Impact analysis
No direct cost to taxpayers — it's a school district project on private property replacing a vacant, troubled site.
OCA students and athletes get much-needed facilities, and neighbors gain a walking trail and the removal of a dilapidated building.
Neighbors along the south boundary face potential noise, lights, and drainage impacts if buffering commitments aren't kept.
