Project Description
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property to Planned Development (PD), with Resource Protection (RP) and Aircraft Noise (AN) Overlays, and approval of a framework site plan for ±3,000,000 sq. ft. of industrial warehouses, offices and flexspace uses in proximity to the Orlando International Airport. Much of the site was the former Orlando Naval Training Center
(NTC) Annex. Default zoning for the site will be I-P, I-P/RP and I-P/AN (based on underlying future land use designations).
Previous Actions:
1940: Properties originally developed as part of Pinecastle Airfield, which later became Pinecastle Army Airfield during WW2,
then to McCoy Air Force Base during the Korean War.
1974: Properties transferred to US Navy as part of Naval Training Center (NTC) Annex.
1988: Properties annexed into the City (City Doc. #22520).
1991: Industrial and Industrial/Resource Protection future land use assigned and properties rezoned to I-P (Industrial Park), I-P/RP
(I-P with Resource Protection Overlay) and P/AN (Public Use, Aircraft Noise Overlay).
1999: ±54-acre portion of property acquired by the City of Orlando (from the US Navy) following closure of the Orlando NTC.
2/2008: ±176.8-acre portion of property acquired by Bogey Boggy Creek 08 LLC.
Project Context
The property is located on the south side of 8th St., between Family Camp Rd. and airport related uses on the west side of Tradeport Dr., all north of Boggy Creek Rd. Adjacent land use designations, zoning and uses are shown in Table 1 below.

Conformance with the GMP
The City-owned property has Industrial future land use with I-P zoning and two (2) small areas of RP (Resource Protection) Overlay. The larger parcel to the east and south has Industrial/Resource Protection future land use, with P (Public Use) and P/AN (Aircraft Noise) Overlay. Zoning the property to PD, PD/RP and PD/AN would make the zoning consistent with the Growth Management Plan. Given the history of the property, two (2) GMP subarea policies were placed on the property when released by the US
Navy. Subarea Policy S.33.4 covers the City owned ±54-acre parcel, with the following verbiage:
“The Industrial parcel (a.k.a. Navy Apartment Parcel) of the former NTC McCoy Annex was previously designated
as Residential Low Intensity and limited to a maximum of 618 housing units. Upon changing the future land use designation from Residential Low Intensity to Industrial, those development rights were added to the 350 dwelling units
permitted on the Urban Village site [to the north]. Development of the Industrial Parcel shall be permitted up to the
maximum intensity permitted by the Industrial future land use category and the Land Development Code, and shall
require Master Plan review prior to development. Any development of the Industrial parcel shall include a public
street connecting Dowden Road (a.k.a. 8th St.) through the parcel to Boggy Creek Road via Rayburn Street.”
The applicant is requesting consideration of an alternate roadway (through the industrial parcel) to Boggy Creek Rd. in the
event that a connection using Rayburn St. is unavailable or not supported by Orange County.
Subarea Policy S.33.5 covers the larger parcel to the east and south, with the following language:
“Because this area is the location of a former military landfill, any development proposals shall be supported by engineering and environmental studies demonstrating the suitability of areas affected by the former landfill for the uses
proposed. Planned Development (PD) zoning shall be required in order to address appropriate locations for development. The boundaries of environmentally sensitive areas shall be determined through the Planned Development (PD)
or Conservation (C) rezoning process, based upon appropriate environmental studies and analysis. Development
within identified environmentally sensitive areas shall be consistent with Conservation Policies 1.4.1 through 1.4.6
and coordinated with all appropriate government agencies to minimize adverse environmental impacts.”
Page 5
The applicant intends to impact a former Navy landfill and to impact several isolated wetlands on the property, possibly including the two (2) small wetlands on the City property, which is in the process of being acquired by the applicant.
The applicant provided the following project narrative:
“As noted [under the Subarea Policy], a portion of the site was used as the McCoy Annex landfill, consisting mainly of construction debris and domestic (non hazardous) waste, which afterward was converted into a nine-hole municipal golf course, thus the P
(Public Use) zoning designation. A detailed soils investigation was issued detailing the findings of the geotechnical investigation
related to the landfill investigation. The main findings indicated that the extent of the landfill area consists of 34 acres mainly located in the central portion of the site. Moreover, the depth of the landfill material varies from one to five (1-5) ft.
The site also contains approximately 20 acres of wetlands. An environmental report prepared by the environmental consultant
noted that wetlands will be impacted as a result of the proposed development given their location within the development limits.
Mitigation for all wetland impacts will be implemented though approvals from the South Florida Water Management District and
though the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The main reason for the PD request is to reconfigure the existing boundaries and provide a consistent industrial use based on anticipated development patterns for the proposed PD area. In addition to delineating the limits of the underlying zoning within the
PD, a Framework Master Plan has also been provided, illustrating the access points and the overall entitlements for the project.
The framework plan also provides an internal connector/access road designed to meet the industrial park standards with a 70 ft.
wide right-of-way, with a sidewalk and multi-purpose trail on the sides of the street. The sidewalk and multi-purpose trail are
included to meet the City multimodal mobility requirements.
The proposed industrial park is intended to be developed in phases for a total entitlement of ±3,000,000 sq. ft. of industrial develop-ment. A first phase of approximately 500,000 SF is currently proposed for Tract A of the Framework Plan. The north/south
internal access road will connect all of the proposed tracts to 8th St. on the north and to Rayburn St. on the southwest side of the
property. Rayburn St. is a County maintained dead-end street with a 50-foot wide right-of-way extending between Boggy Creek
Rd. and the west side of the project site. However, two (2) alternative access points are also proposed, in lieu of connecting
to Rayburn St. It is important to note that Rayburn Street connects to Boggy Creek road and the two proposed alternatives also
connect to the Boggy Creek Rd., thus maintaining a similar traffic pattern within the proposed PD. The events that may trigger
such alternatives to be pursued would be: a) the County not allowing the use of Rayburn St. in its current condition; or b) if the
redevelopment of Rayburn St. to industrial standards meeting the County requirements would require additional right-of-way to
build a typical section industrial roadway and/or acquire additional right-of-way for a stormwater pond to serve the Rayburn St.
improvements. Any right-of-way acquisition is not under the control of the developer and as such, the developer will opt to construct either Alternative 1 or Alternative 2 as shown on the Framework Plan.”
The property is located south of the Southport PD, but no portion of the total site actually abuts any portion of the Southport PD.
Conformance with the LDC
Development standards for the PD are provided in Table 2 below. Development of the site via a PD will ensure compliance with
any existing environmental issues and will also eliminate potentially less desirable industrial uses that a rezoning to I-P or I-G
might otherwise allow. The PD would specifically allow a potential development program of ±3,000,000 sq. ft. of industrial
warehouses, offices, flexspace and limited outside storage. Staff finds that the requested PD is consistent with the LDC.

Resource Protection Future Land Use & Zoning Overlay - All of the larger 176.8 acre portion of the property is designated Industrial/Resource Protection on the City’s Future Land Use Map, and 5.2 acres of the smaller City-owned portion of the property is
within the Resource Protection (RP) zoning overlay. The intent of the RP Future Land Use designation and zoning overlay is to
identify major environmental features that may restrict or otherwise affect development of land. Regulations to protect RP designated or zoned properties are found within Chapter 63 of the Code, within the Conservation Element of the Growth Management
Plan and within the stormwater management regulations of the City.
Aircraft Noise Overlay - The eastern 78 acres of the total site lies within the Aircraft Noise (AN) Overlay (LDC Chapter 59 Part
2R), which denotes those areas located within the flight path of the Orlando International Airport (OIA). The Airport Noise Overlay specifically requires sound attenuation and notification for new residential and hotel/motel uses, but not for commercial or
industrial uses.
Framework PD Plan - A framework PD Plan has been provided, with the total site to be developed in four (4) main tracts A - D,

Total
collector as designated in LDC Chapter 61,
Part 2B, or shall have access to an arterial or four lane collector via a public street without passing through or alongside any
residential district.
 Traffic Hazards. No I-P district shall be so located as to direct traffic into adjacent residential districts, or where traffic congestion would be likely to affect residential districts.
Access to the site is currently from 8th Ave., which becomes Dowden Rd. further to the west and Express St. to the east (within
GOAA-owned property). Truck access will be from Tradeport Dr. (to the east), via Express St. and 8th Ave., which currently exists as a 2-lane roadway within a 100-ft. R-O-W (the road was likely constructed when the airfield was converted to a military
installation in 1942). As previously noted, the applicant intends to dedicate a 70-ft. wide ROW with two (2) 12-ft. wide lanes, a 12
-ft. wide raised median, 7-ft. wide buffer strips, a 5-ft. wide sidewalk on one side, and an 11-ft. wide multi-use path on the other
side (see Local Public Road typical sections and key map on pages 11-12 of this report). An additional east-west 70-ft. wide R-OW with similar roadway design (the Rayburn St. extension) will be dedicated and constructed to provide direct access to Boggy
Creek Rd. In the event that Rayburn St. cannot be extended eastward from its current terminus in the county, the applicant has
proposed a third north-south 70-ft. R-O-W that will connect to Boggy Creek Rd. to the south. Staff is also asking that the portion
of 8th St. north of Tract A (Phase 1) be improved to more adequately handle the increased truck traffic that the project will incur.
The subject site will have cross-access throughout, providing future access when future phases come online.
Parking within the PD, within each phase of development, will be determined and verified at time of administrative master plan
approval for each phase.
Architecture/Urban Design
Landscaping/Buffers. Proposed uses within the default I-P, I-P/RP and I-P/AN zoning districts will require minimum 35 ft. front
building setbacks along public streets and parking and drive aisles may only be located in the rear half of the front and street side
setbacks. Otherwise, required buffers and landscaping will be determined at time of administrative master plan review and approval.
Signage
The proposed development site will be bound by LDC Section 64.201 relative to allowed sign area, which is based on building
frontages facing 8th St. and other primary and secondary access roadways. Again, maximum allowed sign area will be determined
at time of administrative master plan review and approval. All signs must be consistent with LDC Chapter 64 and must be permitted prior to fabrication and construction. Electronic reader boards, digital signs, pennants and streamers are prohibited.
School Impacts
The PD will consist of industrial uses (per the default I-P zonings), all non-residential uses. Further OCPS review is not required.
FINDINGS
Subject to the conditions contained herein, the proposed Air Commerce Park PD is consistent with the requirements for approval
of Planned Development applications contained in Sections 58.362 and 65.335 of the Land Development Code (LDC):
1. The proposed PD is consistent with the City’s Growth Management Plan.
2. The proposed PD is consistent with the purpose and intent of the default I-P, I-P/RP and I-P/AN zoning districts and all other
requirements of the LDC.
3. The proposed uses within the PD will be compatible with surrounding land uses and the general character of the area.
4. The necessary public facilities will be adequate to serve the proposed uses within the PD, or will be provided by the applicant
as a condition of this approval.
Staff recommends approval of the Air Commerce Park PD, subject to the conditions beginning on page 11 of this report.

Growth Management
The PD framework plan shall be revised to reflect the following:
- Include location of landfill (it is unclear if dotted area depicts landfill).
- Remove parcel IDs (these ID numbers will change).
- Revise tract boundaries so all land area is in a tract. For example, land south and west of Tract B is unlabeled.
Land Development
1. Land Use & Zoning. Unless otherwise stated within the PD, conditions for development of the site shall be subject to the
standards of the default I-P, I-P/RP and I-P/AN zoning districts.
2. Parking. Minimum parking for each phase shall be determined at time of administrative master plan review.
3. Signs. Total sign area, including wall, monument, pole, projecting and awning signs, will be determined based on building
frontage facing the public or private streets within the development, and shall be determined at time of administrative master
plan review for each phase. Digital readerboard signs, pennants, streamers and inflatable devices are prohibited. Permits shall
be secured for all signs prior to fabrication and construction of said signs.
4. Purpose of the PD. The PD is requested to allow up to 3,000,000 sq. ft. of industrial, office and flex-space use, while protecting existing connected wetlands and environmental portions of the ex-Navy property. Wetlands impacted by this project shall
be mitigated in accordance with local, State and federal regulations.
5. Phasing. The PD site will be developed in multiple phases. Each phase shall function independently without reliance on previous or subsequent phases (relies on north/south and east/west roadway extensions).
6. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR) shall not exceed 90% based on the default I-P zonings as indicated under #1 above.
7. Non-Residential Intensity is limited to a maximum 0.5 Floor Area Ratio (FAR), based on the default I-P zonings as indicated
under #1 above.
8. Building Height. Maximum building height within the PD development site shall not exceed 75 ft.
9. Buffers will be determined at time of administrative master plan review for each phase.
10. Scope of Planned Development - This use shall operate only as described within this report. All of the improvements shown
in the attached site plan (and as amended by any conditions found herein) are required as a condition of approval. Any changes in the use of the site, the operation of the project, or the site plan as described herein may require a new or amended
Planned Development (see "Minor Modifications" condition below). This approval is not transferable to another property.
11. Minor Modifications - Minor modifications and design changes including but not limited to fences, signs, landscaping, interior alterations, and other minor changes, that are required beyond those previously reviewed by the Municipal Planning
Board, may be approved by the Planning Official without further review by the Municipal Planning Board. Major changes
shall require additional review by the Municipal Planning Board.
12. Permit Compliance - All plans submitted with the applicant's building permit application(s) must comply with the conditions
of approval provided in the Municipal Planning Board staff report and any amendments to those conditions approved by the
Municipal Planning Board or City Council. No building permit will be issued for this project until all conditions of approval
are complied with and reflected in the plans submitted with the building permit application.
13. Regulations Subject to Code - Except as provided herein, the proposed project is subject to the conditions of this report and
all codes and ordinances of the State of Florida, City of Orlando and all other applicable regulatory agencies.
14. Planned Development Expiration - Upon approval of the Planned Development (PD) by City Council, a building permit shall
be obtained for the project and the work completed within five (5) years of approval of the PD, or the PD shall expire (the
applicant would then need to apply for a new PD). If a building permit for the work requiring the PD expires before a certificate of occupancy (CO) or certificate of completion (CC) is issued for the work requiring said PD, then the PD is no longer
valid and the applicant must apply for a new PD. No PD extensions can be entertained or approved.
Urban Design
1. Street Trees - All street parkways shall have street trees as required in City Code. Minimum parkway width within the streets
shall be 7.5 ft. unless otherwise noted on the typical street cross-sections. Canopy trees planted within parkways less than 10
feet in width shall include special design and construction techniques, such as the incorporation of structural soils, sand-based
structural soils, root cells, or root barriers. The method used must be approved by the Zoning Official's designee.
2. Building Entrances - The main pedestrian/public entrance to each building shall be placed in the principal facade, and oriented
directly toward the public or private street. The public entrance shall be architecturally highlighted.
3. Transparency - Two (2) sides of each building (front and street side) shall include at least 15% ground-floor transparency, to
be provided with clear glass or low-e glass of at least 60% light transmittance; for this purpose "ground-floor" shall be considered to be from 0 (zero) to 10 feet of the exterior wall above exterior grade. The required transparency may be provided any-
Page 14
C O N D I T I O N S O F A P P R O VA L - R E Q U I R E D ( C O N T ’ D )
where in the facade between 1 to 9 feet above grade.
4. Architectural Detailing - Not more than 80 linear feet of the principal building façade(s) shall be unarticulated by architectural
details. Such details may include windows, canopies, awnings, changes in parapet height, material changes, projections, recesses, or similar features. Architectural elevations shall be submitted for Appearance Review prior to application for building
permits. Minor changes may be approved by staff, but significant deviation from the approved elevations shall require a Letter
of Determination from the Planning Official.
5. All utilities, including street light poles, shall be kept out of the pedestrian path.
6. Site lighting must comply with Chapter 63 of City Code. Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps are encouraged.
7. All dumpsters and trash compactors shall be screened with solid walls to match the principal structure. Decorative gates shall
be installed to coordinate with principal structure. Landscape screen including low hedge and groundcover required to soften
the view from the public ROW.
8. Loading docks shall be placed so that they are not visible or shall be heavily buffered from view from existing or proposed
public streets.
9. Fencing is not required, but any fencing along public rights-of-way shall be an open, CPTED-approved style, such as aluminum or wrought-iron pickets. Any on-site chain link fences shall be 6-gauge black vinyl-clad, with top and bottom rails.
10. Sidewalk Connections - A complete pedestrian circulation plan shall be provided that links all parcels with continuous pathways. A minimum 5-foot wide pedestrian pathway shall connect from the principal building entrances and exits to the sidewalks and/or multi-use trails within the adjacent R-O-Ws.
11. Provide stamped concrete, pavers, or an alternative material treatment with a smooth surface for all pedestrian crosswalks.
12. A Sign Master Plan (to be approved as a Planning Official Determination) shall be developed to ensure a consistent signage
theme across all parcels within the development.
13. Any high-rise signs shall be oriented toward the streets and away from any residential neighborhoods.
14. Signs shall be of durable materials. Channel letters, halo-lit signs, externally lit, or metal faces with push through letters are
preferred. Plastic cabinet signs shall be prohibited. Pole signs shall be prohibited. Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lamps are
preferred.
Transportation Planning
1. Roadway Network Improvement and Development: The developer shall be responsible for extending and improving four (4)
roadway segments within and adjacent to the industrial park. The new road segments will create better north/south and east/
west connectivity for the area as well as serving the needs of the new industrial tenants.
A. All road segments for this development shall comply with the City Code and Engineering Standards in force at the time
of submission of plans for permitting.
B. The typical cross section for all 4 segments shall be as shown in Figure A and shall include a 5 ft wide sidewalk on one
side of the roadway and an 11 ft wide multi-use trail on the opposite side of the roadway.
C. The 4 road segments required for the ultimate build-out of this PD are shown in Figure B.
D. All 4 road segments shall be constructed and maintained as public roads.
E. The timing of the construction for the 4 road segments shall be as follows:
 Segment 1: Seven Seas Lane – 8th Street to Rayburn Street Extension

development each on Tract A and Tract B.
 Segment 2: Seven Seas Lane – Boggy Creek Road to Rayburn Street
Constructed concurrent with Certificates of Occupancy for 400 ksf of development on Tract D or .for any development on Tract C if Segment 1 has not been completed.
 Segment 3: Rayburn Street Extension – Boggy Creek Road to Seven Seas Lane
To be constructed as an internal access road. If additional R-O-W west of the project cannot be provided or obtained,
then Segment 3 will not be pursued and Segment 2 will be constructed as an alternative. Segment 3 construction time
frame will be similar to the conditions for construction of Segment 2.
 Segment 4: Rayburn Street – Seven Seas Lane to east lot line of PD.
Constructed concurrent with Certificates of Occupancy for developments totaling 2,000 ksf anywhere in the PD.
F. The intersection of Seven Seas Lane and Rayburn Street shall be constructed as a single lane round-about sized to accommodate use by 70 ft long design vehicles (tractor-trailers). This round-about shall be constructed with the first of Seg-
Page 15
C O N D I T I O N S O F A P P R O VA L - R E Q U I R E D ( C O N T ’ D )
ments 2 or 3 detailed above.
G. The intersection of Seven Seas Lane and 8th Street shall be realigned to the east by ~100 ft to align with an extension of
Seven Seas Lane north of 8th as envisioned in compliance with the Southport Vision Plan.
H. The preferred alignments of Segments #1, #2, #3, and #4 shall be shown on a map to be included as an exhibit for the PD
Ordinance.
I. The preferred alignment of Segment 2 shall be generally along the eastern boundary of Tract D.
J. Rights-of-way needed for road Segments #1 and 3 shall be dedicated at the time of Platting of the earlier of Tract B or
Tract C. This shall include the right-of-way needed for the roundabout if Segment #2 has not been dedicated.
K. Right-of-way needed for road Segment #2 shall be dedicated at the time of Tract D. This shall include the right-of-way
needed for the roundabout if Segment #1 has not been dedicated.
L. Right-of-way needed for road Segment #4 shall be dedicated at the time of Platting of Tract C.
M. 8th St between Seven Seas Lane and the eastern property line of Tract A shall be improved at the time of development on
Tract A. The cross section shall include 2 travel lanes, left turn lanes meeting FDOT standards for the 2 project driveways and a sidewalk along the south side of the roadway. Open swales may be used for the drainage of this road segment. Improvements shall also include expansion of the pavement on the bridge at the east side of Tract A, installation of
warning signs and pavement markings for the narrow bridge condition, and guardrails or similar protection for the box
culvert structure.
N. 8th St between Seven Seas Lane and the western property line of Tract B shall be improved at the time of development on
Tract B. The cross section shall include 2 travel lanes, left turn lanes meeting FDOT standards for the 2 project driveways and a sidewalk along the south side of the roadway. Open swales may be used for the drainage of this road segment.
2.
Road Names: Names for all r oads descr ibed above may be changed so long and City r equir ements of naming conventions and regulations are met.
3.
Proportionate Fair Share Agreement: The owner /developer agr ees to par ticipate in discussions with the City and
other land owners in the area to develop a Proportionate Fair Share plan for the improvement of Dowden Rd/8th St/Express St
to a full urban cross section capable of sustaining the high level of truck traffic anticipated with development to the full intensity of industrial use in the area. This condition does not obligate the owner/developer to contribute a specific Fair Share
to this project, but does commit them to participating in the process to establish such a funding mechanism to bring this road
to an acceptable operating characteristic.
Transportation Engineering
1. Framework roads and the expansion of Dowden Rd/8th St/Express St will meet all current City and FDOT standards for construction.
2. The framework roads and expansion roads shall have a cross section that contains two 12-ft. wide travel lanes, a 12-ft. wide
raised median, and an 11-ft. wide multi-use path on at least one side per Figure A.
3. All roads shall have a design speed of a minimum 30 MPH.
4. All access openings shown are preliminary and there is currently not sufficient information to make a final determination on
the location of the access openings, with the exception of the two driveways shown for Tract A onto 8th St. Staff and the developers will work together at the time of SPMP submittal for each parcel to agree on all access points.
5. Either alternative to a connection to Boggy Creek Rd shall come into intersections at a 90 degree angle to create a “T” intersection. The angles shown currently do not meet that requirement.
6. All temporary access driveways shall be built according to the City's Engineering Standards Manual. At the time of the realignment and construction of Seven Seas Dr, the temporary driveway shall be removed at the owner's and/or developer's expense.
7. The Seven Seas Dr and Rayburn St intersection shall be constructed as a round-a-bout to facilitate the phasing of the road network and provide traffic calming.

1. CPTED Review. The Orlando Police Department has reviewed the plans for the Air Commerce Park PD, to be located on
8th St. (ex NTC Annex)., utilizing CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles. CPTED emphasizes the proper design and effective use of a created environment to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. There are
four overlapping strategies in CPTED that apply to any development: Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, Territorial Reinforcement and Target Hardening.
2. Natural Surveillance: Design the sites to keep intruders easily observable. This is promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking areas and building entrances; doors and windows that look out onto streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and street; and adequate nighttime lighting.
A lighting plan was not available at the time of this review. All lighting for this project shall meet the guidelines in Orange
County Ordinance No. 2003-08 and Orlando Land Development Code.
o Good lighting provides visual guidance and orientation to visitors and improves the perception of their safety especially
in areas not easily observed from main walkways.
o Pedestrian scale exterior lighting should not be screened out by landscaping or building structures such as overhangs or
awnings.
o Appropriate lighting should be included in any areas anticipated to be utilized after-dark. Uniformity of light is crucial
to avoid 'dark' spots, especially in the parking areas.
o Any illumination shall not cause a glare or excessive brightness that adversely affects the vision of pedestrians or motor
vehicle operators on public or private property.
o We encourage the use of full cut-off light fixtures to help direct the light to the area you wish to illuminate. Pedestrian
walkways, back lanes and access routes open to public spaces should be lit so that a person with normal vision is able to
identify a face from a distance of 30 feet.
o Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security feature. Illumination, uniformity, and glare should
all be taken into consideration. Lighting fixtures should be reliable, easy to maintain, withstand the elements, and be
vandal-resistant.
Landscaping: Low-growing shrubs are an excellent means for defining an area that requires visual surveillance.
o All shrubs should be kept trimmed to no higher than 2 ½ feet and should not block windows.
o Tree branches should be kept trimmed to a minimum of 6 feet from the ground; branches should be kept away from
roofs; trees should not prevent building occupants from viewing entrances or sidewalks; tree canopies should not interfere with lighting or mechanical surveillance.
o A maintenance plan is essential in landscaping.
Exterior (non public) doors should be made of a solid material, metal frames, interior hinges and have 180° viewers/peep
holes or small windows.
A bicycle parking pad (if installed) should be observable from the building entrances, securely fastened and not hidden be
hind landscaping.
Ensure that any awnings or overhangs do not interfere with lighting if these locations are to be used during nighttime hours.
Personnel working the retail and lounge area should have unobstructed views of any customers and employees entering or
leaving the building and all access points to all parts of the facility.
3. Natural Access Control: Design the site to decrease crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in
offenders, a perception of risk. This can be accomplished by designing street, sidewalks, building and parking lot entrances
to clearly indicate public routes and discourage access to private areas with structural and landscape elements.
Public entrances should be clearly defined by signs, walkways and landscaping.
Landscaping used around the property should create clear way-finding, be well lit and not block entrances or create ambush
points.
There should be no easy access to the roof of the building.
If awnings are installed over exterior doors, ensure they do not block lighting of the doors.
Signs located in the parking lot should remind employees and patrons to lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight.
Way-finding located throughout the property should help guide users to authorized areas while discouraging potential offenders.
Signage with hours of operation should be clearly visible at any public entrance.

Traffic calming techniques as well as surface and gateway treatments should be used to encourage safe vehicle speeds, reduce collision frequency and increase the safety and the perception of safety for non-motorized users.
Walkways should be a minimum 6' in width to enhance pedestrian flow.
Territorial Reinforcement: Design can create or extend a sphere of influence, where users develop a sense of territorial control, while potential offenders are discouraged. This is promoted by features that define property lines and distinguish private
spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments and CPTED post and pillar
fences.
Low growing landscaping should be used to establish property boundaries. Hostile or thorny vegetation is encouraged to
deter potential offenders.
The business should have an address that is clearly visible from the parking lot and street with numbers a minimum of fiveinches high made of non-reflective material.
Maintenance is an important aspect of territorial reinforcement. A well-maintained area sends the message that people notice
and care about what happens in an area. This in turn discourages vandalism and other crimes.
Fences may be used to add security, delineate property lines, allow transparency for surveillance, be unobtrusive, and create
a sense of community. CPTED style post and pillar fencing, at least 6-foot in height, made of commercial grade steel is a
good option to consider. Another option for the perimeter of the property is landscape buffers, which include hostile vegetation, to delineate public from private spaces. The fencing and landscape buffers may also be used together to further define
public, semi-public and private spaces.
The use of bollards should be considered near any public entrance or any large windows to reduce the opportunity for potential offenders to use vehicles as weapons or tools to commit criminal acts on the property.
Target Hardening: This is accomplished by incorporating features that prohibit entry or access such as window locks, singlecylinder dead bolts for doors and interior door hinges.
Door locks should be located a minimum of 40 inches from adjacent windows.
An access control system should be utilized to keep private areas private such as employee break areas, storage rooms and
employee only entrances.
A security camera system capable of recording and retrieving an image to assist in offender identification and apprehension
should be installed. Interior security cameras should be mounted at an optimal height to capture offender identification
("aiming" down from the ceiling often results in images of the offender's hat). CCTVs should also be placed in several locations throughout the parking areas, especially areas with limited or no natural surveillance.
Consider including a commercial alarm system that is regularly maintained. During working hours, the alarm system should
be programmed so that a short beep is sounded if a door opens.
Non-public doors should be kept locked from the outside at all times. Internal policy should prohibit the "propping open" of
exterior doors.
OPD's Crime Prevention Unit encourages the use of tempered or impact resistant glass for all large glass doors and windows
or a security film (such as Lexan™) to reduce the opportunity for burglaries. If security film is utilized, ensure that the light
transmittance of the security film is greater than or equal to the light transmittance of the window's glass.
Air conditioner units should be caged and the cages should be securely locked to protect against theft and vandalism.
Additional precautions, such as silent alarms and other crime reduction strategies should be discussed with OPD's Crime Prevention Unit Master Police Officer Joseph Lundy, 407.246.2095.
Construction Site Protection. Due to the continued trend of theft of building materials and equipment from construction
sites, Orlando Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit strongly recommends that the developer institute the following
crime prevention/security measures at this project site:
a) Post signs at the site that theft from the site or trespassing on a construction site is a felony under Florida Law and that
the developer will prosecute.
b) To improve visibility of potential offenders by OPD patrol officers, perimeter lighting should be installed at a minimum
of 150 foot intervals and at a height not less than fifteen (15') from the ground. The light source used should have a
minimum light output of 2,000 lumens, shall be protected by a vandal resistant cover, and shall be lighted during the
hours of darkness.
c) In addition to lighting, one of the following physical security measures should be installed:
i. Fencing, not less than six (6') feet in height, which is designed to preclude human intrusion, should be installed along
the perimeter boundaries of the site and should be secured with chain and fire department padlocks for emergency
vehicle access; post in a clear area, an emergency contact person and phones numbers for after hours, in case of an

emergency; or
ii. A uniformed security guard should be hired to continually patrol the construction site during the hours when construction work has ceased.
d) Valuable construction materials and tools should be protected in a secondary fenced, locked cage.
e) Post in a clean, open area, the name and numbers of an emergency contact person for OPD in case of a night-time
emergency.
If you have any questions, please call the Crime Prevention Unit Master Police Officer Joseph Lundy, 407.246.2095.
Innovative Response to Improve Safety (I.R.I.S.) Camera System: OPD recommends that the developer contact OPD in an
effort to coordinate camera system technology. OPD has the ability to monitor specified external camera systems from private facilities at the will of the developer or building owner. OPD monitoring will be in addition to self- monitoring and will
not replace building camera monitoring. OPD will not have the ability to interfere with or manipulate building camera systems, only view. The additional monitoring is beneficial to both the developer/owner and OPD as a crime prevention and
overall public safety solution.
