Oak Street Elementary School Renovation Project

The Oak Street Elementary School Renovation Project is proposed at the 193,926-square-foot campus of Oak Street Elementary School located at 633 South Oak Street (APN 4022-002-900) in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California (Project Site). The Project Site is located within the western portion of the City and is bounded by Elm Avenue to the north; Oak Street to the east; Interstate-405 (I-405, San Diego Freeway) to the west; and Spruce Avenue (a cul-de-sac) to the south. The Project would remove five existing portable structures comprising 10 classrooms within the central portion of the school campus and replace them with three permanent one-story buildings comprising 10 classrooms. The new buildings would be 2,880 square feet, 4,320 square feet, and 5,720 square feet in size, each with a height of 11 feet, 5 inches. The Project is intended to modernize the campus to better accommodate current educational functions and would not increase student capacity or staffing needs. In addition, the Project would remove the existing athletic field within the western portion of the school campus to accommodate new outdoor play equipment and play areas, a 480-square-foot bathroom building, 43 new trees, and 5,820 square feet of landscaping. A new 21,600-square-foot athletic turf field with four pole-mounted lights would be constructed within the central portion of the campus where the existing portable classrooms would be removed. Of the three proposed classroom buildings, two would be located within the western portion of the campus and one would be located southeast of the new athletic field. The existing surface parking lot and structures within the eastern portion of the campus, including Buildings A, B, C, and a shade structure, would remain in place. Regular vehicle access would remain unchanged along Elm Avenue and Spruce Avenue, while two new access points for fire emergency vehicles would be provided within the western end of the campus along Elm Avenue and Spruce Avenue.
