Project Description: The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) proposes the development of a 255,000gross-square-foot (gsf) project (“the Project”) on the site of the existing Parking Structure 6 (to be demolished). The new Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference and Guest Center would include conference/meeting space and associated support facilities, guest rooms and amenities, service and support facilities, a loading dock, and one-level of subterranean parking. The Project would also include the relocation of the existing UCLA catering kitchen (approximately 10,000 gsf) and site improvements at the Westwood Plaza terminus. The proposed Project site is located in the center of the UCLA campus at the northwest corner of Westwood Plaza and Strathmore Drive in the Central Campus zone. In addition, development of the Project would require an amendment to the 2002 Long Range Development Plan, as amended (2009), to transfer square footage to the Central zone. The regional location and local vicinity of the proposed Project are shown on Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. A conceptual site plan for the proposed Project is provided in Exhibit 3. Additional information regarding the proposed Project and scope of the environmental analysis is presented in the tiered Initial Study presented in Attachment A.
