    WWelcomeelcome ttoo TTroy...roy... Did You Know? · The USC School of Cinema c Arts (above) was proud to both celebrate its 80th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic year, and open the doors on the fi rst two buildings in its new Cinema c Arts complex, which pays homage to the cinema c history of Southern California and USC. The new Cinema c Arts complex was built, thanks to a $175 million dona on by USC alumnus George Lucas. The now-completed complex includes an anima on building, soundstages and a produc on center. In February 2010, the Princeton Review ranked USC's Interac ve Media division as the No. 1 video-game design program in North America. Game design formally got its start at USC in 2002, when the USC School of Cinema c Arts launched its MFA in interac ve media, although a core game-design workshop had been in place since 1999. In 2004, the school unveiled the Game Innova on Lab, a state-of-the-art research space and think tank for game design and crea on. A B.A. in interac ve entertainment was fi rst off ered in 2005. Today, USC off ers four degrees in video-game development at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

  • IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources 1. Introduction This section of the Draft EIR focuses on the proposed Project’s impacts on cultural historic resources, including historic, archaeological and paleontological resources. The analysis of historic resources is based on the Historic Resources Evaluation for the University Park Campus Development Plan (USC Development Plan) prepared by Architectural Resources Group (December 2009) and the Supplemental Historic Resources report prepared by Historic Resources Group (May 2010). These reports are included as Appendix C of this Draft EIR, and are herein incorporated by reference. In addition, the analysis of potential impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources is based on records searches that were conducted as well as review of existing conditions within the site. 2. Environmental Setting a. Regulatory Framework (1) Historical Resources Several levels of government contain historic resources within their jurisdictions. The framework for the identification and, in certain instances, protection of historic resources is established at the Federal level, while the identification, documentation, and protection of such resources are often undertaken by state and local governments. The principle federal, state, and local laws governing and influencing the preservation of historic resources of national, state, regional, and local significance include the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended; the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the California Register of Historical Resources; Public Resources Code (PRC) 5024; and the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance (Los Angeles Administrative Code, Section 22.130).

  • IV.J.4 Public Services
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis J.4 Public Services – Parks and Recreation 1. Introduction This section addresses the proposed Project’s potential impacts on the public parks and recreation facilities administered by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP). The analysis identifies and describes the existing parks and recreation facilities in the Project vicinity and focuses on whether existing facilities are sufficient to accommodate the growth that could be potentially generated by the Project. The analysis also evaluates the proposed Project’s consistency with applicable City goals and regulatory requirements that address parks and recreation. 2. Environmental Setting a. Existing Conditions (1) City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks DRP is responsible for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of parks and recreational facilities in the City. Currently, the DRP operates and maintains 15,710 acres of parkland with 390 parks, nine lakes, 176 recreation centers, 372 children’s play areas, 13 golf courses, 287 tennis courts, 9 dog parks, 59 swimming pools, and 7 skate parks. Nearly 13,000 acres of parkland are located in “Regional Parks” (more than 50 acres in size). The City conservatively omits regional parks from its park-to-population ratio because these parks are not distributed evenly across all areas of the City. The DRP also provides other recreational services including senior activities, meal programs, afterschool and day care for children, teen clubs, as well as basketball, volleyball, softball and flag football games and leagues. Table IV.J-21 on page IV.J-91 shows the 2008 inventory of parkland in the City.
