6.1.5 Checklist – Site and Layout Design Guidance

  • Provide a continuous line of defense around the site as far from the building as practical.
  • Place vehicular access points away from oncoming streets.
  • Limit the number of vehicular entrances through the secured perimeter line
  • Use a series of landscape features to create an obstacle course between the building and the perimeter. This approach is most effective if used in areas where there is ample setback.
  • Design planters for the design-level impact to displace the planter a distance less than the setback.
  • Use anti-ram barriers along curbs, particularly on sides of the building that have a small setback and in areas where high-velocity impact is possible.
  • Use operable anti-ram barriers at vehicular access points. Select barriers rated to provide the desired level of protection against the design impact.
