Background

During the October 26, 2016 Facilities Study Session, staff presented demographic enrollment projections that indicated the need for the opening of a second K-8 school in the Heritage Fields development in August of 2018. Current enrollment projections still demonstrate the need for an opening date of August 2018, as outlined in the mitigation agreement with Heritage Fields El Toro, LLC.

On September 13, 2016, the Board authorized a contract for PlaceWorks to prepare the necessary California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") documents for a second K–8 school located in the Heritage Fields development. 

In 2003, the City of Irvine certified the Final Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Orange County Great Park, State Clearing House ("SCH") No. 2002101020, dated May 27, 2003 ("2003 EIR"), which analyzed the environmental effects of the development of 3,625 residential units and 6,585,594 square feet of nonresidential uses on the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro base.

In September 2011, the City Council certified a Supplemental EIR ("2011 SEIR"), which analyzed a total of 4,894 dwelling units and 6,585,594 square feet of nonresidential uses (including Great Park uses and other non-Great Park Neighborhood uses).

The City Council approved a Second Supplemental Environmental Impact Report ("2012 SSEIR") in November 2013, which addressed the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the Heritage Fields 2012–General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Project ("Heritage Fields Project") at the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro base. The 2012 SSEIR analyzed environmental effects of the development of 9,500 residential units, 220,000 square feet of retail uses, 11,000 square feet of child care, 25,000 square feet of church/synagogue, 1,282,222 square feet of multi-use non-residential, 3,364,000 square feet of medical and science (R&D) uses, two (2) K-8 schools with a combined capacity of 2,000 students, one high school with 2,600 student capacity, and 100 acres of neighborhood park uses in the Great Park Neighborhoods.

Prior to the certification of the 2012 SSEIR in November 2013, the Irvine Unified School District prepared and certified the High School #5 SEIR to the 2011 SEIR to develop and operate, a 2,600 student high school (Portola High School) in District 5 of the Great Park Neighborhoods. And subsequent to the 2012 SSEIR certification, the District prepared an Addendum to the 2012 SSEIR for construction and operation of a 1,000 student K-8 School #1 (Beacon Park School) in Development District 1 North.

The 2003 EIR, the 2011 SEIR, the 2012 SSEIR, and subsequent Addenda are herein referred to together as the “Certified EIR” and are incorporated by reference in this Addendum. The development area and project analyzed and approved by the Certified EIR are referred to together as the “Approved Project Area” and “Approved Project,” respectively.

This Addendum analyzes the potential environmental effects associated with the construction and operation of a second 1,000 student K-8 School located within District 4 of the Great Park Neighborhoods (Proposed Project). The Proposed Project would not cause any of the conditions specified in Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines to be met. Therefore, the District determined that development of the proposed school falls within the scope of the Certified EIR. In comparison to the Certified EIR, this Addendum provides additional detail with respect to the construction, operation, and associated environmental impacts of the proposed second K-8 School. This Addendum substantiates that no supplemental or subsequent EIR is required for the Proposed Project pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code. The Proposed Project does not significantly differ from the project included in the Certified EIR, and would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than those that have already been analyzed. Further, no new or substantially more severe impacts would result from any changes in circumstances surrounding the Proposed Project.

This Addendum has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq., the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Irvine Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA.

Project Location

As used in this Addendum, the term “Project Site” refers to the approximately 13 acre area bounded by the future Benchmark on the north and east, Cadence to the south, and Theme to the west, south of Irvine Boulevard near Modjeska, in the Orange County Great Park Plan in the City of Irvine. No address exists for the Project Site.  The Project Site is near the eastern boundary of the City of Irvine, and the City of Irvine is in close proximity to the cities of Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Newport Beach on the west side, and cities of Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, and unincorporated Orange County on the east side. The Project Site is on a portion of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro base, in the Planning Area 51 (“PA 51”) of the Orange County Great Park, as identified by the City of Irvine General Plan.

Locally, the Project Site is in Development District 4 of the PA 51, which consists of nine (9) Development Districts. The Planning Area 51/Great Park Neighborhood is also known as the Heritage Fields Project.

Project Description

The District proposes to develop and operate a second K-8 school located within the Heritage Fields development with a maximum enrollment capacity of 1,000 students and 85 staff members on approximately 13 acres of land.  The main campus would be on the east side and turf playfield would be on the west, with all vehicle access occurring on Benchmark street to the north.  A kindergarten and daycare with a separate drop-off/pick up parking area and playground would be provided.  The proposed K-8 facilities would be comprised of an administration building, a multipurpose/performing arts center, gymnasium and classroom buildings totaling 94,052 square feet, and the buildings would not be more than two stories high.  No nighttime lighting would be provided for the turf athletic field and kindergarten play areas.

CEQA Compliance

An EIR Addendum has been prepared pursuant to CEQA, the State CEQA guidelines and IUSD procedures.  An Addendum is prepared when there are changes or additions to a previously certified EIR, but none of the conditions under CEQA require a supplement to the EIR.  No public hearing is required for an Addendum.

This agenda item seeks consideration of the EIR Addendum, adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, adoption of CEQA findings, approval of the Project, and authorization to file the Notice of Determination.
