Fire Station Construction Project - Potential Sites

 

This story map was created to accompany a hypothetical case study showing the use of suitability analysis for siting a facility. Click the link above to view the case study.

 

In anticipation of the construction of a new fire station, the Planning Department has identified potential sites for the location of the station. The search focused on vacant, city-owned parcels in order to minimize demolition and purchase costs.

 

Criteria for what constitutes a suitable site were developed by the Fire, Planning, and Public Works departments. Click an entry in the list below to display a map of the criteria:

 

 

A GIS-based spatial analysis was undertaken to identify suitable sites. Out of 156 vacant city-owned parcels, eight were found to meet the criteria. Scroll down for more information on the individual sites.

 

A subsequent spatial analysis will identify the site that will result in the greatest increase in coverage of the city within a four-minute drive time of a fire station. Three measures will be analyzed: population, value of structures, and miles of streets.
