UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning December 13, 2004 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Segundo Services Center Draft Tiered Initial Study and Proposed Negative Declaration UC Davis proposes to redevelop approximately two acres within the Segundo Housing District for the Segundo Services Center Redevelopment Project (the project). The proposed redevelopment project includes the demolition of the existing dining commons building, removal of a temporary food service building, construction of a new community services building, and landscape enhancements to create a formal quad area on the east side of the new building. The new community services building would be called the Segundo Services Center and would contain approximately 25,000 assignable square feet (asf) (approximately 32,000 gross square feet (gsf)). The project site is within the center of the Segundo Housing District, which is a dormitory-style housing area of approximately 10 acres located south of Russell Boulevard and east of La Rue Road on the UC Davis core campus. Development within the Segundo Housing District includes large-scale dormitory buildings for approximately 1,600 students, the existing dining commons building, a new dining commons replacement building that is currently under construction, and combined pedestrian/ bicycle paths to connect the buildings and activities within the housing district. Upon completion of the new dining commons building, the existing dining commons building will no longer be needed to serve the needs of the Segundo residents. The existing single-story building would need extensive upgrades and retrofitting of major service systems in order to be reused for a different use and these modifications would not be cost effective on a per square foot basis. The proposed Segundo Services Center will provide the services needed within the Segundo Housing District in a modern two-story building that will more efficiently utilize the available land area. The use of a more efficient two-story replacement building will allow installation of a centralized formal quad area to serve as a new outdoor living space for the area residents. The project site includes a portion of existing Parking Lot 24, and will result in the loss of approximately 50 parking spaces from Parking Lot 24. I am writing to inform you that a Draft Tiered Initial Study has been prepared analyzing the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. You are invited to comment on the Draft Tiered Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration through January 11, 2005. Copies of the Draft Tiered Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration are available during normal operating hours at the UC Davis Office of Resource Management and Planning in 376 Mrak Hall on campus; at Reserves in the UC Davis Shields Library; at the Yolo County Public Library, 315 E. 14th Street, Davis; at the Vacaville Public Library, 1020 Ulatis Drive, Vacaville; and online at http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/. The public notice for this project is also available online at http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/. The notice includes a brief project description, a statement of project objectives, and a summary of potential impacts. Comments on this Draft Tiered Initial Study must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 11, 2005. They may be e-mailed to environreview@ucdavis.edu or mailed to: John A.
