Petaluma Public Safety Facility (C11202431)

The project proposes construction of a new public safety facility consisting of a 34-foot-tall, two-story building with approximately 43,469 square feet of floor area, four fire apparatus bays, 124 surface parking spaces, an accessory storage and utility structure, a community plaza, landscaping, offsite utility and circulation improvements, and a new 60-foot monopole antennae, including equipment and appurtenances to support emergency response. The new facility will fully replace the City's existing Police Station located at 969 Petaluma Blvd N and will serve as the primary location for all police operations and administrative functions including patrol, investigations, dispatch, records, training, and command staff functions. The facility will also be used by the City's Fire Department as an administrative headquarters and active fire station containing 12 dorm rooms for personnel and internal circulation providing direct access to four fire apparatus bays. During citywide emergencies, the facility will also serve as the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC), providing a central coordination point. Frontage and off-site improvements include pedestrian and bicycle circulation improvements, vehicle circulation improvements, removal and replacement of street lighting, and extension of existing sewer and storm drain utilities.
