The subject property is approximately 0.29 acres, and contains an existing fire department building previously used as a vehicle maintenance facility. This proposed fire station will serve the existing and new developments in the area. The rezone and proposed development are not expected to impact access to the site and will have minimal impact to traffic patterns.
A concurrent development plan and subdivision plat are in the administrative review process. The proposed addition containing firefighter office and bunk space, along with proposed landscape and other site improvements, will convert the existing site to Fire Station No. 1. Moreover, additional landscaping, patio space for staff, parking improvements, and a screened utility area are proposed with the building expansion.
