The 2018 General Use Permit updates the current GUP, adopted in 2000, which allowed construction of academic buildings and housing, governed by specific conditions to address areas of environmental and community concerns. The Community Plan and GUP have proven successful, providing predictability and flexibility for Stanford and accountability to the county and the community. The proposal for an updated General Use Permit for the next period of years – 2018 to 2035 -- will allow Stanford to provide more on-campus housing and to continue evolving its academic facilities to meet modern research and teaching needs. In doing so, Stanford will continue to follow a compact infill development strategy that preserves the existing campus footprint, protects natural resources and produces no net increase in automobile commute trips to the campus. The application submittal for an updated General Use Permit begins a review process with Santa Clara County that is expected to take approximately two years. This Forum will provide information to Stanford's neighbors about the components of the application and solicit feedback.
