As the site is larger than 1 acre, it would also be subject to review by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program to control runoff during and after construction. If the property is located within the Coastal Zone the project would also be subject to the California Coastal Act and under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. This project would be subject to the California Historical Building Code. A project such as this would require a historical preservationist, potentially an interior designer with experience in historical preservation, a mechanical electrical and plumbing engineer, potentially a structural engineer depending on scope, and an acoustical engineer, and traffic engineer.

For an essential services building such as this sheriff’s station the DSA-SS would review structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing provisions. The DSA-AC and the State Fire Marshall, would also have jurisdiction. As a coastal site, this project would be subject to the California Coastal Act and fall under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. The project would most likely be subject to CEQA with the lead agency being the California Coastal Commission or local planning department. This project would require a geotechnical engineer, a structural engineer, mechanical electrical and plumbing engineers, telecomm, security, and potentially a traffic consultant. The additional work involved in an essential services building including periodic written reports to the enforcement agency would need to be factored into the fee to account for the extra time involved.
