Present Land Use
The Ernest O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL or Berkeley Lab) is a national research facility in Berkeley and Oakland, California, operated by the University of California for the Department of Energy (DOE). The 1987 LBNL Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is the governing land use document for Berkeley Lab. The Building 49 site is currently in an area described as "open space" within the designated "Central Research and Administration Area" functional planning area. The G-4 parking lot site is partially within the designated "Central Research and Administration Area" functional planning area and is partially within the "West Strawberry Canyon" buffer area. The southern portion of the site is within an area not designated in the 19687 LBNL LRDP. Berkeley Lab is not subject to local and municipal land use designations and zoning. Nevertheless, Berkeley Lab, including both the Building 49 and G-4 parking lot sites, is designated as "Institutional" space in the City of Berkeley General Plan.
Document Description
The third-party Building 49 development project will construct a six-story, approximately 61,400 gross square feet (gsf) office building on a 1.08-acre site on the hillside east of Cyclotron Road within the boundaries of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The office building will accommodate approximately 240 scientists and support staff. The building site is located within the "Central Research and Administration Area" of the Lab designated for "proposed addition" in the LBNL 1987 Long Range Development Plan ("LRDP"}.
