Article abstract: Overview From its inception in 1960, the University of California, San Diego has engaged in integrated campus planning. Its earliest formal plans, the 1963 Academic Plan and the 1963 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP), defined key academic and auxiliary program goals, and described physical design concepts which guided the transformation of the main campus site, a former military training base, into a world class research university. - Financial Plan which delineates UC San Diego's key academic, strategic, and specific building goals, - summarizes the planning and design criteria that guide the siting and development of capital projects, - describes the consultative processes that enable sustainable growth and preservation of the campus' extraordinary physical environment, and - provides a synopsis of the portfolio and hierarchy of land use plans and design. Documents that guide physical improvements include a) the LRDP, b) urban design philosophy for the entire campus known as the Master Plan Study, and c) a series of analyses that provide guidance for the development of specific regions of the campus known as neighborhood planning studies. The Physical Development Framework is a synthesis of this compendium of plans which enable effective stewardship of UC San Diego's physical environs and implementation of individual capital projects. Appendices 1-4 provide the complete set of campus planning documents which this Framework incorporates by reference. - The LRDP (Appendix 1) is the official, general land use plan adopted by the Regents in 2004, and evaluated in a program level Environmental Impact Report, that guides the physical development of the campus. The LRDP identifies key academic and student life goals, development objectives, campus land uses, and amounts of new building space needed to support program expansion through the planning horizon year of 2020- 21. Further, the LRDP includes key planning parameters: e.g., enrollment targets, faculty and staff population statistics, square footage objectives, housing and parking data, etc.1 - The 1989 Master Plan Study (Appendix 2) is an advisory document which provides an urban design philosophy and concepts that have been incorporated into the LRDP in the form of five guiding planning principles: - The Park: preserve and enhance the natural setting, including the Eucalyptus groves, canyons, and chaparral covered areas, which provides the c
