Slimmed-down DISC proposal likely headed back to ballot
Shares
The developers behind the Davis Innovation & Sustainability Campus, which voters turned down under a Measure J/R vote last fall, are back with a slimmed-down proposal they hope to place on the June 2022 ballot.
Dubbed “DISC 2022,” the new project would feature 63 percent less office, research and development, and laboratory space and 460 residential units instead of the 850 contained in the original DISC plan. Total acreage of the new proposal is about half of the original plan, with only the southern portion of the plot east of Mace Boulevard and north of I-80 proposed for development.

Back in late January and early February, as the world increasingly focused attention on a novel coronavirus impacting primarily China but cropping up elsewhere around the globe, life continued more or less as normal in Davis.
Students were attending classes and going about their lives at UC Davis; parents were dropping their children off at schools around town and heading off to work; sports fields and bars and restaurants were bustling with activity and candidates for public office were preparing for an early primary in March.
