About this file
This is an approved building plan and project specification document for the City of Santa Cruz Fire Department, prepared by William C. Kempf Architects, for the construction of a new metal storage building (Storage Building #3) at Fire Station No. 3, located at 335 Younglove Avenue, Santa Cruz, California. The project involves the construction of a 1,470 square-foot unconditioned metal storage building on a 25,508 square-foot site zoned as Public Facility. The building is classified as Type V-B construction with S-1 storage occupancy and will include fire sprinklers per NFPA 13 as a deferred submittal. The plans were approved by the City of Santa Cruz on February 27, 2026, under permit number B25-0290, and comply with the 2022 California Building Code and all applicable state and local codes. The project includes comprehensive scope items encompassing demolition, utilities trenching for electrical and fire sprinklers, concrete pad installation with specifications to support fire apparatus weighing approximately 55,000 pounds each, storm drain modifications, and bio-retention area installation. Construction must adhere to California Green Building Standards Code (CalGreen) mandatory measures, including construction waste reduction targeting 65 percent diversion, product Global Warming Potential (GWP) compliance, stormwater pollution prevention, and light pollution reduction standards.
The project requires compliance with extensive CalGreen provisions for nonresidential construction, including proper disposal of universal waste materials, construction waste management documentation, finish material pollutant control with VOC limits for adhesives and sealants, and environmental quality standards. A labor and performance bond and materials bond are required after project award, though a bid bond is not required. All work must be coordinated with pre-selected electrical, fire sprinkler system, and building installation vendors. Contractors must schedule and complete all required inspections with City of Santa Cruz inspectors, maintain compliance with Chapter 6.12 of the Santa Cruz Municipal Code regarding refuse and recycling activities, and prepare comprehensive Construction Waste Management Plans. The project includes special inspections requirements for items such as concrete, rebar, welding, and soils testing as specified in the California Building Code Section 1705. Building commissioning and testing and adjusting of systems are required, with documentation provided to the owner and applicable enforcing agencies.
