UCP Update and VST Specific Plan

UCP Update and VST Specific Plan

Proposed update to the 2004 University Community Plan (Adopted UCP) located south of the University of California (UC), Merced campus. The proposed plan update would remove a portion of the UCP area owned by UC Merced from the County's UCP, expand the UCP area east to align with current land ownership, and update the land uses proposed within the 654-acre Virginia Smith Trust (VST) Specific Plan that would comprise the northern portion of the revised UCP
