2.0 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
2.1 Summary
The 2010 Long Range Development Plan (2010 LRDP) for the University of California (UC) Davis Health
System Sacramento Campus is a plan to guide development and land uses to enable expansion of the UC
Davis Health System facilities though 2025. The 2010 LRDP will accommodate increased building space
at the Sacramento Campus from 3.39 million gross square feet (gsf)1 to 6.57 million gsf and the on-site
daily population will grow from 12,499 persons to 19,719 persons by 2025. UC Davis Health System will
prepare an environmental impact report (EIR), as required by Public Resources Code Section 21080.09, to
evaluate the environmental effects of implementing the proposed 2010 LRDP. The 2010 LRDP EIR will be
a Program EIR that will also be used at a program level for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
compliance purposes for projects implementing the 2010 LRDP.
2.2 Project Description
Background
The main hospital at the UC Davis Sacramento Campus was historically the Sacramento County Hospital
founded in 1852 to serve Sacramento County’s poor residents. In 1965, the State of California established
the UC Davis School of Medicine and the first class was enrolled in 1968. With academic facilities located
on the Davis campus, the School of Medicine met a part of its teaching and other program needs through
an affiliation agreement with the Sacramento County Hospital. In 1978, the University of California
assumed ownership of the hospital and it was renamed the UC Davis Medical Center. In 1995, the UC
Davis Medical Center and the UC Davis School of Medicine were merged to form the UC Davis Health
System. Today, the UC Davis Health System includes the UC Davis School of Medicine, the UC Davis
Medical Center (hospital) and its clinics, the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, and the UC Davis
Medical Group. The Sacramento Campus is home to the UC Davis Medical Center, UC Davis School of
Medicine, and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, while the UC Davis Medical Group provides
primary care services at other locations throughout the region. The 2010 LRDP is a proposed envelope for
growth at the Sacramento Campus only.
The Sacramento Campus encompasses 142 acres, 30 buildings, and approximately 3,400,000 gsf of
facilities (excluding parking structures). From 1978 to 2007, the educational model was that medical
students spent 2 years on the UC Davis Main Campus (Davis Campus). With completion of the UC Davis
1 Includes the square footage associated with the Surgery and Emergency Services Pavilion now underconstruction. Excludes space occupied by the UC Davis Health System on the UC Davis Main Campus (370,000gsf) and in leased facilities (0.5 million gsf).
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 3 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Health System Education Building in 2007, 75 percent of teaching activities of the School of Medicine that
were previously performed on the Davis Campus were relocated to Sacramento. Research is the primary
UC Davis Health System activity continuing on the Davis Campus in a variety of facilities and
disciplines.
A LRDP was prepared for the Sacramento Campus in 1989. The 1989 LRDP anticipated demands for
growth of facilities and enrollment on the Sacramento Campus and identified land use zones and
established the basis for a circulation framework for service vehicles, automobiles, and pedestrians that
has informed the UC Davis Health System in identifying new facility site locations and configurations.
Since publication of the 1989 LRDP, the Sacramento Campus has acquired 45 acres of land adjacent or
proximate to the campus. In addition, many capital improvement projects have been implemented at the
Sacramento Campus under the 1989 LRDP, including major expansions to the hospital, additions of other
new clinical facilities such as Ellison Ambulatory Care Center, construction of Shriners Hospital at the
corner of X Street and Stockton Boulevard, and construction of three research buildings.
In addition to the 1989 LRDP, several other planning studies were prepared by the UC Davis Health
System to provide guidance for the implementation of facilities and site improvements. The most recent
plan, the UC Davis Health System Strategic Plan, was completed in 2007. The Plan identifies a
Framework for Success focusing on four areas of excellence: education, research, clinical care, and
community engagement. The four focus areas include cancer, neuroscience, infectious disease, and
vascular disease. The proposed 2010 LRDP is intended to provide a framework for future physical
development on the campus site that would facilitate implementation of this strategic plan.
Project Location
The approximately 142-acre UC Davis Sacramento Campus is located within the City of Sacramento,
approximately 2.5 miles southeast of downtown Sacramento, 17 miles east of the UC Davis Main Campus
in Davis, and 90 miles northeast of San Francisco (see Figure 1, Sacramento Campus Location Map). The
Sacramento Campus is bound by V Street on the north, Stockton Boulevard to the west, Broadway to the
south, and a residential neighborhood to the east.
The University of California owns some of the properties that surround the campus site in the City of
Sacramento, including buildings along Stockton Boulevard and on Broadway. The University also leases
off-site facilities in Sacramento for clinics and offices totaling over 500,000 square feet. Over time, over
half of these programs are likely to be relocated to the Sacramento Campus in order to achieve efficiencies
in operations and to reduce costs. The space needed to accommodate the programs that would relocate to
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 4 Initial StudyNovember 2009
the Sacramento Campus is included within the proposed building space growth included in the
2010 LRDP.
Surrounding uses include regional commercial uses, low-density suburban neighborhoods and a
high-density traditional neighborhood (City of Sacramento 2008). Stockton Boulevard, along the western
boundary of the campus, is lined mostly with one- to three-story office buildings and a small amount of
retail. A Shriners Hospital is located on Stockton Boulevard just south of X Street across from the
UC Davis Health System Main Hospital.
The Elmhurst neighborhood to the north and east of the campus is a residential neighborhood consisting
primarily of single-family homes. To the west (west of commercial business buildings along Stockton
Boulevard) is the North Oak Park neighborhood, also residential, with a mix of single-family and
multi-family residences. These neighborhoods can be characterized as pre-World War II traditional
neighborhoods. Multi-family residential uses predominate in the Fairgrounds neighborhood to the
southwest of the campus.
Between the southern edge of the campus and Broadway are located several public institutions and
offices, including Marian Anderson Elementary School, and County and State office buildings. These
public office uses continue south of Broadway as well. The Broadway Office Building is owned by the
UC Davis Health System, houses administrative offices, and is part of the LRDP planning area.
2010 LRDP
The proposed 2010 LRDP is a guide for physical development and redevelopment on the existing
UC Davis Sacramento Campus that would provide a flexible, attractive campus environment capable of
accommodating current and future operations and facilities associated with the world-class medical
institution. The proposed 2010 LRDP outlines all aspects of campus development and land uses to
accommodate projected growth in health system programs and initiatives as outlined in the 2007
UC Davis Health System Strategic Plan, described above. If approved, the UC Davis Health System
anticipates implementing the 2010 LRDP gradually over the next 15 years and beyond, with a projected
horizon year of 2025. The 2010 LRDP provides an estimate of future growth in population and square
footage on the Sacramento Campus. The ability of the UC Davis Health System to implement the LRDP
by 2025 would depend on the availability of funding.

Population Projections
In response to the projected growth in the Health System programs, UC Davis Health System expects the
campus population to increase, as shown in Table 1, Existing and Projected Daily Population. At full
implementation of the 2010 LRDP, the average daily population is projected to increase from
approximately 12,499 persons in 2008/9 to 19,719 persons. This population includes UC Davis Health
System staff; faculty and other academic personnel; students; and interns, residents, and fellows. The
estimated 2025 patient and visitor population is also presented in Table 1.

Space Projections
Table 2, 2025 LRDP Square Footage Projections, summarizes the existing and projected building space
on the Sacramento Campus. Total building space on the campus would increase from approximately 3.39
million gsf at the present time to 6.57 million gsf upon full implementation of the 2010 LRDP. The
number of licensed beds would increase from 613 existing beds to 800 beds.

Land Use
Land Use Designations
The proposed 2010 LRDP identifies land use designations to inform the pattern of development at the
campus. Allowable uses are identified for each land use designation. Figure 2, Existing Land Uses (2009),
presents current land uses on the campus, and Figure 3, Preliminary 2010 LRDP Land Use Designations,
shows proposed land uses under the 2010 LRDP. The proposed 2010 LRDP identifies the following land
use categories to support anticipated campus growth:
Education and Research
Hospital
Ambulatory Care
Support
Major Open Space
Landscape Buffer
Parking
Education and Research
The Education and Research land use designation includes the existing and planned schools (Medicine,
Nursing, and Public Health). Facilities that would be constructed in areas designated Education and
Research include classrooms, lecture halls, research laboratories, associated support space, and offices.
The land use designation would also allow for the construction of facilities to support daily student life
such as food services and dining, bookstore, lounges and recreation facilities, such as a
Recreation/Wellness Center. The Education and Research land use would include sufficient site area to
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 9 Initial StudyNovember 2009
meet projected program needs, especially for the anticipated growth in research endeavors. Surface
parking lots for less than 100 cars would also be allowed under this land use designation. Building
heights would range from two to five stories (75 feet).
Hospital
The Hospital land use designation would include the existing hospital facilities and would allow for the
long term expansion and replacement of those facilities. The Hospital land use designation would include
adequate site area for the addition of new facilities while retaining critical operations of existing facilities.
Allowed facilities under this designation would include facilities for patient care, nursing, clinical
services, surgery and affiliated uses. In addition, ancillary support uses, such as administrative, police
and security, open spaces, utility structures, dining and food service, and patient and visitor lounges
would also be allowed.
The Hospital land use would include a limited amount of surface parking and would allow for parking
structures to be sited in close proximity to the hospital to allow for convenient access for patients and
visitors. Building heights would range from two to 14 stories (230 feet). Taller buildings would be focused
in the middle and southern portion of the hospital area.
Ambulatory Care
This Ambulatory Care land use designation would allow for phased expansion of the Cancer Center, new
ambulatory care facilities, and other clinical and research uses which may be returned from off-campus
leased locations in areas adjacent to the Sacramento Campus. The off-site leased facilities that would be
relocated to the campus include offices and clinical uses, and possibly research space. Complementary
uses such as temporary family stay facilities (Ronald McDonald and Kiwanis Houses), skilled nursing
facilities, and assisted living facilities would be allowed. In the event that UC Davis Health System finds
the development of student, faculty and staff housing to be feasible and desirable, such housing could be
located in the ambulatory care area. Over time, existing surface parking will be consolidated into nearby
structures, although several large parking lots are likely to remain in this area. Surface parking may
continue in this area or may be consolidated into nearby parking structures. Buildings would range in
height from two to five stories (75 feet).

UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 12 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Support
Additional support facilities needed to serve the campus under the 2010 LRDP would be consolidated in
the existing Support area of the campus which includes the Central Plant, the Facilities Support Services
Building, Fleet Services, the Camellia Hotel, and administrative services and administrative uses (the
Broadway Office Building). This land use would allow utility structures, administrative offices, hotel, and
fleet maintenance, repair and storage uses. Surface parking may continue in this area or may be
consolidated into nearby parking structures. Building heights would range from one to four stories (60
feet).
Major Open Space
The proposed 2010 LRDP includes opportunities to improve the campus open space and character, as
shown in Figure 4, Open Space Diagram. The Open Space land use encompasses only major malls and
quads envisioned for the Sacramento Campus; smaller courtyards, plazas, and quads would be
developed throughout the campus in conjunction with new building development. Major open spaces are
designated as a separate land use zone to indicate the importance of their location and approximate
configuration. Primary open spaces would include the main quad, located in the center of the education
and research area as well as two major malls that would serve to link the hospital, education, research,
and ambulatory uses with one another. The primary open spaces would be designed to include major
pedestrian walkways, gathering spaces, and locations for special events such as graduation ceremonies.
Landscape Buffer
Residential neighborhoods are present along the northern and eastern sides of the campus. The UC Davis
Health System would establish a 40-foot landscaped setback along the south side of V Street between the
City water tank and 49th Street and along the east side of the campus as shown in Figure 3. No buildings
or permanent parking would be constructed or allowed within the setback area. Adjacent to the buffer,
building heights would not exceed 4-5 floors, except in the hospital district.
Parking
While transportation management programs from the 1989 LRDP would be carried forward and refined
to continue to minimize campus parking demand, the proposed 2010 LRDP will accommodate a range of
parking locations and configurations that support the overall improvement of the campus environment.
As the campus grows, much of the surface parking would be consolidated into parking structures
strategically located either on the Patient Care Boulevard comprising X Street, 48th, and 50th Streets or on
Stockton Boulevard to ensure easy access by patients, visitors, and campus staff. Lots of up to

approximately 100 cars would likely remain in several of the other land use designations. Parking
provisions consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and service and short-term
parking would also be provided throughout the campus adjoining individual buildings as appropriate.
Parking structures may range in height from two to seven floors (approximately 60 feet) in height.
Patient and visitor parking would be located in close proximity of the hospital and other care facilities of
the campus. Parking would be readily identifiable and accessible via the Patient Care Boulevard; major
campus destinations would face this boulevard, with patient drop-offs convenient to primary building
entries. Within the area identified for education and research, parking would migrate toward the
periphery of the area to support a more pedestrian-friendly, auto-free district with similarities to a
traditional higher education campus. The parking zones indicated on the proposed 2010 LRDP are
approximate and may be modified somewhat as more specific parking projections emerge.
Major Campus Districts
The proposed 2010 LRDP organizes the Sacramento Campus into three major districts, which help create
efficiencies in operations and movement of patients, visitors, students, faculty, and staff. The three
districts are described below.
Education and Research District
Education and research facilities are central to the mission of the Health Sciences Campus and would be
located largely in the center of the campus adjacent to existing related buildings (education, the three
research buildings, and the Institute for Regenerative Cures). The education and research district would
include the schools (medicine, nursing, and any future schools such as public health) as well as facilities
to support daily student life such as food services and dining, bookstore, lounges, and recreation facilities
such as a Recreation/Wellness Center.
Hospital District
The hospital district would focus around the existing hospital facilities and planned expansions and
replacements to those facilities. As a consequence, the hospital district would include adequate site area
for the addition of new facilities while retaining critical operations of existing facilities. In addition, the
configuration of the hospital district and the location of specific facilities would be informed by the need
to ensure easy, safe, and convenient patient and visitor access. The hospital district includes adequate
land area for area for long-term expansion of the hospital facility. It is also sized and configured to allow
sufficient visitor parking in close proximity and also to allow for affiliated uses such as administrative
offices or hotel.

UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 15 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Ambulatory Care/Clinics District
This district adjoins the hospital district and wraps around the perimeter of the campus. This district
would gain new facilities as off-site leased clinics and offices are returned to the Sacramento Campus,
and as the demand for ambulatory care facilities increases and allied institutes expand. Design features in
the district would provide clear wayfinding and easy access for patients and visitors. The district would
allow for phased expansion of the Cancer Center, and major added space for ambulatory care and other
clinics.
Access and Circulation
Access to the campus site is illustrated in the proposed 2010 LRDP (Figure 5, Circulation Diagram). It is
anticipated that the patients would be provided with easy access to parking that is conveniently located
relative to their destinations. In order to minimize neighborhood intrusion, access to the campus for
general traffic from V Street will be limited to one location at 49th Street. Other entry points from V Street
will be closed to general traffic with only service and emergency vehicles allowed.
Utilities and Infrastructure
The following describes improvements that would be required to accommodate programs and facilities
proposed at the campus under the 2010 LRDP.
Potable and Irrigation Water
The City of Sacramento provides potable water to the campus. This water is used for domestic, fire
protection, central plant and irrigation uses, though some irrigation demand is met by well water on the
campus. Under existing conditions, the campus demands approximately 129.4 million gallons of water
each year, with an estimated maximum flow rate of 4,017 gallons per minute.
Under future 2010 LRDP conditions in the anticipated horizon year of 2025, the approximate estimated
maximum flow rate would be 3,967 gallons per minute and the annual water demand would be
164.4 million gallons. It is anticipated that existing buildings would be required to be retrofitted with
low-flow or water conservation plumbing fixtures that would conserve water to achieve a lower flow rate
under future conditions.
Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water Service
The City of Sacramento provides sanitary sewer services to the campus. The campus utilizes a combined
sewer system for portions of the site, which accommodates both storm water runoff and domestic sewer
discharge. Under existing conditions, the approximate estimated maximum sanitary sewer flow rate,
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 16 Initial StudyNovember 2009
including some storm water flows from the combined sewer system, is 360 gallons per minute; the
campus generates 65 million gallons of sanitary sewer flows each year.
The campus has a storm water detention system designed for 10-year floods. The existing campus land
area consists of approximately 75 percent impervious and 25 percent pervious surfaces. Under existing
conditions, the peak flow rate for a 10-year storm is 178 cubic feet per second (cfs), while the 100-year
peak flow is 301 cfs. With implementation of the 2010 LRDP, it is anticipated that the campus would be
comprised of 80 percent impervious and 20 percent pervious. The 10-year peak flow would be 186 cubic
feet per second (cfs), while the 100-year peak flow would be 315 cfs. These rates represent increases in
maximum flow rates of 4 percent for the 10-year storm and 5 percent for the 100-year storm.
It is anticipated that, excluding enlargement of specific pipes and structures for new buildings, the
existing infrastructure for sanitary and storm water systems would be generally capable of
accommodating the future needs of the campus. Storm water discharges and, when flowing to combined
sewers, sanitary sewer discharges, are required to cause no net increase in flow rates due to future
building projects on the campus.
Chilled Water
The Central Plant on the Sacramento Campus includes a chilled water system composed of multiple
absorption and centrifugal chillers, with an operating capacity of 10,500 tons of water. The existing
Central Plant has space allocated for two additional centrifugal chillers that, if installed, would provide a
chilled water capacity of 11,100 tons. The campus currently demands approximately 9,290 tons of
capacity in the chilled water system. The chilled water demand for 2025 is estimated to be 20,853 tons, or
11,803 tons more capacity than existing capacity. In order to meet 2025 projections for chilled water, it is
also anticipated that a new central plant would be constructed with six 2050-ton centrifugal chillers and
all associated primary and secondary pumps, and cooling towers.
Steam and Medium Temperature Heating Water
The potential Central Plant total steam production capability from the combined cycle turbine power
plant and installed boiler capacity is 160,800 pounds per hour (lbs/hr) and the current demand is 79,800
lbs/hr. Due to existing air permit requirements, only two of the existing four boilers are allowed to
operate when the gas turbine is operating at full load. This reduces the allowable steam production
capacity to 122,400 lbs/hr. It is anticipated that in 2025, the demand for steam production would be
174,000 lbs/hr; therefore, an additional 51,600 lbs/hr would be required to meet project needs. Since the
Central Plant is currently built out for steam production, it is estimated that three additional boilers,
associated heat exchangers and a central plant annex for accommodating the equipment would be
constructed within the area designated for support uses.

UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 18 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Normal Power
The existing combined cycle power plant has a continuous operating (and permitted) capacity of
26 megawatts (MW), or 30.6 mega volt amperes (MVA); 23 MW from the gas turbine and 3 MW from the
steam turbine. The current demand for the campus is 22.1 MVA. The forecasted 2025 normal (non-peak)
power demand would be 42 MW or 16 MW more than the existing capacity.
It is anticipated that the power plant would be sized 20 percent larger than the actual demand
requirement. Applying the same gas turbine/steam turbine ratio as existing, an 18 MW gas turbine, 64,750
lbs/hr Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), and a 2 MW steam turbine would be required to meet
this additional demand.
Emergency Power
The total existing emergency generator capacity at the campus is 13 MW or 16.25 MVA, of which the
campus demands approximately 10.5 MVA. Emergency power generation demand for 2025 is projected
to be 16.5 MW or 20.6 MVA. Therefore, an additional 4.4 MVA of capacity would be required to meet
future emergency power needs of the campus. The estimated gap would require two additional 3 MW
generators that may be located adjacent to the existing Central Plant or in a new Central Plant within the
area designated for support uses.
Natural Gas
The primary user of natural gas on the campus is the combined cycle turbine power plant at the Central
Plant. While there are numerous small volume users around the campus, these uses are insignificant (e.g.,
Bunsen burners in the labs and isolated, small volume domestic hot water heaters) compared to the
Central Plant. In discussions with PG&E, it was found that they have the ability and a plan for provide
adequate natural gas up to and including the quantity needed for a second gas turbine equal in size to the
existing unit.
Solid Waste
Due to state and federal regulations, University of California policies, and current campus practices, a net
reduction – approaching zero discharge – of solid non-hazardous waste by 2025 is anticipated.
Sustainability
The proposed 2010 LRDP also describes sustainability practices that would be employed at the campus to
achieve UC’s goals, which include reduction of waste, use of sustainable building materials for new
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 19 Initial StudyNovember 2009
construction projects, energy efficiency principles, minimization of water use, and incorporation of
programs for alternate transportation to and from the campus.
The UC Davis Health System would continue to incorporate alternate means of transportation to and
from the campus with a particular focus on the commute habits of faculty, staff and students. The UC
Davis Health System will support improved transportation options such as working with the Sacramento
Regional Transit District to improve bus and light rail service to and near the campus, and identify
potential improvements to campus-operated shuttle systems. Under the 2010 LRDP the UC Davis Health
System would implement appropriate alternate mode use incentives such as discounted transit passes,
carpool matching services, preferential parking for carpools, vanpools and low emissions vehicles,
flexible car share programs for the campus. The UC Davis Health System would also implement parking
management policies, such as pricing, to encourage use of alternate modes. Finally the UC Davis Health
System would encourage students in particular to live in close proximity of the campus to facilitate daily
commuting.
2.3 Project Objectives and Need
Following is a brief summary of the goals and underlying assumptions regarding the growth of the
health services programs at the Sacramento Campus between 2010 and 2025. The goals of the 2010 LRDP
related to physical development are to:
Provide the facilities and infrastructure required to facilitate continued growth of the researchenterprise;
Facilitate growth in medical student enrollment and the implementation of major educationalinitiatives, such as the School of Nursing and the School of Public Health; and
Provide additional inpatient and outpatient capacity to meet community health care needs and tosupport the organization’s teaching, research and community engagement missions
The planning principles regarding physical development of the 2010 LRDP are listed below:
Ensure Appropriate Facility Adjacencies
Improve Campus Open Space and Landscape Character
Provide Convenient Access to and within the Campus
Improve Pedestrian Connections throughout the Campus
Provide Attractive Campus Entries and Edges
Continue to Plan and Operate a Sustainable Campus
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 20 Initial StudyNovember 2009
2.4 Environmental Setting
As described above, the Sacramento Campus encompasses 142 acres, with approximately 3.6 million gsf
of developed building space and facilities. The existing campus is organized into four general land use
zones, which include the hospital, ambulatory care, education and research, and support services. The
population on the campus site consists of faculty, staff, students, hospital patients, and visitors.
Surrounding uses include regional commercial uses, low-density suburban neighborhoods and a
high-density traditional neighborhood (City of Sacramento 2008). Stockton Boulevard, along the western
boundary of the campus, is lined mostly with one- to three-story office buildings and a small amount of
retail. A Shriners Hospital is located west of the campus on Stockton Boulevard just south of X Street
across from the UC Davis Health System Main Hospital. ABMCO building and Abrego Partners building
are located to west of the campus, on Stockton Boulevard south of 2nd Avenue. The Marian Anderson
School, Sacramento County Department of Social Services, State Department of Justice and Law
Enforcement and State Employment Development Offices are located along 49th and 50th Streets, and
north of Broadway. The Department of Motor Vehicles and Sacramento County Coroner and Crime Lab
Building are located south of Broadway and west of the campus Broadway Office Building. These
facilities are not affiliated with the UC Davis Health System.
The Elmhurst neighborhood to the north and east of the campus is a residential neighborhood consisting
primarily of single-family homes. To the west (west of the commercial buildings along Stockton
Boulevard) is the North Oak Park neighborhood, also residential, with a mix of single-family and
multi-family residences. These neighborhoods can be characterized as pre-World War II traditional
neighborhoods. Multi-family residential uses predominate in the Fairgrounds neighborhood to the
southwest of the campus.
The campus site is generally flat and the existing hospital can be prominently seen from Interstate 80 and
Highway 99. The campus is approximately 2 miles south of the American River, and 3 miles east of the
Sacramento River. The site storm water discharges into the City of Sacramento storm drainage collection
and conveyance system. The eastern half of the campus (east of 45th Street) discharges into the City’s
combined storm drain and sewer system, which treats storm water and municipal wastewater at the
Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The western half drains into the separate storm drain
system which eventually discharges into the river. Given that most of the campus is developed with
either buildings, parking lots, roads, or landscaped areas, there is little suitable habitat for sensitive plant
and wildlife species and no wetlands are present on the campus.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 21 Initial StudyNovember 2009
The campus is located within the boundaries of the Sacramento Valley Air Basin, which is under the
jurisdiction of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District for air quality planning.
The climate of the air basin is characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers.
Primary access to the campus is via Stockton Boulevard, a major arterial that follows the western
boundary of the campus. The campus can also be accessed by Broadway, 14th Avenue, and 65th Street.
Minor arterials that provide access to the campus parking lots include V Street, X Street, and Y Street. The
U.S. Highway 50, State Route 99, and Interstate 80 provide regional access to the campus. The current
parking supply consists of approximately 6,400 spaces on the campus. On average, approximately 85
percent of the parking spaces are utilized each day.
2.5 Anticipated Project Approvals
UC Davis Health System will prepare an EIR that fully evaluates the environmental effects associated
with the implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP. Necessary project approvals are anticipated to
include, but are not limited to, consideration of the following by The Regents (anticipated in fall 2010):
Certification of the 2010 LRDP EIR, and
Approval of the 2010 LRDP.
The following agencies may serve as the responsible and commenting agencies for projects that may be
approved under the 2010 LRDP:
City of Sacramento
Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality District
Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board
California Department of Transportation
2.6 Public and Agency Review
The Notice of Preparation (NOP) and this Initial Study will be circulated for public and agency review
from November 18 through December 18, 2009. Copies of the Draft LRDP and Initial Study are available

Two public scoping meetings for the 2010 LRDP EIR will be held on December 8 at 11:00 AM and at
5:30 PM in the Facilities Support Services Building, Room 2030 on the UC Davis Sacramento Campus. The
public and agency review period for the 2010 LRDP Draft EIR is anticipated to commence sometime
between January 2009 and March 2010.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 23 Initial StudyNovember 2009
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
Section 21080.09(b) of the Public Resources Code requires that approval of a campus LRDP be supported
by an EIR. UC Davis Health System will prepare an EIR for the proposed 2010 UC Davis Sacramento
Campus LRDP in compliance with this requirement. As identified in Section 15063(c) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, the purpose of this Initial Study is to: (1) inform responsible agencies and the public of the
nature of the proposed project and its location, (2) identify impacts that will clearly not result or will
clearly be less than significant and therefore will not be discussed in the EIR, and (3) provide a general
description of the topics intended to be addressed in the EIR.
The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by implementation of the
proposed 2010 LRDP and/or by cumulative impacts resulting from implementation of the 2010 LRDP in
conjunction with other expected developments during the anticipated LRDP implementation period of
2025. These factors will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.

UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 25 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.0 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines provides a suggested format to use when preparing an Initial
Study. The Environmental Checklist used in this document adopts a slightly different format with respect
to response column headings, while still addressing the Appendix G checklist questions for each
environmental issue area.
The attached Environmental Checklist uses the following response headings to identify potential
environmental effects that will be addressed in the 2010 LRDP EIR:
Impact to be Analyzed in the LRDP EIR: An effect that may or may not be significant that will be
addressed in the 2010 LRDP EIR. The effect may be a less than significant impact that will be addressed to
provide a more comprehensive analysis, an impact for which further analysis is necessary or desirable
before a determination about significance can be made, an impact that is potentially significant but may
be reduced to a less than significant level with the adoption of mitigation measures, or an impact that
may be significant and unavoidable. The EIR will address this effect in a program level analysis for the
2010 LRDP and in a cumulative-level analysis for potential effects associated with growth under the 2010
LRDP and other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable development in the region through 2025.
No Additional Analysis Required: Implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP would clearly not result
in an impact or would clearly result in a less than significant impact under CEQA criteria, and no
additional analysis beyond that provided in the Initial Study is necessary.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 26 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.1 Aesthetics
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
AESTHETICS - Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenichighway?
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of thesite and its surroundings?
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which wouldadversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
a. A scenic vista is generally defined as an expansive view of highly valued landscape as observable from a
publicly accessible vantage point. The project site is not part of a scenic vista as designated by any local
plans or policies. The Sacramento Urban Design Plan includes a list of protected view corridors in
Sacramento (Sacramento Housing & Redevelopment Agency 1987). The nearest view corridors are along
the Capital Mall and 16th Street, approximately 2 miles northwest of the project site. Therefore,
development of the campus under the 2010 LRDP would not affect any scenic views available from these
view corridors. The City of Sacramento 2030 General Plan designates the Stockton Boulevard Corridor as
“Urban Corridor Low” and includes general guidelines for the growth for this type of corridor. The
guidelines suggest that heights of buildings aligned on the sidewalk and with entries directly on the
street frontage should range from two to six stories. Under the proposed 2010 LRDP, building heights
would not exceed 4-5 floors, except for the hospital zone, where taller buildings would be located in the
middle and southern portion of the hospital area. As such, the building height limits in the proposed 2010
LRDP are consistent with the building height guidance in the City of Sacramento 2030 General Plan for
the Stockton Boulevard Corridor and scenic vistas would not be adversely affected. Furthermore, the
proposed project site is flat and is located in an urban area surrounded by urban and suburban uses. The
intervening buildings and mature trees limit short-range and long-range views to and from the UC Davis
Sacramento Campus. Views of the campus can only be obtained from adjacent streets such as Stockton
Boulevard and X Street. Based on these factors, there would be no impact on scenic vistas and no further
analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 27 Initial StudyNovember 2009
b. Views of the campus site are available from State Route 99 (SR-99), State Route 50 (SR-50), and Interstate
80 (I-80), in addition to local routes. These roadways are not designated as state scenic highways (CSHP
2009). Therefore, the changes at the campus site under the 2010 LRDP would not adversely affect scenic
resources that are visible from a scenic highway. There would be no impact and no further analysis is
required.
c. The campus is located in a heavily urbanized area near the downtown portion of Sacramento and is
surrounded by residential and commercial uses. Development under the 2010 LRDP would result in an
increase in building space and density on the campus, and associated roadways, parking areas, and
support infrastructure. Therefore, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential for campus development
under the 2010 LRDP to degrade visual character or quality of the project area.
d. Implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP would result in new buildings; paved surfaces, roadway
lighting, and landscaping that would be potential sources of light and/or glare. The 2010 LRDP EIR will
review new sources of light and glare to evaluate the potential impacts on day or nighttime views in the
area.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 28 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.2 Agricultural and Forest Resources
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES - Would the project:
a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland ofStatewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps preparedpursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of theCalifornia Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a WilliamsonAct contract?
c. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land(as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)) or timberland(as defined in Public Resources Code section 4526)?
d. Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
e. Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due totheir location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, tonon-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to nonforest use?
a,d. The project site is the UC Davis Sacramento campus which is developed and is located near commercial
and residential land uses. The California Department of Conservation maintains the Farmland Mapping
and Monitoring Program (FMMP) for Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. The project site is listed as Urban/Built-up Land by the FMMP’s Sacramento County
Important Farmland map (FMMP 2008). The project and surrounding area does not include any forest
land. Therefore, development under the 2010 LRDP would not convert farmland to non-agricultural uses,
nor would it convert forest land to nonforest uses. No impact would occur and no further analysis is
required.
b,c. The project site is currently designated as an urban center, zoned for commercial, office, and single- and
multi-family residential uses, and developed with campus facilities. The surrounding area is also
developed with urban and suburban uses. Therefore, no impacts related to possible conflicts with zoning
for forest land, timberland, agricultural uses, or a Williamson Act contract would occur. No further
analysis is required.
e. As described above, no agricultural land, forest land, or related uses are found in the area or on the
campus. Therefore, implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP would not involve changes in the

existing environment that could result in conversion of farmland or forest land to non-agricultural or
nonforest use. There would be no impact and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 30 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.3 Air Quality
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
AIR QUALITY - Where available, the significance criteria established bythe applicable air quality management or air pollution control districtmay be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would theproject:
a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable airquality plan?
b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to anexisting or projected air quality violation?
c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteriapollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under anapplicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (includingreleasing emissions, which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozoneprecursors)?
d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
a. The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) prepares air emissions
inventories for air quality management plans based on existing and foreseeable future land uses from
local general plans within its jurisdiction. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate whether implementation of
the proposed 2010 LRDP would conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable air quality plans
within the Sacramento Valley Air Basin (SVAB), including the Sacramento Regional 8-Hour Ozone Plan
Management Program Plan, and the 1994 Sacramento Regional Clean Air Plan.
b. The project site is located within the SVAB, which is currently designated a non-attainment area for PM10
and ozone under state and federal standards, and PM2.5 under state standards. Project-related increases in
campus employees, hospital/laboratory space, equipment, and construction activities would be likely to
add incrementally to the regional ambient air pollutant emissions including short- and long-term
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 31 Initial StudyNovember 2009
emissions of criteria air pollutants from mobile and stationary sources, including PM10, ozone, and PM2.5.
The impact will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
c. As described above, development under the 2010 LRDP would incrementally contribute to the regional
ambient air pollutant emissions. For reasons stated above, the cumulative contribution to regional
ambient air pollutant emissions associated with implementation of the 2010 LRDP is considered
potentially significant and will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
d. Implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP would result in increases in campus-related vehicle trips and
hospital/laboratory space and equipment, the operation of which could generate substantial
concentrations of pollutants. Emissions associated with stationary and mobile sources from the project,
including carbon monoxide and toxic air contaminants (TAC), will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR for
their impact on sensitive receptors on and off site. The 2010 LRDP EIR will also include a Health Risk
Assessment that will evaluate the impact related to incremental carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic
human health risk from exposure to TACs associated with campus growth and cumulative growth.
e. There is no history of odor complaints from the UC Davis Sacramento Campus. Ongoing activities
associated with development under the proposed 2010 LRDP are not expected to create nuisance or
objectionable odors that would affect substantial numbers of people. However, the project site is in close
proximity to off-site receptors, including single- and multi- family homes. Given the proximity of the
project site to the off-site receptors, the impact will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 32 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.4 Biological Resources
Impact to beAnalyzed inthe LRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitatmodifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, orspecial status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish andWildlife Service?
b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or othersensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans,policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish andGame or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands asdefined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but notlimited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal,filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident ormigratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident ormigratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlifenursery sites?
e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biologicalresources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local,regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
a. Due to the project site’s history of disturbance, it is unlikely that implementation of the 2010 LRDP would
have direct or indirect adverse effects on any rare, endangered, or threatened species. The site is currently
developed with the existing campus buildings, in addition to paved roadways and parking areas, and
landscaped spaces.
A list of special-status plant and animal species that have been recorded in the vicinity of the project was
generated from the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) by Impact Sciences in August 2009.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 33 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Species that have been recorded in the Sacramento East topographic quad, in addition to the Carmichael,
Citrus Heights, Clarksburg, Elk Grove, Florin, Rio Linda, Sacramento West, and Taylor Monument
topographic quads were considered for their potential to occur on the site. From this list, species that
have habitat requirements that are clearly not met on site are not included in this analysis. Nearly all of
the species on the list are either riparian or wetlands species. Since there are no riparian or wetland areas
such as vernal pools on the site, all of the water-related species were eliminated from the analysis.
The three species not directly related to wet areas are Desmocerus californicus dimorphus (valley elderberry
longhorn beetle), Buteo swainsoni (Swainson's hawk), and Riparia riparia (bank swallow). The valley
elderberry longhorn beetle requires the presence of elderberry shrubs, of which there are several on the
campus site. These shrubs were planted by the campus as ornamental plants along a landscaped campus
greenbelt. The Swainson’s hawk needs opens foraging areas such as grasslands or agricultural lands. The
bank swallow needs some kind of "relief" such as a bank or cliff for nesting, although road or highway
underpasses may substitute. There are a variety of planted trees and landscaping present throughout the
site that provide some habitat for common wildlife. Because there are no expanses of grasslands or
agricultural land on or near the campus or banks, underpasses or cliffs, the project would not provide
suitable habitat for Swainson’s hawk or bank swallow. At the time that the 1989 LRDP was adopted, the
campus site contained habitat that was suitable for burrowing owls. Since then, the lands have been
developed and suitable habitat for the species is not present on site. In summary, no suitable habitat for
sensitive mammal, reptile, amphibian, or fish species exists on the project site. However, because of the
presence of elderberry shrubs on the campus, the impact to valley elderberry longhorn beetles will be
evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
The trees on the project site provide suitable nesting habitat for a variety of common bird species known
to occur in the project area. Construction-related activities could result in the direct loss of active nests or
the abandonment of active nests by adult birds during that year’s nesting season. Bird nests with eggs or
young are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the California Fish and Game Code. The
2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the impact related to active nests and include mitigation measures for this
impact as necessary.
b. As described under Item 5.4 (a,d) above, there are no riparian or sensitive natural community on the site.
Therefore, the proposed 2010 LRDP would not have a substantial impact on riparian habitat or sensitive
natural community, as defined in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. No further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 34 Initial StudyNovember 2009
c. The project site is developed with the existing campus buildings and related infrastructure. There are no
jurisdictional wetlands or water courses on the campus site. Therefore, there would be no impact to
wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and no further analysis is required.
d. The project site is surrounded by residential and commercial urban and suburban uses. Given the
existing developed land uses, and the proximity to I-50, it is unlikely that the site is used as a migratory
wildlife corridor or nursery site. Therefore, there would be no impact to wildlife movement and no
further analysis is required.
e. The City of Sacramento has adopted an ordinance to protect trees as a significant resource to the
community. According to City policy, all trees, regardless of size, should be retained if possible. Permits
are required to remove trees that are within City jurisdiction. In addition, the ordinance includes a
definition for a “heritage tree” and mandates protection of heritage trees during construction activities.
Since UC is constitutionally exempt from local zoning, the campus site is not subject to the City’s land use
polices and ordinances. However, the University of California reviews local policies and ordinances and
seeks to be as consistent as feasible. Most of the campus is developed with buildings, parking lots, roads,
and landscaping. Mature trees are limited to a few areas of the campus and although these trees have not
been evaluated as to whether they represent heritage trees, however based on their species, the majority
of the trees are unlikely to qualify as heritage trees. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate whether the
implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP will result in the removal of trees that would be considered
heritage trees.
f. There are no adopted Habitat Conservation Plans or Natural Community Conservation Plans that
encompass the project area. Therefore, no impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 35 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.5 Cultural Resources
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
CULTURAL RESOURCES - Would the project:
a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of ahistorical resource as defined in Section 15064.5?
b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of anarchaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource orsite or unique geologic feature?
d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside offormal cemeteries?
a. Implementation of the 2010 LRDP would result in demolition of existing structures on the project site,
some of which could be defined as a historical resource as defined by Section 15064.5. A project that may
cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource may have a significant effect
upon the environment according to State CEQA Guidelines Section 21084.1. A property qualifies as an
historic resource, and should be considered as such, if it meets one or more of the criteria for listing on
the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR), pursuant to CEQA Section 15064.5. These criteria
indicate that a resource shall be considered “historically significant” if it:
Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns ofCalifornia's history and cultural heritage;
Is associated with lives of persons important in our past;
Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, orrepresents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
Has yielded, or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history.
To qualify as a significant historical resource, a property must be at least 50 years old, although there are
exceptions. This threshold was chosen as a reasonable span of time after which a professional evaluation
of historical significance can be made. Moreover, this standard is commonly used in determining which
buildings should be assessed under CEQA. It should also be noted that properties that are eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) are automatically eligible for listing on the
CRHR.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 36 Initial StudyNovember 2009
The following buildings were constructed more than 50 years ago:
Structure Year of Construction Former Use
Housestaff Building 1916 Sacramento County Hospital
Main Hospital 1929 Sacramento County Hospital
Primary Care Facility (Cypress Building) 1954 Sacramento County Hospital
Main Hospital Additions 1950
Warehouse Prior to 1953, probablyaround 1940
California State Fairgrounds
Governors Hall 1941 California State Fairgrounds
The impact of the 2010 LRDP on these potential historic resources will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR
as will the potential impact to other buildings that would become 50 years of age during the life of the
2010 LRDP.
b, d. Public Resources Code (Section 21083.2(g)) defines a “unique archaeological resource” as a resource for
which it can be clearly demonstrated that without merely adding to the current body of knowledge there
is a high probability that it:
Contains information needed to answer important scientific questions and there is a demonstrablepublic interest in that information.
Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important historic or prehistoric event orperson.
Has a special and particular quality, such as being the oldest of its type or the best available exampleof its type.
The project site is currently developed with existing campus facilities. The site has been heavily disturbed
with grading and utility work. In 2004, during excavation for the addition of a radiation oncology lab in
the Cancer Center on the project site, workers discovered a human cranial bone fragment and several
other bones. Ground disturbing activities were immediately halted and the county coroner notified of the
discovery. The human remains were determined to be part of the former Sacramento County Hospital
burial ground and the Cancer Center site was excavated and evaluated for further evidence of remains.
Since human remains have been encountered on the campus, the potential impact to previously unknown
subsurface archaeological resources, including human remains, will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
c. While State CEQA Guidelines Appendix G refers to unique paleontological and geologic resources, CEQA
does not define these terms. For purposes of this analysis, relevant provisions used to define a unique
archaeological resource are also used to define unique paleontological and geologic resources. In
addition, state law explicitly finds vertebrate paleontological sites and fossil footprints as significant
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 37 Initial StudyNovember 2009
resources and requires documenting them for public record (Archaeological, Paleontological, and
Historic Sites Statute at PRC 5097 et seq.). As described under Item 5.5 (b,d) above, extensive excavation
activities for buildings and infrastructure have taken place on the project site. No unique paleontological
or geologic resources have been encountered on the campus. Therefore, implementation of the
2010 LRDP would not affect such resources. No impact would occur with implementation of the
proposed project and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 38 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.6 Geology and Soils
Impact to beAnalyzed inthe LRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
GEOLOGY AND SOILS - Would the project:
a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recentAlquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the StateGeologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of aknown fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology SpecialPublication 42.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
iv. Landslides?
b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that wouldbecome unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction orcollapse?
d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the UniformBuilding Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanksor alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are notavailable for the disposal of wastewater?
a-i. The campus is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The faults located closest to
the site are the Bear Mountain and New Melones faults to the east, and the Midland Fault to the west. The
Sacramento region has experienced ground shaking originating from faults in the Foothills fault zone and
the Dunnigan Hills fault. The nearest fault is more than 40 miles away from the site. Therefore, fault
rupture within the campus site is unlikely. The proposed 2010 LRDP would not expose people or
structures to potential substantial adverse effects resulting from rupture of a known earthquake fault. No
impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 39 Initial StudyNovember 2009
a-ii. The project site is located in a low-intensity seismic zone (Zone 3) (UC Davis 2002). However, the effects
of ground shaking during a probable maximum intensity earthquake for the area could include damage
to masonry walls, stucco, and chimneys. Furthermore, some of the older buildings on the campus, the
Housestaff Building and the North/South Wing of the Hospital, are seismically deficient. The UC Davis
Health System intends to demolish or retrofit these structures in accordance with the California Hospital
Seismic Retrofit Program (Senate Bill 1953). Furthermore the UC Davis Health System will continue to
minimize hazards associated with damage or destruction to buildings and other structures by reviewing
and approving all draft building plans for compliance with the California Building Code (CBC), which
includes specific structural seismic safety provisions. Therefore, the impact associated with risks due to
seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. No further analysis is required.
a-iii. The Sacramento General Plan indicates that soils on the project site are not subject to liquefaction (City of
Sacramento 2008). The 2010 LRDP includes planning principles that describe the siting and design for
individual development projects. As stated in the 2010 LRDP, geotechnical studies would be prepared for
individual projects implementing the 2010 LRDP to identify site-specific conditions related to ground
failure. The recommendations of the geotechnical studies would be implemented during design and
construction of individual projects implementing the 2010 LRDP to ensure no liquefaction impacts.
However, the 2010 LRDP EIR will further evaluate the impact related to liquefaction potential.
a-iv. The campus and the surrounding area are characterized by flat topography and therefore would not be
susceptible to landslides. No impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
b. The campus is underlain with soils classified as San Joaquin Urban land complex, which is characterized
by low erosion potential. Construction activities under the 2010 LRDP could result in increased rates of
erosion. In addition, increased impervious surfaces under the 2010 LRDP could increase stormwater
runoff, which could potentially increase rates of erosion. However, the 2010 LRDP prescribes
implementation of standard methods for erosion and runoff control during construction activities,
including filtration at the site perimeter. Areas disturbed by construction activities would be landscaped
at the completion of construction, which would also minimize erosion potential.
Construction projects on the campus that disturb more than 1 acre would be required by state law to
obtain coverage under the state NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with
Construction Activity prior to construction and the UC Davis Sacramento Campus would be required to
file a notice of intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board. As required by the NPDES
program, the UC Davis Health System or the civil engineer or contractor for any project being
implemented in furtherance of the 2010 LRDP would develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that specifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 40 Initial StudyNovember 2009
sedimentation of runoff water and to keep construction pollutants from coming into contact with storm
water. However, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate erosion impacts.
c. As described under Item 5.14 (a), the campus and surrounding area are characterized by flat topography
and would not be subject to landslides. Lateral spreading, liquefaction potential, and other unstable soil
conditions have not been identified as development constraints on the campus site. Furthermore, the soils
of the San Joaquin Urban land complex typically consist of loose alluvial deposits that have a moderate
potential for such unstable soil conditions. There has been no evidence of subsidence due to groundwater
withdrawal on the campus site. Furthermore, compliance with building code would reduce risks
associated with soil instability. Therefore, the potential risks associated with soil stability and
development under the 2010 LRDP would be less than significant. No further analysis is required.
d. The soils underlying the campus are characterized as exhibiting a moderate shrink-swell potential (or the
potential for volume change with losses and gains in moisture). The 2010 LRDP includes planning
principles that describe the siting and design for individual development projects. As stated in the
2010 LRDP, geotechnical studies would be prepared for individual projects implementing the 2010 LRDP
to identify site-specific soil conditions. The recommendations of the geotechnical studies would be
implemented during project design and construction to ensure no impacts from expansive soils.
However, the 2010 LRDP EIR will further evaluate impacts from expansive soils.
e. Campus development under the 2010 LRDP would not involve the installation of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems. No impact would occur. No further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 41 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS - Would the project:
a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, thatmay have a significant impact on the environment?
b. Conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agencyadopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhousegases?
a, b. The proposed 2010 LRDP incorporates all of the goals contained in the UC Policy on Sustainable
Practices.2 However, development under the 2010 LRDP could result in increases in greenhouse
emissions from stationary, area, and mobile sources. The 2010 LRDP EIR will include an evaluation of
greenhouse gas emissions under the proposed project and the project’s effect on global climate. In
addition, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential for the project to conflict with any applicable
plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

5.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Impact to beAnalyzed inthe LRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS- Would the project:
a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment throughthe routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment throughreasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving therelease of hazardous materials into the environment?
c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardousmaterials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existingor proposed school?
d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materialssites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as aresult, would it create a significant hazard to the public or theenvironment?
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where suchplan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or publicuse airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for peopleresiding or working in the project area?
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the projectresult in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the projectarea?
g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adoptedemergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or deathinvolving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent tourbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wild lands?
a. Construction activities associated with development implementing the 2010 LRDP would involve the use
of various products that could contain hazardous materials (such as solvents, adhesives, cements, paints,
cleaning agents, degreasers, and fuels used in construction vehicles). Other campus operations under the
2010 LRDP would involve hazardous materials (chemical, radiological, and biohazardous), including
laboratory activities, general maintenance, including use of both conventional and “green” cleaning
materials and disinfectants, and landscaping. In addition, although there are no known contaminated
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 43 Initial StudyNovember 2009
sites, soil or groundwater contamination could be present in campus areas that could be developed under
the 2010 LRDP. Development of contaminated sites could potentially expose campus occupants and
construction workers to hazardous materials.
The 2010 LRDP EIR will characterize hazardous materials transport, use, and disposal by the campus,
will identify projected increases in these activities that could occur under the 2010 LRDP, and will
evaluate potential impacts associated with these increased activities. Although there are no known
contaminated sites, the 2010 LRDP EIR will address potential impacts associated with development of
contaminated sites. As described in Section 5.3, the 2010 LRDP EIR will also include a Health Risk
Assessment (HRA) that will evaluate the incremental human health risk from exposure to TAC emissions
from campus sources including the hospital, educational/research laboratories, the central plant,
emergency generators, and other sources (e.g., painting operations, solvent cleaning operations, and
vehicle maintenance) under the proposed 2010 LRDP.
b. As discussed above, the 2010 LRDP EIR will characterize hazardous materials (chemical, radiological,
and biohazardous [including medical waste]) transport, use, and disposal for the Sacramento Campus. In
addition, the 2010 LRDP EIR will assess the increase in these activities that could occur under the 2010
LRDP and will evaluate the potential impacts of accidental releases of these materials.
c. The Marian Anderson Elementary School is located on 49th Street, between existing campus buildings.
Campus activities under the 2010 LRDP could involve hazardous emissions and handling of hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school. The 2010 LRDP EIR
will characterize hazardous materials transport, use, and disposal for the Sacramento Campus as well as
increases projected in these activities under the 2010 LRDP, and it will evaluate the potential impacts of
such increased activity, including potential exposure of, and effects on, children.
d. There are no hazardous materials sites on the campus that are listed on the Department of Toxic
Substances Control's Cortese List compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Although the
University is not aware of any contamination, there is a potential for past uses at the campus site to have
resulted in spills or leaks of fuels or other hazardous substances. There also may be buried items (e.g.,
underground tank installed prior to permitting requirements) or debris, which could have resulted in soil
contamination. Construction of projects at the campus could expose construction workers to
contamination, including asbestos. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate impacts of hazardous materials sites
on the public and the environment.
e, f. The nearest public use airport to the campus is the Sacramento International Airport, which lies
approximately 11 miles northwest of the site. There are no other public or private airport facilities in the
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 44 Initial StudyNovember 2009
vicinity of the campus. A private company provides Life Flight helicopter service at the campus. The
helicopter operations are required to comply with strict federal and state general aviation requirements,
including flight arrival and departure paths and refueling operations. UC Davis Health System does not
allow refueling on the campus. Although the number of flights to the campus could increase as a result of
an increase in regional population, the increase in the number of flights would not be a consequence of
the proposed LRDP. In addition, the proposed LRDP includes limitations on the heights of structures in
the three major districts of the campus; consequently a change in flight patterns would not result from the
construction of new buildings. Therefore the proposed LRDP is not expected to change the hazard related
to helicopter overflights compared to current conditions. In summary, development under the 2010 LRDP
would not result in a safety hazard for people working in campus facilities or residing in the area. No
impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
g. The UC Davis Health System updated the “Emergency Response Plan” and “Emergency Operations
Plan” in February, 2009. The Emergency Response Plan establishes a framework for mitigating, preparing
for, responding to, and recovering from any type of threat, hazard or incident that could affect the
demand for services provided by the UC Davis Health System. Incidents include natural or human-made
hazards, including floods, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, nuclear accidents, hazardous materials spills,
transportation accidents, or public health and medical emergencies. In addition, the Emergency
Operations Plan is initiated at the campus when a “Code Green” is called and is implemented through
the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS). Development implementing the 2010 LRDP could
potentially exceed the existing emergency response capabilities on the campus. New development
projects under the 2010 LRDP may have the potential to physically interfere with the campus emergency
response plan. The 2010 LRDP EIR will characterize the campus' emergency response plans and
capabilities, and it will assess the effects of growth under the 2010 LRDP on the campus' ability to
manage emergencies.
h. The campus is surrounded by existing developed uses, including buildings, roadways and paved parking
areas. There are no heavily vegetated areas on or in the vicinity of the campus. Therefore, the impact
associated with exposure of people and structures to a significant risk involving wildland fires would be
less than significant. No further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 45 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
Impact to beAnalyzed inLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY- Would the project:
a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantiallywith groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit inaquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g.,the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a levelwhich would not support existing land uses or planned uses for whichpermits have been granted)?
c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in amanner, that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or offsite?
d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, orsubstantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in amanner, that would result in flooding on or off site?
e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity ofexisting or planned stormwater drainage systems or providesubstantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on afederal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or otherflood hazard delineation map?
h. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which wouldimpede or redirect flood flows?
i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or deathinvolving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of alevee or dam?
j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 46 Initial StudyNovember 2009
a. Water quality is regulated by both state and federal agencies under the authority of the federal Clean
Water Act and the Porter Cologne Act. Projects that have the potential to degrade water quality are
subject to the regulations of those agencies. New development and campus activities associated with
implementation of the 2010 LRDP could increase levels of sediment in stormwater runoff, adversely
affecting receiving water quality. Increased impervious surfaces associated with development under the
2010 LRDP could also adversely affect receiving water quality by increasing levels of urban contaminants
(such as oil, grease, metals, pesticides/herbicides, and entrained dust) in stormwater runoff. Operational
activities may involve common urban pollutants such as surface litter, oil, gasoline, grease, paint,
fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. These activities could result in the discharge of pollutants into
surface waters resources that would degrade water quality. The effect of increased runoff and increased
operations on the campus on receiving water quality will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
b. The campus is underlain by sedimentary layers that are part of a large aquifer system extending
throughout the Central Valley. The major water-bearing material in the Sacramento area is alluvium.
However, the aquifer is not used by the campus for potable water supply, nor is the campus area
identified as a groundwater recharge area. Although a large percentage of the campus is already
developed with impervious surfaces including roadways, parking areas, and building rooftops,
development of the campus under the 2010 LRDP would increase impervious surface coverage. The effect
of the change in impervious surfaces on groundwater recharge will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
As described in more detail in Section 5.16, Utilities, below, potable water is supplied to the campus by
the City of Sacramento, which is drawn from various surface and groundwater sources. However, on-site
wells are used to meet some of the irrigation demand on the campus. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate
whether the use of groundwater for irrigation will increase as a result of the proposed project and
whether the increase would result in an impact on the groundwater aquifer.
c. No streams or rivers are located on the campus and implementation of the 2010 LRDP would therefore
not directly alter the course of a stream or river. Construction activities involving soil disturbance such as
excavation, demolition, stockpiling, and grading activities could however result in increased erosion and
sedimentation to off-site surface waters, and could produce contaminated stormwater runoff, a major
contributor to the degradation of water quality. However, the standard methods for erosion and runoff
control, including filtration at the site perimeter, would be used during construction. Areas disturbed by
construction activities would be landscaped at the completion of construction, which would also
minimize erosion potential.
Construction projects on the campus that disturb more than 1 acre would be required by state law to
obtain coverage under the state NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 47 Initial StudyNovember 2009
Construction Activity prior to construction and the UC Davis Sacramento Campus would be required to
file a notice of intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board. As required by the NPDES
program, the UC Davis Health System or the civil engineer, contractor or third-party developer
undertaking a project in furtherance of the 2010 LRDP will develop and implement a SWPPP that
specifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and sedimentation of runoff water and to
keep construction pollutants from coming into contact with storm water. However, erosion impacts will
be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
d. Implementation of the 2010 LRDP would not alter the course of a stream or river as no streams or rivers
are present on or near the site. The American River is approximately 2 miles north of the campus, and the
Sacramento River is approximately 3 miles west of the campus. However, development under the 2010
LRDP would increase impervious surfaces and could alter drainage patterns on the project site, which
could result in increased runoff to the City-operated storm drain system. The potential for increased
runoff from the campus to result in flooding impacts will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
e. As discussed in Items 5.8(a) and (d) above, development under the 2010 LRDP would increase
impervious surfaces, which could increase the volume of stormwater runoff and increase levels of urban
contaminants in stormwater. The stormwater flows from the campus are collected in the drain inlets,
catch basins, and gutters, before being discharged into the City of Sacramento storm drain system. A
portion of stormwater and sewer flows from the campus are detained in a detention facility on the
campus before it is released to and treated at the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The
existing stormwater detention facility was constructed by the City of Sacramento, and is sized to
accommodate runoff generated by impervious surfaces on the Sacramento Campus, assuming
development of more than 6 million gsf of building space. The effects of increased runoff will be
evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR in terms of both available system detention capacity and potential for
increased pollutants.
f. Potential sources of water quality degradation under the 2010 LRDP are discussed in Items 5.8(a), (c) and
(e) above. Medical waste disposal and handling will be evaluated in the Hazards and Hazardous
Materials section of the 2010 LRDP EIR.
g, h. The 2010 LRDP does not include residential uses. The site is not located in a 100-year floodplain, as
defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA 2008). Therefore, implementation of the
2010 LRDP would not place residences or any other type of structure in a floodplain. No impact would
occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 48 Initial StudyNovember 2009
i. The project site is not located near a levee or dam and would not be subject to risk of flooding due to
failure of one of these structures. The nearest levees are approximately 2 miles to the north (American
River levees) and 3 miles to the west (Sacramento River levees). Therefore, exposure of people of
structures to inundation as a result of dam failure would be a less than significant impact and no further
analysis is required.
j. The project site is not subject to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. The campus is generally flat
and is not located in close proximity to any large water bodies. The Pacific Ocean lies approximately 90
miles west of the campus. Therefore, no impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 49 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.10 Land Use and Planning
Impact to beAnalyzed inthe LRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
LAND USE AND PLANNING - Would the project:
a. Physically divide an established community?
b. Conflict with applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of anagency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to,the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoningordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating anenvironmental effect?
c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or naturalcommunity conservation plan?
a. The campus site is developed with the existing hospital and supporting uses. Areas to the north and east
of the project site are established residential neighborhoods. Campus development under the proposed
2010 LRDP would have no potential to physically divide an established community because all of the
development under the proposed LRDP would be limited to the area of the campus. The specific projects
on the campus under the 2010 LRDP would not include any physical barriers such as roads or other
infrastructure that would divide an established community. The proposed LRDP does include reduced
access to and from V Street; however this change will not physically divide the neighborhood which is
located to the north of V Street. No impact would occur and no additional analysis is required.
b. The 2010 LRDP would be the applicable land use plan for the campus. The area surrounding the campus
is within the City of Sacramento's jurisdiction and is subject to city policies that control the timing and
location of future development proposals and mitigate certain environmental effects. Although the
campus is not within the jurisdiction of the City of Sacramento and University development is not subject
to local land use controls, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential for campus growth under the
2010 LRDP to directly or indirectly conflict with city General Plan policies.
c. There are no adopted habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans that are
applicable to the campus. Therefore, development under the proposed 2010 LRDP would not conflict
with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No impact would
occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 50 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.11 Mineral Resources
Impact tobeAnalyzedin theLRDP EIR
NoAdditionalAnalysisRequired
MINERAL RESOURCES - Would the project:
a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that wouldbe of future value to the region and the residents of the State?
b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resourcerecovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or otherland use plan?
a. Fine (sand) and coarse (gravel) construction aggregates and clay are important mineral resources in the
Sacramento region. In addition, the Sacramento Valley is underlain with oil and gas resources. The
project site is located in a Mineral Resource Zone – 3, indicating that it is in an area that contains mineral
deposits, the significance of which cannot be evaluated from available data. The Florin Gas field is the
closest known natural gas field to the project site. However, wells in that field are plugged and
abandoned. Even if the campus site were determined to be rich in natural gas deposits, natural gas could
be extracted at wells placed considerable distance from deposits. Development under the 2010 LRDP
would not involve extraction of mineral resources, so would not result in the loss of availability of a
known mineral resource. No impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
b. As discussed above, development under the 2010 LRDP would not result in the loss of availability of any
known mineral resources. No impact would occur and no further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 51 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.12 Noise
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
NOISE - Would the project result in:
a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess ofstandards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance,or applicable standards of other agencies?
b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground bornevibration or ground borne noise levels?
c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in theproject vicinity above levels existing without the project?
d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noiselevels in the project vicinity above levels existing without theproject?
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where sucha plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport orpublic use airport, would the project expose people residing orworking in the project area to excessive noise levels?
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would theproject expose people residing or working in the project area toexcessive noise levels?
a. The proposed 2010 LRDP could result in increases or changes in noise levels from sources such as
construction activities, operation of buildings and infrastructure, and increased vehicular traffic. In
addition, development under the 2010 LRDP could expose off-campus residents to loud noises. The 2010
LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential for development under the 2010 LRDP to increase noise levels and
expose people to noise levels in excess of local standards.
b. Construction activities associated with development under the 2010 LRDP would be potential sources of
groundborne vibration and noise on and near the campus. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential
for increased groundborne vibration or noise levels associated with construction and operation under the
2010 LRDP to affect nearby sensitive receptors.
c. Implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP could result in a permanent increase in the ambient noise
levels in the project vicinity due to increased traffic levels and operation of buildings and infrastructure.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 52 Initial StudyNovember 2009
The 2010 LRDP EIR will analyze permanent increases in ambient noise levels caused by growth expected
during implementation of the 2010 LRDP.
d. Development under the 2010 LRDP could result in temporary increases in ambient noise levels.
Construction activities under the 2010 LRDP would contribute to these temporary increases in the
existing noise levels. The 2010 LRDP EIR will analyze temporary and periodic increases in ambient noise
levels caused by implementation of the proposed 2010 LRDP.
The project site is currently exposed to noise from helicopter take-off/landing operations associated with
the transport of patients requiring urgent care. Population growth in the region could result in an
increase in the number of patients requiring urgent care and thus helicopter use; however, this increase
will not be a consequence of the proposed LRDP. Therefore, given that the helicopter activity would not
increase as a result of the 2010 LRDP, the project would not result in a substantial temporary increase in
ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. However, additional
evaluation of potential increases in helicopter noise will be included in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
e. The campus is not located in the immediate vicinity of an airport. The closest airport is Sacramento
Executive Airport, located approximately 2.7 miles southwest of the project site. There would be no
impact and no further analysis is required.
f. The proposed project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip. There would be no impact and no
further analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 53 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.13 Population and Housing
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
POPULATION & HOUSING - Would the project:
a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly(for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) orindirectly (for example, through extension of roads or otherinfrastructure)?
b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitatingthe construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating theconstruction of replacement housing elsewhere?
a. The proposed 2010 LRDP would increase the daily population on the campus which would increase the
Sacramento area population. The projected increases in the on-campus daily population are provided in
the Project Description section of this Initial Study. No housing is proposed as part of the project. The
2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the impact of projected population growth associated with the proposed
2010 LRDP on housing.
b, c. The campus site does not have any existing housing uses, nor do people live on the campus. The
proposed 2010 LRDP would not displace existing housing, or displace substantial numbers of people. No
impact would occur and no additional analysis is required.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 54 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.14 Public Services
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impactsassociated with the provision of new or physically alteredgovernmental facilities, need for new or physically alteredgovernmental facilities, the construction of which could causesignificant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptableservice ratios, response times or other performance objectives forany of the public services:
i. Fire protection?
ii. Police protection?
iii. Schools?
iv. Parks?
v. Other public facilities?
a-i. The City of Sacramento provides fire protection services to the Sacramento Campus and all leased
campus facilities located off of the campus. The closest fire station to the project site is located at 3145
Granada Way, approximately 1 mile to the north. Development under the 2010 LRDP would increase the
number of employees and amount of building space on the campus at any given time, which could
increase the demand for fire protection. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate this increased demand, will
compare this demand to existing and planned City equipment and staffing levels, and will evaluate
potential environmental impacts associated with the construction of any new or altered facilities that
would be required to meet the UC Davis Sacramento Campus’s projected additional demand for these
services associated with implementation of the 2010 LRDP.
a-ii. The UC Davis Police Department provides police services for all buildings and facilities either owned or
leased by UC Davis Health System. UC Davis Health System operates a substation on the Sacramento
Campus that provides all needed police services at the campus. Growth under the proposed 2010 LRDP
could contribute to an increased demand for police services. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate this
increased demand, will compare this demand to existing and planned UC Davis Police Department
staffing levels, and will evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the construction of any
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 55 Initial StudyNovember 2009
new or altered facilities that would be required to meet the UC Davis Sacramento Campus’s projected
additional demand for these services associated with implementation of the 2010 LRDP.
a-iii. Growth under the 2010 LRDP would increase the on-campus employee population, which could
indirectly increase demand for schools in the broader Sacramento metropolitan area. The 2010 LRDP EIR
will evaluate the increase in demand for schools and the potential environmental impacts associated with
the construction of any new or altered school facilities that would be required to meet the UC Davis
Sacramento Campus’s projected additional demand for these services associated with implementation of
the 2010 LRDP.
a-iv. The City of Sacramento maintains several parks and recreational areas in the vicinity of the campus. In
addition, the UC Davis Health System maintains open space and a Recreation/Wellness Center on the
campus. Growth under the 2010 LRDP would increase the on-campus daily population, which could
increase demand for parks. It is anticipated that the population associated with the proposed 2010 LRDP
would be adequately served by the on-campus facilities. The 2010 LRDP EIR will confirm the increase in
demand for parks and the potential impacts associated with any new or altered recreational facilities that
would be required to meet this demand.
a-v. UC Davis currently has four libraries that serve the population associated with both campuses, and the
general public: Shields Library, the Physical Sciences Library, the Law Library, and the Health Sciences
Library. Of these, the Health Sciences Library is located at the Sacramento Campus, which is accessible to
members of the general public who apply for library privileges. It is anticipated that the population
associated with the proposed 2010 LRDP would be adequately served by the existing libraries. The 2010
LRDP EIR will confirm the increased demand for library facilities under the 2010 LRDP and will evaluate
potential impacts associated with the construction of any new or altered libraries that would be required
to meet this demand.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 56 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.15 Recreation
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
RECREATION - Would the project:
a. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood andregional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantialphysical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require theconstruction or expansion of recreational facilities, which mighthave an adverse physical effect on the environment?
a, b. The UC Davis Health System maintains a fitness center at the Sacramento Campus. The City of
Sacramento also maintains recreational facilities ranging from developed parks with lighted playfields to
open space greenbelts in the vicinity of the campus. The employee population on the campus would
increase under the 2010 LRDP, which could result in increased use of parks and recreational facilities. It is
anticipated that the population associated with the proposed 2010 LRDP would be adequately served by
the on-campus facilities. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the potential for any increased facility usage to
cause or accelerate physical deterioration of off-site parks and recreational facilities or the potential
environmental effects associated with construction of new or expanded recreational facilities necessary to
serve population growth associated with 2010 LRDP implementation.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 57 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.16 Transportation/Traffic
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC - Would the project:
a. Exceed the capacity of the existing circulation system, based on anapplicable measure of effectiveness (as designated in a general planpolicy, ordinance, etc.), taking into account all relevant componentsof the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections,streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, andmass transit?
b. Conflict with an applicable congestion management program,including, but not limited to level of service standards and traveldemand measures, or other standards established by the countycongestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increasein traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantialsafety risks?
d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharpcurves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farmequipment)?
e. Result in inadequate emergency access?
f. Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supportingalternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
a, b. Development under the proposed 2010 LRDP would result in increased traffic associated with new
employees, students, patients, and visitors to the campus site. The increase in traffic associated with the
project could be considered substantial relative to existing roadway capacity in the project vicinity. The
2010 LRDP EIR will include a detailed evaluation of increased traffic under the 2010 LRDP and will
identify intersection and roadway impacts in the campus vicinity and in the region as a result of campus
growth, including impacts to congestion management agency intersections. The project study area and
study intersections are shown in Figure 6, Study Intersections.

c. The proposed 2010 LRDP does not include any land uses adjacent to or near an airport. The project does
not include uses that could require alteration of primary air traffic patterns. Helicopter operations would
continue, regardless of whether or not the 2010 LRDP is approved. The helicopter operations are required
to comply with strict federal and state general aviation requirements, including flight arrival and
departure paths. Furthermore, for reasons presented earlier, LRDP policies and procedures will ensure
that new buildings proposed under the 2010 LRDP would not require a change in flight patterns.
Therefore, no change in air traffic patterns would occur due to the proposed project. There would be no
impact and no further analysis is required.
d. The proposed 2010 LRDP would not result in land use changes and development of land that would
increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible
uses. Under the 2010 LRDP, access to the campus for general traffic from V Street will be limited to one
location at 49th Street. Other existing entry points will be closed to general traffic with only service or
emergency vehicles allowed access. The closure of V Street would reduce the traffic on that street and
thereby reduce the potential for traffic accidents. However, because V Street closure would change traffic
patterns in and around the campus, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate potential impacts related to hazards
from any new design features or changes in traffic patterns.
e. The proposed 2010 LRDP would result in land use changes and development of land that could affect
emergency access by causing roadway changes that could hinder emergency access. The 2010 LRDP EIR
will evaluate potential impacts to emergency access.
f. The proposed 2010 LRDP would create additional demand for parking capacity. Additional parking
capacity would be required to adequately provide automobile access for the future campus population
and to ensure that campus users will not park in adjacent neighborhoods. The 2010 LRDP EIR will
evaluate the anticipated parking demand associated with the 2010 LRDP in comparison to the existing
and proposed future parking supply.
g. The 2010 LRDP EIR will describe the existing adopted policies, plans, and/or programs (including the UC
Policy on Sustainable Practices) supporting alternative transportation on the campus. In addition, the EIR
will evaluate the potential effect of implementing the 2010 LRDP on alternative transportation, including
the provisions of bicycle and pedestrian connections to new land uses, and transit.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 60 Initial StudyNovember 2009
5.17 Utilities and Service Systems
Impact to beAnalyzed in theLRDP EIR
No AdditionalAnalysisRequired
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS - Would the project:
a. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicableRegional Water Quality Control Board?
b. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewatertreatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, theconstruction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
c. Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainagefacilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of whichcould cause significant environmental effects?
d. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project fromexisting entitlements and resources, or are new and expandedentitlements needed?
e. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider,which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacityto serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’sexisting commitments?
f. Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity toaccommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs?
g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations relatedto solid waste?
h. Require or result in the construction or expansion of electrical ornatural gas facilities which would cause significant environmentalimpacts?
i. Create other utility and service system impacts?
a. Wastewater and stormwater from about half of the campus is conveyed to the City of Sacramento
combined sewer and storm water facilities, and is treated at the Sacramento Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant (SRWTP). The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB)
regulates the quality and quantity of effluent discharged from the SRWTP. Development implementing
the 2010 LRDP would increase the volume of wastewater and stormwater that could potentially affect the
quality of wastewater received at the SRWTP for treatment. The 2010 LRDP EIR will characterize the
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 61 Initial StudyNovember 2009
SRWTP requirements, the campus’ procedures for meeting these requirements, and projected increases in
discharge under the 2010 LRDP and will evaluate whether the increased flows could result in
exceedances of SRWTP requirements.
b, d, e. Implementation of the 2010 LRDP would result in an increase in water use and generation of wastewater.
As discussed in Item 5.16 (a), the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the increased demand on wastewater
treatment and conveyance facilities associated with the proposed 2010 LRDP. Potable water is supplied to
the campus from the City of Sacramento, and on-site wells supply irrigation water. The 2010 LRDP EIR
will evaluate the adequacy of the existing water supply and infrastructure to serve campus growth and
will determine the impact of campus growth under the proposed 2010 LRDP on water supply, treatment,
and conveyance facilities, including available capacity to serve the development under the 2010 LRDP,
the need, if any, to construct additional facilities, and the environmental impacts from the construction of
those facilities.
c. The 2010 LRDP would increase impervious surfaces on the campus, which could increase the volume of
stormwater drainage which could require the construction of new stormwater facilities. The 2010 LRDP
EIR will evaluate the capacity of existing facilities to accommodate development implementing the 2010
LRDP, and if there is not sufficient capacity, the environmental effects from the construction of new
facilities.
f, g. Growth under the 2010 LRDP could result in increased generation of solid waste at the campus. The City
of Sacramento collects and disposes of solid waste that is generated by the campus. The 2010 LRDP EIR
will evaluate whether the existing landfill capacity would be sufficient to accommodate growth under the
2010 LRDP. In addition, the 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate compliance with UC Policy on Sustainable
Practices and federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste disposal. Medical
waste disposal and handling will be evaluated in the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the
2010 LRDP EIR.
h. The Central Cogeneration Plant on the Sacramento Campus provides normal and emergency electrical
power, chilled and hot water for heating and cooling, and process steam to most campus buildings. The
Central Plant uses natural gas provided by Pacific Gas & Electric Company. The Central Plant is designed
to accommodate some growth in utility demand. The 2010 LRDP would increase demand for electricity
and natural gas on the Sacramento Campus, which could result in the construction of new or expansion
of existing energy production and/or transmission facilities. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the
capacity of existing energy facilities to accommodate development implementing the 2010 LRDP, and if
there is not sufficient capacity, the environmental effects from the construction of new or expanded
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 62 Initial StudyNovember 2009
facilities. If required, the 2010 LRDP EIR will identify programmatic-level mitigation measures to achieve
energy conservation.
i. Development under the 2010 LRDP could result in an increased demand on telecommunications facilities.
The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the project’s effects on these utilities and will determine if new or
expanded facilities would be required to meet the demands of the 2010 LRDP.

5.18 Mandatory Findings of Significance
Impact tobeAnalyzed inthe LRDPEIR
NoAdditionalAnalysisRequired
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of theenvironment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlifespecies, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animalcommunity, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare orendangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples ofthe major periods of California history or pre-history?
b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, butcumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" meansthat the incremental effects of a project are considerable whenviewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effectsof other current projects, and the effects of probable futureprojects).
c. Does the project have environmental effects, which will causesubstantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly orindirectly?
a. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate the proposed 2010 LRDP to determine if the project has the potential to
result in significant impacts that could degrade the quality of the environment or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
As shown in Section 5.4, Biological Resources, of this Initial Study, due to absence of appropriate habitat
on the campus, the proposed project would not reduce habitat for a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. However,
potential impacts to the valley elderberry longhorn beetle will be evaluated in the 2010 LRDP EIR.
b. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate whether impacts associated with campus growth under the 2010 LRDP,
in combination with past, current, and probable future projects, have the potential to be cumulatively
considerable.
UC Davis Sacramento Campus LRDP 64 Initial StudyNovember 2009
c. As discussed in the checklist sections above, the proposed 2010 LRDP has the potential to result in
significant impacts. The 2010 LRDP EIR will evaluate if these impacts have the potential to result in
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
