UCLA 2002 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and Northwest Housing Infill Project

UCLA 2002 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and Northwest Housing Infill Project

The University of California, Los Angeles proposes to update the campus' Long Range Development Plan (LRDP), previously adopted by the Regents of the University of California in November 1990. The 2002 LRDP will be undertaken to address anticipated growth in enrollment of approximately 4,000 full-time-equivalent students by the year 2010. Planning efforts underway to update the LRDP have converged with planning to address the housing needs of existing and anticipated enrollment. UCLA now proposes to construct additional on-campus student housing in the Northwest Housing Infill Project (NW Hsg). The NW Hsg project would include up to 2,000 beds of undergraduate student housing in three or more buildings, a parking facility to provide approximately 299 spaces (approximately 233 replacement and 66 new); a recreation facility and reconfiguration of the ground floors of three existing residence halls. The project would result in the construction of up to 550,000 gross square feet (gsf) of net new development. The 1990 LRDP FEIR previously analyzed the environmental consquences of 3.71 million gsf of new development between 1990 and 2005. The 2002 LRDP will evaluate the anticipated enrollment increase and the completion, by approximately 2010, of the previously analyzed development program, of which approximately 1.9 million gsf remains. In this regard, the LRDP will consider the potential environmental effects of the development of approximately 1.9 million gsf of space for academic, research, housing and other uses on campus. It is envisioned that the EIR will include a program level analysis for implementation of the 2002 LRDP; and a project level analysis for implementation of proposed NW Hsg Project element of the 2002 LRDP; and a project level analysis for implementation of the proposed NW Hsg Project element of the 2002 LRDP. Furthermore, the 2002 LRDP EIR will incorporate the 1990 LRDP mitigation measures as appropriate, including the limits on the campus overall parking inventory and vehicular trip generation. By so doing, the 2002 LRDP will extend 1990 LRDP from the original 2005 horizon year to 2010 by maintaining the overall development square footage, parking and trip generation limits of the plan while accommodating an increased level of enrollment and associated population growth.
