existing family housing with 13 or more units per building is that by designating parking
spaces for specific residents or residences, the risk of parking vehicle bombs in those
parking areas is reduced due to increased awareness of the vehicles that are
authorized to park there.
2-4.6.2
Stand-Alone Franchised Food Operations, Shoppettes, Mini Marts,
Similarly Sized Commissaries, and Other Small Stand Alone Commercial
Facilities. These facilities by the nature of their smaller size and their operation require
parking in close proximity; therefore, they are exempted from the minimum standoff
distances for parking and roadways. Applying other upgrades required by these
standards is feasible, however, and will lessen the risk of mass casualties.
2-4.6.3
Gas Stations and Car Care Centers. These facilities are exempted from
these standards because, by the nature of their operation, cars must be allowed to be in
close proximity to them. Other measures included in these standards would be
ineffective in the absence of any control on vehicles.
2-4.6.4
Medical Transitional Structures and Spaces. These structures and
spaces may be required for limited durations to maintain mission-critical operations
during construction that require close proximity or physical connection to the existing
building undergoing construction. This may make compliance with some of the standoff
distance provisions of these standards impractical during the limited construction
duration.
2-4.6.5
Other Transitional Structures and Spaces. These structures and
spaces are exempted from some of the standoff distance provisions of these standards
because it would be impractical to apply them considering the limited less-than-1-year
duration of occupancy.
2-4.6.6
Recruiting Stations in Leased Spaces. These facilities are exempted
because their visibility and accessibility necessitate their being located in public spaces,
which makes requiring them to comply with these standards impractical. In addition, the
majority of these facilities do not have a sufficient population and population density to
meet the inhabited building standard.
2-4.6.7
Military Protective Construction. These facilities are exempted
because the military conventional and nuclear weapons threats to which they are
designed are much more stringent than those included in these standards. Facilities
designed to protective construction standards will provide higher levels of protection for
facility occupants than those required by these standards.
2-4.7
Policies and Procedures. Policies and procedures are a critical adjunct
to building standards. It is assumed that there are means to control access to controlled
perimeters, underground parking, and other locations where vehicle access needs to be
limited. It is further assumed that unusual packages or containers or improperly parked
vehicles will be recognized as potential terrorist threats and appropriate reactive
measures will be implemented to reduce the potential for casualties. Finally, it is
assumed that policies and procedures will be developed to support these and other
