Meeting Set for North Campus Development Proposals

Cal State Northridge has scheduled a public meeting later this month on a plan to have developers build a 20-acre retail center on the university's North Campus property along Devonshire Street.

The University MarketCenter project by Hopkins Real Estate Group of Newport Beach and Cousins MarketCenters Inc. is a 225,000-square-foot complex of major retail stores, shops and restaurants.

CSUN will be seeking public comment on the scope of an environmental impact report on the project during the hearing. It will be held on campus at 7 p.m. Aug. 20 in the University Club, located near the corner of Nordhoff Street and Zelzah Avenue.

Sept. 3 is the deadline for receipt of written comments on issues to be addressed in the draft EIR. The center is proposed for a site south of Devonshire between Zelzah and Lindley avenues.
