Danville Old Town Hall Considered As Temporary Fire Station

DANVILLE, CA — On Wednesday, the Danville Town Council will participate in a study session to explore turning the old town offices and police station at 510 La Gonda Way into a temporary fire station for the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District.

The fire district is rebuilding Station 31, located at 800 San Ramon Valley Boulevard, according to a town staff report. The rebuild is expected to take up to 24 months, and the fire district is looking for a temporary location within Danville to relocate employees and equipment.

Town and fire district staff both believe that 510 La Gonda is the best option, though a few issues must be worked out:

Planning and Building Approvals

The zoning on the property was changed to residential, so the fire district would need a Land Use permit. Town planning staff believes that the necessary findings for tat permit could be made.

Timing for future residential development of the property

510 La Gonda was identified as a site of future housing to helpful the town fulfill its RHNA obligations in its current housing element. The housing element identifies a proposed timeline for development of the property, which has construction beginning by the end of 2028. Town staff spoke with housing consultants who believe that the town can achieve this timeline by pursuing early steps of the process while the SRVFPD is still using the property.

The meeting will take place Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. See here for the full agenda, and here for more information on 510 La Gonda.
