LAFCO public hearing of the application for the development of North Campus was cancelled due to the plan’s inadequate Environmental Impact Report. The meeting was scheduled for Monday, Dec. 5 at 9:30 A.M.

The Santa Cruz Local Agency Formation Commission has rescheduled a public hearing to help determine whether or not UCSC can expand their water and sewage services into Upper Campus. If the extension is approved, the campus will move forward with their planned construction of Upper Campus.

At a Wednesday hearing of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the board of commissioners chose to delay any voting on UCSC’s proposed Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). Students, residents, professors and administrators all spoke about the proposed plan, and its environmental impact on the Upper Campus region.

A local commission must approve to expand water and sewer services to north campus before construction for expanding the university can begin. If the commission denies approval, it could mean an end to improved campus-city cooperation.
