Point Sur SHP General Plan/FEIR Point Sur State Historic Park ▪ General Plan POINT SUR STATE HISTORIC PARK GENERAL PLAN/FINAL EIR State Clearing House #2003011056 Approved by the State Park and Recreation Commission on September 17, 2004 Amended on March 2, 2011 Point Sur State Historic Park ▪ General Plan This document represents the Final General Plan and Environmental Impact Report approved by the State Park and Recreation Commission on September 17, 2004. Also included are changes that were made through the GP Amendment process in March 2011. General Plan Amendment The Point Sur State Historic Park (PSSHP) General Plan was adopted by the State Park and Recreation Commission (SPRC) in September 2004. Following that action, the Department of Parks and Recreation (CSP) found that the rehabilitation of the housing on the site was not feasible due to the costs associated with extensive mold contamination. In addition, a CEQA lawsuit was filed against CSP, alleging impacts with hydrologic and biologic resource issues, and visual impacts in a critical viewshed. The proposed removal of the housing has resolved the issues associated with the CEQA litigation. An Amendment to the General Plan was approved by the SPRC in March 2011 that removes the references to the use of the existing housing units at Pt. Sur SHP. The amended text changes are incorporated into this Final General Plan document, and shown in red as underlined text for additions or strikethrough text for deleted items.

    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

The roads include State Route 180 from Fresno to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon Park (the Kings Canyon Highway), State Route 198 from Visalia to Sequoia Park ending near Grant Grove (the Generals Highway) and the Mineral King road (county route 375) from State Route 198 near Three Rivers to Mineral King. These roads provide a good overview of this part of the Sierra Nevada which lies in the middle of a 250 km span over which no roads completely cross the range. The Kings Canyon highway penetrates about three-quarters of the distance across the range and the State Route 198~Mineral King road traverses about one-half the distance (Figs.

  • PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: a BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010
    PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: A BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010 The Significance of the Point Sur Naval Facility. According to the dictionary, significance is “the quality of being important.” In the field of historic preservation the word has a special meaning. Assessing significance involves determining the importance of a historic resource, whether a building, site, or something else, within the broad sweep of history. To do this, the resource must be placed into a historic context. A historic context is a backdrop within which a historic resource can be viewed. One cannot look at a building in a vacuum, it must be looked at in the broader context within which it exists. From this historic context, the relative importance of a resource can be determined. Point Sur’s Role in the Winning of the Cold War. During the Cold War as the Soviet Union rapidly built-up its submarine force, U.S. antisubmarine warfare took on a growing significance. One critical American development was pioneering detection of low frequency submarine sound propagation in the sea. This led to development of the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), which were employed at Naval Facilities (NAVFACs) across the globe. SOSUS greatly assisted the U.S. in maintaining its dominance in anti-submarine warfare, and was critical to American efforts to win the Cold War. Established in 1957, the Pt. Sur NAVFAC is one of the few remaining complete Naval Facilities, and the only one remaining on the west coast. While other Naval Facilities were parts of larger military complexes, Pt. Sur was established as a stand-alone, self-sufficient base.

  • See PDF History
    History According to California Indian traditional beliefs, their ancestors were created here and have lived here forever. Most anthropologists believe California Indians descended from people who crossed from Asia into North America over a land bridge that joined the two continents late in the Pleistocene Epoch. It is thought that Native Americans lived here for 15 millenia before the first European explorer sailed California's coast in the 1500s. European explorers came to California initially in a search for what British explorers called the Northwest Passage and what the Spaniards called the Strait of Anián. In any event, it was an attempt to find a shortcut between Asia's riches -- silk, spices, jewels -- and Europe that drove the discovery voyages. The now famous voyage of Columbus in 1492 was an attempt to find this mythical shortcut. Forty-seven years after Columbus's voyage, Francisco de Ulloa led an expedition from Acapulco that sought a non-existent passage from the Gulf of California through to the Pacific Ocean. California was thought to be an island, in large part probably due to a Spanish novel called Las Sergas de Esplandián (The Exploits of Esplandián) written by Garcí Rodríguez Ordóñez de Montalvo. The "island" of California is depicted in this map. Montalvo's mythical island of California was populated by a tribe of J. Speed. "The Island of California: California as black women who lived like Amazons. Early explorers apparently an Island Map," from America (Map of America named the Baja California peninsula after the mythical island, and in made in London in 1626 or 1676).

Debido a una serie de causas que se explican en detalle, el español de California del XIX quedó sometido a un estado de pre-diglosia, que se ha manifestado hasta el tiempo presente en la forma de una diglosia completa. Además, y considerando el español de California en el XIX desde la perspectiva de la sociolingüística histórica, se examinan cuestiones de legislación, raza y etnicidad y, más importante, de propiedad de la tierra para entender su efecto en el desarrollo del español de California. De todo lo anterior podemos concluir que el español de California fue un dialecto histórico del español de los Estados Unidos y que, hasta el día de hoy, mantiene vínculos con sus dialectos descendientes, como pueda ser el LASV. ii The dissertation of María Covadonga Lamar Prieto is approved Carlos Quícoli Teo F.
