A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE
TEMPORARY FIRE STATION NO. 7 PROJECT
Exhibit 1
WHEREAS, on May 11, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-111, approving the
work plan to achieve the City Council goal of "Bring the Fire Department into conformance with
standards of cover evaluation"; and
WHEREAS, on June 8, 2021, the City Council approved Temporary Fire Station No. 7, Capital
Improvement Program, or CIP, Project No . 4091 and appropriated $900,000 for the project; and
WHEREAS, staff identified a site located on the NRG property for Temporary Fire Station No. 7,
which is located east of Carlsbad Boulevard, immediately south of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, located
at 4600 Carlsbad Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, due to various reasons including a change of location from the original proposed
sites, unanticipated utility costs, material cost increases due to inflation, additional operational needs,
more granularity on consultant fees, and license costs, the current estimated cost is $1,783,770; and
WHEREAS, additional appropriation of $922,000 is requested to complete the project; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funding of $922,000 in the Public Facility Fee Fund is available; and
WHEREAS, the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that
the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and
it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15301 (b) -"existing facilities"; 15303 (c) -"construction or conversion
of small structures"; and 15304 (f) -"minor alterations to land" of the CEQA Guidelines. In making this
determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state
CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. The project is consistent with 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 consistent with Section 15303 (c) because the two temporary buildings that
would house a maximum of seven staff members and would contain two offices are each less than
2,000 square feet and combined are less than 6,000 square feet. The project is consistent with Section
15304 (f) because there will be minor trenching conducted in order to connect to existing underground
utilities and the surface would be restored.
