) Cashier operation area should be slightly elevated above ground level. This will increase visibility for employees working at the cashier station & provides a greater sense of security for legitimate users.
g. Pay Phones (if any) should be located outside, away from the building & in clear view from cashier station.
h. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs if any) located inside the business should be in clear view of the cashier station, however the ATM itself should not be located next to the main customer entry door as this could increase the possibility of theft & robbery.
i. An audible alert device should be attached to the main customer entry door to alert employees of customers entering &/or exiting.
j. Ensure measuring tape is attached to the main customer entry door frame to accurately record the height of potential suspects.
i. Provide an Emergency Access Method/ System to Law Enforcement in the event of a law enforcement/ criminal incident, or medical emergency (police often arrive before fire rescue) inside the facility.

1. This is being reviewed as a Minor Site Plan with Building Design. The narrative provided discusses University Drive and “gateway design criteria”, neither of which are related to the City of Pompano Beach. Additionally, the narrative states you are applying for a “conditional use application”, this is a Site Plan application. Finally, the narrative is addressed to the City of Plantation. Revise the narrative accordingly.
2. The Plat uploaded with this submittal is not related to the subject property, but rather next door to it. The subject property does not have a recorded plat. Coordinate with the DRC coordinator to remove this sheet from the submittal.
3. Provide the dedication paperwork for the 5’ of ROW, per the proposal on the site plan, prior to building permit approval. This will be a separate submittal from the site plan and can be emailed to me directly.
4. Per table 155.5401.E: Minimum and Maximum Illumination Levels, the maximum illumination at the property line, measured at five feet above ground level, shall be 3.0 foot-candles. Revise the foot-candles along all sides of the property.
5. Provide a survey that has been abstracted for any easements of record. This survey specifically says it was not abstracted for easements.
6. Provide a dotted outline for one car space (9’x18’) located at either side of each pump. A two-way drive aisle is required to be at least 24’ wide and a one-way drive aisle shall be at least 12’ wide, per 155.5101.G.7.a. A two-way drive aisle will not fit on either side of the canopy. Either redesign or revise to show that these areas will only be one-way.
7. All parking spaces shall contain a continuous curb per 155.5102.C.9. The vehicular overhang area shall be no more than 2½ feet wide and shall not be credited toward any required sidewalk (7’) or landscape areas. Revise the parking to show this continuous curb (provide a call out on the site plan) and a dotted line showing the 2’ overhang (16’ length with a 2’ overhang = the required 18’ length).
8. Provide the net square footage of the lot, post dedication. All calculations shall be based off this number (pervious area, lot/building coverage, etc.).
9. Revise the provided “max building coverage” number on the zoning information table on the site plan to include the canopy and covered walkway area and relabel this section to be the “total lot coverage”. Lot coverage is the total foot print SF of all roofed structures.
10. Provide the pervious calculations on the site plan zoning chart. A property within the B-3 zoning district shall have a minimum of 20% pervious area.
11. All changes made to this zoning information chart shall also be reflected on the landscape plan as it is duplicated on that plan.
12. The site plan indicates that the required rear setback is not being met (10’ proposed, 30’ required). Because the north and east property lines are the same width, either side can be considered the front for setback purposes. Revise the “zoning information” chart and all elevations to be renamed in order to classify the east side as the front and the west side as the rear in order to comply with the required setbacks.
13. Provide two “front setback” measurements. One to the convenience store building and the other to the canopy. As mentioned, the “front” should be called out as the east side.
14. The elevations of the building do not include a legend for the call outs. Revise these sheets to include a legend that identifies all materials/colors and what the letters in the circles represent. Show the height of the building measured from the average elevation of the existing finished grade (not the finished floor elevation) at the front of the structure to the top of the roof for a flat roof, per 155.9401.G. Call out that the measurement is from grade.
15. Show the proposed pergola on the elevations. Call out the proposed height.
16. Provide elevations (both black/white and colored) of the proposed gas pump canopy and the long covered walkway structure. Call out all proposed colors and materials.
17. On the canopy elevations clarify that the measurement is being measured from the average finished grade (not the finished floor elevation). The canopy shall have a maximum height of 16’ (155.4303.E).
18. Code section 155.4303.E.3 requires compliance with the following additional design standards for a canopy accessory to a gasoline filling station:
ii. Canopy Support Design. The colors, materials, and architectural details of the canopy supports shall match that of the principal building. The canopy supports shall be covered with decorative cladding of material that is consistent with the architectural treatment of the principal building's facade.
19. Provide the dimension of all pathways/sidewalks on the site plan. They shall be at least 7’ wide, not including the required vehicle overhang (155.5101.H.3 / 155.5101.I.3).
20. Provide a note on the site plan stating the diagonal pathways will be painted as shown. Increase the size of these pathways to 7’ wide. Provide the dimensions on the site plan.
21. All parking areas containing more than ten parking spaces shall provide bicycle racks or lockers sufficient to accommodate the parking of at least four bicycles for each ten parking spaces, or major fraction thereof, above ten spaces-provided that no more than 20 bicycle parking spaces shall be required in any one parking area (155.5102.L.1). Provide the total number of proposed bike parking spaces on the site plan zoning table. There shall be at least 4 bike spaces.
22. The parking detail provided on the site plan does not match the City Engineering approved detail. Remove and replace with the City’s detail.
23. Wheel stops are not permitted with the exception for handicapped spaces and standard parking spaces shall be 9’x18’ (16’ in length with a 2’ overhang over the curb).
24. The parking table, 155.5102.D.1, requires 2 spaces plus 1 per pump for gas stations (18 spaces total). Additionally, a convenience store requires 1 space per 300 SF (7 spaces total, rounding up). Therefore, a total of 25 parking spaces are required. In addition to the typical parking spaces out front, one space at the pump can count towards this requirement. The current proposal is deficient by 2 spaces. Revise the parking chart to include the proper calculations and provide 2 additional parking spaces on site.
25. Per Code section 155.5102.K.1, the Development Services Director may authorize up to a 15 percent reduction in the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by Table 155.5102.D.1, Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces, for uses located within 1,000 feet of a bus or rapid transit stop. A 10% reduction of the required 25 spaces allows for a reduction of 2 spaces. Provide a separate narrative that requests this deviation and its justification.
26. There is currently no mechanical equipment rendered on the site plan. Clarify where this will be located. Any ground floor mechanical equipment must be at least 3 feet from the property line and screened with either a solid fence or dense landscaping per 155.5301.A. 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. Note that mechanical equipment is not permitted to be placed in front of the principal structure. If on the roof, show the outline of the equipment on the elevations to show that the parapet will screen it.
27. Provide an elevation/detail of the proposed dumpster enclosure with all material and color callouts. The enclosure shall meet the design standards of section 155.5301.C.
28. This project must be the requirements of Code Section 155.5602. Commercial, Institutional, And Mixed-Use Design Standards:
a. The front facade of all buildings, as defined by the primary entrance, shall front onto a street, a courtyard, or plaza , not an off-street surface parking area. In the case of corner lots, the primary entrance shall face the street from which the building derives its street address. Nothing shall prohibit a secondary entrance from facing a surface parking area. All single-building developments shall be configured with the long axis of the building parallel to the street it fronts, or be consistent with existing development patterns, rather than being sited at unconventional angles.
b. All single-building developments shall be configured with the long axis of the building parallel to the street it fronts.
c. Street-facing front building facades that are greater than 60 feet wide shall be articulated with wall offsets (e.g., projections or recesses in the facade plane) that are at least one foot deep, at least ten feet wide, and spaced no more than 40 feet apart. On the elevations, provide the width of each façade and the distance between each off-set.
d. The following alternatives can be used alone or in combination as an alternative to the required front facade offsets:
i. Changes in facade color or material that follow the same dimensional standards as the offset requirements;
ii. Columns or pilasters that are at least eight inches deep and at least eight inches wide, and have a height equal to at least 80 percent of the facade's height;
iii. Roofline changes that vertically align with a corresponding wall offset or change in facade color or material, including changes in roof planes and changes in the height of a parapet wall (such as extending the top of pilasters above the top of the parapet wall); or
iv. Awnings or other shading devices over doors and windows that follow the same dimensional standards as the offset requirements.
e. The street-facing side facades of buildings shall be articulated with the same facade details as provided on the building's front facade, or be screened from off-site views through fences, walls, or landscaping at least eight feet high.
f. At least 30 percent of the street-facing facade area of the ground-level floor of buildings (as measured from the grade to the underside of the eave , top of the parapet, or the story line denoting the second floor) shall be occupied by windows or doorways (155.5602.C.7). Provide the fenestration calculations on the elevations. All ground-level windows on street-facing facades shall be transparent. Mirrored or heavily-tinted glass that prevents views into the building is prohibited on street-facing front building facades.
g. Flat roofs on principal buildings shall be concealed by parapet walls that extend at least three feet above the roof level and have three-dimensional cornice treatments that project at least eight inches outward from the parapet facade plane (155.5602.C.8). Provide the measurement from the roof to the top of the parapet.
29. The type B buffer to the west has the 6’ wall on the property line instead of in the middle between trees, revise per Table 155.5203.F.3: Required Buffer Types And Standards. Note that underground footers for walls are not permitted to encroach into the neighboring property.
