    SILICON SAGE MIXED-USE

    HARB recommended that the City retain the Old Centerville Fire Station rather than allow its demolition.
    They also recommended that the massing of the proposed buildings adjacent to the fire station be reduced.

    Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been posted online. The EIR files can be found on the Environmental Review page.


    On October 3, 2017, the City Council chose Alternative A from three scenerios regarding disposition of the old fire house and two parcels.
    "A) Silicon Sage would rehabilitate the old Fire Station, including completing tenant improvements enabling the building to be repurposed for a public use such as a recreational programming facility. The City would retain ownership and manage the new use. In exchange, the City would agree to sell the Rose Court parcel and the remainder of the Parcel 1 land behind the old Fire Station to Silicon Sage to be incorporated into its development project. Silicon Sage would also provide parking for the repurposed building as part of its new development. This scenario also allows the City to consider sale of the rehabilitated building at a later date should it decide it does not wish to retain ownership for a public purpose."
