4 What is the LRDP? The Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is the official, general land use plan that guides the physical development of the campus. The LRDP identifies planned enrollment and program growth, projected faculty and staff population, and estimates the amount of development needed to support that growth. The LRDP is an important reference document for the campus and community as it defines the outer envelope for campus growth in the period covered by the plan. The Regents approve each LRDP and its accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR). It does not commit the campus to specific projects; must provide flexibility for changing conditions.

5 2004 LRDP Land Use Plan The 2004 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is a general land use plan and capacity analysis that guides the physical development of the campus. Previous LRDP s were prepared in 1963, 1966, 1981 and Land Use Plan identifies Predominant Use.

6 2004 LRDP: Campus Assumptions 2004 LRDP (as of ) 2004 LRDP (Projected) Actual Headcount Enrollment Total Population Development Gross Square Feet 23,000 29,900 33,700? 33,100 49,700 44,705? 10,082,000 19,159,000 17,000,000? Housing (Beds) 8,300 14,950 13,568?

7 Why Update the LRDP? Alignment with Campus Strategic Plan goals Enrollments and population nearing/exceeding projections More stringent sustainability mandates; new regulations; alignment with Climate Action Plan Increasing public scrutiny; demonstrate to community our commitment to effectively manage campus growth Impact of Regional Transportation Improvements, including Light Rail Transit

8 LRDP Environmental Impact Report An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would be prepared to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LRDP EIR would analyze full implementation of uses and physical growth proposed under the LRDP (to ), and would identify measures to mitigate the impacts associated with that growth. LRDP EIR addresses impacts such as: Transportation, Traffic and Parking Biological Resources Hydrology and Water Quality Air Quality Aesthetics GHG Emissions Public Services/Infrastructure Cultural and Historical Resources

10 Sustainability UCSD Climate Action Plan: 7 Areas of Emphasis Academics and Research Energy and Climate Operations Procurement Recycling / Waste Minimization Transportation Water

11 Sustainability With a daily population of close to 50,000, UC San Diego is the size and complexity of a small city. As a research and medical institution, we have two times the energy density of commercial buildings. UC San Diego Operates a 42 MWpeak Microgrid 18.3 million sq. ft. of buildings, $200M/yr of building growth Self generate 90% of annual demand which makes us still one of the local utilities companies largest customers. 3rd largest water user in City

12 Sustainability Energy & Climate On Campus Supply Fossil Fuel Central Utility Plant cogenerates 90% of campus power 30 MW capacity, 2 natural gas and 1 steam turbine. Reduces annual electric costs by $8M. 60,000 metric tons CO2 avoided Looking for ways to convert to renewable energy fuels such as biogas.

13 Fuel Cell, Solar PV and Solar Water Heating Sustainability Energy & Climate On Campus Supply - Renewables Have covered all optimal locations Continue to look for opportunities

14 Sustainability Operations Strive for gold and achieve a minimum of LEED Silver on all new construction and renovation projects LEED-NC Platinum: Keeling Apartments UCSD will apply LEED standards to all existing building projects. UCSD has 21 LEED certified buildings, 20 more projects in progress. Using Green Seal products, and sustainable cleaning / pest management practices. LEED-NC Platinum: MESOM

15 Sustainability Water Daily Water Conservation activities strengthen our conservation efforts. UCSD has reduced overall water consumption by 15%. Exceeded UCOP per capita water reduction goal of 20% over baseline. Reduced water use through repair/replacement of obsolete equipment. Converting Central Utility Plant to a recycled water system which will save approximately 150 million gallons of potable water.

16 Sustainability Water UCSD is helping California solve the water dilemma Water use is reduced by: 30% of campus irrigation uses Reclaimed Water Using reclaimed water for irrigation UCSD one of first to connect to system. Natural vegetation Weather & soil moisture controlled watering Low flow fixtures 352,000 sq ft of turf to be converted to low/no-water use landscape saving an estimated 9 million gallons per year. New irrigation nozzles use 20% less water Natural Vegetation

17 Sustainability Transportation Alternative transportation commuting saved nearly 48,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations Green Fleet: More than 50% of fleet vehicles are hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicles MTS SuperLoop Gilman Transit Center

18 Sustainability Future Home to the World s Largest, Most Diversified Portfolio of Energy Storage Systems 2.8 MW Fuel Cell supplies 8% of baseload power with directed biogas renewable fuel 2.5MW Advanced Energy Storage System

19 Sustainability Thermal Energy Storage Tank
