Title

Amendment to UC Santa Cruz 2005 Long Range Development Plan for Student Housing

Description

The UC, Santa Cruz Campus (UC Santa Cruz) is proposing an amendment to the UC Santa Cruz 2005 Long Range Development Plan ("2005 LRDP") to support the future development of student housing in the western portion of the UC Santa Cruz main campus. The proposed LRDP Amendment would change the land use designation of ~14 acres of land from Campus Resource Land (CRL) to Colleges and Student Housing (CSH). The proposed action would facilitate the future development of student housing. The proposed action supports the UC system-wide Housing Initiative, which was announced by UC President Janet Napolitano in January 2016. The overarching goals of the housing initiative are two-fold: first, to ensure that each of UC's campuses has sufficient housing for its growing student populace; and second, to keep housing as affordable as possible for UC students. At the Santa Cruz campus, the housing initiative will support the development of new apartment-style housing for 3,000 upper division undergraduate and graduate students and students with families.
