East Valley New Middle School No. 2
As part of an ongoing services contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Aspen prepared and EIR for a middle school proposed to be located at the previous Van Nuys Drive-In site in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles. The EIR focused on impacts associated with air quality emission, on-site hazards and hazardous materials, project-generated noise, land use and planning, and traffic and transportation. Major issues of concern included traffic and noise generated by school operation activities.
The EIR included LAUSD design standards and measures employed to minimize environmental impacts. During the EIR process, Aspen coordinated with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation to minimize project traffic impacts through mitigation options including mitigation fees.
