Document Description
The District proposes to construct a new building, expand two existing buildings, install new permanent home and away bleachers, improve the existing track, improve the existing tennis courts, implement a new fire lane, and new landscaping (proposed project). The proposed project would occur in various areas throughout the Costa Mesa HS campus. Specifically, the project would be located on and adjacent to the existing Costa Mesa HS stadium and the existing tennis courts. The proposed project would not include changes to existing walkways or lighting. The proposed project would allow for more seating for spectators for sports games and other school events. The proposed project would also enhance the usability of the tennis courts for athletes and spectators, add new athletic and school facilities for the staff and students, and enhance safety with the implementation of a new fire access lane. The proposed project would also include new baseball backstop netting to the baseball fields north of the stadium. The proposed project would not increase the existing student capacity at Costa Mesa HS and would accommodate existing athletic and school-supporting events and programs. The construction of the proposed project would occur in one phase. Construction is anticipated to last approximately 12 months, beginning in summer 2025 and ending in summer 2026.
