Plan Review Recommendations
The following are optimal security suggestions provided by the
Carlsbad Police Department. The purpose is to create an atmosphere that
is free from crime opportunities. The recommendations are presented in
two sections, site considerations and building recommendations.
A. Site lssueg
A-1 Lighting
It is suggested that aisles, passageways, and recesses related
to and within the building complex should be illuminated with an
intensity of at least twenty-five one hundredths (.25) footcandles
at the ground level during the hours of darkness. Lighting devices
should be protected by weather and vandalism-resistant covers.
Open parking lots should be provided with a maintained
minimum of one (1) footcandle of light on the parking surface
during the hours of darkness. White lights provide better vision and
surveillance capabilities than do yellow lights. Lighting devices
should be protected by weather and vandalism covers.
The main entry and rear dock area should be given additional
lighting during hours of darkness.
A-2 Landscaping
The exterior landscaping should be kept at a minimal height
and fullness giving police, security services and the general public
surveillance capabilities of the area. Landscaping should be
designed to not detract from lighting. Low level plants should be
planted in front of windows so as to not cover windows. All
entrances should be kept clear of clutter. Perimeter landscaping
should not take away from vision into the property.
Security plants should be applied where necessary to prevent
loitering and tampering.
Burms should b kept at a minimum when they detract from
surveillance.
A-3 Storage Bins
Storage or disposal bins should be located away from the area
of any loading or receiving area.
A - 4 Addressing
A street number should be displayed on a prominent location on
the street side of the building. The number should be placed in a
position that is easily visible to emergency vehicles to hasten their
approach. The numbers should be no less than four (4) inches in
height and should be of a contrasting color to the building to which
they are attached.
