Summary
The Planning Commission continued the Fire Station 4 item, appointed a subcommittee, and set a 60-day collaboration with staff and community; Mayor Alex Munaghi said the new station in South Laguna is critical because existing stations are not seismically sound.
The Laguna Beach Planning Commission continued review of the proposed Fire Station 4 in South Laguna and appointed a subcommittee to work with staff and the community on redesign, Mayor Alex Munaghi said on Fair Game Laguna Beach.
Munaghi said the commission directed a 60-day collaborative review between staff, the subcommittee and community members, and that a site meeting will take place Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at the proposed fire station location to gather input. He said he would not comment on specific design details because the project could be appealed to City Council.
The mayor described the new station as “long overdue,” saying the city has not built a fire station in more than 50 years and that four existing stations are not seismically sound. “It’s about public safety,” Munaghi said, urging completion of the project while recognizing the commission’s call for additional community collaboration.
Munaghi encouraged residents to weigh in at the on-site meeting and said the commission’s continuation sets an expectation for design revisions and community engagement before further action.
