"This Environmental Impact Report (EIR) assesses the potentially significant environmental effects of the proposed University of California Santa Cruz 2005 Long range development plan (hereinafter 2005 LRDP). The 2005 LRDP has been prepared to accommodate an increase in enrollment and increased academic and research activities at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz) to meet the projected educational and research of 1,520 employees over 2003-04 levels. In addition to analyzing the potential impacts of campus growth under the 2005 LRDP at a program level, this EIR addresses the project-specific environmental effects associated with three projects: the Infrastructure Improvement Project, the Family Student Housing Redevelopment Project, and the 2300 Delaware Avenue Project"--1-1, Introduction.

Accompanying CD-ROM contains Draft 2005 LRDP (January 2005) and Draft 2005 LRDP EIR (October 2005).

"The 2021 UC Santa Cruz Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) envisions a comprehensive framework to guide future physical planning on the Main Residential Campus and at Westside Research Park. The LRDP integrates UC Santa Cruz's academic mission with environmental stewardship and sustainable growth strategies to guide campus evolution and integrity...The campus is planning for the next twenty years, through 2040. The LRDP prepares the campus for the potential addition of 8,500 students above the 19,500 student enrollment projection in the 2005 LRDP, for a total projected on-campus, three-quarter average, full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment projection of 28,000. This potential projected population represents a planning envelope, used to determine the facilities and infrastructure that would be needed to support this growth projection figure and to provide a basis for evaluating physical environmental impacts associated with it. In addition to students, an additional 2,200 FTE on campus faculty and staff are projected to support on-campus growth, for a total employee projection of 5,000" --
