PLANNING
Plan Reviewer: Max Wemyss | max.wemyss@copbfl.com
Status: Authorized with Conditions.
-Land use for this parcel is DPTOC (Downtown Pompano Beach Transit Oriented Corridor) (13,600 square feet = 0.31 acres). In 2012 (Ordinance 2013-15), the City and County adopted the DPTOC, which consisted of 269 acres of mixed land use area & consolidated all of the permitted uses (residential, commercial, office, hotel, etc.) into one "basket of rights," to be reallocated through the district in accordance with a regulating plan. Initially, the City total number of residential units was 1,368 dwelling units permitted within the area. An application requesting an additional 2,000 dwelling units was approved by the City Commission via Ordinance 2021-03. Based on the approved development in the area, there are enough dwelling units remaining "in the basket" to accommodate this development.
-The property is unplatted. Applicant has submitted an application (P&Z: 22-14000004) to plat the property. Provide the recorded plat prior to building permit.
-The property is abuts NW 6 Street. The survey does not identify the width of the right-of-way for NW 6th Street. Site plans and survey have been revised to illustrate 25 feet of the property dedicated to the centerline, as required by Chapter 100.01. Dedication required prior to building permit.
-The city has sufficient wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the proposal.
ZONING
Plan Reviewer: Pamela Stanton | pamela.stanton@copbfl.com
Status: Pending Resubmittal.
1. Provide written responses addressing each comment as part of the DRC resubmittal.
2. One-way drive aisles that serve 90-degree parking must be a minimum of 23 feet in width, unobstructed. The ground floor plan shows an unobstructed one-way drive aisle of 20’ - 10”, and a 24-foot width that is obstructed by structural columns. Revise the plans to provide the minimum required drive aisle width.
3. The stairs are shown 22 feet from the rear property line. Table 155.9402.C allows stairs to encroach 5 feet into the rear setback, which is 30 feet. Therefore, the stairs cannot be closer than 25 feet from the rear property line. Address this issue.
4. Sheet A-1.1: The Open Space Diagram shows the area beneath the stairway as Open Space. Revise the diagram and Open Space figures to show the area beneath the stairway as non-open space.
5. The Open Space diagram shows the building footprint at 8364.66 square feet and the open space at 5614.53 square feet for a total of 13,979.19 square feet which exceeds the lot size of 13,600 square feet. Address this issue.
6. The Green Area diagram shows the area between the stairs and the building as landscape area. Provide a plant type for this area on the landscape plan.
7. Two “sod” areas are shown inside the building on sheet A-2.1, Ground Floor. Plants will not grow in that environment. Revise the plans to remove the landscape area from within the building area.
8. The landscape plan shows Perennial Peanut in the walkways. This plant will not withstand foot traffic. Revise the plan to provide a hardier plant that will withstand foot traffic.
9. The landscape plan shows the walkway at the west side of the building with a non-continuous paved surface, such as pavers, interspersed with plant material. Verify with Fire Prevention whether this is acceptable, or if it must be a continuous paved surface.
10. The Sustainable Development Point table on sheet SP-1 includes Efficient Water Heating. Clarify which water heating method will be used: tankless or solar. If solar water heating, show and label the proposed location of the panels on the roof plan.
11. Delineate and label the driveway gates on the Ground Floor plan, sheet A-2.1.
12. Clarify the purpose of the room labeled “Social Activities” on the ground floor plan, and whether it will be used for storage.
13. On all drawings, provide dimensions in a consistent and uniform manner in feet and inches, and not a combination of dimensioning conventions. For example, on the site plan, the width of the building is shown as 86’ - 1” and the length is shown as 91.75’.
14. On the ground floor plan, dimensions are shown for measurements from particular building elements or site elements to points or lines that random locations that are both on-site and off-site. For example, a dimension of 8’ - 11” is shown measuring from a column in the parking area to a line shown east of the project site, and a dimension of 5’ - 8” from the east edge of the ground floor to the same line off site. Clarify why these dimensions are provided.
15. Provide the required and provided setbacks on the Zoning information on sheet SP-1.
16. Show the property lines on the upper-level floor plans and elevation drawings. For review purposes, the property lines are needed to verify compliance with setback requirements.
17. Provide a dimension on the site plan and upper-level floor plan from the balconies to the side property lines. Table 155.9402.C. permits balconies to encroach five feet into rear setbacks only. Balconies cannot encroach into the required 5-foot side setback.
18. The response to the previous comment pertaining to the hatch pattern on the roof plan stated that the hatch pattern was removed. However, the hatch pattern remains on the roof plan. Clarify what the hatch pattern represents on the roof plan that resembles roof tile/shingles.
19. Previous comment was insufficiently addressed: Private open spaces must provide shaded areas, and their surface shall be a combination of paving materials, sodded lawn, or ground cover, pursuant to Section 155.3501.K.3.d. The landscape plan shows Myrcianthes frangrans and Sabal palmetto, neither of which are known to produce sufficient shade.
20. The response to the previous comment pertaining to the “Pervious Pavement Area” stated that area was removed. However, the area remains on sheet A-1 on the Open Space Diagram and the Green Area Diagram. Clarify whether the area will remain on the plans or be removed from all plans.
21. Upload the recorded Plat to version over the preliminary Plat in the Drawings folder.
22. The required Right-of-Way dedication must be complete prior to building permit approval. City Engineer to confirm width of dedication. This will be a condition of a Development Order.

***THE CPTED & SECURITY STRENGTHENING CONDITIONS STATED BELOW MUST BE INCORPORATED ONTO YOUR EXISTING CPTED DRAWING PLAN FOR APPROVAL: ***
A. 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 have very financially costly &/ or deadly consequences, so strategically planning and designing defenses ahead of time to prevent or deter these incidents is vital for safety and security.
2.) For Residential, all solid exterior doors must have a see-through reinforced security window or a vision panel opposite the from the doorknob / locking hardware, or at the minimum a wide-angle door viewer (door scope / peephole).
Goal: 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.
3.) Designated ADA access ramps should 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, encourage vagrancy & provide concealment for other types of criminal activity i.e.: loitering, trespassing, vandalism (graffiti), narcotic use, ambush attack, etc., and result in higher maintenance costs.
4) Exterior design elements and/ or features, whether elevated or not, such as walkways, promenades, ramps, whether ADA compliant or not, must not have solid walls obstructing &/ or preventing Natural Surveillance. If an elevated/ raised design element and/ or design feature obstructs Natural Surveillance, it creates unintended vulnerable and potentially dangerous concealment and/ or ambush opportunities for quality-of-life issues/ disturbances and/ or crimes to occur. Another important concern to the success of a development’s sustainability is understanding that areas which attract intruders, loiterers, trespassers, etc., frequently result in profuse littering and persons using the area, especially afterhours, to relieve themselves contrary to the intended use of the development. These unintended consequences also deter owners, operators, tenants, etc., as a result of the chronically increased maintenance expenses.
Purpose: Deter unintended loitering, trespass. Avoid creating concealment &/ or ambush opportunities for crime. Reduce avoidable expensive maintenance costs.
5.) 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 & vagrancy.
A2. 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.) Include anti-pry robust security bar device ("Charlie Bar") on any ground & second level sliding glass doors.
2.) 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.
3.) 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 should 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.
4.) 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.) Enclosed trash rooms must be equipped with either constant lighting &/or a secured motion sensor photocell 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. Security Strengthening - Parking Lots / Parking Garages / Covered Parking
1.) 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.)
2.) 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.) 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.
4.) Install anti-vehicular impact traffic safety bollards preferably lighted &/or large heavy planters secured to the ground along street front pedestrian entrance and exit areas to prevent serious vehicle intrusion accidents/ incidents.
5.) (For Enclosed Parking Garages) Any ground & second level “window” openings / wall punchouts that would enable unauthorized entry into the garage must incorporate see through barriers. Some examples of such barriers are picket style fencing, metal mesh, perforated panels, louver style paneling or other architectural abstract designs that provide transparency while simultaneously preventing improper entry.
Purpose: To prevent unauthorized users from circumventing the designated entry / exit points thereby depriving suspects the ability to covertly enter the garage undetected for the purpose of committing crimes to include robbery, burglary, auto theft, sexual assault, ambush style attacks, criminal mischief, etc. Please note that horizontal bars are NOT preferred as they can facilitate climbing depending on their spacing.
6.) (Enclosed Parking Garages) Locate the Blue Light Call Assistance System or an equivalent Emergency Call System in all garage levels for emergency assistance. Place near elevators and staircases, including any remote staircases. Blue Light / Emergency Call System and surrounding area must be under video surveillance.
7.) Install convex security mirrors to increase visibility around blind corners, ramps & any points of intersection between vehicle lanes of travel & pedestrian pathways.
D. Maintenance & Management - Security Strengthening
1.) 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 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, etc.
Purpose: To provide employees / on-site staff members the ability to instantly call for emergency aid for any rapidly escalating disturbances, crimes in progress, crisis situations &/or life-threatening events.
2.) Elevator (if any) - Access Controlled by 1st floor FOB, include electronic surveillance and a panic button.
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.
4.) (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.
