Figure 2-2 presents the proposed site plan for the Project, prepared by MJP Architects, which shows the proposed High School development. Access to the Project site will continue to be provided via the two (2) existing full access unsignalized driveways along SOCO Harbor Drive. The draft bell schedule for the proposed high school indicates a school start of 8:10 AM and school ending at 3:10 PM. 2.1 Pedestrian Circulation Pedestrian circulation will be provided via existing public sidewalks along Sunflower Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, and Lake Center Drive bordering the project site. The proposed Project will protect the existing sidewalk along the project frontage and if necessary, repair or reconstruct sidewalks along the project frontage per the City’s request. Figure 2-2 illustrates the proposed Project’s internal walkway and pedestrian circulation which connects to the public sidewalk system via Harbor Boulevard. The proposed Project plans to demolish the existing surface parking area between Buildings 3601 and 3611 to provide a pedestrian plaza for the school, to include covered outdoor dining and two (2) basketball courts. Some students are anticipated to travel to/from school via public transportation and will utilize OCTA Route 43 via the existing bus stops located on Harbor, just north and south of Lake Center Drive. As part of the proposed Project, yellow ladder school crosswalks will be striped on all legs at the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Lake Center Drive to accommodate the increase in student activity at the intersection. These improvements are subject to the review and approval by the Cities of Santa Ana and Costa Mesa due to joint jurisdiction.
