The California Highway Patrol is looking for approx. 5.0 acres of land in the City of Santa Ana, for the future development of a new CHP Santa Ana area field office.

This 20-year lease-purchase project, to be built by a private sector developer, will include the construction of a new CHP Area Office consisting of approximately 40,114 square foot office building with an auto service building, a 750 square foot radio vault building and a 750 square foot property storage building.  Site development includes a 120 ft. high Communication Tower with a total height of 148 ft. to the top of the mast and lightning rod, secured patrol parking, property perimeter CMU wall fence, fuel island with a 12,000-gallon aboveground storage tank, generator and fuel tank, public parking and site utilities.

The building shall be built as a sustainable and energy-efficient building complex that complies with the California Green Building Code and meets the Essential Services Seismic Safety Act of 1986 criteria.  The State will select the best available site for CHPs program needs based on the minimum criteria listed below.  All participants/developers/lessors will competitively bid on the project based on their site submitted.  The developer will control the site.

Land sites submitted must meet the following criteria to be considered:

1) Site characteristics -
a.        The site must be a minimum of five acres pending project program size (consider SWPPP requirement which may require additional acreage).
b.        Land must be free of setbacks, unbuildable easements, set asides and mandatory inclusions e.g., retention ponds.  Areas adjacent to streams or waterways not included in usable acreage. If the site is larger than requirement, is it divisible.
c.        The site buildable area inclusive of parking is desired to be level.  Steep slopes shall not be counted as usable land.  Prefer parcels with single grade for operational efficiencies.  Site should have a width to depth ration of approximately 2:1. Triangular shapes may be acceptable in some instances.  Difficult to develop parcels to be considered on a case-by-case basis.
d.        Railroad crossings or sidings; access; commercial vehicles:  Access to major streets should not be via railroad crossings or sidings.
e.        Require sites near freeway on/off ramps; alternate freeway access; minimal stop signs, traffic barriers, congested routes; no median obstructions; access should avoid shopping centers and schools for safety issues.
f.        Consider adjacent properties which may conflict with programmatic operational needs relative to surrounding community.  Adjacent properties that have multi-story buildings, airports, hospitals, schools and private residences all pose impacts to programmatic considerations and should be avoided.
g.        Site shall be able to accommodate two (2) ingress/egress points.  Site must accommodate Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) vehicles.
h.        Desire public sewer system preferred to septic sewer; ready availability of telephone, cable/satellite, gas and electricity; public water supply preferred to private; non-potable water for irrigation/LEED consideration.

The FAA notice criteria is defined by CFR Tittle 14 Part 77.9 and the FAA notice criteria tool can be found at: https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/gisTools/gisAction.jsp?action=showNoNoticeRequiredToolForm.
