TORRES Deputy Director, Environmental Health and Safety MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 2100 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations (CCR) Sections 15000 et seq.), the Los Angeles School District has completed this Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project described below based on the assessment presented in the attached Initial Study. LEAD AGENCY: Los Angeles Unified School District PROJECT TITLE: North Hollywood High School Comprehensive Modernization PROJECT LOCATION: The proposed Project site is at North Hollywood High School campus, located at 5231 Colfax Avenue in the Valley View neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, California, Los Angeles County, California. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD or District) is proposing a comprehensive modernization of North Hollywood High School. The major Project components include (1) demolition of 12 buildings totaling 115,113 square feet of floor space and 23 portables containing 29,144 square feet of classrooms and support spaces; (2) construction of new buildings and structures, including a 134,262 square feet classroom building with 53 classrooms, a 44,895 square feet auditorium building, and a 54,433 square feet gymnasium building; (3) upgrades to facilities throughout the campus, and (4) improvements to comply with federal, state and local facilities requirements. The planned square footage is subject to change as the design of the Project is refined. Currently, the North Hollywood High School campus has an estimated 280,364 square feet of building floor space. Following implementation of the proposed Project, the campus would have an estimated 369,697 square feet, constituting 89,333 square feet more building floor space than under existing conditions. At Project completion, 94 classrooms would be provided on campus. The Project would include removal of 61 classrooms and construction of 57 new classrooms on campus. Two existing classrooms would be retained and 35 existing classrooms would be remodeled. The proposed modernization Project would not change the current capacity of the school or affect student enrollment. No changes to traditional school operations, school-related events, or community use would occur as a result of the Project. Modernizations at the high school would also include site upgrades and internal pedestrian circulation improvements, including: • Upgrades to site-wide infrastructure, including sanitary sewer, water, and electrical utilities. • Various site-wide upgrades to remove identified and prioritized barriers to program accessibility per the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S. Code Chapter 126). • Landscape, hardscape, and exterior paint. The Project would result in 38 new parking spaces, increasing the total number of parking spaces on the campus from 192 to 230. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The proposed Project would occur on the North Hollywood High School campus, which encompasses a 25.10-acre site located at 5231 Colfax Avenue in the Valley View neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, California. The campus contains 57 buildings, consisting of 25 permanent buildings and 32 portables, that provide a combined 98 classrooms with capacity to accommodate 2,538 students. The main permanent buildings on campus include one administration and classroom building, two general and specialty classroom buildings, one auditorium, one library, one cafeteria, two gymnasiums, and three shop and mechanic buildings. Many of the current permanent buildings were built as early as 1927, and two expansions were undertaken in the mid-1950s and late-1990s. The campus buildings that were built between 1927 and 1934 typify the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture. Besides its educational facilities, the school is open on weekends, as a community recreational facility. In addition, the North Hollywood Polytechnic Community Adult School and Amelia Earhart Continuation School are located adjacent to the northeast corner of the campus. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The MND and supporting Initial Study for the North Hollywood High School Comprehensive Modernization Project are available for review at the following locations: LAUSD, Office of Environmental Health and Safety, 333 South Beaudry Avenue, 21st Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017 North Hollywood High School, 5231 Colfax Avenue, North Hollywood, CA 91601 LAUSD Local District Northeast Office, 8401 Arleta Avenue, Sun Valley, CA 91352 North Hollywood Amelia Earhart Regional Library, 5211 Tujunga Avenue, North Hollywood, CA 91601 LAUSD OEHS website: http://achieve.lausd.net/ceqa SUMMARY OF IMPACTS: The attached Initial Study was prepared to identify the potential effects on the environment from the installation and operation of the modernized campus and to evaluate the significance of those effects. Based on the environmental analysis, the proposed Project would have less-than-significant environmental impacts related to Transportation and Traffic with the incorporation of a mitigation measure. The proposed Project would have no impacts or less-than-significant environmental impacts related to the remaining CEQA issue areas. Findings. It is hereby determined that, based on the information contained in the attached Initial Study, the proposed Project would not have a significant adverse effect on the environment.

Lid, Legislative Assistant COUNCIL FILE NO. 10-1076: SURVEY FINDINGS FROM SCHOOL-PARKS SHARED USE STUDY The Department of Recreation and Parks (Depaliment) began its shared use relationship with Los Angeles Unified School District (LA US D) in 1967 with an agreement for the construction and operation of a pool at Venice High SchooL The pool was subsequently built by the City on LAUSD property. 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.

  • School Associated Violent Deaths
    The National School Safety Center's Report on School Associated Violent Deaths Internet: www.schoolsafety.us E-mail: [email protected] In-House Report of the National School Safety Center 141 Duesenberg Drive, Suite 11 • Westlake Village, CA 91362 • Ph: 805/373-9977 • Fax: 805/373-9277 Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director DEFINITION: A school-associated violent death is any homicide, suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which the fatal injury occurred: 1) on the property of a functioning public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school, Kindergarten through grade 12, (including alternative schools); 2) on the way to or from regular sessions at such a school; 3) while person was attending or was on the way to or from an official school-sponsored event; 4) as an obvious direct result of school incident/s, function/s or activities, whether on or off school bus/vehicle or school property. * Note: Not a scientific survey. Since information is taken from newspaper clipping services, it is possible that not all such clippings have reached the NSSC. SCOPE: Newspaper accounts, on which NSSC bases this report, frequently do not list names and ages of those who are charged with the deaths of others. Such omissions were in some cases because the person charged was a minor. In some instances, persons were killed in drive-by shootings, gang encounters or during melees in which the killer was not identified, and the killers were either never apprehended or were caught days or months after the crime was first reported.
