LAHS 500 Wing Replacement CEQA Addendum - 1.6.23.pdf
Summary: The Mountain View/Los Altos Union High School District (the District), which is in the process of implementing the approved 2019 campus expansion, is now proposing modifications to the planned Los Altos High School expansion project (modified project). The original campus expansion project did not include, and the IS/MND did not evaluate, modifications to the 500 West Wing, which consists of a storage unit located south of the campus pool. The District now proposes to demolish the 1,823 square foot 500 West Wing building and replace it with a 2,502 square foot one-story building consisting of two multi-use rooms and an athletic director’s office. The multi-use rooms would provide space for uses such as PE, classrooms, sports, etc. The modifications to the 500 West Wing would not be in support of accommodating additional students beyond the additional 410 students evaluated in the 2019 IS/MND.

This Addendum analyzes the demolition of the 1,823 square foot 500 West Wing and the construction of a 2,502 square foot one-story building with two multi-use rooms and an athletic director’s office under Section 15164.

Based on the modified project description and knowledge of the project site (based on the environmental review prepared for the 2019 IS/MND), the District has concluded that the modified project would not result in any new impacts not previously disclosed in the IS/MND and would not result in a substantial increase in the magnitude or severity of any significant environmental impacts previously identified in the IS/MND. For these reasons, an Addendum to the IS/MND has been prepared for the modified project.
