Construction of the Proposed Project would begin in the summer of 2025 for a duration of 18 months. Grading would be balanced onsite. The Approved Project included development of an elementary school on a 16.9-acre lot that would accommodate 900 students. Therefore, the lot size, use, student capacity and location of the Proposed Project has been previously analyzed under the Approved Project and subsequent Addenda
