The proposed project would involve acquisition of 2.55 acres and the construction of a new fire station and accessory structures totaling ~14,000 sf to improve service to the Montecito area. Preliminary plans for the Station include construction of three buildings; a main station of 7,000 sf with apparatus bays, offices, and firefighter residential quarters; a support building of 4,800 sf with a hose drying tower of up to 35 feet in height, and an additional support building of 2,975 sf for carports and storage of reserve apparatus. Paved surfaces would occupy ~1.5 acres of the 2.55 acre site with landscaping covering~1 acre or ~40% of the site. Access would be available off East Valley Road via two driveways.
