Section 67504 Of Part 40.5. Capital Outlay Requirements From California Education Code >> Division 5. >> Title 3. >> Part 40.5.
67504
. (a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that based on
academic goals and projected enrollment levels, each University of
California campus and medical center periodically develops a Long
Range Development Plan (LRDP) that guides its physical development,
including land use designations, the location of buildings, and
infrastructure systems, for an established time horizon.
(2) In order to ensure greater legislative oversight over the
process used by the University of California to prepare and implement
each plan, including the accompanying Environmental Impact Report
(EIR), at the time draft LRDPs and draft LRDP EIRs are submitted for
public review, the university is requested to provide the Legislature
with summaries of the draft LRDPs and LRDP EIRs to the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee. The summaries shall also be available
on the university Internet Web site.
(b) (1) The Legislature further finds and declares that the
expansion of campus enrollment and facilities may negatively affect
the surrounding environment. Consistent with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it is the intent of the
Legislature that the University of California sufficiently mitigate
significant off-campus impacts related to campus growth and
development.
(2) On or before March 1 of each year from 2010 to 2012,
inclusive, the University of California is requested to report for
each campus on the status of implementation, including the
implementation dates where applicable, of mitigation measures for
significant off-campus impacts identified consistent with the
requirements of CEQA, including those that require fair share
payments to local agencies. The report shall identify the status of
fair share mitigation agreements with and payments to local agencies
for mitigation of off-campus impacts that are required in certified
EIRs. The report should also list any monetary or equivalent in-kind
payments to local agencies made by the campuses for the mitigation of
off-campus impacts that do not involve fair share language in CEQA
documents and that have been implemented under other arrangements.
For those significant off-campus impacts that have been triggered but
have not been sufficiently mitigated, the university shall report on
the additional steps that are being taken to reach a resolution.
(c) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that each California
State University campus periodically develops a physical master plan
to guide the future development of their facilities, based on
academic goals and projected student enrollment levels, for an
established time horizon.
(2) In order to ensure greater legislative oversight over the
process used by the California State University to prepare and
implement each plan, including the accompanying Environmental Impact
Report (EIR), at the time a draft physical master plan and the
accompanying draft EIR are submitted for public review, the
university shall provide summaries of these documents to the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee. The summaries shall also be available
on the university Internet Web site.
(d) (1) The Legislature further finds and declares that the
expansion of campus enrollment and facilities may negatively affect
the surrounding environment. In view of the case City of Marina v.
the Board of Trustees of the California State University (2006) 639
Cal.4th 341, it is the intent of the Legislature that the California
State University take steps to reach agreements with local public
agencies regarding the mitigation of off-campus impacts related to
campus growth and development.
(2) On or before March 1 of each year from 2010 to 2012,
inclusive, the California State University shall report by campus on
the status of any negotiations with local agencies for mitigation
measures for significant off-campus impacts identified consistent
with the requirements of CEQA, including implementation dates where
applicable. For each impact, this report shall identify whether an
agreement has been reached with local agencies. The report shall also
list any monetary and nonmonetary in-kind payments made by the
campus for the mitigation of off-campus impacts identified as
unavoidable in the certified EIRs. For those impacts for which there
is no agreement, the university shall explain what steps were taken
and if any additional steps will be taken to reach an agreement.
