  4. A further list of potential (out of driving distance) student housing project tours was discussed including University of Utah, University of Massachusetts, University of La Verne, CSU Northridge, San Diego State, University of Maryland. The possibility of virtual tours will also be looked into.
  5. CEQA documents are under contract and will take approximately 6-8 months to develop the master plan addendum necessary for approval.
  6. The Children’s School location and/or re-location needs to be incorporated into discussions and possible planning at this point. The CEQA document will also need to address this.
