Title

East Campus Student Apartments Phase 5

Description

The proposed Project would be located in the East Campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The Project encompasses two sites, Site A and Site B. Site A is approximately 1.75 acres located at the southwest corner of the Campus Drive and California Avenue intersection. Site B is approximately 1.5 acres, located at the southeast corner of the Campus Drive and East Peltason Drive intersection. The proposed Project would provide up to 1,100 student beds across the two sites. The Project would demolish the existing vacant o?ce building and surface parking lot on Site A to construct one approximately 137,000 gross square-foot (gsf) student apartment building. The Project would also demolish the existing surface parking lot, Lot 1C, on Site B to construct one approximately 155,000 gsf student apartment building and a secured surface parking lot to exclusively serve the existing Public Services Building, speci?cally the UCI Police Department. The proposed building height for both Site A and Site B is seven stories, stepping down to six stories along the Campus Drive frontage. The proposed Project would include common areas throughout the apartment buildings, including study areas, furnished courtyards, bike storage, and laundry facilities. Additional site work and development would include clearing of the existing uses; site grading; connection to campus utility and drainage systems; construction of building(s), pathways, ramps, and sidewalks; installation of site lighting and landscape improvements; and construction of outdoor gathering spaces with wireless connectivity. Project Site A and Site B are designated Academic & Support in the 2007 UCI Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The proposed Project would amend the LRDP to change the land use designation on both sites to Student Housing.
