CAO RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the mitigated negative declaration of environmental impact. 2. Adopt a resolution amending the general plan Land Use Element map to change the designation of a 2.4 acre site at 2160 Santa Barbara Street from Service- Commercial/Light-Industrial to Public/Semipublic. 3. Introduce an ordinance to print, rezoning the subject site from Service-Commercial (C-S) to Public Facility (PF). DISCUSSION Situation The Fire Department is proposing that the City acquire from Southern California Gas Company a 2.4 acre site for the purpose of establishing a new headquarters fire station. The new facility would replace Fire Station#1 at the comer of Garden and Pismo streets,which is constructed of unreinforced masonry. The project site is currently zoned C-S, which does not allow fire stations. Therefore, changes to the general plan map and to the zoning map are necessary, prior to considering a use permit request for the proposed new public facilities. Data Summary Owner: Southern California Gas Company Applicant: City Fire Department General Plan Designation: Service-Commercial / Light-Industrial Zoning: C-S Environmental Status: The Director approved a mitigated negative declaration of environmental impact on April 15, 1993. Action Deadline: None required by State law for a legislative act. Site Description The Southern California Gas Company site is relatively flat and almost entirely paved. The yard setback along Santa Barbara Street is minimally.landscaped with ornamental exotics. 3-1 41111%apalp city Of San _. is oBispo L HN A COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT The only significant vegetation on site is a large Sycamore tree near the comer of Santa Barbara and Broad streets. One of the two structures on the property is a garage for vehicle maintenance. The other contains a large warehouse and administrative offices. Southern California Gas Co. employs approximately 35 employees at this site. Most perform field work and service calls. The site is located next to a major intersection and surrounded by a variety of commercial land uses, including warehousing, a lumber yard and hardware store, and a restaurant. To the south, separated by an undeveloped 60-foot right-of-way extension of South Street, is a vacant parcel zoned for neighborhood commercial uses. Please refer to the attached vicinity map. Project Description The only aspect of the project being considered by the Council at this time is the general plan amendment and rezoning. A specific design for the fire station has not yet been submitted. The Fire Department is working with the local architectural firm of Ross, Levine, MacIntyre, and Varner on site planning and building design. Preliminary studies indicate that part of the building would be two stories. The building would include crew living quarters, parking bays for fire trucks, administrative offices, and meeting/training rooms. It is possible that one of the existing building could be retrofitted, rather than demolished. General Plan Consistency The project is consistent with public facilities policies in the Land Use Element,which state, 'The city will locate its facilities...to: (a) Remove nonconforming uses from residential neighborhoods. (b) Foster convenient public access to those uses serving the public directly. (c) Group related public facilities together. (d) Locate facilities with significant numbers -of employees or clients near complementary non-governmental services (such as restaurants and convenience shopping). (e) Make economical use of land and buildings already owned by public agencies and minimize the displacement of existing private businesses or residents." The project is neutral with respect to "a" and "c". The project is generally consistent with item "b" since fire stations usually have minimal public visitation, and since visitor parking will be more convenient at the proposed location than at the present location. Regarding item "d" there will typically be a maximum of 15 to 20 employees on site at any one time. There are a few nearby complementary services available and potential for more in the future, given the commercial zoning of surrounding sites. Regarding item "e" the project does not involve displacement of residents or private businesses. Southern California Gas Company has outgrown its Santa Barbara Street site and intends to relocate its corporation flmllftfcity of san i is owpo COUNCIL AGENDA DEPORT yard to a new site along Broad Street at Industrial Way. Rezoning the site from Service-Commercial (C-S) to Public Facility (PF) will not result in a shortage of available sites for service commercial and light industrial uses. The city currently has roughly 35 acres of vacant land zoned C-S, and roughly 240 acres of developed land zoned C-S. The project is consistent with the Public Safety Element, since it would improve the City's emergency response capability by providing a fire station.meeting current earthquake standards. Locating a fire station at this site will improve overall response time by allowing immediate access to three major arterials. Also, the proposed location is outside the 100- year floodplain, while the existing location is within an area subject to flooding one to two feet deep approximately once in 100 years. Other Siting Considerations Before the Southern California Gas property became available, the City had plans for constructing a fire station at the Emerson School site. Because the current proposal will be surrounded by commercial rather than residential uses, compatibility issues related to noise and emergency vehicle traffic are much less significant. The Fire Department also favors the current proposal because of its strategic position relative to key arterial streets in the city. PREVIOUS HEARING/PUBLIC COMMENT On April 28, 1993, the Planning Commission voted six to one to 1) concur with the conclusions and recommended mitigation in the initial environmental study; 2) recommend approval of the proposed general plan map amendment and rezoning; and 3) find that once the land use designation for 2160 Santa Barbara Street is changed to Public/Semipublic, the purchase of the property by the City and use of the property for a proposed fire station will . be consistent with the general plan. At the meeting, two members of the public expressed concern with the project. A representative from Mid-State Bank noted that Council decisions regarding the siting of a new fire station and a possible extension of South Street would affect the ultimate feasibility of developing a commercial shopping center on properties adjacent to 2160 Santa Barbara Street and the Mid-State Bank property. The minister from the Church of Christ at 2201 Lawton Avenue objected to the proposed new fire station on the grounds that emergency response sirens and radio communication would interfere with church services and the churches public announcement system. In response, Erwin Willis of the Fire Department explained that sirens will not be necessary until the fire engines are out of the immediate vicinity since drivers will have the capability of controlling signalization at the intersection. Therefore, noise impacts on nearby uses, such as the church,.would be minimized. 3-3 901111 city or san '.lis 081sp0 COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT The Planning Commission concluded their action with a further recommendation that specific site planning designs should explore the feasibility of a public facility/commercial mixed-use project on the subject site and adjacent properties.

This project also involves a change to the general plan Land Use Element map to ensure consistency between the general plan and the zoning map. No specific development plans have been submitted. The Fire Department is currently worldng with a local architectural firm on site planning and building design. The Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Commission will hold public hearings to review development plans, once they are completed. The ordinance determines that there will be no significant adverse environmental impacts as a result of amending the zoning map. The Council must vote again to approve the rezoning before it can take effect. That action is scheduled for . 1993, at a regular meeting of the City Council to begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 990 Palm Street. Copies of the complete ordinance are available in the City Clerk's Office (Room#1) at City Hall, 990 Palm Street.

The City is conducting this initial environmental review now to identify any potentially significant impacts before acquiring the site and authorizing further design work. A specific design has not been developed. Preliminary studies, however, indicate that part of the building would be two stories. The building would include crew living quarters, parking bays for fire trucks, administrative offices, and meeting/training rooms. The new facility would replace Fire Station #1at the comer of Garden and Pismo streets, which is constructed of unreinforced masonry. Future use of the Fire Station #1 .site has not been decided. The.proposed Southern California Gas Company site is relatively flat. Almost the entire site is paved. The yard setback along Santa Barbara Street is minimally landscaped with ornamental exotics. The only significant vegetation on site is a large Sycamore tree near the comer of Santa Barbara and Broad streets. One of the two structures on the property is a garage for vehicle maintenance. The other contains a large warehouse and administrative offices. Southern California Gas Co. employs approximately 35 employees at this site. Most perform field work and service calls. The site is located next to a major intersection and surrounded by a variety of commercial land uses, including warehousing, a lumber yard and hardware store, and a restaurant. To the south, separated by an undeveloped 60-foot right-of-way extension of South Street, is a vacant parcel zoned for neighborhood commercial uses. Please refer to the attached vicinity map. POTENTIAL IMPACT REVIEW A. Community plans and goals The general plan Land Use Element map designates the site as "commercial-service/light industrial". The site is zoned C-S, which does not allow fire stations. Changes to the general plan map and to the zoning map, therefore, are necessary prior to considering a use permit request for the proposed new public facilities.. 313 1 ER 45-93/GPR 45-93 Rezoning for new fire station 2160 Santa Barbara Street The project is consistent with public facilities policies in the Land Use Element, which state, "The city will locate its facilities...to: (a) Remove nonconforming uses from residential neighborhoods. (b) Foster convenient public access to those uses serving the public directly. (c) Group related public facilities together. (d) Locate facilities with significant numbers of employees or clients near complementary non-governmental services (such as restaurants and convenience shopping). (e) Make economical use of land and buildings already owned by public agencies and min;mie the displacement of existing private businesses or residents." The project is neutral with respect to "a" and "c". The project is generally consistent with item "b" since fire stations typically have minimal public visitation, and since visitor parking will be more convenient at the proposed location than at the present location. Regarding item "d" there will typically be a maximum of 15 to 20 employees on site at any one time. There are a few nearby complementary services available and potential for more in the future, given the commercial zoning of surrounding sites. Regarding item "e" the project does not involve displacement of residents or private businesses. Southern California Gas Company has outgrown its Santa Barbara Street site and intends to relocate its corporation yard to a new site along Tank Farm Road. Rezoning the site from Service-Commercial (C-S) to Public Facilities (PF) will not result in a shortage of available sites for service commercial and light industrial uses. The city currently has roughly 35 acres of vacant land zoned GS, and roughly 240 acres of developed land zoned C-S. Mitigation: E Prior to approving a use permit for the project, the City will amend the Land Use Element map and the official zoning map to rezone the site.from C-S to PF. Monitoring. Planning staff review. Conclusion: With mitigation, there are no significant impacts related to consistency with adopted land use policy. D. Transvortation and circulation The site has immediate access to three major arterial streets which should improve _ i ER 45-93/GPR 45-93 Rezoning for new fire station 2160 Santa Barbara Street overall emergency response times. Figure 2.4 "Existing Daily Traffic Volumes" (Circulation Study prepared by DKS Associates, December 1988) illustrates the relative traffic volume on the streets adjacent to the site. Traffic counts from Cal Trans, dated June, 1992, indicate a level of service "D" during the peak period of daily traffic volume (3:30 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.). Drivers sometimes have to wait through more than one red light cycle, however queuing at the intersection dissipates easily. This is a heavily travelled corridor, mainly as a result of traffic generated by development in the airport area. The existing fire station, which this project will replace, produces about 3,800 emergency response trips per year (an average of about 10 trips per day). This number is expected to stay the same or decline, as replacement construction and retrofitting with fire sprinklers reduce the number of vehicle trips for fire response. Additional daily trips would be generated by the 15 to 20 employees on site and occasional visitors. The fire station will have fewer employees than the current use (20 vs 35), and its operation will by nature necessitate fewer vehicle trips than those associated with gas company service calls. Rezoning the site from Service-Commercial to Public Facilities should have the effect of reducing potential traffic impacts in the long term, since current zoning would allow for uses and site development that would generate substantially more traffic than the proposed fire station. Currently vehicle entrance to the site is from Roundhouse Avenue. One advantage of this site is that it can be accessed from four sides. Please refer to the zoning/vicinity map. The site development proposal should be coordinated with any plans the City Council might endorse for providing a future connection between South Street and Bishop Street across the railroad tracks. See the attached Figure S-5 'New Roadways" (City-Wide Transportation Study prepared by DKS and Associates, July 1990). To ensure safe and quick passage through the three-way intersection at Broad, South, and Santa Barbara streets, the City will need to install an emergency preemption device (e.g- an Opticom system) to allow emergency response vehicles to control signalization. Mitigation: ■ Prior to occupancy and utilization of a new fire station, the City shall install an emergency preemption device to enable emergency response vehicles to control signalization at the intersection of Broad, South, and Santa Barbara street. Monitoring- Planning staff review of building permit application will ensure compliance with approved traffic and circulation mitigations. 3`I 1 ER 45-93/GPR 45-93 Rezoning for new fire station .2160 Santa Barbara Street Conclusion: The amount of traffic generated by a new fire station.beyond traffic generated by the current use on site will not significantly impact traffic flow on adjacent streets. Signalization control will enable efficient access by response vehicles to major arterials. F. Utilities Demand for city water (roughly 8,100 acre feet per year) currently exceeds safe annual yield of supplies (7,735 acre feet per year). The City has responded by adopting measures to limit water allocation and require retrofitting of existing plumbing fixtures. These measures would apply to any further development or change of use on the site, and will mitigate potential water use impacts. Conclusion: There are no potentially significant impacts. G. Noise Sirens from emergency response vehicles typically exceed 100 decibels. There will be an average of 10 siren trips per day from this site. The impact of siren noise on people worldng or living in the vicinity will be lessened by the fact that the noise source is mobile and, therefore, exposure to annoying levels of noise will be of short duration. Residential uses are most sensitive to noise exposure. The Noise Element indicates that the maximum acceptable exterior noise exposure for residential uses is 60 Ldn', while the maximum acceptable level for certain commercial uses is as high as 80 Ldn. There are about 40 dwellings within 300 feet of the existing fire station headquarters, and only 2 dwellings within 300 feet of the proposed location. Therefore, the direct effect on nearby residents will be greatly reduced. Outside the immediate area of the station, emergen y response routes are similar and there would be no significant change from current noise impacts. Conclusion: There are no potentially significant noise impacts associated with this project. P. Other: Possible Soil Contamination Because of past uses on this site related to gas manufacturing and possibly associated with Southern Pacific Railroad's use of the property, the City is requiring an extensive environmental site investigation prior to completing purchase negotiations. ' Ldn: Day-Night Noise Level. Noise exposure over an average 24-hour period. 3-1 Co ER 45-93/GPR 45-93 �., Rezoning for new fire station 2160 Santa Barbara Street Mitigation: E A hazardous material abatement plan shall be submitted to the Community Development Department which includes: a. A Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment indicating the extent, type, and location of contamination. b. If soil contamination is found, the plan shall demonstrate how the site will be restored.. Monitoring: Results of the environmental assessments will be reviewed by the Community development Director and by the Fire Chief. If the assessments conclude that soil restoration is necessary, methods for achieving restoration shall be included as conditions of use permit approval. Site restoration shall be complete prior to issuance of building permits for any proposed new construction. Conclusion: Environmental impacts related to soil contamination may be significant. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the project be granted a negative declaration of environmental impact subject to the mitigations and monitoring programs outlined above. 347 GP 45-93 SERVICE-COMMERCIAL/LIGHT-INDUSTRIAL TO PUBLIC FACILITY Zzase• °>ei:`.

We have been located at this site for over 19 years. 2.The possibility of interference with our public address system by communications signals.We would hold the fire department responsible to upgrade or alter our present system to screen out such signals. 3.We would much rather favor the Albertson neighborhood shopping area as has been proposed and is much needed in this part of town. We already have to go a great distance to shop for groceries and other such items. And now there are plans to move one of the stores even further from the area. 4.It seems to be very inconsistent to purchase new property(the fire department already owns Emer- son School property) when the city is already laying of personnel and talk of further cut backs in fire personnel. No one else in private circles can do business like this or they would go bankrupt. 5.The intersection of South,Broad,&Santa Barbara Streets is much too busy to add another haz- ard. The fire department talks of stopping all traffic in time of emergency. Traffic already is backed up a couple of blocks just in normal situations. Can.you imagine what will happen as three or four emergency vehicles roll from 2160 Santa Barbara and from the 2200 block of Broad(site of San Luis Ambulance)? Thank you for this opportunity to voice our opposition. COPIFSTO:.
