Document Description
The project would involve the demolition of Sheffield Reservoir, dam, and the 39,000 square foot (sq ft) Sheffield Treatment Building. Two replacement 6.5-million gallon (MG) buried reservoirs would be provided along with a new 900 sq ft control building and other minor above ground facilities (vents, etc.). Temporary above ground water storage tanks with 3-MG capacity would be placed near the Firescape Garden during construction, then removed once the reservoirs are operational. A landscaped open space would be provided over the buried reservoirs. Use of the open space would be delayed one year to allow the landscaping to get established. The open space would be used by the public for passive activities including walking, bird watching, painting, etc. A small ten-space parking lot would be provided. A helipad would be provided for fire fighting activities. The existing Firescape Garden, which demonstrates fire-resistant native landscaping, would be retained. The existing Canine Training Area would be relocated offsite during construction, then re-established in approximately the same area where it now exists. The project would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a quasi-public use in any zone.
