UC Davis Long-Range Planning Meeting This Thursday

The next meeting of the UC Davis Long-Range Development Plan Advisory Committee will be held 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 29, in MU II of the Memorial Union. The meeting will include an update from campus planners on growth needs of the University of California, Davis. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for committee members and the public to share positive development and conservation examples from their own communities to help inform campus plans. Committee members have been asked to provide a community perspective on the development of the LRDP and associated planning and environmental review documents. Chaired by Vice Chancellor for Resource Management and Planning John Meyer, the committee includes members of the Yolo, Solano and Sacramento County Boards of Supervisors; elected representatives of Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters and Dixon; a member of the Davis Joint Unified School District board; representatives of the Solano Economic Development Corp., the Sacramento Area Commerce and Trade Organization, and the Valley Vision/ Regional Action Partnership; and the chairs or presidents of the Academic Senate, Academic Federation, Staff Assembly, Associated Students of UC Davis, Graduate Student Association, Cal Aggie Alumni Association and UC Davis Foundation. The group is expected to meet approximately quarterly until mid-2002; its final spring quarter meeting is set for 4-6 p.m. Thursday, May 31, in MU II. The revised LRDP and its draft Environmental Impact Report are anticipated to be ready for UC Board of Regents review by spring 2003. The public is welcome to attend all advisory committee meetings.
