Document Description
The project proposes replacement of the existing Vista Detention Facility and ancillary facilities to provide housing and services to meet current and future facility demand. Existing structures to be demolished include the Vista Detention Facility and support facilities, County of San Diego Sheriff’s Vista substation, Law Library, DGS Facility Operations shops and Fleet fueling station, central plant, photovoltaic panels, and parking areas. The project would replace the demolished facilities with a new Vista Sheriff Station, two parking structures, central utility plant, tunnel to south court, Facility Operations shops, Fleet fueling station, outdoor courtyard, and jail that will include replacement and future housing, intake/release, food services, medical, re-entry, rehabilitation and recreational facilities, and other ancillary structures. The project would require new utility connections to existing utility lines in La Tortuga Drive, including water and sewer service, which would continue to be provided by the Vista Irrigation District and the City’s municipal sewer system. Water connections could potentially require connection to existing water line in South Melrose Drive. Onsite stormwater improvements would include biofiltration best management practices.
