P24-0596, 0 Vineyard Avenue Zoning Administrator 9 of 14 Figure 4: Striping Detail Public Safety At hearings for the General Plan Amendments and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Amendments related to this project, members of the public raised concerns about public safety at the lot and on the trail. Neighbors noted that the loop road and cul-de-sacs are often used to park vehicles associated with unwelcome behaviors. The design of the project implements two key aspects of crime prevention through environmental design principles (CPTED): natural surveillance and natural access control. By building homes on this vacant parcel there will be more “eyes on the street,” which increases perceived risk to offenders. Additionally, in response to neighbor concern, the applicant is installing bollards on the south end of the loop road, so that people may not drive their vehicles behind the project site.
