An open letter to Laguna

Fire Chief Niko King

Sir , You have been misinformed by your advisors on Measure Q . Laguna Residents First supports your decision for a new fire station in the proposed location at 5th and Coast Highway . It is important for you to understand that Measure Q does NOT interfere with using that location , or with building a new fire station , or retrofitting existing stations .
The fact is , a simple lot line adjustment is all that is needed to enable the South Laguna location for a new fire station . Measure Q does NOT interfere with the City ’ s discretion on administrative matters such as lot line adjustments .
There is nothing in Measure Q that takes any jurisdiction over Earthquake retrofits , remodels or even rebuilds that don ’ t change the height , size , or type of use . All of that is completely exempt .
None of Laguna ’ s fire stations are even close to Measure Q ’ s size standard of 22,000 sq ft of floor area . Floor area is a legal term that does not include garage , parking , or outdoor amenities . New fire stations would not fall under Q .
Measure Q gives our council better standards to help manage development and gives residents the right to vote on significant projects . We invite you to join with thousands of community residents who support Measure Q . If you have questions , please reach out to us at LagunaResidentsFirst @ gmail . com
Sincerely , David Raber , Co-Founder • Gene Felder , Treasurer • Merrill Anderson , PhD ., Assistant Treasurer
