Present Land Use
Federal facility owner by the U.S. Department of Energy and, therefore, city or county organizations have no planning jurisdiction at the site. Onsite land uses include offices, laboratory buildings, support facilities, roadways, parking areas, and landscaping. The Alameda County General Plan land use designations for the site are "industrial," and "industrial or agricultural," and the Livermore Community Plan land use designation is "Low Intensity Industrial." The site is zoned "Industrial Park" by Alameda County and "light industrial" by the City of Livermore.
Document Description
The project consists of construction and operation of a Biosafety Level 3 facility at LLNL, Livermore California. The proposed action and alternatives differ mainly in how the facility would be constructed. In all of the alternatives, the BSL-3 facility would be designed and operated in accordance with guidance for BSL-3 laboratories established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
