COASTAL CONSERVANCY Staff Recommendation January 17, 2007 MORI POINT COASTAL TRAIL File No. 03-115-02 Project Manager: Janet COASTAL CONSERVANCY Staff Recommendation January 17, 2007 MORI POINT COASTAL TRAIL File No. 03-115-02 Project Manager: Janet Diehl RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorization to disburse up to $500,000 to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy to build segments of the California Coastal Trail and connecting trails, and to restore habitat on the National Park Service’s 110-acre property at Mori Point in Pacifica. LOCATION: Mori Point in the City of Pacifica, San Mateo County (Exhibit 1) PROGRAM CATEGORY: Public Access EXHIBITS Exhibit 1: Regional map and aerial photo Exhibit 2: Site maps Exhibit 3: Site photographs Exhibit 4: Environmental Assessment and FONSI Exhibit 5: Letters of Support RESOLUTION AND FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the State Coastal Conservancy adopt the following resolution pursuant to Sections 31400 et seq. of the Public Resources Code: “The State Coastal Conservancy hereby authorizes the disbursement of an amount not to exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) for the construction of the California Coastal Trail and connecting trails and for habi- tat restoration on the National Park Service’s Mori Point property in Pacifica, San Mateo County and further adopts the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) adopted by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on October 3, 2006 under the National Environmental Policy Act, and attached to the accompanying as Exhibit 4 to this staff recommendation and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, attached to the accompanying staff recommendation as Ex- hibit 4. This authorization is subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the disbursement of any Conservancy funds, GGNPC shall submit for the review and written approval of the Executive Officer of the Conservancy: MORI POINT COASTAL TRAIL a. Evidence that GGNPC has obtained all necessary permits and approvals, and all other funds necessary to complete the project. b. A work program, budget, schedule, and names of any contractors or subcontractors to be employed to carry out the work program. c. A signing plan for the project acknowledging Conservancy participation, and the site’s function as a segment of the California Coastal Trail. 2. The project shall be consistent with the Conservancy’s ‘Standards and Recommendations for Accessway Location and Development.’ 3. In carrying out the project, GGNPC shall comply with all applicable mitigation and monitor- ing measures of the project that are included in the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) adopted by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on October 3, 2006 under the National Environmental Policy Act and attached as Exhibit 4 to this staff recommendation, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan accompanying the FONSI, and with all mitigation, monitoring and other measures that are required by any permit or approval for this project.” Staff further recommends that the Conservancy adopt the following findings: “Based on the accompanying staff report and attached exhibits, the State Coastal Conservancy hereby finds that: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the Project Selection Criteria and Guidelines, last updated by the Conservancy on September 20, 2007. 2. The proposed project is consistent with the purposes and objectives of Chapter 9 of Division 21 of the Public Resources Code, regarding public access to the coast. 3. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is a nonprofit organization existing under Sec- tion 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, whose purposes are consistent with Divi- sion 21 of the Public Resources Code. 4. The Conservancy has independently reviewed and considered the Finding of No Significant Impact and Mitigation and Monitoring Program adopted by the Golden Gate National Rec- reation Area under the National Environmental Policy Act and attached to the accompanying staff recommendation as Exhibit 4, and finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project as mitigated will have a significant effect on the environment, as defined in 14 Cali- fornia Code of Regulations Sections 15074 and 15382. 5. The proposed project serves greater than local needs.” PROJECT SUMMARY With this proposed $500,000 grant, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) will complete its construction of four miles of Coastal Trail and connector trails at the newest Na- tional Park unit at Mori Point in Pacifica. A parallel goal of the project is to preserve and restore habitat for the country’s most endangered snake – the San Francisco garter snake – and for the threatened California red-legged frog. 2 MORI POINT COASTAL TRAIL The first stage of the project, recently completed, focused on wetlands re-creation and the con- struction of a hiker-only segment of the Coastal Trail, a steep set of stairs up the coastal bluff. The second stage will focus on trails – creating a wheelchair-accessible portion of the Coastal Trail, as well as several multi-use connector trails across this spectacular 110-acre property (Ex- hibits 2 and 3). The presence of endangered species on the site required the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA, the “Mori Point Restoration and Trail Plan,” was completed in 2006 with the support of a Conservancy planning grant. GGNPC raised three-quarters of a million dollars to begin implementing the plan last year, but needs further Conservancy assistance to continue the work. GGNPC has broken the initial priority actions into two stages: Stage 1 – Spring/Summer 2007 (completed) • Expand one pond (frog breeding habitat) and construct two new ponds • Construct hiker-only Coastal Trail segment • Re-vegetate construction sites with native plants • Remove invasive plants • Launch community engagement/public information program Cost: $647,500 Stage 2 – Spring/Summer 2008 (proposed) • Construct/improve trail system closest to sensitive habitat, including: o Boardwalk and Mori Road (will be accessible for disabled park visitors) o Multi-Use Coastal Trail, Coastal Trail Connector and Bowl Connector o Bowl Trail • Remove “social trails” from prime habitat areas • Re-vegetate construction areas with native plants • Remove invasive plants • Continue community engagement/public information program Cost: $1,903,000 When Stage 2 of the project is completed, visitors of all abilities will be able to enter the prop- erty from Mori Road and travel down the trail to where it joins the sea wall just north of Mori Point, which serves as the Coastal Trail (Exhibit 2). Visitors will then be able to ascend gradu- ally along the Coastal Trail “Bowl Connector” toward the south, largely along an existing road that will be narrowed to a trail. This trail section, along with the rest of the Coastal Trail to the south, will meet proposed U.S. Access Board Outdoor Recreation and Trails Accessibility Guidelines. The Bowl Connector will switch back to the west via an improved existing trail, where it will intersect with the Bluff Trail, the Peak Trail and the Point Trail. The Coastal Trail will continue southeast along an improved existing trail through a stand of intact coastal scrub just north of Mori Peak. Upon reaching Mori Ridge, the Coastal Trail will descend southward, where it will meet private land. 3 MORI POINT COASTAL TRAIL Measures to avoid construction-related impacts to animals, including the California red-legged frog and the San Francisco garter snake, have been incorporated into the project (see “Compli- ance with CEQA” section, below). A section of the new wheelchair-accessible trail, for exam- ple, will be elevated as a boardwalk to allow the frogs and snakes to pass underneath. The pro- ject includes a biological monitoring component to ensure that the restoration activities produce functional habitat, and that the closed trails remain unused. A qualified biologist/herpetologist along with an aquatic biologist and hydrologist will review habitat and wildlife status throughout the project. Work on the project is being done by a diverse group of people, ranging from garter snake ex- perts permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to a broad body of volunteers. GGNPC holds educational and restoration programs at Mori Point once a month, in order to build public awareness about the project and the endangered species that live there. Interpretive hikes are led by GGNPC staff and its Trail Keeper Volunteer Program members, who are trained to walk the trails and engage people they see on the property. Volunteers also help with much-needed habitat restoration work in the park. In 2006 alone, 647 volunteers contributed 6,544 hours of work, including invasive plant removal, at Mori Point. GGNPC also operates a small native plant nursery at Oceana High School, which engages local youth and grows thousands of native plans for Mori Point restoration. GGNPC has been active in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area system for over 20 years and its volunteers have been instrumental in the construction of trails and the completion of envi- ronmental restoration projects throughout the park system. The project at Mori Point is part of GGNPC’s larger Trails Forever initiative. The primary goal of Trails Forever, a new park-wide project undertaken in partnership with the National Park Service and the Presidio Trust, is to enhance the public’s enjoyment and access to the California Coastal Trail, and regional connect- ing trails such as the Bay and Ridge Trails, through improvements to these trails. ____________________________________________________________________ Site Description: Mori Point is a landmark on the Pacifica coastline, jutting several hundred feet into the ocean and visible from nearly every high point in the City of Pacifica (Exhibit 1). From its ridge-top, hikers can see the Pedro Point Headlands to the south and, on clear days, the Marin Headlands and Point Reyes to the north. The northern boundary of the property consists of a steep ridge that rises up from the Laguna Salada Marsh and Sharp Park Municipal Golf Course, both owned by the City of San Francisco.

Statement of Significance (continued): The following Statement of Significance establishes the common historic context for California Historical Landmarks associated with the October-November 1769 expedition of Gaspar de Portolá through what is now San Mateo County, as part of a larger expedition through the southern San Francisco Bay region, encountering different Ohlone communities, known as the Ohlone-Portolá Heritage Trail. This context establishes the significance of these landmark sites as California Historical Landmarks for their association with an individual having a profound influence on the history of California, Gaspar de Portolá, and a group having a profound influence on the history of California, the Ohlone people, both associated with the Portolá Expedition Camp at Expedition. This context amends seven California Historical Landmarks, and creates two new California Historical Landmark nominations. The Statement of Significance applies to the following California Historical Landmarks, updating their names and historic contexts. Each meets the requirements of California PRC 5024.1(2) regarding review of state historical landmarks preceding #770, and the criteria necessary for listing as California Historical Landmarks.

  • Come and Enjoy Pacifica's Parklands—This Land Is Your Land!
    Preserving & Protecting the Open Spaces of Pacifica and Surrounding Areas. Land News Fall 2010 Vol. 8, No. 2 Come and enjoy Pacifica’s parklands—This Land is Your Land! Samuel Casillas, President 2010 continued to be an exciting time for the Pacifica Land Trust. The transition of Mori Point to the GGNRA is a lasting bright spot showing how different agencies, organizations and individuals can come together to offer us and the coming generations the timeless beauty of the Pacific Ocean with the backdrop of open green hills. There are now boardwalks traversing the ponds and wetlands, leaving the endangered San Francisco Garter Snakes and Red Legged Frogs in undisturbed habitat. The Park Service has removed acres of invasive species, giving us a model for other open space in Pacifica. They have also recently added wooden benches atop Mori Point to allow tired hikers to sit, relax and enjoy the most stunning sunsets in Northern California. Mori Point has set the bar high for our current restoration project in the Pedro Point Headlands. Throughout 2010 over 25 volunteers a month have aided the healing process in a unique ecosystem that stretches south of Linda Mar Beach to Devil’s Slide. The hardy volunteers have toiled in mud, heat and poison oak to remove French Broom, Pampas Grass and other invasive species. They have planted hundreds of native plants CONTENTS including Coyote Bush, iris, California sage, seaside daisy, lizard tail, coyote mint, yarrow and purple needle grass. There has also been significant trail restoration to mitigate -Headlands Work erosion that was precipitated by years of human impact.

  • 3 Public Access and Recreation
    3 PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION Open space is a defining feature of the Pacifica Coastal Zone, an extraordinary resource, and a priority for the community. Parks, schools, and public utility services are a vital part of a livable and sustainable Pacifica. The purpose of this chapter is to document existing public open space and community facilities and infrastructure, identify priority improvements, and ensure that they meet the needs of community members. The close relationship between open space, parks, recreation, and schools is highlighted. An important part of coastal planning under the Coastal Act is identifying and protecting public access to the shoreline. With this in mind, this chapter provides policies for coastal access, and describes improvements that are proposed to be undertaken during the planning period to enhance recreational use of the coastline. 3.1 COASTAL ACT FRAMEWORK Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states that “maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse.” The Coastal Act establishes specific requirements for public access to and along the coast, and identifies recreational use of coastal land as a high priority. Policies especially relevant to this chapter are below; refer to Appendix B for the full text of each Coastal Act policy. Coastal Act Policies Article 2: Public Access • Section 30210
