Buena Park High School Field Improvements Project

Buena Park High School Field Improvements Project

The proposed project would install 18 new field lights at the existing baseball and softball fields. No other development or installation of educational-related structures would occur as part of the proposed project. ¦ Eight field lights would be located along the perimeter of the varsity baseball field. One light would have an approximate height of 60 feet, four lights would have an approximate height of 70 feet, and three lights would have an approximate height of 80 feet. ¦ Six field lights would be located along the perimeter of the junior varsity baseball field. One light would have an approximate height of 70 feet, and five lights would have an approximate height of 80 feet. ¦ Four field lights would be located along the perimeter of the varsity softball field. One light would have an approximate height of 60 feet, two lights would have an approximate height of 70 feet, and one light would have an approximate height of 80 feet. With the addition of field lights, the proposed project would add 11 evening practices between 3:30 PM and 8:00 PM for baseball and softball. No other changes to operations are proposed: the proposed project would not result in any changes to the number of participants, time of year (season), or number of spectators for games at BPHS. The proposed project would not increase enrollment capacity or student enrollment at BPHS. Major spectator events such as varsity football games would continue to occur at Buena Park High School, Fullerton Union High School, and La Habra High School. Construction of the proposed project would occur in a single phase, anticipated to begin in March 2027 (no confirmed end date as of this notice). All construction activities would comply with the City of Buena Park's noise standards in Section 8.28 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits construction-generated noise between 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM Monday through Saturday, and at any time on Sundays, anticipated to begin in March 2027. The discretionary actions and approvals required for project implementation are 1) project approval by the District, 2) the adoption of the MND, and 3) the adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
