INTRODUCTION Contents of this section: PROJECT OBJECTIVES PROCESS TO DATE PROPOSED ACTION ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SUMMARY PROJECT-RELATED APPROVALS DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION PROJECT OBJECTIVES Planned to accomplish goals and objectives of the University of California, Berkeley 2020 Long Range Development Plan, the Stiles Site Student Housing project is also planned to meet several project-specific objectives: 1. Provide additional student housing beds to meet objectives of the 2020 LRDP to provide bed spaces equal to 100% of entering freshman by the year 2020; also provide bed capacity to support potential housing redevelopment (Stiles Developer RFQ, February 2015). 2. Provide affordable, economical housing for Berkeley students, particularly freshmen, in a setting that is supportive socially and pedagogically (Stiles Developer RFQ, February 2015). 3. Develop a student housing facility of sufficient density to enable it to cost efficiently provide student housing services supportive of new students to the Berkeley campus. 4. Develop a project that is financially feasible for a third party to finance, own and operate by a third party and thereby avoid impacts on constrained University capital resources. 5. Implement policies of the 2020 LRDP, including among others: x City Environs policies of the 2020 LRDP: Plan projects to respect and enhance the character, livability, and cultural vitality of the city environs. Use municipal plans and policies to inform capital projects in the city environs. Prioritize space on the adjacent blocks for museums, research, cultural and service programs that require campus park proximity. x Housing policies of the 2020 LRDP: The objectives for the 2020 LRDP include a significant program of new undergraduate, graduate, and faculty housing. These objectives include location criteria: - New lower division student housing should be within a one mile radius of the center of campus, defined as Doe Library. – Increase single undergraduate bed space to equal 100% of entering freshmen plus 50% of sophomores and entering transfer students by 2020. April 2016 Stiles Site Student Housing Addendum page 2 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ADDENDUM | STILES SITE STUDENT HOUSING PROJECT x Campus Land Use policies of the 2020 LRDP, including compliance with Location Guidelines (section 3.1.16 of the 2020 LRDP); and intensification of uses on university-owned land adjacent to the Campus Park. x Stewardship policies: Plan every new project to represent the optimal investment of land and capital in the future of the campus. Plan every project as a model of resource conservation and environmental stewardship. Maintain and enhance the image of the campus, and preserve our historic legacy of landscape and architecture. Plan every new project to respect and enhance the character, livability and cultural vitality of our City Environs. x Sustainability policies: Minimize energy use in travel to and within the campus; optimize the use, and adaptive reuse, of existing facilities; plan, operate, and construct the project to support achievement of campus greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. 6. Ensure Stiles Hall, the existing non-profit program currently operating at Bancroft and Dana, is not permanently displaced. Ensure it is able to maintain consistent operations throughout construction and following construction is housed in facilities that allow it to better meet its programmatic goals with reduced facilities maintenance burdens. PROCESS TO DATE UC Berkeley held a community meeting on the project the evening of November 16, 2015. Approximately 15 people attended, reviewing large boards with illustrations of the project, and hearing a presentation about the project from the architectural team, with a question and discussion period. Assistant Vice Chancellor Emily Marthinsen moderated the meeting. The executive director of Stiles Hall, David Stark, attended to speak in favor of the project. There was general support for the project among community members; concerns mentioned were about construction impacts of the project, design considerations including density of the project, and potential historic character of the existing building housing the non-profit Stiles Hall, and a mural facing the project site. The University subsequently contracted with Knapp Architects for historic evaluation of the existing Stiles Hall and the mural. Stiles Hall is not considered to be individually significant under California Register Criteria 1, 2 or 3; the mural, Lou Silva’s Cross Section, completed in 1970, is not considered significant under applicable criteria (Knapp Architects, 2016). An informal technical review session between the University, architectural team, and City of Berkeley staff, looking at early schematics for the project, took place in February, 2016. As further described in Section III, below, the project was also reviewed with the City of Berkeley Design Review Committee on March 17, 2016. Prior to close of the public comment period on this Addendum, an editorial with objections to the project was published in the local press (Berkeleyside), urging individuals to comment. The comment pages in response to the editorial tended to strongly favor the project. Seventeen individuals also wrote to support the project, thirteen wrote with objections. Please see the response to comment portion of this Addendum. April 2016 Stiles Site Student Housing Addendum page 3 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ADDENDUM | STILES SITE STUDENT HOUSING PROJECT PROPOSED ACTION In order to accomplish key objectives, the University of California, Berkeley would enter into a ground lease with a American Campus Communities (ACC), a university housing development company, and Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB), architects in order to construct and operate, in conjunction with UC Berkeley student housing programs, a new 183,500 GSF dormitory-style housing project comprised of 783 beds, located south of the UC Berkeley Campus Park, between Bancroft Way to the north, Durant Avenue to the south, and Dana Street to the west, in the City of Berkeley, CA. The proposed project, referred to as Stiles Site Student Housing Project, would replace an existing 6,823 gross square foot two story building at 2400 Bancroft Way on the referenced block. Approximately 124 parking spaces serving UC Berkeley affiliates, including 84 striped parking spaces, will be removed by construction of the project. The University would also enter into an agreement with the non-profit community service organization Stiles Hall operating at 2400 Bancroft, to provide updated space with reduced facilities maintenance burdens within the new building, and 4000 square feet of interim facilities in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union building, in the one-time bowling alley space, to allow programs to operate continuously while the project is constructed. The Stiles Site Student Housing Project is a mixed-use project proposed primarily for the purposes of providing incoming first year students state-of-the-art dormitory style residential accommodations. Accordingly, the project is planning for 779 beds in “pods” (distinct communities) of nominally 30 students each, housed primarily in double-occupancy units. (Two two bedroom apartments would house resident directors on site, adding four additional beds.) Each pod will include a dedicated resident advisor. Residents of each pod will have access to a variety of floor study lounge areas. Each pod will have gender inclusive bathroom facilities. Typical residential floors will include four pods of student communities, and a laundry room. The mixed-use components of the project are proposed to be located at the ground level, and include student housing amenities, administrative offices and support; approximately 7,000 SF of retail space for lease, subject to local taxation; and a 5,300 square foot tenant space for Stiles Hall. The only parking associated with the project is planned to accommodate approximately 85 bicycles for student residents and visitors; resident bicycle parking will be provided in a secured bike room accessed off of Durant Avenue. On-street bicycle parking (8 spaces) would be provided near the other entrances to the building and retail. Student residents would be expected to dine at campus facilities, or at Crossroads, or Unit 3 dining commons. As described further below (see Section II Project Description) the University proposes to maximize the development potential of the site by constructing an eight story building. The proposed height and density of the building would mediate between the Telegraph Commercial Subarea at the Bancroft frontage east of the site, and the University’s nine-story residential units south of the project site, consistent with goals of the Southside Plan to build a more cohesive

  • Berkeley Model United Nations ADVISOR GUIDE Dear Advisors, Delegates, and Visitors
    Berkeley Model United Nations ADVISOR GUIDE Dear Advisors, Delegates, and Visitors, I have the distinct honor and privilege of welcoming you all to the Sixty-Ninth Session of Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN), which will be held from February 26th to 28th, 2021 at the prestigious campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The oldest Model UN conference in the world, BMUN was founded in 1952 by a small group of students at UC Berkeley. For the better part of a century, BMUN has upheld their legacy through thick and thin. Today, the BMUN secretariat continues to orchestrate one of the largest Model United Nations conferences in the world, bolstered by our educational mission and outreach initiatives. Our Secretariat fosters a singularly unique forum where thousands of delegates are empowered to conquer fears of public speaking, learn the value of diplomacy, and contextualize themselves and the issues they debate in the greater geopolitical landscape. Indeed, the skills necessary to succeed at BMUN, from creative problem solving to substantive critical thinking, lend themselves to success in all other pursuits. It is this multidimensionality that we hope to capture at BMUN and beyond. in Model United Nations have a phenomenal capacity to empower high school students. We are therefore continuously striving to expand our reach both in the Bay Area and around the globe. Our constantly evolving Outreach program allows us to conduct workshops with local high schools and provide resources for delegates and advisors in conjunction with our BMUN Learn website. With more in-depth educational initiatives such as our annual Delegate Workshop and Berkeley Model Arab League conferences in addition to international outreach in the form of our BMUN China and BMUN Malta conferences, BMUN is poised to deliver an education experience like no other.

Supplementary Notes http://ao.umn.edu/publications/ http://www.cts.umn.edu/Publications/ResearchReports/ 16. Abstract (Limit: 250 words) Accessibility is the ease of reaching valued destinations. It can be measured across different times of day (accessibility in the morning rush might be lower than the less-congested midday period). It can be measured for each mode (accessibility by walking is usually lower than accessibility by transit, which is usually lower than accessibility by car). There are a variety of ways to measure accessibility, but the number of destinations reachable within a given travel time is the most comprehensible and transparent as well as the most directly comparable across cities. This report examines accessibility to jobs by transit in 49 of the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States.

  • The Travelin' Grampa
    The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on safe, fast, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Vol. 11, No. 9, September 2018 Photo credit: Sydney Chang, The Daily Californian. AC Transit recently introduced a new 51C bus route to serve the Berkeley campus of the University of California, which also is served by its 51A and 51B buses, two of its busiest routes, with more than 19,000 riders daily, linking Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda and intermediate stops, including four BART subway-elevated rail system stations. September is back to school month for public transit When Grampa was a boy, presenters from the local public transit system came to his elementary school once a year, putting on an interesting, entertaining and educational show, emphasizing how to ride enjoyably and safely on its streetcars and buses. He recalls they cited the perils of boys “hitching rides” on the sides of a trolley car, or of roller skating while holding onto one. Decades afterward, public transit systems seemed to largely ignore kids, focusing instead on daily commuters. Lately, however, as the following pages attest, they are paying attention to kids again. Small wonder. Of the 1.6-million Chicago Transit Authority weekday riders, for example, some 135,000, one in 10, are of school-age. About 107,000, ride on buses and 28,000 on “L” (subway elevated) trains. This seems typical. Nationwide, 10% of bus and 4% of rail riders are age 19 or younger, while 7% are students, says an American Public Transportation Association report.
