Title

George Walker (G.W.) Smith Education Center Project

Description

The San Diego Unified School District (District) proposes to construct a new administrative campus on a 7.8-acre site located at 9330 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, CA 92123, in the City’s Kearny Mesa Community Plan (KMCP) area. The project site is located at the northwest corner of the Balboa Avenue/Ruffin Road intersection on a developed site (Assessor Parcel Number 369-161-06) that contains an existing two-story building encompassing approximately 150,000 square feet (SF) and associated surface parking and landscaping. The District is proposing building renovations and construction of new administrative facilities 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.
