Planning Commission - 4/2/2026 - Agenda Item F2 - Fire Station No 3

The City of Oxnard Planning Commission meeting on April 2, 2026, focused on the proposed redevelopment of Fire Station No. 3. The project involves demolishing the existing 4,452 square foot single-story fire station and constructing a new 12,324 square foot two-story facility with accessory structures. Key procurement-related discussions included requests for a special use permit, a general plan amendment to change the land use designation from residential low-medium to public semi-public, a zone change to community reserve, and a zone text amendment to allow increased lot coverage. The project also required environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with mitigated negative declarations addressing biological, cultural, and geological concerns. Staff recommended approval of the special use permit, certification of the environmental documents, and adoption of related resolutions. The meeting covered project design, site selection, funding sources, and timelines, with staff and consultants available for questions.
