Coastal Long Range Development Plan

by Diane Lallemand — 2007-03-13 08:39 AM

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.
