  • 6 Historic Resources
    6 historic resources 6.5 Policies and Implementing Actions The Sciaroni Winery and Distillery dates from the 1880s. A range of policies and implementing actions are outlined below and organized into the following topic areas: 1. Protected Historic Resources; and 2. Historic Resources Awareness The policies mandate, encourage or allow certain actions to be pursued throughout the duration of the General Plan. Together, they serve as strategic directions for City staff and partners, highlighting where time and resources should be focused. ST. HELENA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2035, APRIL 2016 | 6-13 6 historic resources topic area 1 PROTECTED HISTORIC RESOURCES Policies HR1.1 Preserve the City’s historic and cultural resources, so that they may contrib- ute to the special character and quality of the City and support its economic base. HR1.2 Protect the historic resources that exist in the downtown commercial area. HR1.3 Encourage the adaptive reuse, rehabilitation and retrofit of historic buildings in which the original use is no longer feasible. HR1.4 Promote the application of sustainable building practices to the preser- vation of historic resources. HR1.5 If historic resources are suspected by the City of being present on a pro- sposed development site the City shall conduct a records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System to determine if a project has the potential to affect an archaeologi- cal site and if additional project-specific study for cultural resources is recommended. The City may require additional cultural resources study if rec- ommended by the NWIC, with the study address- ing project-specific impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources.

Leidy, Environmental Protection Agency, San Francisco, CA Gordon S. Becker, Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration, Oakland, CA Brett N. Harvey, John Muir Institute of the Environment, University of California, Davis, CA This report should be cited as: Leidy, R.A., G.S. Becker, B.N. Harvey. 2005. Historical distribution and current status of steelhead/rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in streams of the San Francisco Estuary, California. Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration, Oakland, CA. Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration SONOMA COUNTY Petaluma River Watershed The Petaluma River watershed lies within portions of Marin and Sonoma Counties. The river flows in a northwesterly to southeasterly direction into San Pablo Bay. Petaluma River In a 1962 report, Skinner indicated that the Petaluma River was an historical migration route and habitat for steelhead (Skinner 1962). At that time, the creek was said to be “lightly used” as steelhead habitat (Skinner 1962). In July 1968, DFG surveyed portions of the Petaluma River accessible by automobile from the upstream limit of tidal influence to the headwaters. No O. mykiss were observed (Thomson and Michaels 1968d). Leidy electrofished upstream from the Corona Road crossing in July 1993. No salmonids were found (Leidy 2002). San Antonio Creek San Antonio Creek is a tributary of Petaluma River and drains an area of approximately 12 square miles. The channel is the border between Sonoma and Marin Counties. In a 1962 report, Skinner indicated that San Antonio Creek was an historical migration route for steelhead (Skinner 1962).

  • Putah Creek Corridor Connecting the Pieces
    Putah Creek Corridor Connecting the Pieces Putah Creek Corridor Connecting the Pieces Accepted and Approved by A Senior Project Presented to the Faculty of the Landscape Architecture Program University of California, Davis Steve Greco, Faculty Committee Member in Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Bachelors of Science in Landscape Architecture Tara Hanlon, Committee Member Rich Marovich, Committee Member Presented by: Claire Napawan, Senior Project Faculty Advisor Kathryn Salfen at University of California, Davis on the Tenth Day of June, 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my senior project committee members for their tremendous help. They all provided me with their knowledge, time and encouragement. THANK YOU! Claire Napawan Steve Greco Rich Marovich Tara Hanlon In addition to my senior project committee members, I would like to thank my parents for all their help not only during this project but for helping through everything! i Abstract This project focuses on Putah Creek as it runs from Lake Berryessa to the Yolo Wildlife Area. It examines the corridor as both a wildlife corridor and as a local trail corridor. With many existing patches of wildlife reserves located along Putah creek, the restoration of riparian forest along the channel will provide full connectivity and functionality to the corridor. On the social scale Putah Creek runs between Winters and Davis. Connecting the existing trails of the UC Davis Riparian Reserve and Winters Putah Creek Nature Park will establish a local trail corridor. This project also examines the need of the design of the trails at Win- ter’s Putah Creek Nature Park to Preserve linear corridors and creating multi-use trails that can allow wildlife movement across the landscape.
