Site Development Strategy

The placement of new buildings is based on minimizing environmental disturbance by using previously developed sites wherever possible. Building heights comply with the zoning code, with the exception of the theater which applied for a height variance of 40’ as part of the 1996 Master Plan. Proposed buildings such as the new Middle School, the Theater and the Multi-Purpose Buildings are tucked into their respective hillsides to minimize their mass.

Building locations and massings were determined with the goal of balancing cut and fill across the site.
