The two smallest parcels comprise the area where a retention basin is located, which is owned and maintained by the District. The site's legal description is defined as the southeast quadrant of Section 26, Township 4 North, Range 5 West of the San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian. The existing Hesperia High School site is located at 9898 Maple Avenue, north of the main arterial Main Street in the City of Hesperia, California. The project site is bordered by single-family residences to the west, along Tamarisk Avenue. Tamarisk Avenue is an unpaved road that splits into two lanes for a substantial length. The two lanes create a rather wide buffer between the residential units to the west and the high school. The dirt-lined retention basin and the upper playing fields of the Hesperia High School are located north of the project site's track field. Residences border the main arterial Maple Avenue, to the east of the project site. Spruce Street comprises the southern border of the project site and is abutted by a mix of residential and commercial land. The vicinity consists of residential properties and undeveloped land that is currently experiencing an increase in single-family residential development.
