City of Laguna Niguel Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item CITY OF LAGUNA NIGUEL PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Cathy Angstadt, Recreation Supervisor DATE: December 14, 2020 SUBJECT: Trails in Laguna Niguel User Information RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Parks & Recreation Commission review and provide feedback on the Trails in Laguna Niguel draft pamphlet. BACKGROUND An extensive trail system exists within Laguna Niguel providing recreational access to major parks throughout the City and adjacent communities. Many of the trails offer scenic ridgelines along the eastern and western perimeter of the City with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean surrounded by hillsides and valleys. Several trails traverse large open space canyons, including the Salt Creek Regional Park and the Laguna Niguel Regional Park. The trails serve a variety of users, including hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and equestrians. The equestrian element of the trail system provides equestrian access from the Nellie Gail community in Laguna Hills to the Laguna Niguel Regional Park, Salt Creek Regional Park, Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, and horse stables in San Juan Capistrano. Before City incorporation, multiple developers owned the land. The County approved and ensured trail establishment and development required for property expansion. As home developments increased, trails were added to enhance recreational features and access for its future property owners. According to each development track map, trail maintenance, ownership, and easement rights were either accepted or not accepted by the County for each trail. Although the County of Orange still owns and maintains much of the trail system within City boundaries, other sections are owned and maintained by local homeowner associations and by the City of Laguna Niguel. For example, there are public trails within private gate-guarded residential communities in several locations, and access to these trails is not always readily apparent. Due to trail ownership's complex nature, staff is concentrating on improving trail marketing material. Page 2 ANALYSIS Trails within the City are divided into eight (8) major segments: • Aliso Summit Trail • Bear Brand Park Trail • Colinas Bluff Trail • Laguna Ridge Trail • Long View Park Trail • Niguel Trail • Oso Creek Trail • Salt Creek Trail The City's published Trail Map displays the locations for each of the eight (8) trail segments, trailhead parking locations, and City Parks. The Trail Map is available on the City's website and also included in the City's quarterly Recreation Brochure as displayed in Attachment A. To further promote trails, staff redesigned a trail pamphlet for public distribution in a printed form and electronically. A draft copy of the trail pamphlet is attached for review in Attachment B. The revised pamphlet gives community members a more in-depth description of each trail to determine which trail meets their recreational needs. Staff is working with Public Works to create QR codes with this same trail description and information. These QR codes would be added to the pamphlet on each trail description and placed on trailhead placards for users to easily access information from their phone. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The Parks and Recreation Commission may request research for additional information. FISCAL REVIEW No fiscal review is required for this report. LEGAL REVIEW No legal review is required for this report. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the Parks & Recreation Commission review and provide feedback on the Trails in Laguna Niguel draft pamphlet.

  • Section 12, Watershed Action Plans
    SECTION 12, WATERSHED ACTION PLANS 12.0 WATERSHED ACTION PLANS 12.1 Introduction The Third Term Permits have, with varying degrees of specificity, required the Permittees to develop and implement a watershed-based approach to urban stormwater management to complement the established jurisdictional-based approaches. In the area of the County under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Regional Board, Watershed Urban Runoff Management Plans (WURMPs) termed DAMP/Watershed Action Plans1 (WAPs), have been prepared for each of the six principal watersheds. In the Santa Ana Regional Board area of the County, which has a long history of watershed planning focused on the Newport Bay Watershed, the Permittees were required to update Appendix N of the DAMP to reflect the implementation measures and schedules related to the fecal coliform TMDL. Watershed management is the term used for the approach to water quality planning that places an emphasis on the watershed (the area draining into a river system, ocean or other body of water through a single outlet) as the planning area and looks to solutions to problems that cut across programs and jurisdictions. In Orange County, these efforts focus additional effort on the highest priority water quality constituents of concern in each watershed. The approach taken to develop the DAMP/WAPs establishes the jurisdictional DAMP/LIPs and the DAMP/WAPs as the principal policy and program documents for two separate, but nonetheless similar and highly interdependent, water quality planning processes targeting the control of pollutants in urban runoff (see Section 3.0, 2007 DAMP). In a number of watersheds these efforts are supportive of a third planning process that is focused on achieving broader objectives such as watershed habitat restoration and connectivity rather than specific water quality outcomes.

  • Cameron Paper
    Determining Tribal Boundaries Through Potsherds- An Archaeological Perspective Constance Cameron Abstract It has become popular since the 1970s to combine the Juaneño and Luiseño Indians based on linguistic similarities. If these people were indeed one group, the material culture from Late Prehistoric sites should be analogous. Artifact inventories from archaeological investigations in Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties are compared to each other as well as to a “typical” Luiseño component. It is shown that one category differs markedly between sites found in traditional Juaneño territory and those in the Luiseño sphere. The manufacture and utilization of ceramic vessels may well mark a boundary between two groups of people in the late pre- contact period. Introduction Some of the Indian groups of coastal California, which were in a mission sphere of influence 230 years ago, are referred to by the name of the mission with which they were affiliated. This particularly occurs in coastal Southern California. The Gabrielino name is associated with the Mission San Gabriel, the Juaneño with the Mission San Juan Capistrano, the Luiseño with the Mission San Luis Rey, and the Diegueño (more recently called Ipai and Tipai after two of the three language dialects of the Diegueño) with the Mission San Diego. Kroeber (1925) was one of the first scholars to present definitive areas for Indian groups in California when he devoted a chapter to each and included tribal boundaries. The present paper is concerned with two groups from coastal Southern California, the Juaneño and the Luiseño (Fig.1) These two groups are part of Kroeber’s “Shoshonean wedge” that divided the Hokan speaking Chumash and Diegueño.

  • 4.4 Cultural Resources
    SECTION 4.4 Cultural Resources 4.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section of the PEIR analyzes the potential environmental effects on cultural resources from implementation of the proposed Specific Plan. Cultural resources are defined as buildings, sites, districts, structures, or objects having historical, architectural, archaeological, or cultural importance. The potential for impacts on archaeological resources and human burials, as well as potential project effects on paleontological resources are also considered. This section briefly describes the prehistoric and historic setting of the Specific Plan project area and discusses known cultural resources within the project area and adjacent lands; provides the geologic setting of the project area; and identifies the cultural and paleontological resource sensitivity of the project area. Applicable federal, state, and local regulations are identified, followed by impact analysis and mitigation measures, where applicable, to reduce impacts on cultural and paleontological resources. No comment letters addressing cultural resources were received in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) circulated for the proposed project. Data for this section were taken from various sources, including a records search of the of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC 2010); a search of the Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File (NAHC 2010); a search of on line listings for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP 2011); California State Historic Landmarks, California Register of Historical Resources, and California Points of Historical Interest (OHP 2011); The County of Orange General Plan Resources Element (2008); The City of Laguna Niguel General Plan Open Space/Parks/Conservation Element (1992); and resources to inform the environmental setting: Fulton (2009); Harper et al.
