Numerous outreach <br />activities have been conducted by both staff and the applicant. In October 2011, the Foundation <br />mailed informational letters to surrounding property owners describing their intent to develop a high <br />school on the site. On November 21, 2011 the Foundation met with the Edna Park Association <br />Board to review the project. Finally, a neighborhood meeting was held on March 7, 2012 to review <br />and discuss the most recent school proposal. The project site itself was posted with a notice <br />advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed <br />notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the project site, as well as concerned <br />citizens listed on the Permanent Notification List. Also, staff contacted the representatives of Edna <br />Park to notify them of the public hearing and to identify any concerns with the project. At the time <br />of this printing, no correspondence had been received regarding the project. <br />CEQA Analvsis <br />As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental <br />review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
