EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report presents an assessment of the public school enrollment and facilities impacts of the Ponte Vista at San Pedro, a 2,300-unit condominium development (“Project”) proposed for a 61.5-acre site along Western Avenue in the Wilmington-San Pedro area of the City of Los Angeles. The site is owned by Bisno Development Company. This assessment is intended to provide data and analysis for use in preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on the Project, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Report was prepared by Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Alschuler, Inc., a policy, financial and management consultant. The public school system serving the Project site is the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Neighborhood schools that would be attended by students generated from the Project include Taper Elementary School (1824 Taper Avenue, San Pedro), Dodson Middle School (28014 S. Montereina Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes) and Narbonne High School (24300 S. Western Avenue, Harbor City). Taper Elementary, Dodson Middle, and Narbonne High Schools are currently operating under capacity by 383, 578, and 53 students, respectively. The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) High School of International Business and Maritime Studies, which commenced operations in September 2005, is located at 250 W. Fifth Street in San Pedro, approximately 4.5 miles from the Project site. POLA High is a public comprehensive charter high school that serves grades 9-12. The school is an innovative model that combines a college preparatory standards-based core academic curriculum with optional specializations in international business, trade, transportation, labor, and maritime and global studies. POLA High is intended to help alleviate the overcrowding issues of local LAUSD high schools, specifically in the communities of Harbor City, Wilmington, and San Pedro. LAUSD is currently engaged in the planning and construction of 185 new schools by 2012 to accommodate its student population growth forecast within and surrounding the City of Los Angeles. In the project area, LAUSD has also announced a project known as new South Region High School (#14). The planned South Region High School #14 has a projected capacity of 2,025 students and would serve the area in which the Project is located. The planned South Region High School #14 would commence operations in 2011. On December 13, 2005, the LAUSD Board of Education adopted a resolution approving the Project site as the preferred site for the planned South Region High School #14, although LAUSD has subsequently stated that only 24 acres will be required for the school. The approval of the resolution authorizes LAUSD Ponte Vista at San Pedro Page 1 School Impacts Technical Report Draft EIR September 2006 Executive Summary staff to study the Project site as the potential site for South Region High School #14, for planning and feasibility purposes, including the preparation on an environmental impact report by LAUSD. However, it does not approve or authorize the development of South Region High School #14 at the Project site or any other site. After such studies are completed, the LAUSD Board of Education may decide to proceed or not proceed with development of South Region High School #14. The option to attend “magnet” programs is also available to students living within the service boundaries of LAUSD. Magnet programs provide specialized curriculums and instructional approaches to attract a voluntary integration of students from a variety of neighborhoods in a metropolitan area. Two of the schools that serve the Project site, Dodson Middle School and Narbonne High School, have magnet programs on their campuses (Dodson Gifted and Narbonne Math Science, respectively). Additional LAUSD magnet schools and programs in the area that are expected to be available to Project residents include South Shores Performing Arts (Grades 1-5), Harbor Math Science Gifted (Grades 1-5), San Pedro Marine/Math Science Tech (Grades 9-12), Lomita Math Science (Grades 1-5), and Glenn Hammond Curtiss Math/Science Technology (Grades 6-8). There are also a number of private schools in the Project area that would serve as alternatives to LAUSD schools, should Project residents elect this option. In addition to existing private schools, there are two planned private schools immediately adjacent to the Project site, Mary Star of the Sea High School and Rolling Hills Preparatory School, which are anticipated to be in operation upon buildout of the Project and therefore could also serve Project residents. In accordance with Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, a project would have a significant effect on the environment if it were to result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered school facilities, or need for new or physically altered school facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios or other performance objectives of the school district. The project site is vacant and, therefore, does not currently contribute to the existing school enrollment. Implementation

The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.
