As to the idea of relocating the South San Francisco Fire Station 63, now on the north side of Camaritas Avenue, across the street to the area previously occupied by a liquor store and restaurant, the Planning Commission and City Council had better look at this scenario long and hard. The spaces are not comparable. The space devoted to the existing station is three times larger than the space contemplated in the move. The Fire Department complains that they need more space for storage; I challenge the architectural planners to fit more storage for Station 63 in 66% less space. Success would be miraculous.
But why relocate the fire station when it is now the only occupant in the municipal services building, with plenty of room in the old police headquarters to expand? We own the municipal services building free and clear. It still has lots of meeting rooms that we senior residents would love to make use of; a great parking garage with elevators that could now be expanded into the former shooting range below the old police station; great for disabled access, as well as more library parking and fire station storage.
