Project Info

Title

Co-Located Dispatch Facility Project

Description

The project would consolidate County-wide emergency dispatch functions provided by the County’s Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center (currently at the County Operations Center at Kansas Avenue off Highway 1, northwest of the City of San Luis Obispo) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and County Fire Department’s Emergency Command Center (currently on North Santa Rosa Street in San Luis Obispo). The facility would serve as the County’s primary Public Safety Answering Point to provide dispatch for law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services throughout the unincorporated regions of the county, as well as within the seven incorporated communities. The facility would also serve as a regional emergency response operations headquarters. The proposed site improvements would include an approximately 18,000-square-foot, two-story Essential Services Emergency Dispatch building that would support between 15 and 30 personnel, a 140-foot-high communications tower, and associated site improvements such as secure and non-secure parking areas, a perimeter fence, storage areas, onsite utility connections, and landscaping.
