During the review process, the affordable housing component was removed due to project funding constraints, and the proposal was revised to include a co-located replacement fire station and emergency and supportive housing facility. The proposal includes a two-story, approximately 24,325 square-foot fire station and a three-story, approximately 55,443-square-foot emergency shelter and supportive housing building.
On April 14, 2026, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Penn Daw Fire Station and Emergency and Supportive Housing Plan amendment. The adopted Plan amendment adds an option for a co-located public facility use at an intensity of up to 0.60 FAR to accommodate the fire station and emergency and supportive housing facility. The Plan amendment was considered concurrently with Rezoning Application RZ 2025-MV-00022, which was also approved by the Board on April 14, 2026.
