-Land use for this parcel is Residential (M- Medium Residential 10- 16 DU/AC). The size of this property is approximately .79 acres (34,667 square feet), resulting in approximately 15 units (permitted by the land use), the zoning district (RM-20) also limits the total number of units to 15 based on the net acreage.
-The property was platted (Annie Laurie Courts, Lots 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A & 4B) and recorded after 1953 (Plat Book 72 Pg 13) with no plat notes restricting the use on the plat.
-The plat appeared to originally propose 8 lots around a cul-du-sac labeled NW 8th Court. The cul-du-sac was abandoned by ordinance (Ordinance #: 81-36), but there were utilities easements indicated on the original plat that were retained. The survey indicates that all easements and right-of-way are reflected on the survey, but no notation on when the utilities easements were abandoned. In 2003, an abandonment application was submitted to abandon the 10 foot utility easement around the abandoned cul-du-sac, but that request was approved by the Planning & Zoning Board subject to the condition that an alternative FPL easement be provided. Provide evidence that the utilities easements were abandoned, and the alternative easement for FPL was dedicated.
-A letter from the Broward County Planning Council has been submitted for this property confirming that re-platting is not required the proposed development, but recommends to contact Broward County Planning and Development Management to evaluate if a plat note modification is necessary.
-Provide a School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) Letter from the Broward County School Board prior to building permit approval.
-The property is abuts NW 9 Avenue and NW 8 Street. The survey indicates that there is an existing 25 feet of right-of-way for NW 9 Avenue and 30 feet of right-of-way for NW 8th Street. No additional dedications are required for either roadway. Chapter 100.01 requires a minimum of 50 feet for these roads. The survey illustrates the minimum 25 & 30 feet to the centerline of the road, and thus no additional dedications are required.
-The property does not front on any road identified on the Broward County Trafficways Plan.
-The city has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposal.

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.
Attention:
DRC submissions require a CPTED/ Security Strengthening Narrative Folder, and a SEPARATE Drawing Folder for review. All mandatory compliance condition requirements MUST BE THOROUGHLY ADDRESSED WITH SPECIFIC DETAILED CORRELATING REFERENCES TO EACH ITEM on Narrative and Drawing plans.
. 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.
Doors, Windows, Overhangs, Fences, Etc. - Security Strengthening, Natural Surveillance and Access Control
a. Install either reinforced security see through glass hurricane doors, a see-through reinforced security window on a solid door, an audible/ video intercom pager, or at the minimum a 180 degree wide angle door viewer (peephole) on all solid exterior doors including garage, service doors, etc., to provide opportunity to monitor and surveil exterior and also 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.
b. Any existing or future fencing anywhere on the site should be CPTED oriented such as metal railing ‘see-through’ to maintain critical Natural Surveillance.
c. Fences should limit or not have easily accessible horizontal bars that could be used for climbing and breaching any security fencing. Use narrow spacing between vertical bars to prevent footholds.
d. Do not block the Natural Surveillance benefit of ‘see-through’ fencing by placing high obstructive objects, landscaping hedges or groundcover placed 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.
Burglar Alarms/ Security Alarms/ Safes - Mechanical Security Strengthening
a. Are Burglar Alarms installed to any residential Apartments? Indicate on CPTED narrative
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 of 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 padlock.
c. Bottom gate clearances must be 8” above the ground for viewing underneath.
d. If there is a pedestrian passageway into the dumpster enclosure it must have the lockable gate.
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.
Parking Garage & Lot, and Adjacent Access Perimeters:
a. Parking garages and lots have one of the highest crime rates therefore the following facts must be thoroughly acknowledged and addressed:
b. Explain how this mixed use development which includes residential housing, commercial office, retail spaces, etc., will securely operate the parking garage &/ or lot Access Control systems to avoid allowing non-legitimate unauthorized users and dangerous trespassers from breaching inside private property to burglarize, steal cars, commit robberies, sexual assaults & batteries, etc.
c. 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).
d. Violent Robbery incidents, primarily in parking lots, have resulted in serious personal injuries and death to both residents, guests, customers and employees, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist.
e. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture
f. . Show overlapping sight “cones”.
g. An Access Control vehicular gate entrance into the parking garage will deter and help prevent trespass opportunities. These entrances must be under video surveillance. In order to prevent unauthorized access trespassing, install a robust security roll down gates that can be operated in times of need to close and secure the garage, such as during a hurricane or other emergency including a serious or life-threatening criminal situation.
h. (Multi-residential or commercial only) Parking spaces should be clearly and individually marked and assigned for owners/ authorized guests use only.
i. (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.
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.
f. Ensure video surveillance at all exterior building entrances. Include an audible/ video intercom and resident/ guest call system. Entrance doors must be electronically locked and functionally integrated into the intercom system. Residents with FOB’s/ Smartcards should have electronic access control to the front entrance doors, the garage entrance door, the stairwells, and the trash/ garbage room.
g. Install motion activated security cameras on the perimeter boundaries, and the parking areas, and activity areas such as exterior amenity areas.
h. Install video surveillance along the exterior of the property facing the adjacent sidewalks and streets to deter criminal activities such as burglary, auto-theft, robbery, sexual assault & battery, etc.
Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening
a. Ensure all exterior electrical power outlets have a lock or power secure internal cutoff switch to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to charge their mobile phones, etc.
b. Ensure all exterior water outlet spigots have a secure locking cap to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to wash themselves and their clothes, and who leave soiled clothing and lots of litter behind.

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING
Plan Reviewer: Beth Dubow | beth.dubow@copbfl.com
Status: Review Complete Resubmittal Required
1. The garbage enclosure shown on the site plan is too small. A 10-foot by 10-foot enclosure is the standard size to accommodate an 8-yd dumpster. Specifications have been uploaded for your convenience.
2. It is highly suggested to install bollards within the enclosure to protect the walls from the rolling dumpster.
3. It is suggested to relocate or reorient (angled slightly clockwise) the enclosure so the garbage truck can easily access the dumpster.
4. Show the turning radii for the garbage truck on the site plan. Minimum required radii are 30 feet (inside) and 50 feet (outside).
NOTE: Owners of commercial properties are responsible for securing garbage collection service directly from Waste Management, Inc. Rental communities are considered commercial properties.
NOTE: Recycling collection is not required, but it is highly encouraged. Recycling collection service may be obtained from a recovered materials hauler.
NOTE: As stated in the Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances, Chapter 96, including Section 96.12(D)(1), all construction and demolition debris removal is the responsibility of the owner. All solid waste generated within the geographic boundaries of Pompano Beach shall be collected by the franchise collector (Waste Management at the time of this writing) and disposed of as directed by the city disposal agreement. All materials shall be generated from the property on which the materials are placed for removal. Information regarding container size and hauling costs may be found in Chapter 96, Section 96.13.
NOTE: Additional comments may be necessary based upon revisions, additional plans and/or documents. Contact Beth Dubow at 954-545-7047 or beth.dubow@copbfl.com should you have any questions or concerns regarding this review.
PLEASE NOTE: Applications that require resubmission to the DRC have 45 days from the time of original DRC meeting in which to resubmit. Applications that fail to be resubmitted before the completion of these 45 days, or fail to receive a time extension from the Development Services Director, shall be considered withdrawn (§155.2304.B).
