The information in Stanford university General Use Permit Annual
Report No. 4 (1991-1992) shews that Stanford is still in
compliance with all of the conditicna established in the General
ase Pennit.
~y a minor amount of additional square footage (16,000) was
reported for the University in 1991-1992. This figure includes
a) the 51,000 net new square fee~ now under construction,
b) approval of a new 45.000-square-foot building for Economic
Policy Research. and c) abandonment of the previously approved
90.000-square-foot Advanced Materials Research building.
Buildings comprising a total of approximately 163,000 square feet
have been vacated due to earthquake damage. Temporary buildings
installed to acc~odate University programs while these
structures are re~aired total approxiw~tely 52.000 square feet.
Manzanita II, a 204-bed undergraduate dorm was completed in
September of 1992, replacing 41 housing trailers and adding 81
net new beds. Seismic repairs are underway for Cooksey House. a
historic structure damaged in the L~ma Prieta earthquake that
provided 43 beds.
The adjusted daytime population was 31,266~ up 921 from the 1990-
1991 levels. TOM participation decreased by 177 persons, from
2~048 to 1~871. Part of the drop is attributed to more rigorous
documentation of carpool participation. The daytime population
of the University is still lower chan the 1987 population base ot
31,914 that ~riggers mandatory TDM, and the TOM participation
counts are still higher than the 1987 base of 1.455.
Stanford has developed training programs for use of hazardous
materials and implemented their hazardous waste management plan.
Stanford also achieved a 30 percent recycling rate, exceeding its
199~-19S2 goal of 26 percent.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is the fowth Annual Report on the Stanford General Use Ptnni! which covers the f'seal and
3Cademic year starting September I. 1991 and etlding AiJgust 31. 1992. The key i.ssues co~red
in the repon 3R: as foll~:
Popul'atioD
The 1991·92 adjuQcd daytime population is 31.266. up 921 people (3%) from the 1990-91 total
at 3O,34S. This is the flt'St period in which t.~ UniversLty experienced posiu\le popuLu:ion growth
since 1987-88; however, our popuLuioo has no< yet returned to that 1987·88 level (31,340).

Squa... Footago
Only il minor.amount of additional square footage (16.()()(l) is reponed for 1991-92 This
includes 51.000 net new sq~ feef tmder construCtion as wen as. a decrease of 35.000 s.f. in the
"approved.--...cOOSG"lJCtion nOI sta:ned" caJegory. largely the moult of the abandonment of the AMR
project. The only bcilities occupied in 1991-92 were counted in pn:vious yel1'S' reports
Housing
M.a:twUli1a II undergradl.&aJe stUdem hOUSing. a 204 bed facility. was to be activated :md oct:upied
in September. 1992. It replaces 41 trailers. providing 81 net new beds. Cooksey House. an
hisrorically valuahlc ,~ which was damaged by the Loma Prieta eanIlquaJce. will be repair«!
and reoccupied. restoring 43 beds in the fall of 1994.
Transportatioa Demand Man.al1:em~nr
The counts forTDM panicipation show adeaease of In tidetS from 199()..91. A large po:..tion
of this decrease came in tre carpool caregory; me Transportation Programs Office has been
screening: carpool appiication"i much more closely than in previous years, requiring mort
substalltial proof of the vafldity of the carpool before gr.uu:ing the free: parlcing Jl'C'mUL
Hal.3rdous Materials
The Unl'ICmty ComrrutIee on Health and Safety met three times iI11~1-92 i.rx:luding ooe public

expanded to incJude hazardous wa.~tes .. ..andling.
Ezisline CondWons
The Muhi-jurisdicrioo group (MTAG) has been supplanted by [Wi) mechanisms: a formal woridng
relatiOlWrip between me Executive Director of the Stanford Campus Residential Leaseholders and
the University', designated liaison of!t(;CJ'. and an informal network. of orner MT AG pank:ipanlS
to iIddress probJems as they arise. These TWO mechanisms appear to be 3ddressing the needs weD.
