Long Range Development Plan
2002 LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The UCLA Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) is the comprehensive land use plan that
guides the physical development of the campus to support its teaching, research, and
public service mission. The LRDP identifies institutional and developmental objectives
and delineates campus land use zones. It also estimates the new building space proposed
for each zone.
In 2008, UCLA amended the 2002 LRDP to add 550,000 gsf to the Northwest campus zone to
accommodate the 2008 Northwest Housing Infill Project (NHIP) and extend the LRDP horizon
year to 2013. The 2002 LRDP Amendment identified developed campus square footage, parking
spaces, and remaining allocation for future campus development. The 2008 amendment also
updated remaining development allocations by zone to reconcile changes to earlier planning
assumptions related to proposed projects that had not yet been constructed as previously
assumed. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the amendment to the
2002 LRDP required an Environmental Impact Report that was certified by The Regents in
March 2009.
As of 2016, the 2008 LRDP Amendment (Amendment #1 to 2002 LRDP) and the 2008 NHIP & LRDP Final EIR are still in effect as the campus’ land use plan and CEQA analysis. However, the 2008 documents, which used a baseline population year of 2007–2008, with estimated projections through 2013–2014, had become outdated. In 2016, the Geffen Academy at UCLA Draft and Final Subsequent EIR incorporated a new campus population baseline for 2014-2015, and included estimated campus population projections through 2020-2021.
