Document Description
The project site consists of approximately 25 acres and is located near the northwest intersection of River Oaks Boulevard and Kensington Drive in Plumas Lake. The proposed Plumas Lake Middle School project involves constructing and operating a new middle school campus and an access road connecting to River Oaks Boulevard, with facilities including a multi-purpose room, gymnasium, administration and library buildings, 44 classrooms, sports fields, and parking and circulation infrastructure. Construction would occur in four phases between Spring 2026 and Fall 2030, with operations beginning in Fall 2027, and full buildout reaching a enrollment design capacity for 1,200 students (with an anticipated enrollment of about 972). Students currently enrolled at Riverside Meadows Middle School (Grades 6–8) would be reassigned to the new Plumas Lake Middle School. In addition, elementary students from Cobblestone Elementary and Rio Del Oro Elementary (Grades TK–5) would be redistributed evenly across Cobblestone Elementary School, Rio Del Oro Elementary School, and Riverside Meadows Middle School. No physical improvements to any of the three existing campuses would occur.
