CHAPTER 6: COMMUNITY SERVICES & UTILITIES WOODGLEN SPECIFIC PLAN 6-1 6 COMMUNITY SERVICES & UTILITIES Community facilities and services, including fire, police, schools, child care and solid waste are described below and summarized in Table 6-1: Public Service Providers. Table 6-1: Public Service Providers Service Provider Fire Modesto Fire Department Police Modesto Police Department Schools Stanislaus Union School District Modesto City Schools Solid Waste Gilton Waste Management 6.1 Public Safety 6.1.1 Police The plan area is served by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department. It is proposed that the plan area is served by the Modesto Police Department. The Modesto General Plan provides Citywide goals and policies for police services that would apply to the plan area. 6.1.2 Fire The plan area is served by the Modesto Fire Department. The Modesto Fire Department provides fire protection to the City of Modesto and surrounding unincorporated areas. In addition to fire prevention and control services, it provides emergency medical services, emergency preparedness and mitigation of hazardous incidences. A new fire station, Station 11, recently began operations at the corner of Carver Road and Pelandale Avenue. Since this station is diagonally across the street from the plan area, primary service for the plan area would originate from Station 11. First and full responses can be made from Station 11, based on existing apparatus, equipment and personnel levels. Secondary service would be feasible and available from Station 5. The location of the plan area allows the Authority to meet its standards for service including, upon annexation, the residents and properties within the plan area. ---PAGE BREAK--- CHAPTER 6: COMMUNITY SERVICES & UTILITIES WOODGLEN SPECIFIC PLAN 6-2 6.2 Schools The plan area is served by Stanislaus Union School District for K-8 and by Modesto City Schools at Gregori High School for grades 9-12.
