PD-4. Exterior Door Illumination. All exterior doors shall have a vandal resistant light
fixture installed above the door. The doors shall be illuminated with a minimum one-

The address shall be oriented to the street and placed as closely as possible to the
edge of the building closest to the street.
PD-11. Public Telephones. Any public telephones located on the exterior of the buildings
shall be placed in a well-lit, highly visible area, and installed with a "call-out only"
feature to deter loitering. This feature is not required for public telephones installed
within the interior of the buildings.
PD-12. Disable Parking. All disabled parking stalls on the premises shall be marked in
accordance with Section 22511.8 of the California Vehicle Code.
PD-13. Crime Prevention Through Design. Crime prevention through environmental design,
as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI), supports the
concept that "the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead
to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality
of life." The nine primary strategies that support this concept are included below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border
definition may include fences, shrubbery, or signs in exterior areas. Within a
building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means
of identifying controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify
when they are moving from public to semi-public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a
location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users
due to observation and possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of
natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the
users of the areas feel safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that
may conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area,
for example) by distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk
for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance
and intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal
users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention.
Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide such a perception of
surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and design
efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
