C. UCSD 2004 DRAFT LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (LRDP). Milt Phegley 1. The LRDP and Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be ready for a 45 day public review shortly. The last plan was done in 1989 for completion in 2005-6. The 2004 plan will carry physical development through 2020-21, set standards for future development and provide guidance. The draft EIR shows the consequences of the LRDP to various areas including traffic, housing and the environment. There are several hundred mitigations suggested – some unmet from the 1989 plan. The worst case consequences are laid out in the EIR. Specific projects will have their own EIRs. The draft LRDP and EIR are available on line and on a CD; there will be a link on the LJSA website. Written comments about the plan and EIR will be taken during the 45 day public comment period and may be done on line. There will also be a public hearing – perhaps on June 14. The UC system is not subject to local laws but is to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Twenty five percent of the campus is designated as open space. The LRDP will follow community and other local plans. Based on demographics, the campus is expected to grow from 19,500 undergraduates today to 22,000 in 2020; graduate students from 4,600 to 8,000 and faculty/staff from 10,000 to 19,800. Build out could take longer than 2020. One more college and one or two more professional/graduate schools are planned. There will be 10 to 20 million square feet of buildings. One goal is to house 50% of all students on campus; now only 35% are accommodated. Suggestions: meet with neighbors where projected buildings such as the SIO parking structure will have an impact. Milt will come to the June LJSA meeting to answer questions once people have had a chance to review the plans.

2. Campus Religious Center. The establishment of a Center for Ethical and Spiritual Inquiry and Development (Interfaith Center) at UCSD is planned but funds must be raised for it. UCSD is required to provide access for religious activities and does so. What is offered, though, may not be what individual groups would like. Kim Signouret-Paar of the Student Affairs Development Office is the information contact.

D. COMMITTEES. 1. By Laws. Reminder to Board members to review and

send comments to Chair Fran Doolittle by May 15.

2. Parks/Beaches. a. Clean Up. Mark has raised money from private donors to pay for additional trash pickup and beach cleaning at LJ Shores on Saturday mornings from mid- June to the end of October. The City is receptive. Scripps Beach will be included. An account is set up through the LJ Town Council for donations. Concerns: that this will be in addition to regular services and not a substitute. Suggestions: the trash cans be emptied on weekend evenings since this trash is the source of many problems. Point raised: why not do this privately and perhaps more cost effectively? 800,000 people use the Shores each year.

b. Vendors. Surf Diva was given a SD Park/Recreation permit to operate

On weekends – the only group allowed to do so. LJSA voted against this. Permits are needed for surf camps but not for other groups like Divers. No money may be collected or signs put up by groups. New City signs specifying the limits of commercial activities will be posted. The municipal code for vendor activities will be enforced, especially early in the season, by a park ranger and the RSVP police adjuncts. Lifeguards will also check for activity permits but there is no project manager or budget. Sun King has the only contract for beach rentals and has a large storage container in the park.

E. PUBLIC COMMENT. 1. Mary Coakley: The City Council will hear the

Park/Recreation budget at 10 am, May 18. Recreation hours are being cut. Only three people represent LJ on the Park/Recreation Council; other areas of the city have many more.

2. The city-wide Parking Task Force is devolving parking decisions to local business districts.

3. Sabrina Coble suggested that the cross walk at Calle Frescota/Camiino del Oro be striped for pedestrians until the 3 way stop is put in.

4. Site 653: Pene Bourke. The Court of Appeals hearing was on May 12; the decision will be rendered within 6 months.

F. NEW BUSINESS. June agenda: Return the curb parking along Paseo del Grande next to the Kellogg Park parking lot to the 20 car spaces that were replaced by 8 bus/RV spaces. Bus parking for this location is in the master plan.

Meeting adjourned 9:20 pm Ann Heinemann, recording secretary
