INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE OF COMMUNITY PLAN The Foresthill Divide Community Plan (FDCP), in combination with the Placer County General Plan, is the official statement of Placer County setting forth goals, policies, assumptions, guidelines, standards and implementation measures that will guide the physical, social and economic development of the Foresthill Divide Community Plan area to approximately the year 2022. The Plan will provide overall direction for future growth in the Foresthill Divide. The Community Plan, in combination with the Placer County General Plan, satisfies the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law. The Plan is organized into the following elements and sections: Community Development Element Population and Housing Land Use Community Design Public Facilities Parks & Recreation Resource Management Element Natural Resources Cultural Resources Air Quality Transportation and Circulation Element The final chapter of this document, entitled Implementation, summarizes the implementation measures presented throughout the FDCP, and describes how the FDCP will be implemented through zoning and other methods. The FDCP also includes, as appendices, the Foresthill Community Survey conducted for the FDCP, development standards for the “Forest Ranch” Specific Plan area, and the Foresthill Community Design Guidelines prepared as part of the Plan. The FDCP provides an opportunity to comprehensively address issues facing the community and to responsibly and proactively plan for the next 20 years. The FDCP is being proposed as part of a 20-year review and revision of the current plan, and in conjunction with a community-wide “visioning” process. The Vision Statement developed by the Foresthill Divide Community Plan Team is presented at the end of this chapter. The FDCP includes the goals, policies, standards, implementation program, quantified objectives (for the Housing Element), the Land Use Diagram and the Circulation Plan Diagram, which together constitute Placer County’s formal policies for land use, development, and environmental 1-1 Foresthill Divide Community Plan quality. The following definitions describe the nature of the statements of goals, policies, standards, and implementation programs. Goal: The ultimate purpose of an effort stated in a way that is general in nature and immeasurable. Policy: A specific statement in text or diagram guiding action and implying clear commitment. Standard: A specific, often quantified guideline, incorporated in a policy or implementation program, defining the relationship between two or more variables. Standards can often translate directly into regulatory controls. Implementation Program: An action, procedure, program, or technique that carries out general plan policy. Implementation programs also specify primary responsibility for carrying out the action and a time frame for accomplishment. B. THE PLAN AREA The Foresthill Divide Community Plan area (Plan area) comprises approximately 109 square miles located in the foothills of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in central Placer County. Several small, rural communities are located on the Divide, including Foresthill, Todd’s Valley, Baker Ranch, Michigan Bluff, and Yankee Jim’s. The majority of the Plan Area is forested and/or part of the steeply sloping topography that slopes to the Middle and North Forks of the American River. As shown in Figure I-1, the Plan area is generally bounded by: • North Fork of the American River, Shirttail Canyon, the watershed of Sugar Pine Reservoir, and Elliott Ranch Road on the west and north. • West branch of El Dorado Canyon on the east • North Fork of the Middle Fork American River and the Middle Fork American River on the south. The Foresthill Divide is a large ridge located within the American River Watershed that supports numerous small, rural communities. These communities include establishments that are remnants of the Gold Rush era, and are of unique historical and cultural value. As the communities have continued to grow, new developments have been introduced. While the Plan area remains predominantly rural in character, along with other unincorporated areas of the county, the Foresthill Divide has absorbed some of the growth in Placer County. This has resulted in the subdivision of land and the introduction of modern patterns of development characterized by large-lot residential development, development that occurs away from the core 1-2 Foresthill Divide Community Plan of the community, and automobile-oriented development. Development of the Plan area has also resulted in opportunities for re-use of existing structures and sites. C. REGIONAL SETTING/CONTEXT The FDCP is one of twenty-two Community Plans within the unincorporated area of Placer County. As stated in the Placer County General Plan, “[b]ecause of the diverse geography and land uses within the county…individual community plans have been prepared within the framework of the overall county plan to address the unique issues and concerns arising in the different unincorporated areas.” The Plan area is approximately twice the size of the area encompassed by the 1981 Foresthill General Plan, and includes areas previously subject to the 1994 Placer County General Plan and the 1981 Weimar/Clipper Gap/Applegate General Plan.

    State of California The Natural Resources Agency Department of Fish and Wildlife North Central Region Sugar Pine Reservoir, Placer County General Fish Survey October 4th, 2017 Mitch Lockhart Environmental Scientist December 28, 2017 Introduction Sugar Pine Reservoir is located in Placer County, approximately seven miles north of Foresthill, California (Figure 1) and sits amongst dense mixed-conifer forest at an elevation of 3,600 feet above mean sea level. The dam was built in 1979 to impound North Shirttail Creek and Forbes Creek, tributaries to the North Fork American River. When full, the reservoir stores approximately 6,900 acre-feet and has a surface area of 165 acres that services the community of Foresthill. The Tahoe National Forest manages the land and facilities around the reservoir, including a trail system, boat ramp, and two campgrounds to accommodate visitors. Figure 1: Google Earth overview image of Sugar Pine Reservoir, Placer County, California (retrieved Dec. 2017). The dam face is visible in the lower left corner of the photo. Shirttail Creek is visible in the upper right corner of the image and flows into the northern arm of the reservoir. Forbes Creek flows into the east arm of the reservoir and is visible in the right side of the image. Fish species known to occur in Sugar Pine Reservoir include: rainbow trout (RT; Oncorhynchus mykiss); brown trout (BN; Salmo trutta); spotted bass (SPB; Micropterus punctulatus); largemouth bass (LMB; Micropterus salmoides); smallmouth bass (SMB; Micropterus dolomieu); green sunfish (GSF; Lepomis cyanellus); bluegill (BG; Lepomis macrochirus); and bullhead catfish (BB; Ameiurus nebulosus).

It describes recreational and commercial activities centered on fishing for trout, salmon, and steelhead in inland waters and the ocean. It also provides information on the jobs and costs associated with operating the DFG hatchery facilities. The direct and indirect economic values of the California fishing segment of the economy are presented. Sources of Information Key information sources for this assessment included: z DFG fisheries managers and biologists and hatchery supervisors, z DFG salmon surveys, z DFG agency databases, z DFG’s report to the Legislature on the Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card program (Jackson 2007), z the USFWS’s biennial National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife­Associated Recreation and the related economic impact assessment Sportfishing in America—An Economic Engine and Conservation Powerhouse (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2002, 2007; Southwick Associates 2008), z Pacific Fishery Management Council’s annual reviews of ocean salmon fisheries (Pacific Fisheries Management Council 2007, 2009), and z California Department of Parks and Recreation’s (DPR’s) periodic surveys on public opinions and attitudes (California Department of Parks and Recreation 2003, 2009). Existing Conditions The following sections describe the current status of regulations that affect recreational and commercial fishing for salmon, steelhead, and trout; the recreational activity that is generated by salmon, steelhead, and trout fishing in California; the economic activity that is generated by operating the DFG hatcheries; and the economic activity that is generated by recreational and commercial fishing in the state.
