8E. Approval of Plans and Specifications for the Temporary Fire Station #1 at Pacific View Project (CF25A) and Approval of Budget Resolution to Fund the Project. Environmental Considerations: The project proposes to temporarily locate a fire station 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 with surface restoration. No historic resources are affected by the proposed project.
