| Comments: POLICE - VANN, KIMBERLY TO: Planning Office FROM: Henrico County Division of Police, Community Policing Unit SUBJECT: LP/POD2006-00090 Vanguard Car Rental DATE: April 17, 2007 LP/POD2006-00090 Vanguard Car Rental V-262 The Division of Police recommends approval with the below requirements addressed or met. SECTION I. ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN ORDER FOR THE DIVISION OF POLICE TO ENDORSE THIS PLAN: All shrubs and trees should be trimmed to allow for maximum visibility to and from the site and from within the site. Shrubs should have a natural growth height of no more than 2 ½ to 3 feet, or be maintained at this height, especially when located along an entrance, walkway or parking area. SECTION II. IMPLEMENT THE FOLLOWING SECURITY STANDARDS: Landscaping 1. The landscape plan should show the light pole locations as well. 2. All shrubs and trees should be trimmed to allow for maximum visibility to and from the site and from within the site. Shrubs should have a natural growth height of no more than 2 ½ to 3 feet, or be maintained at this height, especially when located along an entrance, walkway or parking area. 3. Trees should have a natural growth with limbs at least 4 feet off the ground, or be maintained with the canopy raised, especially when located along a building entrance, walkway or parking area. 4. The location of light poles and their relationship to the trees throughout the parking lot and along the building edge needs to be considered. The two should not be located in the same area, as illumination will be reduced as the tree matures. Lighting 5. The minimum maintained light level should be no lower than 1.0 foot-candles throughout the parking areas, walkways, building entrance and building edge. 6. The lights throughout the site should be the same. The emphasis is to have the same color of light (white or orange/yellow) throughout. This will provide good color rendition, help with visibility and reduce contrasts. Metal Halide is preferred. 7. All light fixtures need to be full cut-off. 8. The type of light fixture the Division of Police requires is one that puts the light down on the ground, versus horizontally and up in the air. Many of the decorative light fixtures put the light everywhere but where you want it, which is on the ground. If decorative fixtures are installed, they should have the bulb in the top casing of the fixture so that the light will be directed towards the ground (see photo). This will also avoid glare because you don?t actually see the bulb. 9. Lighting is one of the most economical and effective forms of crime prevention available. Lighting must be even and uniform and not produce dark areas or sharp contrasts for concealment. 10. In creating uniform lighting, consider: a)type of fixture b)the height of poles c)the direction of the light d)the spacing of fixtures The Division of Police supports and implements Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which is the theory that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the incidence and fear of crime and an improvement in the quality of life. The following characteristics need to be in place at this site. 1. Natural Surveillance. Provide natural surveillance throughout the site, especially to parking areas, buildings, building entrances, walkways, etc. Natural surveillance is the placement of physical features, activities and people in such a way as to maximize visibility. 2. Natural Access Control. Provide natural access control throughout the site. Natural access control is the physical guidance of | |||||
