January Meeting Recap
In January, the Brentwood City Council received its first look at Fire Station 90 as Contra Costa County Fire Protection District provided a presentation.
Chief Aaron McAlister provided some designs, information and highlighted the facility and what they intend to house at the fire station – noting it will be larger than the downtown station while Station 89 will soon be built in the City of Antioch near Kaiser.
Within Station 90, they will house both a fire engine and ladder truck which will allow the District to have future expansion capabilities. It is located on 5-acres. The engine would exit the station onto Lone Tree Way.
He shared during the community meeting, they hear “loud and clear” the fence line and landscaping around the gate they will need to pay special attention to which they will take into account when submitting planning. The community wanted to ensure the gate was as high as possible and make every effort to keep light within the fire district property while architectural pleasing.
The station will also have a 24-hour small police substation that will not impact firefighters.
“At full build out, this station will accommodate 8 fire staff in a 24-hour basis—including paramedic services.
Council Feedback:
Vice Mayor Pa’tanisha Pierson stated the station looked like an “auto repair center” or a Big 5 and questioned the white feature—if it was brick. She acknowledged it was a first design.
McAlister acknowledged the challenge given the neighboring structures from a church, a big box store to neighbors—he called the challenge was attempting to blend things together but were open to changes.
According to the design team, the white material was a “cement board textured panel” which is similar to the church next door.
Councilmember Jovita Mendoza shared the residents did not want a gate on Windy Springs and suggested it be moved off the residential street. She also said the residents made it clear they did not like the architecture. She said the residents wanted the fire station to look more like their homes and less like the church.
“I think that is something you might want to look at because when it comes back to planning and to us, we all know what happens with architecture here in our city. I would just say if we could address their concerns,” said Mendoza.
Councilmember Faye Maloney said the main concern was a taller wall with vegetation with the gate being a main concern with the access to the youth center. She encouraged the fire district to educate the community that the fire station did not provide access to the youth center. She called the noise a concern.
Mayor Susannah Meyer said she was happy to see the fire station at the location but was surprised by the design. She said based off the conversation on the last fire station (downtown) that there would be an understanding of standards that Brentwood looks for.
“I do hope that that there are some opportunities to go back and make it blend more,” stated Meyer but said the landscaping looked great.
