Why is Berkeley Lab preparing a Long Range Development Plan (LRDP)?
University of California campuses, and Berkeley Lab, are required to maintain and periodically update their Long Range Development Plans (LRDP). In support of the Lab’s scientific and technological mission, the LRDP is a planning document designed to establish a general direction for land use, growth, and other physical development over several years.Concurrent with the LRDP, Berkeley Lab is preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which is required for physical planning efforts, to fully analyze possible changes and their potential impacts.
