It's good news. It's a standard stock split which will have no dilutive effect whatsoever. Splits are a very routine thing.
All they will do is triple the number of shares outstanding and divide the current value of each by three. If there were earnings per share, that would be divided with the stock. There is no effect as far as dilution in anyway. Everyone ends up with the same percentage ownership of the company and the same net value as they had before.
Mr. Schwartz has promised many times to increase the liquidity of the stock as this is in the interest of shareholders... especially larger ones. Also, it makes this stock more friendly to institutions which, as a rule, appreciate liquidity.

I should emphasize that that report is asking for an increase in the number of authorized shares by a factor of three which isn't the exact same thing as announcing a 3 for 1 stock split, but that's certainly what it appears to be.
PS: Hold on a sec... you attended Cal Poly? I just graduated from there recently.
Strange... we may even have met. Depending, of course, on when it was that you were there.
