BACKGROUND: The City seeks to acquire an approximately 2.11-acre

portion of Keysight’s campus located at 1400 Fountaingrove Parkway,

Santa Rosa, CA (the “Property”) in order to relocate and rebuild Fire

Station 5, formerly located at 2201 Newgate Ct., following the original

station’s destruction in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Relocation of the

permanent Fire Station 5 to the proposed acquisition site will improve

service, allow for upstaffing, and serve as a forward command post in

the event of large emergencies.

An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), and Mitigation

Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been prepared in

accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to

analyze and mitigate the potential environmental impacts associated

with the proposed acquisition and construction of a new 10,763 square

foot fire station on the Property. The IS/MND concludes that the

proposed project would not result in any significant or potentially

significant effects on the environment if the mitigation measures

identified in the IS/MND are adopted and made conditions of approval

of the proposed project.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department,

Transportation and Public Works Department and Real Estate Services

that Council, by resolution: 1) Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration

and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Permanent

Fire Station No. 5 Relocation and Rebuild Project (Fire Station 5

Resiliency and Relocation); 2) Approve the Project; 3) Approve the

acquisition of approximately 2.11 acres of a portion of 1400

Fountaingrove Parkway, Santa Rosa, CA, APN 173-670-022, for the

new Fire Station 5; and 4) Authorize the Assistant City Manager or
