Document Description
The San Diego Unified School District (District) is proposing building renovations and construction of a new administrative facilities at existing facilities located at 9330 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, California 92123, that would be implemented in two phases. The first phase would entail construction of a parking garage and site infrastructure improvements, and the second construction phase would redevelop and renovate the existing on-site building and construct other site improvements. The proposed parking garage would be constructed in the northwestern portion of the site and would include five levels with a total area of approximately 180,000 SF to accommodate approximately 500 parking spaces. The administration building would consist of the renovated existing 150,000-SF building with a new approximately 60,000-SF two-story addition on the north side of the existing building and a new entrance on the northeast side of the building. Surface parking lots would be constructed in the southern and eastern portions of the site. Proposed utility improvements include laterals and connections to existing utility infrastructure in adjacent roadways, including water, sewer, electrical, and telecommunications. An on-site stormwater system is proposed that would include a stormwater detention vault in the southwest portion of the site that would collect on-site flows and convey them to a biofiltration system that would treat runoff before being discharged to the municipal storm drain system in Balboa Avenue.
