DISCUSSION ITEM

For Meeting of September 15, 2015

REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2005-2020 LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, SANTA CRUZ CAMPUS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report provides the five-year update on the status of implementation of the Santa Cruz Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) as required by the Regents. The update includes information on the status of campus enrollment, academic programs, and physical development since adoption of the 2005 LRDP, and implementation status of 2005 LRDP Environmental Impact Report mitigation measures. This update also includes five-year projections for enrollment, academic programs, and physical development to support campus programs. The Regents adopted the 2005 LRDP in September 2006, and the campus last provided an update in May 2010. This is an information item and no action is required.

BACKGROUND

In September 2006, the Regents certified the UC Santa Cruz 2005 Long Range Development Plan Environmental Impact Report (2005 LRDP EIR) and adopted the 2005 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). As part of that approval, the Regents required UC Santa Cruz to report at a regularly scheduled meeting by September 2010, and every five years thereafter, the following:

a. Status of undergraduate and graduate enrollment and development of new academic programs, including projections for the next five years;

b. Status of completed or approved physical projects since adoption of the 2005 LRDP, and the development program and plans for the following five years, which shall include campus expansion outside the City's jurisdictional limits and potential off- campus development; and

c. Implementation status of mitigation measures in the 2005 LRDP EIR.

The 2005 LRDP for the Santa Cruz campus provides the general land use plan to guide the physical development of the main campus; objectives and physical planning principles and COMMITTEE ON -2- GB7 GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS September 15, 2015 guidelines; and estimates new building space needed to support program expansion, housing and student life services, and infrastructure through the planning horizon year 2020-21.

As with all campus LRDPs, the fundamental principle of the UCSC 2005 LRDP is that the campus’ capital investment and land use strategies should align with and promote the academic goals of the campus.

(a) Campus Enrollment

The 2005 LRDP was designed to accommodate a three-quarter-average on-campus enrollment of up to 19,500 full-time equivalent (FTE) students for the 2020-21 planning horizon. The campus’s most recent long-range enrollment plan still anticipates this planning figure. In order to support a fully developed range of focused graduate programs and appropriate professional programs, the physical framework represented by the 2005 LRDP anticipated a greater proportion (about 15 percent) of graduate and professional students.

At the time of the previous status report, UC Santa Cruz’s 2008-09 enrollment was 16,809 FTE students (a three-quarter average, on-campus enrollment of 15,780 FTE students plus off-campus and summer enrollments). In 2014-15, enrollment was 17,218 FTE students (a three-quarter average, on-campus enrollment of 16,991 FTE students plus off-campus and summer enrollments).

UC Santa Cruz enrollment, academic program, and capital planning continues so that the campus will be prepared to respond quickly to changes in enrollment, research growth, fundraising success, and State funding. When resources allow, the campus will be ready to proceed with growth and development allowed under the 2005 LRDP.

Academic Year Enrollment 2006-2007 14,574 2007-2008 14,968 2008-2009 15,780 2009-2010 16,014 2010-2011 16,131 2011-2012 16,382 2012-2013 16,433 2013-2014 16,247 2014-2015 16,991

(three-quarter average, on-campus FTE)

New Academic Program Development

The campus continues to consider new degree offerings designed to increase the breadth of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs on the Santa Cruz campus and to address COMMITTEE ON -3- GB7 GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS September 15, 2015

State needs. The campus is exploring development of graduate and professional programs on property leased at the NASA at Moffett Field in Silicon Valley.

Since the approval of the 2005 LRDP, the campus has received approval for ten new undergraduate programs and 13 graduate programs:

Undergraduate programs: Graduate and Professional programs:

 Art Design: Games and Playable Media  Collaborative Leadership Ed.D. B.A.  Feminist Studies Ph.D.  Bioengineering B.S.  Film and Digital Media Ph.D.  Cognitive Science B.S.  Games and Playable Media M.S.  Computer Science: Computer Game  Latin American and Latino Studies Design B.S. Ph.D.  Critical Race and Ethnic Studies B.A.  Music Ph.D.  Jewish Studies B.A.  Scientific Computing and Applied  Network & Digital Technology B.A. Mathematics M.S.  Physics Education B.S.  Statistics & Applied Mathematics  Robotics Engineering B.S. M.S. and Ph.D.  Spanish Studies B.A.  Technology and Information Management M.S. and Ph.D.  Theater Arts M.A.  Visual Studies Ph.D.

In addition, 14 degree programs, primarily at the graduate level, are in various stages of campus review. These programs are detailed in the campus’ most recent five-year (2015-2020) list of proposed new academic programs. (See Attachment 1.) COMMITTEE ON -4- GB7 GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS September 15, 2015

(b) New Physical Development

Since the adoption of the 2005 LRDP, the campus has completed ten major physical development projects and has received approval for an additional six major projects:

Completed projects: Approved projects:

 Biomedical Sciences Facility  Alterations for Academic Programs  Cogeneration Plant Replacement Phase 1 (2300 Delaware)  Cowell Student Health Center  Coastal Biology Building Expansion and Renovation  Coastal Science Campus (CSC)  Digital Arts Research Center Environmental Health and Safety  Emergency Response Center Facility  Humanities and Social Sciences  CSC Marine Mammal Pools Complex Renovation and Expansion  McHenry Library Addition and  Environmental Health and Safety Renovation Facility  House A Expansion  Life Safety Upgrades  Porter College House B Expansion  Ranch View Terrace, Phase 1

In addition, the campus undertook or approved a number of other smaller research laboratory renovations (within existing buildings), a fiber-optic infrastructure upgrade, campus-wide telecommunications infrastructure improvements (Phase A and Phase B), building seismic upgrades and capital renewals (including 2300 Delaware Building C; Cardiff House, Commons; Cowell Student Health Center; Infill Apartments, Buildings A, B, C, and D; Porter Buildings A, B, and C; Redwood Building, Stevenson College Event Center; Student Union; and West Field House), deferred maintenance projects, and sustainability projects as part of the Statewide Energy Partnership Program. Work was completed on Infrastructure Improvements, Phases 1 and 2 (including storm water, cooling water, fire protection, natural gas, and electricity), which were approved prior to the Regents’ certification of the 2005 LRDP.

The current 2014-24 Capital Financial Plan (Attachment 2), approved by the Regents in November 2014, describes the capital projects anticipated under the current UC enrollment and State funding assumptions for capital planning purposes. The projects in this plan are designed to address existing academic space deficiencies in core instructional and research facilities; retrofit/upgrade facilities; renew and extend core infrastructure; and address the requirements of auxiliary functions (housing, student-fee-funded, and parking projects). The systemwide Capital Financial Plan is updated annually and presented to the Regents in November each year. The 2015-2025 Capital Financial Plan for UCSC includes the proposed acquisition to relocate the existing UCSC Extension program in Santa Clara, subject to a separate action before the Regents Committee on Finance.

(c) Implementation of 2005 LRDP EIR Mitigation Measures

A Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) for the 2005 LRDP EIR was adopted in September 2006 in conjunction with the Regents approval of the 2005 LRDP and EIR. The MMP is presented as a table that includes the full text of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR. (See Attachment 3.)

The campus’ annual Mitigation Monitoring Report (Attachment 3) provides a description of activity undertaken by each responsible department relative to each mitigation measure and, if applicable, links to detailed reports or other supporting documentation of mitigation activity.

The most current annual MMR demonstrates that the campus fulfilled its mitigation commitments by implementing or monitoring the 61 general campus mitigation measures. These 61 mitigation measures along with project level mitigations contain a total of 86 individual mitigation commitments:

 ten of these commitments were completed during the 2013-14 reporting period or in the previous year and require no further action in future years;  62 ongoing mitigation commitments were implemented during the 2013-14 reporting year but require further action in future years;  five were in progress but not completed during the reporting period;  one general campus mitigation is monitored at the project level; and  eight were not triggered.

Implementation of Comprehensive Settlement Agreement

Following legal action on the 2005 LRDP EIR, the Regents entered into a Comprehensive Settlement Agreement in August 2008. This agreement outlined required actions on the part of both the University and the City of Santa Cruz. The jointly-prepared 2013-14 annual report (December 2014) is posted on the campus website. (See Attachment 3.)

Next reporting cycle

The next update will be reported to the Regents on or before September 2020. COMMITTEE ON -6- GB7 GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS September 15, 2015
