10D. Relocation of Encinitas Fire Station #1 from 415 Second Street to a temporary\nfire station at the Pacific View Cultural Arts Center Property located at 608\nThird Street. Environmental Considerations: The project proposes the\ntemporary location of a fire support trailer and garage on a developed site.\nPursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines\nSections 15269(c), 15301(b), 150303(c),15303 (e) and 15303 (f), the project\nwould be exempt from environmental review. The relocation of Fire Station #1\nis necessary to address an emergency at the current location due to seismic\nsafety conditions of the existing building consistent with Section 15269(c) of\nthe CEQA Guidelines. The project is consistent with Section 15301(b)\nbecause it is located on a developed site with existing parking and utilities\nsuch as gas, sewer, water and electrical amenities. The project is also\nconsistent with Section 150303(c) because the total floor area of the two (2)\ntemporary buildings is less than the maximum 10,000-square foot floor area\nallowed under the exemption. Section 15303(e) exempts accessory\n(appurtenant) structures such as a garage. Section 15304(f) exempts minor\ntrenching conducted to connect to existing underground offsite utilities and the\nsurface would be restored. The project does not qualify as one of the\nexceptions prescribed under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines and no\nhistoric resources are affected by the proposed project.
