The project site encompasses 6.03 acres located at 3321 South Fairview Street on the southeast corner of the intersection of Alton Avenue and South Fairview Street.

Existing Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The existing site is currently developed with an approximately 53,000 square- foot concrete tilt-up warehouse used by the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) as a maintenance facility for school district supplies and equipment. The warehouse serves as the SAUSD's Distribution and Support center, which provides pupil support services, computer labs, student testing, teacher training, and printing/publication services. SAUSD also uses the parcel for landscape maintenance storage in an unpaved area next to the warehouse. Approximately two-thirds of the existing site is paved, and one-third is the unpaved landscape maintenance and storage yard.
