Two-story addition proposed for historic fire station at 1103 Soquel Avenue

In plain English

The commission would decide whether to approve a historic alteration permit to build a two-story addition to the existing fire station at 1103 Soquel Avenue, which is listed on the city's Historic Building Survey and sits in the Public Facilities zone. Staff recommends approval with conditions, and the project is proposed as exempt from further environmental review.

We explain items like this one from the staff report, and we haven't found it yet (it may not be posted). We check twice a day; until then, see the official documents below.
