• Land Use/Housing:‐ Housing incentives near transit
• Transit Services:‐ Collaborate w/ AC Transit bus service‐ Collaborate w/ West Contra Costa bus service‐ Long-haul shuttles
• Incentives and Programs‐ Transportation allowance program ‐ Free or heavily discounted AC Transit Pass Program
(faculty and staff)‐ Increased subsidy for BART commuters‐ Vanpool incentives ‐ Subsidies for transportation network companies
(TNC) ‐ Electric bicycle program ‐ First mile bike/scooter share incentives
14 Transportation Demand Management Strategies & Enhancements
• Parking Management:‐ Remote/satellite parking ‐ Parking management strategies (i.e., cost and
eligibility) ‐ Revise parking policies (e.g., income-based) ‐ Continue to upgrade parking garage technology ‐ Manage and provide improved parking
infrastructure, including advanced parking management systems
• Local Infrastructure Collaboration:‐ Bike enhancements, improvements and gap
closures ‐ Street projects in Southside and Downtown‐ Mobility hubs
Administrative Draft – for review onlyAdministrative Draft – for review onlyInfrastructure
• Utilities and infrastructure improvements would be in direct support of campus operational needs. New/improved system solutions are informed by long-term resiliency, sustainability, and climate change planning efforts.
• Cogeneration plant:‐ Near term operational changes include --
o Prepare for PG&E public safety power shutoff events by increasing electrical capacity of the current cogeneration plant (install a larger capacity turbine).
o Install solar PV power installations at up to 6 campus-owned locations to increase electricity produced by the campus and lower the impacts of future PG&E PSPS events.
‐ Long term planning –o Campus is currently reviewing options to address the life-span and operational limitations posed by the existing
plant functions. These would also address campus greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies.• Stormwater and non-potable water:
‐ An update to the campus stormwater management program will identify "catalytic" stormwater/creek restoration projects.
‐ Potential projects – to be implemented on campus over time – would result in easing stress on existing on- and off-campus infrastructure and reduce peak flood flows of the creek to increase the resilience of the watershed.
‐ The updated plan would address potential impacts of climate change to water resources.• Fire Risk Reduction - Hill Campus Wildland Vegetative Fuel Management Plan: CALFIRE awarded the
university $3.6M to treat vegetation that could become fire fuel within the 800-acre Hill Campus. Campus is implementing emergency evacuation projects along Centennial Drive and Claremont Avenue in 2020-21 as Phase 1.

20 Summary of Draft Principles Administrative Draft – for review only
Administrative Draft – for review only21 Draft Goals and Principles
Vibrant and Inclusive Campus Experience for All
PrincipleGoalsAnalysis Findings
Provide accessible and inclusive indoor and outdoor campus life spaces and services to create a shared sense of community, promote comprehensive wellness, and enliven the public realm.
Improve the existing housing stock and add student and faculty housing units/beds to better meet housing needs.
Enhance the connectivity between UC Berkeley and surrounding areas through continued support of community partnerships and public programming in areas of shared interest, and the design of campus edges.
Space per campus constituent has decreased over time.
The space needs analysis identified significant deficits of campus life space types.
Identified a need for 11,725 student beds and 385 faculty and staff units based upon the Chancellor's Housing Initiative and future growth.
Student residences are dispersed throughout the Southside and lack a greater sense of community.
The campus and its community comprise many narratives, and the actual physical environment could better reflect those narratives.
Administrative Draft – for review only22 Draft Goals and Principles Administrative Draft – for review only
Innovation and Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Provide a range of contemporary academic and research space to accommodate campus growth, support the university's public mission and Strategic Plan, support a holistic approach to teaching, learning, and innovation.
Site academic and research facilities to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and moments of discovery.
Maintain the Hill Campus as a resource for research, education and recreation, focusing potential development on suitable sites and integrating resilience strategies to mitigate risks from wildfires.
The space needs analysis identified a need for 1.35M GSF of instructional and research space to support the future campus population.
Qualitative deficiencies, deferred maintenance, and accessibility needs also exist.
Interdisciplinary collaboration has occurred despite a lack of intentional facilities and a physically distributed campus organization.
PrincipleGoalsAnalysis Findings
Administrative Draft – for review only23 Draft Goals and Principles Administrative Draft – for review only
Intuitive and Connected Campus
Take advantage of Berkeley’s urban location and surrounding transit networks, and prioritize mobility system improvements to make the campus more accessible, efficient, and safe.
Promote multi-modal transportation to campus to decrease carbon emissions, congestion, and parking demand.
Minimize private vehicle access within the Campus Park and Clark Kerr Campus.
Prioritize improvements and create clearly defined routes for bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and micro-mobility networks to enhance campus connectivity.
Apply principles of universal design and enhance the wayfinding to make navigation more intuitive, accessible, and inclusive.
The campus can be difficult to navigate for visitors and community members.
The Hill Campus, Clark Kerr, and Smyth Fernwaldfunction as distinct campus areas.
Pedestrians, bicycles, cars, shuttles, and delivery/service vehicles share roadways within the Campus Park, which increases the potential for mobility conflicts.
150,000+ trips enter and leave the Campus Park on a typical weekday, (~88% of the trips by pedestrians). Sproul Plaza is the most frequently used gateway.
Many routes through campus exceed 5% grade. The presence of retaining walls, blank facades, and steep
slopes contribute to the perception of less welcoming edges across the campus.
The percentage of people driving alone to campus decreased over the past 30 years.
Parking occupancy is at or near capacity within the Campus Park.
More consistency is needed across sign types.
PrincipleGoalsAnalysis Findings

Cultivate a Diverse and Beautiful Campus Setting
Strengthen the cohesion between buildings and landscapes to create inviting and memorable places.
Promote a variety of architecture and landscape styles that reflect campus history and culture as they evolve.
Restore landscape features to enhance natural systems and reveal key view sheds.
Provide a range of outdoor spaces to create opportunities for respite, social interactions, and expression.
There is a strong legacy of planning on campus; successive plans have built on past framework. This tradition is visible in the rich heritage of campus architecture and landscapes.
Campus structure is defined by the balance of the picturesque and formal.
Preservation of open space was the most clearly communicated desire from the LRDP and Campus Master Plan online survey.
UC Berkeley has a range of architectural eras and styles represented on campus.
As the oldest campus in the UC system, Berkeley has a significant proportion of historic buildings within its building stock.
PrincipleGoalsAnalysis Findings

Sustainable and Resilient Campus
Adapt campus landscapes to improve environmental function and create educational opportunities.
Upgrade and modernize infrastructure to address deferred maintenance, respond to growth, and strive to exceed UC system and campus sustainability goals and policies and UC seismic policy.
Plan for a more resilient campus to protect human health and safety, maintain essential infrastructure services, cultivate thriving natural systems, and manage risks.
Infrastructure is aging, carbon-intensive, and does not have capacity to support growth.
Berkeley is known for innovation and this plan is an opportunity to consider how the campus design and planning can innovate in climate change science and adaptation.
The campus faces a diversity of threats from natural hazards and related infrastructure disruptions.
Although campus water demands have steadily decreased since 2005, future climate trends and additional development will put pressure on existing systems.
California live oak, Tasmanian blue gum, and California redwood dominate the tree canopy, limiting its resilience to drought and disease.
PrincipleGoalsAnalysis Findings

Efficient and Strategic Use of Resources
Apply the highest and best use of campus land to serve the university’s mission and support optimal campus organization.
Plan every new project—including choosing between renovation, strategic infill/additions, and new construction—to support the optimal investment of resources, meet space needs, address deferred maintenance, and reduce seismic risks.
Balance new investments with renewal of existing facilities to ensure that all campus spaces are functional and well maintained.
Design spaces to meet immediate needs and functionality, while incorporating adaptable and multi-purpose spaces to provide future flexibility.
Building needs are varied and significant, including seismic considerations, building condition, deferred maintenance backlog, and accessibility issues.
Over 77 campus buildings, totaling over 5,800,000 GSF will require seismic strengthening prior to 2030, as part of the campus’s ongoing seismic assessment initiative and implementation of UCOP’s Seismic Safety Policy.
