Planning Commission - 4/2/2026 - Agenda Item F3 - Fire Station No 2

The City of Oxnard Planning Commission meeting on April 2, 2026, focused on the proposed demolition and reconstruction of Fire Station No. 2. The project involves replacing the existing 4,145 square foot single-story fire station with a new 12,585 square foot two-story facility, including accessory structures. Key agenda items included approval of a special use permit and a zone text amendment to allow increased lot coverage and compliance with the community reserve zone requirements. The project design features modern facilities to accommodate up to 10 fire personnel per shift, including living quarters, office space, and apparatus bays for fire engines and a ladder truck. Environmental review was completed with a mitigated negative declaration, and public outreach included an open house with no opposition received. Staff recommended adoption of resolutions certifying the environmental review and approving the project permits, with discussions covering design, funding, and timelines.
