PROJECT
DESCRIPTION: The project proposal
is an amendment to the Pasadena Christian School Master Development
Plan. With the acquisition of the property at 1472 N. Garfield
Avenue (Assessor Parcel Number: 5838-013-014), the applicant,
Pasadena Christian School is requesting a General Plan Amendment
from Medium Density Residential (0-16 dwelling units/net acre) to
Institutional and a Zone Change from RM-16 (Multi-family
Residential, 16 dwelling units/net acre) to PS (Public and
Semi-Public) to incorporate this property into the school’s master
plan boundary area. Currently, the parcel has a General Plan Land
Use designation of Medium Density Residential (0-16 dwelling
units/net acre) with the corresponding zoning designation of RM-16
(multi-family Residential, 16 dwelling units/net acre).
The amendment will reflect new changes made to the
Master Plan since its adoption in 1998 and amendment in 2001. The
proposed amendment to the Pasadena Christian School Master
Development Plan represents a 15-year planning framework for the
development of the school campus. The new amendment consists of two
phases:
Phase 1:
-
Construction of a new 8,323-square foot Junior
High building;
-
Expansion (addition of 19 parking spaces) and
remodel of the Los Robles Avenue parking lot;
-
Remodel of the existing Administration building
with the addition of 410 square feet;
-
Construction of a new Junior High “quad” west of
the Los Robles Avenue parking lot and a new bus parking area for
a school bus;
-
Prior to the construction of the Junior High
Building and the Los Robles Avenue parking lot expansion and
remodel, a one-story 330-square foot (15 X 22) shed on Los
Robles Avenue will be demolished.
Phase 2:
-
Construction of a 20,000 square-foot second-story
addition to the existing Elementary Classroom building for an
additional seven classrooms (one per grade level from
kindergarten through grade 6). The expansion combined with a
reduction in class size from thirty to twenty-five students will
increase total enrollment capacity by 105 students;
-
Construction of a new covered (non-enclosed)
lunch area that will support 370 students will be built near the
elementary classrooms; and
-
Construction of an 8,260 square-foot addition to
the existing Auditorium/Multi-Purpose Building that will include
a full-court (junior high level) basketball court and a stage
for musical and dramatic student productions.
Construction of Phase 1 of the project will commence
in April 2009. Phase 2 will occur within the 15-year timeframe of
the Master Plan or when funding is available.
Phase 1 of the amendment will not increase the
student enrollment; however, Phase 2 of the project will increase
the student enrollment to a maximum capacity of 688 students.
Currently, the student enrollment is 638 students.
