  • Park Ranger Program Annual Report Page 2 of 8
    PSFSS COMMITTEE: 3/16/17 ITEM: (d) 3 CITY OF SAN IPSE Memorandum CAPITAL OF SILICON VALLEY TO: PUBLIC SAFETY, FINANCE, AND FROM: Angel Rios, Jr. STRATEGIC SUPPORT COMMITTEE SUBJECT: PARK RANGER PROGRAM DATE: March 8, 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Approved Date .5 A - n RECOMMENDATION Accept the 2016 Annual Report on the Park Ranger Program. BACKGROUND The City of San Jose's Park Ranger Program is an integral part of the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS). Its mission is to provide a safe, enjoyable park experience by protecting and educating the public, providing recreational opportunities, and protecting, preserving, and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the City's parks, trails and open spaces. The Park Ranger Program has its roots in resource and visitor protection. The City established the Park Ranger Unit in 1972 after a period in the 1960's and early 1970's when San Jose's park system expanded rapidly and crime and vandalism were deterring residents from using parks. A community task force convened to address crime issues at Alum Rock Park and other neighborhood parks and recommended adding Park Rangers. Originally, Park Rangers were Auxiliary Police Officers, appointed by the Chief of Police and granted Peace Officer powers while on duty. The Park Ranger Unit provided law enforcement services along with land management and visitor services. Park Rangers underwent police academy training, and the Police Department provided them with equipment and vehicles for their work. By the late 1970's, the San Jose Police Department created a Parks Enforcement Unit to provide a higher level of enforcement (rather than arming San Jose's Park Rangers).

    Chapter 2 Land Use and Covered Activities 2.1 Introduction This chapter examines existing land use conditions and land use plans in the study area, and describes activities covered under the Plan. The land use component of this chapter provides an overview of the major land use and open space management agencies operating within the study area and provides a brief description of each agency’s mission and jurisdiction. The description of land use provides the necessary context for the covered activities upon which the impact analysis (Chapter 4) is based. This chapter provides history and context for future development in the study area, reviews existing land-use conditions and relevant land use plans; presents the criteria used to determine land use categories for the Plan; discusses significant existing open spaces in the study area and open space type classification; and describes the projects and activities within the permit area that will be covered under the incidental take permits. 2.2 Land Use and Jurisdictions 2.2.1 Existing Conditions Santa Clara County encompasses 835,449 acres (1,305 square miles), 519,506 acres (810 square miles, or 62% of the County) of which are included in the study area of this Plan. The fertile Santa Clara Valley (Valley) runs the entire length of the County from north to south, ringed by the rolling hills of the Diablo Range on the east and the Santa Cruz Mountains on the west. Salt marshes, tidal wetlands, and mostly abandoned salt ponds lie in the northern part of the County, adjacent to San Francisco Bay (County of Santa Clara 2006a) (see Figure 1-1 for the regional location of the Plan study area).
