Document Description
As set forth in the District-certified Final EIR (January 2023), the RSD proposes to implement the School Board-approved RDV Middle School Existing Campus Expansion Master Plan (proposed modified project) to address educational, recreational, parking, and transportation needs for District students at RDV. The Final SEIR refines the project based on comments from the City of Oxnard and the October 2023 Settlement Agreement, focusing on the annexation of the 20.2-acre main campus and 11.3-acre southern campus expansion area into the City of Oxnard, excluding the 10-acre northern agricultural parcel. The modified project includes:
• Phase I-A (Pre-Annexation): On the existing main campus, construction of one baseball field, one softball field, ten tennis/handball courts, a 1,900 SF athletic restroom/storage/snack bar building, and stormwater treatment improvements.
• Phase I-B (Post-Annexation): Infrastructure upgrades, including new water and sewer connections to City of Oxnard systems (8-inch water line and sewer main on Rose Avenue or Collins Street), stormwater improvements (15,000 CF underground infiltration basin and detention basin), and utility undergrounding along public rights-of-way.
• Phase II-A and II-B (Post-Annexation): Development of the southern campus expansion area with:
• A new parking lot (Parking Lot A, 150 spaces) and 450-foot student drop-off area along Rose Avenue to reduce congestion.
• A dedicated bus drop-off area near the existing gymnasium.
• A 2.7-acre District Transportation and Parking Facility (DTPF) in the southeastern corner, with 20,338 SF of buildings (10,800 SF DTPF building, 6,850 SF food service building, two 1,080 SF portable offices, 528 SF restroom), 26 bus parking spaces, 35 standard spaces, and four accessible spaces.
• An instructional/athletic expansion area with a 4,000 SF library/media center, 11,600 SF classroom building, 3,575 SF multi-purpose building, two potential portable classrooms, four sand volleyball courts, two basketball courts, and a flex multi-sport playfield (configurable as a soccer or baseball field).
• Infrastructure: Fire access roads connecting to Collins Street and existing campus roads, using rubberized asphalt, subject to Oxnard Fire Department approval.
The project buildout is anticipated to occur over 2–3 years, starting after necessary permits and annexation approvals. The Final SEIR addresses the 2017 City of Oxnard CEQA Guidelines, as requested by the City, and includes updated traffic, water, and historic resources analyses.
