Public comment period for Berkeley Space Center project from April 24 to June 10, 2026.

Public Notice NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN of a joint environmental impact report/environmental impact statement (joint EIR/EIS) for the Berkeley Space Center at NASA Research Park. Moffett Partners, LLC (Project Proponent), a joint venture of The Regents of the University of California (UC Regents) and SKSP NRP, LLC, is proposing a master-planned mixed-use academic and research project, referred to as the Berkeley Space Center at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Park (proposed project). The Project Proponent will require authorization from the UC Regents to proceed with the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and NASA's approval to proceed with the proposed action following analysis consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NASA is the NEPA Lead Agency for the proposed action and, as the Authority Having Jurisdiction, NASA would issue building permits and monitor applicable mitigation measures related to development and operation of the proposed project. The UC Regents is the CEQA Lead Agency for the proposed project and would provide authorization before the proposed action is submitted for NASA's approval. UC Berkeley has released a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the draft joint EIR/EIS. UC Berkeley invites comments on the draft joint EIR/EIS. Project Location: The Limits of Work are located primarily on federal land within NASA's Ames Research Center (NASA ARC) adjacent to the cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale in Santa Clara County. The Project Site is bounded by Wescoat Road to the north and Cody Road to the east. The southern boundary of the Project Site is between Edquiba Road and Girard Road. The western boundary of the Project Site is within an empty lot immediately west of Bailey Road. The Project Site is a portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 116-18-012. Project Description: The proposed project would redevelop the project site with academic and research facilities, conference and amenity facilities, student/faculty housing, short-term lodging, transportation networks, and public open spaces as well as landscaped spaces, to create a state-of-the-art research and education hub that shapes the future of technology and innovation and to advance UC Regents' educational, scientific research, charitable, and other exempt purposes (within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code). Comment Period: The draft joint EIR/EIS will be circulated for a 45-day review period, from April 24, 2026, to June 10, 2026. Comment Submission: Written comments can be mailed to: Shraddha Navalli Patil, Senior Planner; Physical & Environmental Planning; University of California, Berkeley; 1995 University Avenue, Room 530, Berkeley, CA 94704. Comments can be emailed to: planning@berkeley.edu with subject line indicating Public Review Comments: Berkeley Space Center at NASA Research Park.
