Working Group Charge

• The FS8HL Working Group will develop a report

as part of the new fire station to be built at 4845 Lee

Highway.

Charge (cont.)

• Recommendations may address the following elements:

• The exterior of the station and site (i.e. distinctive architectural

features, signage, creative use of color and materials, lighting,

landscaping, paving, public art, possibilities for temporary and

permanent interpretative heritage exhibits);

• The interior public, non-operational spaces* (i.e. distinctive

architectural features, possibilities for temporary and permanent

interpretative heritage exhibits, public art, other design elements

or features); and

• Opportunities for reuse of existing building materials if

appropriate to honor history and legacy of the station.

Finished Site Condition

GLUP and Zoning – Current and

Proposed

• Existing Fire Station No. 8 parcel – No change from current S3-A

• Three parcels for temporary station change require GLUP amendment and rezoning from R-6 to S-3A

• S-3A:

– Consistent with permanent station S-3A zoning

– Allows for the program needs (i.e. by-right use, 45’ height maximum)

– Typically found adjacent to/surrounded by low residential areas

– Precedent: 5 of 10 stations in S3A

• Change GLUP for three parcels from “Low Residential’” to “Government and Community Facilities”, consistent with current FS parcel.
