ACQUISITION OF A PORTION OF 1400 FOUNTAINGROVE
PARKWAY FOR THE PERMANENT FIRE STATION NO. 5 REBUILD
PROJECT (FIRE STATION 5 RESILIENCY AND RELOCATION)
BACKGROUND: The City seeks to acquire an approximately 2.11-acre
portion of Keysight’s campus located at 1400 Fountaingrove Parkway,
Santa Rosa, CA (the “Property”) in order to relocate and rebuild Fire
Station 5, formerly located at 2201 Newgate Ct., following the original
station’s destruction in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Relocation of the
permanent Fire Station 5 to the proposed acquisition site will improve
service, allow for upstaffing, and serve as a forward command post in
the event of large emergencies.
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to
analyze and mitigate the potential environmental impacts associated
with the proposed acquisition and construction of a new 10,763 square
foot fire station on the Property. The IS/MND concludes that the
proposed project would not result in any significant or potentially
significant effects on the environment if the mitigation measures
identified in the IS/MND are adopted and made conditions of approval
of the proposed project.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department,
Transportation and Public Works Department and Real Estate Services
that Council, by resolution: 1) Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Permanent
City of Santa Rosa
