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