Status: Authorized with Conditions
1. Land use for this parcel is Residential (M- Medium Residential 10-16 DU/AC), the zoning for this property is RM-20. Based on the survey, the size of this property is approximately .25 net acres (11,086 square feet); resulting in approximately 4 units (permitted by the land use). The applicant is proposing 4 units, in compliance with the maximum density restricted by the zoning.
2. The site data table does not provide a breakdown of the units, the resubmitted plans must provide a detail of the total number of units by unit type (i.e. identify the number of units by bedroom count: X number of 3 bedrooms, X number of 4 bedrooms, etc.). Based on the floor plans, it appears as though there are four 2-bedroom units.
3. The property was platted in 1926 (FAIRVIEW - PB: 10 Pg. 25). Based on Broward County Administrative Rules 4.3, it appears that it would be exempt from platting/replatting. Provide a letter from the Broward County Planning Council confirming that the propose development does not require platting/replatting for the proposed development.

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.
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. Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants, and ground cover.
c. 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.
d. Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from the above 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. 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.
b. To enhance security, use carefully focused bright soft lights with shielded fixtures to eliminate glare and undesirable light pollution trespass.
c. 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.
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.
4. Security Strengthening, Natural Surveillance and Access Control - Doors, Windows, Overhangs, Perimeter Fences and Walls, Etc.
a. All solid exterior doors must have a see-through reinforced security window or at the minimum a 180-degree wide angle door viewer (peephole). 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, (if any) 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 (if any) 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.
h. Include anti-pry robust security bar device on any ground or second level sliding glass doors (if any).
5. Security Strengthening - Burglar Security Alarms/ Safes - Physical & Mechanical Security Strengthening
a. 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. Safes are also strongly recommended.
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. 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. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture. Show overlapping sight “cones”.
c. Post signage in parking areas forbidding vehicles other than owner's/ authorized guests to park and loiter in private parking lot.
d. Post towing sign and enforce tow away policy consistently concerning illegally parked or abandoned vehicles.
8. 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.
9. 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. 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, entertainment businesses, etc., industrial developments, buildings, etc.
b. Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along and into the building perimeters.
10. 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. 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.
d. Place bike storage racks (if any) close to the main access doors providing convenience and maximum Natural and Electronic Security Surveillance.
e. 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.
f. Elevator (if any) - Access Controlled by 1st floor FOB, include blind spot convex mirrors and electronic surveillance and panic button.
