Title

Long Marine Laboratory Coastal Long Range Development Plan

Description

The proposed project includes approval of amendments and revision to the CLRDP since the September 2004 Regental approval. Concerns addressed by the proposed revision and amendments include: concerns over some aspect of the development plan, in particular that the 80 units of envisioned employee housing were not appropriate elements of the plan because they were not sufficiently coastal-dependent or coastal-related; the adequacy of wetland delineations and buffers to protect wetlands on the site; the adequacy of the width of wildlife buffer corridors; the level of protection for Younger Lagoon Reserve from visual and noise intrusions related to development; provisions for public access and enjoyment of the site; emergency access and egress for the site; storm water runoff quality; and impingement on and entrainment of ocean life in association with the seawater intake. Proposed revisions also include revisions to allowable uses in the Middle Terrace Development Zone and allow for an increase in impervious surface cover in the reduced development area on the Upper Terrace, to provide adequate space for the envisioned program development. The revised plan allows for the development of 322,825 gsf of building space and 604 new parking spaces.
