(2) An explanation of how each project contributes toaccommodating needs associated with current or projected enrollmentsof graduate and undergraduate students, and other needs, and therough estimates of the costs of meeting those needs. (3) The estimated costs of each project, showing the schedule forwhen these funds will be needed, including a schedule of annualfunding needs beyond the five years for those projects for whichcompletion exceeds the timeframe of the plan and the relativepriority on a campus and statewide basis. (4) An explanation of how the plan addresses the Legislature'sintent that the universities annually consider, as part of theirannual capital outlay planning process, the inclusion of facilitiesthat may be used by more than one segment of public higher education(intersegmental). (5) Description and costs of activities that take place within theplan's timeframe related to the planning or establishment of newcampuses.

The Legislature recognizesthat the annual plan is a flexible, working document subject to theevolutionary change inherent in the planning process. The plan shallbe designed to reflect project data changes on a year-to-year basis,and the inclusion of a project in the plan does not guarantee itsviability. It is further the intent of the Legislature that theproject planning guides or capital outlay budget change proposalssubmitted for each state-funded project proposed for inclusion in thefirst year of the plan specify both of the following: (1) How each project meets needs for different types of space,including, but not limited to, classrooms, teaching laboratories,research laboratories, and faculty offices. (2) The direct and indirect project costs associated with thedifferent types of space.67502.  (a) On or before November 1 of each year, the Regents of theUniversity of California are requested to provide to the JointLegislative Budget Committee and the Department of Finance a summaryof all instructional and research space in the university system. Thesummary shall consist of campus-by-campus data indicating existingspace available to each department of instruction and research,including a seven-year projection of space needs for departments ofinstruction and research. The data shall include, but not be limitedto, classrooms, upper and lower division class laboratories, teachingassistant offices, and faculty offices. The summary shall correlateassignable square foot capacities to full-time equivalent studentenrollments and faculty positions for both existing space andprojected space needs. (b) On or before November 1 of each year, the California StateUniversity shall provide to the Joint Legislative Budget Committeeand the Department of Finance a summary of all instructional andfaculty office space in the university system.

(a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that based onacademic goals and projected enrollment levels, each University ofCalifornia campus and medical center periodically develops a LongRange Development Plan (LRDP) that guides its physical development,including land use designations, the location of buildings, andinfrastructure systems, for an established time horizon. (2) In order to ensure greater legislative oversight over theprocess used by the University of California to prepare and implementeach plan, including the accompanying Environmental Impact Report(EIR), at the time draft LRDPs and draft LRDP EIRs are submitted forpublic review, the university is requested to provide the Legislaturewith summaries of the draft LRDPs and LRDP EIRs to the JointLegislative Budget Committee. The summaries shall also be availableon the university Internet Web site. (b) (1) The Legislature further finds and declares that theexpansion of campus enrollment and facilities may negatively affectthe surrounding environment.

(c) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that each CaliforniaState University campus periodically develops a physical master planto guide the future development of their facilities, based onacademic goals and projected student enrollment levels, for anestablished time horizon. (2) In order to ensure greater legislative oversight over theprocess used by the California State University to prepare andimplement each plan, including the accompanying Environmental ImpactReport (EIR), at the time a draft physical master plan and theaccompanying draft EIR are submitted for public review, theuniversity shall provide summaries of these documents to the JointLegislative Budget Committee.
