Intent <br /> <br /> Integrate site planning principles, such as easy surveillance of common areas <br /> and walkways by residents, into the design of new multi-family developments to <br /> lessen the likelihood of crime within the development. <br /> <br />b, Design Guidelines and Standards <br /> <br /> i.

Applicants are encouraged to consult with the <br /> Overland Park Police Department and Planning and Development Services <br /> Department regarding implementation of CPTED principles to multi-family <br /> developments.

Space within the development and along the edges should <br /> be well defined and delineated to' create a sense of'ownership, such that <br /> intruders and strangers stand out.

Maximize a space's visibility through thoughtful design of building <br /> orientation, window placement, entrances and exits, landscaping of trees <br /> and shrubs, and other physical obstructions. Utilize nighttime <br /> illumination of parking lots, walkways, entrances, stairwells, and related <br /> areas that promote an environment in which natural surveillance is <br /> possible. <br /> <br /> (c) Access Control.
