5. Motion to continue to support the Master Plan Amendment with the attached changes, updates and additions. LMU seeks to amend their Master Plan that would allow for the relocation of their already approved square footage among three use categories on campus: Academic/Administrative, Residential and Athletic indoors. This would allow LMU to keep Gersten Pavilion in use for training practices, recovery stations, coaches offices and other ancillary athletic uses after construction of the new Arena. The revised amendment reduces the amount of approved square footage LMU could transfer from one category to another. At the February 2, 2021 the Board approved the Amendment with Conditions. LMU recently sent the Neighborhood Council their submission to the city that included many of the conditions set forth by the Neighborhood Council.
