***Important Please Read***
The CPTED Narrative & the CPTED Drawing Diagram should be synonymous. Please incorporate all the above stated CPTED & Security Strengthening measures onto your existing CPTED Drawing Diagram & CPTED Narrative Document when re-submitting into the Pompano E-Plan.
A. Natural Surveillance (Landscaping)
1.) Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants, and ground cover.
Goal: Increase visibility & deter concealment.
2.) 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. (Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition ONLY WHILE MATURING per code.)
Goal: Increase visibility, improve line of sight & prevent obstructions to electronic surveillance & pedestrian scale lighting.
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.) Security lighting should be primarily concentrated at gateways, doorways & windows; it should not over-illuminate or create shadows.
3.) 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.) 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 SHERIFFS 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 PROVIDE OPTIONS TO CONSIDER TO AID IN ENSURING OPTIMAL RESULTS.
1.) Electronic surveillance cameras must be strategically located for maximum active and passive observation.
2.) Surveillance Monitors depicting real time security camera views must be strategically located for maximum overlapping active and passive observation.
3.) Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along and up to the building perimeters.
4.) Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be observed through Natural Surveillance must be covered by electronic surveillance monitoring. Such areas can include, but are not limited to: meeting rooms, workout / exercise rooms, employee breakrooms, customer waiting rooms, interior & exterior common areas, etc.
5.) Designated vehicle parking areas have one of the highest crime rates therefore security video surveillance coverage must be comprehensive with overlapping sight cones & ensuring there will be no gaps in coverage.
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.) For Commercial and Industrial: Install hard-wired burglar security / intruder alarms. Alarms must be monitored and activated whenever businesses are closed, or all personnel are out of the building offices.
4.) 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.
5.) 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 & is easily bent/ pried to facilitate climbing through so steel is much preferred. Horizontal bars are NOT preferred as they can used to facilitate easy climbing & breaching into restricted areas.
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 inches 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.
6.)Dumpster areas must be secured with Access Control and video surveillance.
7.) Enclosed trash rooms (if any) 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 / Security Office door must have a security viewer (door scope / peephole) or reinforced security window.
C. Territorial Reinforcements - Security Strengthening
*** ATTENTION ***
BSO NO TRESPASSING SIGNAGE IS TO BE COORDINATED WITH A BROWARD SHERIFF’S OFFICE CPTED REVIEWER *** PRIOR *** TO PERMENANT PLACEMENT OF THE SIGNS. THIS IS TO ENSURE OPTIMAL RESULTS.
1.) Submit a Broward Sheriff's Office No Trespass Program Affidavit simultaneously with the application.
2.) 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. Please note additional signage may be necessary depending on the size & layout of your development.
3.) 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.
4.) Solid walls (if any) 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.
C1. Security Strengthening - Parking Lots / Parking Garages / Covered Parking
1.) An Access Control vehicular gate entrance into the parking garage / development will deter and help prevent trespass opportunities. These entrances must be under video surveillance.
2.) For developments using controlled vehicle access, please explain what type of access control measures will be utilized.
Examples of vehicle access control: electronic vehicle access control gates or manually operated security gates.
3) Per Broward County Fire Prevention 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.
4.) Post signage in parking areas forbidding vehicles other than owner's/ authorized guests to park and loiter in private parking lot.
5.) Post towing sign and enforce tow away policy consistently concerning illegally parked or abandoned vehicles.
6.) Incorporate traffic calming devices, including bollards and rumble strips, to protect pedestrians, employees & to prevent excessive vehicle speed, especially in areas where doorways, pedestrian passageways, exits open directly into the vehicle lanes of travel, this includes inside enclosed garages.
7.) 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, Enter & Exit Signage, Flashing Red Light, Rumble Strips, signage indicating to watch for vehicles, bicyclists & pedestrians, etc.
D. Maintenance & Management - Security Strengthening
1.) For Commercial including COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL/ RESIDENTIAL/ Hotels/ Multi-Family / Offices, etc. 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.) Ensure all publicly accessible exterior electrical power outlets have a lockable metal cover AND easily accessible secure internal cutoff switch.
Goal: To deter theft of utility services & deny use by potential trespassers, unauthorized users, 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.
3.) Ensure all publicly accessible exterior water outlet spigots have a nearby easily accessible secure locking cap.
Goal: To deter theft of utility services & deny use by potential trespassers, unauthorized users, 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.
4.) Costly equipment such as ground floor exterior air conditioning units (if any) must be firmly secured in place to deter theft. Options to consider are Metal Strap Tie Downs, Secured Enclosures &/or Sensor Equipment, etc. Serial numbers & photos of such equipment must be stored & readily available for possible criminal or property damage reports.
5.) Security / Convex mirrors must be incorporated into areas with limited visibility that are not covered by security surveillance cameras & considered to be potential points of concealment, ambush &/or extreme safety concern.
Purpose: To provide the legitimate user with increased visibility in areas such as, but not limited to lengthy intersecting hallways, alleys, parking garages, vehicle entry / exit points to the public right of way, blind corners, elevators, retail shopping isles, etc.
6.) The number address signage must be unobstructed by landscaping or external features, provide good color contrast, be visible from the roadway & preferably be reflective for instant recognition by law enforcement & EMS when responding to emergency calls for service.
E. Activity Support - Security Strengthening
1.) If the building/ development has a Wi-Fi system, it needs to be encrypted and password protected. If Wi-Fi is offered as a complimentary service by a business, then it should be disabled when the business is closed to the public.
Purpose: An open Wi-Fi system will attract non-legitimate users to loiter and use the open free Wi-Fi.
2.) Exterior bench seating (if any) for public use should be CPTED orientated to include spacers / dividers / arm rests or preferably use a single seat design.
Purpose: To deter unintended excessive loitering, trespassing, lying down, sleeping, etc thereby depriving legitimate users to ability to utilize the designated seating.
3.) Public, Visitor &/or Common Use Restrooms, Storage Rooms Locker Rooms, Saunas (if any) must be equipped with either constant lighting &/or a secured motion sensor lighting system that will provide immediate illumination upon entry.
4.) Single use public restrooms must have access door locking hardware that will display to a potential user if the restroom is Vacant or In Use.

4. Per Section 155.9401.(G), The height of a structure shall be determined by measuring the vertical distance from the average elevation of the existing finished grade at the front of the structure to the top of the roof for a flat roof, to the deck line for a mansard roof, or to the mean height between eaves and ridge for a gable, hip, cone, gambrel, or shed roof. Ensure the elevation plan and how the elevation is measured comply with this. The height measurement should begin from the average elevation of the existing finished grade at the front of the structure.
5. Per the Broward County Trafficways plan, N Andrews Ave is dedicated to be 110'. Provide dedication of your site to ensure N Andrews Ave complies with the county's trafficways plan. If already provided, ensure that the measurement is included on the site plan. Also, label the Center Line on the site plan.
6. Include the Lot Coverage and Impervious/Pervious calculation on the Site Data Table. Please note that the canopy area should be included within the lot coverage.
7. Based on the Broward County Trafficways Plan, Andrews Avenue is classified as an arterial road requiring a 110-foot right-of-way. Please show the centerline (CL) on the site plan to determine whether a right-of-way dedication is required. It appears to be in accordance with the survey and the plat.
8. Per Section 155.5102.D.1., Warehousing and Freight Movement uses require one parking space per 750 square feet for the first 3,000 square feet of floor area, and one parking space per 2,500 square feet for any additional floor area. The Site Data Table on the Site Plan does not apply these parking requirements correctly. Please update the table to reflect the accurate parking calculations based on the proposed use.
9. The submitted site plan is overly crowded with callouts and dimensions, making it difficult to read. Please remove any unnecessary notes, callouts, and dimensions so that the plan is clear, legible, and easy to interpret.
10. Provide the mounting height of the proposed light poles. The maximum height for lighting fixtures within 200 feet of a residential zoning district (the north property line) is 20. For all other fixtures outside of this 200 distance, the maximum height is 30 (155.5401.D). Please update the plans to clearly show the light pole height and identify the revisions made.

The narrative must clearly identify each selected sustainability measure and explain how the project meets the criteria for each point. Please submit this as a separate document.
12. Please provide a fence/wall detail sheet that clearly illustrates the height, material, and design of the proposed fencing and walls. According to the submitted plans, it appears that there's an existing chain-link fence, and you're also proposing a chain-link fence. Please note that, per section 155.5302.G.1, chain link fences are prohibited along arterial or collector streets. Therefore, a chain-link fence along any frontage that abuts such a roadway will require an alternative material to be removed. Also, the detail sheet should include the type of material, height, finishes, and any other relevant specifications. This will ensure that the proposed fencing complies with the City's development standards and can be accurately reviewed.
13. Per Section 155.5603.E., Each street-facing building facade shall be horizontally and/or vertically articulated to avoid long, blank wall planes, by meeting at least one of the following standards:
1. Wall Plane Horizontal Articulation
• Each facade greater than 100 feet in width shall be articulated with wall offsets (e.g., projections or recesses in the facade plane), changes in facade color or material, or similar features that visually interrupt the wall plane horizontally such that the width of uninterrupted facade does not exceed 100 feet.
2. Vertical Articulation
• Each facade greater than 30 feet in height shall incorporate a change in the wall surface plane or in facade color or material that visually interrupts the wall plane vertically such that the height of uninterrupted facade does not exceed 30 feet.
3. Roof Line Variation
• The facade shall include variations in roof planes and/or in the height of a parapet wall at least every 60 feet of roofline length along the facade.
14. Per Section 155.5603.F., Each principal building shall have clearly defined, highly visible primary entrances for occupants and patrons that incorporate at least one of the following design features to emphasize the importance of the entrance:

§ i. Integrated planters or wing walls that incorporate landscaped area or seating areas; or
§ j. Similar architectural features not found on the remainder of the building facade.
2. Facades of the ground level floor facing an arterial street or collector street shall not include overhead doors, sliding glass doors, removable panels, or similar type of doors.
15. Per Section 155.5603.G., The use of vinyl siding aluminum siding, corrugated metal siding, any other metal siding, unfinished or untreated tilt-up concrete panels, or standard single- or double-tee concrete systems as a primary exterior facade material shall be limited to those portions of building facades that are not visible from an arterial or collector street or an adjacent residential use.
16. Provide a narrative explaining how the proposed development will intend to comply with Section 155.5602 of the Commercial Design District and the two comments above referencing this section. This will help ensure that your proposal is ready once you receive approval from the Development Review Committee and proceed to the next step, which is the Architectural Appearance Committee.
17. Per Section 155.5203.F.3., a Type C buffer is required along the perimeter. Please refer to this section and ensure that the proposed perimeter buffer complies with all applicable standards.
18. Per Section 155.5203.D.5, the minimum width of the landscaped area shall be a minimum of eight feet for each 15 feet of height of the abutting building facade. For structures taller than 15 feet, the landscaped area shall be a minimum of one additional foot for every two feet (or major fraction thereof) of height, up to a maximum of 24 feet of landscaped area. Update plans to ensure compliance.
19. Please clarify whether a structured sign is being proposed as part of this development. If a structured sign is intended, it must be submitted and reviewed during the DRC review to ensure a smoother process and avoid multiple AAC reviews and board meetings. If no structured sign is associated with the project and only a wall sign is proposed, please disregard this comment.
20. Provide all required notes and legends on both the elevation plan and the colored elevation plan. This information must be included, as the next step after DRC approval is review by the Architectural Appearance Committee (AAC). Additionally, please ensure that all materials and paint colors shown on the plans are consistent and are also included on the material board for AAC review.
21. Please note that renderings will be required when the project proceeds to AAC review. We recommend submitting the renderings now, along with the DRC submittal, so that any potential issues can be identified and addressed early in the process. (Info Only).
