ITEM EXPLANATION: Fire Station No. 5 is the central receiving and storage location for all fire stations in the City. Due to a number of factors, such as providing expanded emergency medical services, the storage capacity at Fire Station No. 5 has been exhausted and storage is occurring in areas designed for other active uses. The Skate Park, which is located immediately adjacent to Fire Station No. 5, does not have a permanent restroom facility and, as a result, the users of the facility are using a portable facility or in some cases they are requesting to use the facilities at Fire Station No. 5. To provide storage for Fire Station No. 5 and a public restroom for the Skate Park, the subject project was developed as a single structure that will house both facilities. The 2,860 square foot facility consists of 2,620 square feet of storage area and a separate 240 square foot public restroom facility. The storage area consists of 1,635 square feet of storage on the ground floor and 985 square feet of storage on a mezzanine level. The public restroom facility consists of separate men's and women's restrooms, a janitors closet, and vending areas adjacent to the restrooms. The structure will be located on the east side of the Fire Station No. 5 property as indicated on the attached location map. The storage facility will be oriented towards the Fire Station to the west and the restrooms will face the Skate Park to the east. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: On May 15, 2000, the Carlsbad Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4806 approving Conditional Use Permit CUP 88-06 for the Fire Station No. 5 StorageEkate Park Restroom project. The project was exempt from CEQA based on the provisions of Section 15303, which exempts small structures from environmental review. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated costs to complete this project are: The current construction cost estimate was developed based on recent bid prices which were higher than previously anticipated. To provide sufficient funds for the project, at this time staff is recommending the appropriation of an additional $60,000 in General Capital Construction Funds. EXHIBITS: 1. Location map. 2.
