PLANNING Demolition of Building at the Old School House Property On Monday, April 2, construction crews will begin demolition of the vacant three-story hotel building located north of Buca di Beppo and west of the Candlelight Pavilion. The contractor estimates the demolition to take four weeks. A 30-unit, three-story condominium building and a two-level parking garage will be built at the site. The project was approved by the Architectural Commission on July 26, 2017, and will serve as a centerpiece of the Old School House (OSH) Specific Plan area. Renderings for the condo project are shown below. Previous developments under the OSH Specific Plan included renovation of the DoubleTree Hotel, renovation of the OSH retail and office complex, and construction of a new retail building that includes Trader Joe’s Market. The property owner is currently finalizing the condo construction plans. The public will be notified once the building permit is issued and construction is scheduled to begin.
CONSTRUCTION UPDATES Golden State Water Main Line Installation – Harwood Avenue Golden State Water will continue installation of a new water main line on Harwood Avenue (between Mills Avenue to Brooks Avenue) next week.

Telecommunication Conduit Installation – Base Line Road On Monday, March 26, crews will begin work on the installation of telecommunication conduit on Base Line Road, between Villa Maria Road and Oxford Avenue.

During construction, drivers and pedestrians are directed to follow the appropriate construction signs and remember to share the road with bicyclists. For more information, please contact the Engineering Division at (909) 399-5465. COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT Outdoor Lighting Restrictions The City reminds residents and business owners to be respectful of neighbors with regard to exterior outdoor lighting and glare.

College Park Lighting Project
This month, the City will begin installing new park lights at College Park. The College Park Lighting Project will
include adding 29 LED park lights and 10 building mounted fixtures. The lights will serve both parking lots and
the pedestrian walkways. The lighting design was reviewed with neighbors and youth sports groups at a
community meeting. The design was also reviewed and approved by the Parks, Hillsides, and Utilities
Committee, the Community and Human Services Commission, and the City Council.
Construction is anticipated to take 60 days, with an estimated completion date in late April. Staff will
coordinate with the contractor and Little League to ensure that youth sports groups have safe and reasonable
access to the fields, parking lots, and restrooms during the construction period. For more information, please
