The District plans to renovate space at the new location and will operate a permanent fire station once these renovations are complete, - The District needs a temporary location for its employees and equipment during the renovation of their new fire station, Temporary space is available at Port of the Islands Hotel. Specifically, the District wishes to rent two rooms and parking space as a temporary location while the new station is being built. The permanent space is zoned "C4" - a zoning designation which allows essential services, inCluding fire stations, as a permitted use. The proposed temporary space is zoned "RT" which allows fire stations as a conditional use, Given the area's density and related response times, staff believes it is necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Collier County to temporarily suspend the conditional use requirement to allow a temporary fire station to operate out of Port of the Islands Hotel until renovations are complete at the Mure permanent fire station at Port of the Islands, FISCAL IMPACT: The lease provides for two rooms and parking space for a fire truck, at the rate of $1,300,00 per month, for one year, with an option to renew for a second year.
