Students come to San Diego State for a great education, but while they’re enrolled, they can also enjoy the unique San Diego lifestyle. Just a few miles from campus is SDSU’s Mission Bay Aquatic Center, which offers lessons in sailing, kayaking, water skiing and Olympic rowing—all available as one-credit courses through the Department of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences. Alumnus Paul Lang, ’05, who teaches beginning sailing and wakeboarding, said capsize recovery day is his favorite part of the course. “Once stu- dents experience a controlled capsize and recovery, a lot of their fear of water just disappears,” he said.

    2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to describe the proposed San Diego State University (SDSU) New Student Housing project (proposed project) for the public, reviewing agencies, and decision makers. Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., a project description is to contain the following information: (a) the precise location and boundaries of the proposed project, shown on a detailed map, along with a regional map of the project location; (b) a statement of the objectives of the proposed project, which should include the underlying purpose of the project; (c) a general description of the project’s technical, economic, and environmental characteristics; and (d) a statement briefly describing the intended uses of the environmental impact report (EIR). An adequate project description need not be exhaustive, but should supply the information necessary for the evaluation and review of the project’s significant environmental effects. This section describes the proposed project, including its location, characteristics, and objectives, and the intended uses of this EIR. 2.1.2 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is the expansion of on-campus student housing facilities to be located adjacent to the existing Chapultepec Hall. Specifically, the proposed project would consist of the development of facilities to accommodate up to 2,566 student housing beds in a series of residential towers to be located on the existing Parking Lot 9 (formerly “U” Parking Lot) and the areas west and northwest of Parking Lot 9, centering around the existing Chapultepec Hall.

The subject of the hearing at the time was Assembly Bill 17x (Cortese) which is the same as Senate Bills 13x and 1250 (Torres) . Senate Bill 1250 is expected to be heard by the Assembly Ways and Means on January 24, 1990. In response to your request we have worked with the University of California, the California State University System, the Department of General Services, and the Office of Emergency Services to develop the attache? estimates. We have compiled this information into a single list which draws on existing information derived from the Commission report titled "Seismic Hazard Survey - State of California Buildings", SSC-604, April 1981, by Degenkolb and Associates and preliminary (and not always consistent) estimates by the four agencies. The inconsistencies between agencies are not critical at this stage since this information is preliminary. The 1981 report surveyed 1350 University of California, California State University, and other state office buildings and listed building size, age and type of construction, number of occupants, and ranked the buildings according to a ratio that considered the cost and possible lessening of life loss.
