Renovation of a fire / police facility in Petaluma, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

Prior standard of coverage studies have determined that Fire Stations 2 and 3 are ideally situated to geographically provide the City of Petaluma with maximum response coverage in their perspective portions of the community. These stations were originally constructed in 1982 and 1971, respectively. To continue service to the community and to accommodate growth in both population and building density over the past few decades, the Department has set forth several goals and objectives for the renovation or replacement of these two fire stations. A needs analysis and recommendations for Fire Stations 2 and 3 were completed in October of 2012. At that time, it was determined that effective renovations of existing municipal facilities is generally a more cost-effective approach than constructing a new facility on an undeveloped building site, if such land were available that met the same or better standards of coverage than what is currently being provided. The needs analysis identified key factors that will be resolved with facility renovations or replacement to include correcting known building code deficiencies, ensuring seismic safety, accommodating personal privacy and a more diverse workforce, accommodating an expanded apparatus fleet, and correcting inadequate operational procedures based on current facility limitations. This CIP item will evaluate the current plans and recommendations from the 2012 analysis, evaluate other options, and provide recommendations that will assist with planning, timelines, and identifying funding for fire station upgrades or replacement. This project is in included in the City's or County's FY 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of June 20, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
