court, charging that its plans to further its expansion by the demolition of two historically designated homes have been rejected by the City in a manner that violates their freedom of religious expression. The trial concluded October 19, 2012, with the jury ruling in favor of Academy of Our Lady of Peace, awarding $1,111,622.00 in monetary damages. The parties continued to negotiate, and in April 2013 the academy reached a settlement with the City of San Diego, ending the dispute between the school and the city. "The city has agreed to pay to relocate two homes on OLP’s campus while razing a third by May 1, 2014, clearing the way for construction. The settlement also includes provisions limiting the total cost of all permits and inspections to $100,000, fast-track all permits for completion and a $500,000 cash settlement." Groundbreaking on a new on-campus parking facility began May 30, 2014 and the two level parking structure was finished in Spring 2015. The parking structure allows for 104 off-street parking spaces, significantly freeing up congestion of the city streets.
