Paul Desruisseaux

A public hearing on UC Santa Barbara's draft Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) will be held Wednesday, June 4, at 7 p.m. at UCSB's Isla Vista Theater in Isla Vista. (Directions to the facility are available on the LRDP Web site, www.UCSBVision2025.com)

The LRDP will help UC Santa Barbara plan its future to the year 2025. The release of the draft plan followed several years of work as well as presentations to 40 area neighborhood, civic and community organizations about UCSB's future plans.

Extensive information about the LRDP, its accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Vision2025 project is available at www.UCSBVision2025.com. Site visitors will find downloadable copies of the LRDP and EIR, summary information about the plan, and details about the approval process. In addition, printed copies of the documents have been placed in local libraries.

Written comments on the plan can be submitted until 5 p.m. on June 23, 2008. Comments can be sent via email to info@UCSBVision2025.com, or by U.S. mail to University of California, Office of Planning & Design, c/o Vision 2025, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-1030.
