CAL POLY MASTER PLAN ~ Volume II RESPONSE TO COMMENTS This section of the Final EIR (FEIR) presents the responses to public
comments made on the Cal Poly Master Plan and Draft EIR (DEIR). Each
letter commenting on the Plan and DEIR has been assigned a number, from 1
to 59. Within each letter, comments have been numbered in ascending order.
A unique number that consists of the number assigned to the comment
letter, followed by the comment number, identifies comments and responses.
For example, the comment and responses identified as 1-1 represents the
first comment in the first letter. Subsequent comment from that letter
would be identified as 1-2, 1-3, etc. The second comment letter would
commence with 2-1, 2-2, etc. The person making the comment is the
"commenter," and is identified before the response. Some comments do not
pertain to physical environmental issues, but responses are included to
provide additional information for use by decision-makers. Many of the
comments spoke directly to issues with the Master Plan. Responses to these
are included here. Also included in the FEIR are staff-initiated text
changes and errata.

Letter 1

Letter 2
Mayor Allen Settle
City of San Luis Obispo December 6, 2000
2-1 The Mayor suggests that while most of the City's comments from the
last draft were incorporated, a few remain. Further, many comments
from RQN were not addressed in the draft. Response See responses to letter number 58, Residents for Quality
Neighborhoods. The remaining City responses are set forth in responses to
letter number 3, below. 2-2 The mayor recommends that realistic and sincere implementation of the
plan is important. Response The comment is noted. Please refer to the revised text in
Chapter 7 on implementation of the Master Plan. Following adoption of the
Master Plan, Cal Poly will engage in a series of implementation studies
(specified in Chapter 7). As projects are planned and built, they will be
reviewed and monitored for compliance with the environmental analysis as
well as with meeting plan expectations to reinforce the academic quality of
the University. The Campus Planning Committee will review the Master Plan
annually so as to determine whether conditions have changed sufficiently to
warrant a major update. One of the responsibilities of the Campus Planning Committee (CPC) is to
monitor the implementation of the Master Plan. The CPC sees project
proposals as part of the five-year capital improvement program, submitted
annually to the California State University (CSU). When a specific
building or landscape project is being designed, the CPC assesses its
consistency with the Master Plan and sees the environmental assessment. If
the proposal differs from the Master Plan, the campus, with CPC approval,
may forward a request for amendment to the CSU Board of Trustees. As the
CSU is most concerned with enrollment capacity and physical construction,
the system requires campus review of enrollment levels and facilities
annually. The Campus Planning Committee will add responsibility for an annual review
of the assumptions underlying the master plan and its policies, so as to
identify when a major update may be required. This annual review will
include an update on compliance with the Master Plan mitigation monitoring
program. The Academic Senate has urged that the University assess the
impacts of enrollment growth on academic quality for each phase of Master
Plan implementation. This analysis should occur as part of Cal Poly's
assessment and accountability efforts, including academic program review. [pic]
