The Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is the official, general land use plan that guides the physical development of the campus.
• The LRDP identifies planned enrollment and program growth, projected faculty and staff population, and estimates the amount of development needed to support that growth.
• The LRDP is an important reference document for the campus and community as it defines the “outer envelope” for campus growth in the period covered by the plan.
• The Regents approve each LRDP and its accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
• It does not commit the campus to specific projects; must provide flexibility for changing conditions.
What is the LRDP?
2004 LRDP Land Use PlanThe 2004 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is a general land use plan and capacityanalysis that guides the physical development of the campus. Previous LRDP’s wereprepared in 1963, 1966, 1981 and 1989. Land Use Plan identifies Predominant Use.

• Alignment with Campus Strategic Plan goals
• Enrollments and population nearing/exceeding projections
• More stringent sustainability mandates; new regulations; alignment with Climate Action Plan
• Increasing public scrutiny; demonstrate to community our commitment to effectively manage campus growth
• Impact of Regional Transportation Improvements, including Light Rail Transit
Why Update the LRDP?
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would be prepared to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The LRDP EIR would analyze full implementation of uses and physical growth proposed under the LRDP (to 2030-35), and would identify measures to mitigate the impacts associated with that growth.
LRDP EIR addresses impacts such as:• Transportation, Traffic and Parking• Biological Resources• Hydrology and Water Quality• Air Quality• Aesthetics• GHG Emissions• Public Services/Infrastructure• Cultural and Historical Resources

UCSD Climate Action Plan: 7 Areas of Emphasis
• Academics and Research
• Energy and Climate
• Operations
• Procurement
• Recycling / Waste Minimization
• Transportation
• Water
Sustainability
• With a daily population of close to 50,000, UC San Diego is the size and complexity of a small city.
• As a research and medical institution, we have two times the energy density of commercial buildings.
• 18.3 million sq. ft. of buildings, $200M/yr of building growth
• Self generate 90% of annual demand which makes us still one of the local utilities companies’ largest customers.
• 3rd largest water user in City
UC San Diego Operates

Sustainability
Central Utility Plant cogenerates 90% of campus power
• 30 MW capacity, 2 natural gas and 1 steam turbine.
• Reduces annual electric costs by $8M. 60,000 metric tons CO2 avoided
• Looking for ways to convert to renewable energy fuels such as biogas.

Sustainability
Strive for gold and achieve a minimum of LEED Silver on all new construction and renovation projects
Operations
UCSD has 21 LEED certified buildings, 20 more projects in progress.
UCSD will apply LEED standards to all “existing building” projects.

Daily Water Conservation activities strengthen our conservation efforts.
UCSD has reduced overall water consumption by 15%.
Exceeded UCOP per capita water reduction goal of 20% over baseline.
Reduced water use through repair/replacement of obsolete equipment.
Converting Central Utility Plant to a recycled water system which will save approximately 150 million gallons of potable water.
SustainabilityWater
UCSD is helping California solve the water dilemma
Water use is reduced by:
• Using reclaimed water for irrigation…UCSD one of first to connect to system.
• Natural vegetation
• Weather & soil moisture controlled watering
• Low flow fixtures
• 352,000 sq ft of turf to be converted to low/no-water use landscape saving an estimated 9 million gallons per year.
30% of campus irrigation uses Reclaimed Water
New irrigation nozzles use 20% less water
Natural Vegetation

Alternative transportation commuting saved nearly 48,000 metric tons of CO2
emissions annually.
Transportation
Green Fleet: More than 50% of fleet vehicles are hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicles
