Disclaimer:
The services of an independent, experienced, qualified and certified Security Crime Prevention/ CPTED Consultant are highly recommended for objective and credible security review integrity.
This 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, or liabilities that might occur without any review.
CPTED Landscaping Standards
2A: Natural Surveillance
a. Ensure to design out all landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to Natural or Electronic Surveillance.
b. Ensure to design out existing or potential concealment/ ambush points to deter/ prevent criminal activity.
c. Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants and ground cover.
d. Maintain an 8'' foot clear trunk without any obstructive limbs or foliage hanging down for canopy trees and tall plants that obstruct Natural &/ or Electronic Surveillance.
e. Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition per code.
Electronic Surveillance - Security Strengthening
a. Ensure electronic surveillance cameras and monitors are strategically located for maximum active and passive observation. Show sight “cones” indicating comprehensive coverage.
b. Ensure all cameras are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing or installation of future landscaping.
c. 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.
d. Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along the building perimeters.
e. Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be observed through Natural Surveillance must be covered by electronic surveillance monitoring.

Status: Review Complete Pending Development Order
1. Provide written responses to each DRC comment.
2. Revise the Site Data table on the site plan. The square footage for the Concrete Truck Court (Proposed) is shown in the Existing column.
3. Verify light pole locations. The photometric plan depicts two lighting locations in the paved area of the proposed parking lot and the Luminaire Schedule indicates that those two luminaires are mounted on existing poles.
4. The landscape median between the proposed truck parking area and the existing parking area must be a minimum of eight feet wide, exclusive of the truck overhang. The median must have canopy trees spaced no more than 40 feet apart, a continuous hedge, and grass or groundcover throughout the remaining area of the median. The plan shows the truck overhang of approximately 8 feet, leaving less than the required 8 feet for the required landscaping. Revise the plans to provide the required clear width of the landscape median.
5. Verify the scope of work that is proposed on this application. It appears that additional work is proposed outside of the delineated “AREA OF WORK” that is shown on SP-1, such as a new retention area that is included on the civil plans, interior renovation plans, and additional irrigation on the irrigation plan.
