City Council 06 30 2026 Agenda Item M 1 Fire Station No 3

The City Council of Oxnard held a meeting on June 30, 2026, to consider several planning and zoning actions related to the redevelopment of Fire Station No. 3 located at 150 Hill Street. The agenda included a general plan amendment, zone change, zone text amendment, and a special use permit to facilitate the construction of a new two-story fire station. The project involves increasing lot coverage from 25% to approximately 33.6%, adding facilities such as a fueling station, hose drying tower, emergency generator, and living quarters for up to 11 fire personnel per shift. The Planning Commission had previously approved the special use permit and recommended City Council approval of the related environmental and zoning actions. The City Council was asked to certify the mitigated negative declaration under CEQA, approve the general plan amendment and zone change to community reserve (CR), and adopt the zone text amendment to allow increased lot coverage. These actions will enable the replacement of the existing outdated fire station to better meet operational needs. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
