Coastal Long Range Development Plan
In September 2004, The Regents of the University of California certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2001112014) for the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Marine Science Campus Coastal Long Range Development Plan (CLRDP) (the 2004 CLRDP FEIR), and adopted findings and a mitigation monitoring program pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Since September 2004, UCSC has met with staff from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) on numerous occasions to discuss the CLRDP and its relationship to the California Coastal Act. These meetings resulted in numerous edits to the CLRDP. A new version of CLRDP was presented to the CCC for action in February 2006. Based on comments at the February hearing, the CLRDP was further edited in March 2006 and again presented to the CCC in April 2006. At the April 2006 CCC hearing, individual Coastal Commissioners expressed concerns over some aspects of the development plan, so UCSC formally withdrew its CLRDP application to allow time for study of these concerns. UCSC completed the latest round of edits to the CLRDP in November 2006 and is now preparing to resubmit the document to CCC for its review and approval.
This Addendum to the 2004 CLRDP FEIR describes and analyzes proposed CLRDP changes, changed circumstances, and new information available since The Board of Regents of the University of California (The Regents) adopted the 2004 CLRDP and certified the 2004 CLRDP FEIR in September 2004. This addendum was prepared in accordance with CEQA to inform the University’s consideration and action on the revised 2006 CLRDP for resubmittal to the California Coastal Commission. The purpose of this Addendum is to describe the proposed revisions to the CLRDP that have been edited into the document since September 2004, including changes in the project that warrant minor changes to the FEIR, and to meet the University’s CEQA obligations for action on the proposed project. As described in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, preparation of an addendum is appropriate where there have been changes in a proposed project and its previously certified Environmental Impact Report, but none of the conditions that call for a supplemental Addendum 1
