Wicks iv Last saved on 3/11/2008 FOREWORD The Unincorporated Area, with its diverse neighborhoods and interests, is a Supervisor Nate Miley dynamic region with tremendous potential to realize the needs and dreams of Alameda County all its residents. I am committed to working towards this vision and welcome Board of Supervisors, wide participation. A successful strategic vision for the Eden Area is dependent District 4 on the engagement of a broad group of stakeholders. As many who are reading this know, the urban unincorporated area of Alameda County is one of the largest jurisdictions in the County. The combined population of the communities of Ashland, Castro Valley, Cherryland, Fairview, Hillcrest Knolls, and San Lorenzo is approximately 140,000. If these communities were a city, it would be the fourth largest in Alameda County behind only Oakland, Fremont, and Hayward. The vast majority of this area is in Alameda County District 4, which I have had the honor of representing as your County Supervisor since 2001. From the beginning of my first term it has been clear to me that residents are proud of the unique characteristics and histories of the individual unincorporated communities and want to retain their individual community identities. At the same time, the small and under‐resourced nature of most of these communities creates some disadvantages compared to neighboring cities when competing for economic and community development, creating and implementing desirable land‐use policy, and in other ways that determine “optimum livability.” The area’s identity is obscured, in part, because it is defined by what it is not: a municipality. Equally important the area’s identity and cohesiveness is that it is served by many jurisdictions. Some of these include a number of County agencies, several school districts, two transportation agencies, a hospital district, several fire departments, and sanitary districts as well as a parks and recreation district. While each of these public agencies is no doubt committed to the betterment of its constituents, each agency’s vision will always be too narrow to take in the broad needs and desires of all residents. In addition, while some residents are actively engaged in a broad range of issues impacting individual communities, broader community participation is ideal and necessary to reach meaningful consensus for a community‐wide vision. Like many jurisdictions, Unincorporated Alameda County lacks coordination among the public and quasi‐public agencies that serve this area. As a result, services may be duplicative or suffer from gaps. Also, residents may have to take their concerns to numerous bodies. Additionally, a lack of coordination can result in missed opportunities to partner and leverage funds in an already underserved area. Equally important is our desire to fully engage community residents and other stakeholders in the overall planning process. Community members should have an opportunity to engage in this process at multiple levels, from more long‐term positions of leadership to sharing their views at a single event. The end results of this process should be list of identified catalyst projects that best support the community’s identified needs, sense of itself and promotes a greater range of community representation and involvement. Our desire to develop a more cohesive community‐driven vision of a livable community as well as to identify and develop the leaders of this community to continue to advocate for community needs well beyond the project duration. I send my appreciation to all the support my office has received while developing this document. L. Wicks Sincerely, v Last saved on 3/11/2008 INTRODUCTION The Eden Area Livability Initiative is an integrated partnership between the community, the county and the non-county public sector jurisdictions that have a stake in the unincorporated urban areas of Alameda County. The Livability Initiative is the strategic development of a shared vision and plan and builds pride for the unincorporated urban areas of Alameda County. Mission: To create, strengthen and sustain a livable community in the urban unincorporated areas of Alameda County. Goals: → To encourage planning and action across disciplines and interest areas → To engage the community in a significant way → To call for County Agencies to collaborate in new ways → To build stronger partnerships between the County, other jurisdictions and the community. Objectives → To increase community participation in decisions that affect the community → To find a shared community vision → To ensure coordination and implementation of this vision and plan between the County government and the community → To strengthen relationships between government and the community → To ensure appropriate policy formation and implementation → To make the unincorporated communities of Alameda County a great place to live, work, and play! BACKGROUND Alameda County launched the Eden Area Livability Initiative (EALI) in December of 2004, spearheaded by Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, with the goal of improving the livability of the community of the western part of the unincorporated areas of Alameda County (referred to hereafter as the “Eden Area”). The western part of unincorporated Alameda County is comprised of several community-identified communities, such as Ashland, Cherryland, Castro Valley, Fairview, and San Lorenzo, along with several community-identified neighborhoods within the larger communities such as Fairmont Terrace, El Portal Ridge, Hillcrest Knolls, San Lorenzo Village, Five Canyons, and others. These communities are located within very close proximity to each other, share borders and contain approximately 130, 000 residents. EALI developed from the formulation of the Livability Principles, based on the Ahwahnee Principles, which identify regional and local beliefs that will be used to guide the development of an integrated approach for future planning, development, land use and all aspects of service delivery (including education, infrastructure, fire, recreation, public health, public safety, and public works) decisions within the Eden Area. It is anticipated that these Livability Principles and later developed “Livability Elements” will serve to encourage integration throughout the departments of Alameda County governed by the Board of Supervisors, and as a basis to improve cross-jurisdictional coordination among the various agencies serving the residents of the unincorporated area, but not governed by the Board of Supervisors. Throughout the life of the Initiative, community members have played a vital role in the development and the direction of the process. Several community

  • Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    LSA ASSOCIATES, INC EBRPD WILDFIRE HAZARD REDUCTION AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN EIR JULY 2009 IV. SETTING, IMPACTS, AND MITIGATION E. CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES E. CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section provides an overview of the potential presence of cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area of the East Bay Regional Parks District’s (EBRPD’s) Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan (Plan) the proposed project. Also included is a discussion of potential impacts to such resources as a result of project implementation, as well as mitigation recommendations, as warranted. LSA Associates, Inc., provided EBRPD with a more detailed report concerning cultural and paleontological resources that is available for review at EBRPD’s Administrative Headquarters 2950 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland CA. The lands managed by EBRPD are home to a wide range of cultural and paleontological resources. These resources contribute to the diverse historical and geological background of the San Francisco Bay Area, and are unique, nonrenewable community assets. Such resources on EBRPD lands include, but are not limited to, prehistoric and historical archaeological sites, historical buildings and structures, areas of traditional or religious value to contemporary communities, and fossiliferous geological deposits. 1. Setting This subsection describes the existing conditions for cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area. The subsection begins with a description of the methods used to obtain background information, followed by an overview of the Study Area’s prehistory, ethnography, history, and paleontology/geology. A summary of recorded cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area follows. Finally, the legislative context for cultural and paleontological resources is presented.

  • American Era in the Mid-19Th Century, Most of the Rancho and Pueblo
    American Era In the mid-19th century, most of the rancho and pueblo lands in California were subdivided as the result of population growth and the American takeover. The initial explosion in population was associated with the Gold Rush (1848), followed later by the construction of the transcontinental railroad (1869). The growth of the general project area was dependent on transportation-first by I water and roads and later, by rail and then by air. I The modern City of Hayward had its origins in the 1850s, during the Gold Rush, when squatters and settlers began to appear in the area. The City lay within the boundaries of Rancho San Lorenzo, a 17,000-acre estate granted in 1821 to the Mexican colonist Guillermo Castro. William Hayward occupied a tent in 1851 in Palomares Canyon. In 1854, Castro had a map surveyed for a town covering 28 blocks in the vicinity of his adobe and began selling land to settlers. 4.5.2.3 Paleontological Resources As noted above, paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of organisms from prehistoric environments ground in geologic strata. Most of the city of Hayward is located on Quaternary sedimentary deposits which are from the most recent geologic periods (i.e., Holocene, Pleistocene) dating back to 1.6 million years ago. Some of eastern Hayward is located on Mesozoic sedimentary rocks from the Mesozoic period dating back to 245 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Both types of geologic rocks may contain fossils of flora and fauna, particularly marine species. According to the General Plan Background Report, five paleontological resources have previously been discovered in the City of Hayward, including four mammalian fossils (e.g., bison, prehistoric horse) and one gastropod fossil (i.e., marine snail) from the Quaternary period.

    City of Hayward Downtown Specific Plan Task Force Meeting #1 Summary Notes December 12, 2016 6:00pm – 8:00pm Hayward City Hall, 777 B St, Hayward, CA 94541 Conference Room 2A I. Presentation Summary On December 12, 2016, the City of Hayward and lead consultant Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. (LWC) held the first Task Force meeting for the Downtown Hayward Specific Plan (Project). LWC presented an overview of the project with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation on the makeup of the consultant team, task force purpose and role, outreach program, meetings to date, and schedule and next steps. Following the presentation, LWC posed four questions to the Task Force and other meeting attendees on Downtown Hayward: 1) Key Issues, 2) Strengths, 3) Greatest Opportunities for Improvement, and 4) How Can the Specific Plan Help. Findings from the discussion are summarized below. II. Key Takeaways Community outreach efforts should consider broader audiences, and reach out to local high schools, senior centers, neighborhoods outside of the Downtown, and large employers – including advanced manufacturing and biotech companies that have recently located to Hayward. Homelessness has and will continue to be a major issue impacting the perception of safety Downtown. Pedestrian and bicycle safety should be a priority of the planning effort. Despite the close community and attractive amenities, Downtown lacks a sense of place and identity. Vacancies are a problem in Downtown, largely because of absentee landlords who have little or no connection or commitment to the community or incentive to improve their properties. There is a potential to build off of the “family friendly” environment and reputation of Downtown.
