UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning November 7, 2006 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Health and Wellness Center Tiered Initial Study and Proposed Negative Declaration UC Davis proposes to construct and operate a Health and Wellness Center to provide a new medical facility for UC Davis students. The new building would provide routine medical treatment, counseling, pharmacy, and physical therapy services for UC Davis students living on and off campus. The proposed 71,000 gross square foot, three-story building would replace the existing student health center. The new building would be located on the central campus at UC Davis west of Activities and Recreation Center on the west side of La Rue Road and south of Parking Lot 35. Parking Lot 35 would expand by approximately 41 spaces. Vehicle access to the building would be through Parking Lot 35 which is accessed from Orchard Road. The approximately two-acre site is currently used for recreational basketball and as a plant nursery by the UC Davis Arboretum. These uses would be relocated to other portions of the central campus as part of the proposed project. The existing student health center buildings located south of Russell Boulevard and west of California Avenue would be reused for academic or administrative purposes. 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 December 7, 2006. 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/.
