significant enrollment growth. In November 2014, the District obtained approval of <br />Measure I, authorizing $48 million in bond funds for facilities expansion and <br />improvement within the school district. Completed projects with bond measure funds <br />includes; two new classrooms at Redwood Shores Elementary, eight new classrooms <br />at Ralston Middle School and eight new classrooms at Nesbit to accommodate K-8 <br />grade. The next round of projects includes eight new classrooms and a library at <br />Cipriani Elementary School and new classrooms at Sandpiper School to accommodate <br />a K-8 grade school. <br />Prior to the expansion at Nesbit, the District operated one middle school serving all 6 – 8 <br />grade students at Ralston Middle School. Ralston Middle School currently serves <br />1,206 students, is significantly impacted by traffic, and is located approximately 6 miles <br />from Sandpiper School. <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />Proposed Development <br />Sandpiper School has a current capacity of 566 students in grades K-5. The District <br />requests the City enter into a Ground Lease agreement to allow for the construction of <br />a new 14,700 square foot two-story classroom building (including balcony area) on <br />City-owned property at Sandpiper Park to accommodate grades K-8 for Sandpiper <br />School. The District also plans to construct a new kindergarten classroom building <br />on the Sandpiper School (School) property. Details of the Ground Lease and an <br />associated amendment to the existing Joint Use Agreement are provided below <br />(page 6). The District plans to increase the School enrollment from 566 to 786 <br />students. This increase includes 180 students in grades 6-8 and an additional 40 <br />students in grades K-5. The District prioritizes student placement based on the <br />nearest serving school. Based on this policy, it is anticipated that the increased <br />student population will come from the nearby neighborhood. <br />City Pump Station 18 is located immediately adjacent to the Project site. This <br />pump station includes pumping equipment located within a solid wood fence enclosure. <br />Rehabilitation of the pump station is planned within the next two years as part of a <br />separate Capital Improvement Plan project. The school project would not alter the pump <br />station in any way. <br /> <br />The subject site is bordered by Redwood Shores Parkway to the east, Egret Lane and <br />residences to the south, residences to the north and Redwood Shores Lagoon to west. <br />7.A. - Page 2
