Proposal for Cypress Fire Station – Digital Library, History Room & Technology Center 3 <br /> <br />Tech Bootcamps for adults and children, like Sabio and Steamcoders, need <br />digital facilities like Digital Libraries and Technology Centers to hub <br />programs around locally. Entry-level Junior Developer coders earn an <br />average of $95,000 in our area! <br /> <br /> <br />LOCATION & STATS: <br /> <br />625 Cypress Ave, Santa Ana, CA <br /> <br />Building is 4,350 square feet <br /> <br />Parcel is 7,188 square feet <br /> <br /> <br />PARKING: <br /> <br />There are over 45 parking spots in the Dollar Tree lot directly across from <br />the Cypress Fire Station. Over 30 parking spots are empty at all times of day <br />or night. Because of the low need for parking the lot owner has sublet it to <br />a recycling service which attracts lots of homeless folks, crime, illegal <br />dumping of trash and open drug use. <br /> <br />It would uplift the whole area to have this underused parking lot across <br />Cypress from the Fire Station, repurposed for community center use. <br /> <br />STAFF NEGLECT & MUNICIPAL CHALLENGES: <br /> <br />It’s important to mention that staff neglect and/or incompetence has a <br />huge role to play in the Cypress Fire Station’s decline. For almost a decade, <br />frequent calls for security and protective equipment went ignored or <br />underserved. Given the ongoing SAPD presence at the Dollar Tree lot, it’s <br />hard to see how homeless occupation of the firehouse got so out of <br />control. Similarly, substandard fencing has been an ongoing problem. The <br />most recent break in happened this past week. <br /> <br /> <br />
