RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF A 0.20
ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1095 ALPINE AVENUE
FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FIRE STATION TO REPLACE
EXISTING STATION 9 AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
FROM THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE THEREFOR
WHEREAS, the existing Fire Station 9 (266 East Oneida Street) was built in 1961 and is
past its useful life and needs to be replaced; and
WHEREAS, the existing site of Fire Station 9 is too small to accommodate a modern fire
station and is not optimally located for its service area; and
WHEREAS, a site suitable for public purposes including the potential construction of a
new fire station has been identified by the Fire Department which is the appropriate size and in
the appropriate location for its service area; and
WHEREAS, staff would like to explore the feasibility of developing the potential site
into a new fire station to replace existing Fire Station 9; and
WHEREAS, if staff were to determine that a fire station development were infeasible or
undesirable at the site, alternative City uses could be implemented including but not limited to a
cellular communications site, pocket park, and/or staging site for public works projects; and
WHEREAS, the owner of the 1095 Alpine Avenue site was approached by the City and
has agreed to sell the land, on an "as -is" basis, to the City for $360,000; and
WHEREAS, staff estimates the market value of the site to be $280,000 based upon recent
comparable sales of similar properties; and
WHEREAS, staff feels the above -market purchase price is justified due to the unique
suitability of the site for the proposed public purposes and the City's ability to increase the size
of the site, at little expense, to an approximately one -acre parcel when combined with excess
City -owned right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, an appropriation from the General Fund Reserves of $360,000 will be used
to fund the purchase of the 1095 Alpine Avenue site; and
WHEREAS, impacts to the General Fund Reserves can be offset through the sale of the
266 East Oneida Street site or Measure P funds could be considered to reimburse the General
Fund Reserves. In order to avoid delays in purchasing the site, these options can be considered
in a future item.
