AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approvali.G�
Item to be presented by: Jill Fosselman
DATE: February 25, 2003
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY FIRE STATION 104
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a Lease Agreement
for land with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the purpose of allowing
the Fire Department to house a temporary fire station on real property located at
26201 Golden Valley Road, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
Currently the City of Santa Clarita is served by seven fire stations throughout the
Santa Clarita Valley. The Fire Department is requesting the use of the land to build
Temporary Fire Station 104 on the twelve acres the City owns, adjacent to Golden
Valley Road. The area to be leased will not exceed two acres within the twelve acre
site. By adding a new fire station location to the Santa Clarita Valley it will reduce
response time for emergencies and also reduce cue times for other areas if the engine
from another station has already been deployed.
The lease agreement with the Los Angeles County Fire Department will state that
the Fire Department will have use of the land for three years and will pay the City
of Santa Clarita $1.00 a year for the land lease. The Los Angeles County Fire
Department will be responsible for all costs involved in constructing, maintaining
and removing the temporary station, including utilities and necessary
infrastructure. Los Angeles County Fire Department will be responsible for
obtaining all appropriate environmental reviews and permits. Per Section 65402 of
the Government Code for the State of California, the Director of Planning and
Building Services has found that the leasing of City owned property for a temporary
fire station is consistent with the City of Santa Clarita General Plan.

responsible for all costs involved in restoring the site to its original form, if
requested by the City of Santa Clarita.
