BACKGROUND:
The City Urban Revitalization Corporation (CURC) negotiated with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians for the tribe to acquire CURC owned land, at the corner of Date Palm Dr. and East Palm Canyon. The City’s fire station #411 is currently located on a portion of the property. The proceeds from the sale of parcels to the tribe are earmarked, by CURC, for replacement of the fire station. The fire station will be situated on City owned land, located at Buddy Rogers Ave. and Date Palm Dr., on a portion of the site of the former Second Street Park.
CURC and fire department staff have been working with Griffin Structures Inc., Construction Management and LPA Architects on the site plans, floor plans and building elevations, which was previously presented to City Council for review and input on January 24, 2018.
The facility is designed for eight firefighter/paramedics and three emergency apparatus (ambulance, fire engine, and future ladder truck). The fire station is planned to serve the community for the next fifty years.
