ARTIC Mixed-Use District Conceptual ... - City of Anaheim

Install minimum 8-foot high walls or fencing around
all maintenance areas and other areas that need to
remain secure. Utilize surveillance cameras as deemed
necessary and appropriate.
Install surveillance cameras throughout the ARTIC Mixed-
Use District, including public plazas, outdoor gathering
areas and pick-up/drop-off areas.
Design the ARTIC Mixed-Use District as a series of
public, semi-public and limited access areas. Security
measures should become tighter and more restrictive
as individuals progress from the public to semi-public to
limited access areas.
4.7.1 Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED)
CPTED involves four key strategies designed to lead to
a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an
improvement in the quality of life. These strategies are:
»
Natural Surveillance: Keep intruders observable
by maximizing visibility of people, parking areas and
building entrances, doors and windows that look onto
streets, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and streets, and
adequate nighttime lighting. Evening activities are also
encouraged to keep areas active and help put “eyes on
the street.”

4 • Public Realm Guidelines
Territorial Reinforcement: Physical design can create
or extend a sphere of influence. Users then develop
a sense of territorial control while potential offenders,
perceiving this control, are discouraged. This may
include features such as clearly defined property lines,
distinctions between private and public areas, gateway
treatments, entry designs, and “CPTED” fences.
Natural Access Control: A design concept directed
primarily at decreasing crime opportunity by denying
access to crime targets and creating in offenders a
perception of risk. This type of control is gained by
designing streets, sidewalks, building entrances and
gateways to clearly indicate public routes and discourage
access to private areas with structural elements.
Target Hardening: Accomplished by features that
prohibit entry or access, such as window locks, dead
bolts for doors, interior door hinges.
4.7.2 Secured-by-Design Principles to
Creating Safer Public Spaces
Secured-by-Design Principles were developed in 2004 by
the Association of Chief Police Officers Crime Prevention
Initiatives Limited, London, United Kingdom. These
principles include:
»
»
Contextual Design: Function, location, layout and
detailed design need to be carefully thought through
with regard to social and environmental contact. Well
defined and designed routes, spaces and entrances
provide for convenient movement without compromising
security. Clear sightlines enhance perceived and actual
safety.
Social Design: Create public spaces that serve as
important social and community gathering spaces since
such spaces tend to be well used and offer a wealth of
