Two Rock Fire Department Use Permit Modification; File No. UPE23-0046

The proposed project seeks to modify an existing use permit to officially recognize the Two Rock Fire Department’s current essential services garage as a public safety facility, functionally serving as a fire station on a 0.84-acre parcel zoned for Land Extensive Agriculture with a Scenic Resources combining district. The request formalizes the facility’s role in public safety operations and clarifies the accessory activities permitted on-site, including equipment maintenance, volunteer training sessions, and meetings among emergency personnel. Minor but essential upgrades to the facility are also authorized, such as the installation of an ADA-compliant restroom and holding tank, new signage, disaster radio communication equipment, and perimeter fencing to enhance operational efficiency and compliance with accessibility and safety standards. The project is being pursued under File No. UPE23-0046 by the Two Rock Fire Department, with support from Sonoma County’s planning department, and is intended to align current use with regulatory requirements for the LEA-zoned land. While the structure is already in active use by the fire department, this modification formally establishes its status as a public safety facility under county permitting rules and ensures that its expanded functions and necessary improvements meet local zoning and public service standards. The initiative reflects a pragmatic adaptation of existing infrastructure to better serve community emergency needs without requiring new construction or changes to the parcel’s underlying zoning classification.
