Document Description
The proposed project involves the construction and operation of Community School No. 1 for the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE). The proposed project would consolidate two existing OCDE programs within the City of Fountain Valley: Renaissance Lyceum and the Fountain Valley Education Center/Operation Success II. These programs are currently operated out of commercial storefronts in strip malls, and would be relocated to one central school site within the City of Fountain Valley. The proposed project site is 5.8 acres located on the northern corner of Harbor Boulevard and Lilac Avenue and will include 5 buildings with a total floor area of 43,349 square feet. Community School No. 1 would serve approximately 376 students, with a maximum student capacity not to exceed 594 students. Community School No. 1 would not be operated as a regional school facility, but rather is intended to serve students from within the City of Fountain Valley and the immediate surrounding communities. The school would operate on a staggered schedule, with the average attendance time per student of approximately four hours per day. The school program does not allow students to drive to school, so a portion of all students will use public transportation to access the site. Students not utilizing public transportation would walk, bicycle, or be transported to the school by a responsible adult. Site access will be gained from Harbor Boulevard with one "entry only," and one "exit only" driveway. A 66-space parking area will be located at the northern edge of the proposed project site, and will serve staff and visitors only.
