  • 2. Existing Conditions
    2. EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter provides a description of existing conditions within the City of Lafayette relevant to the Bikeways Master Plan. Information is based on site visits, existing planning documents, maps, and conversations with Lafayette residents and City of Lafayette, Contra Costa County and other agency staff. 2.1. SETTING The City of Lafayette is situated in a semi-rural valley in Contra Costa County, approximately twenty miles east of San Francisco, on the east side of the Oakland/Berkeley hills. Lafayette has a population of approximately 24,000, and encompasses about 15 square miles of land area, for a population density of about 1,500 persons per square mile. Settlement started in the late 1800s but incorporation did not occur until 1968. Lafayette developed its first general plan in 1974, and this general plan was last updated in 2002. The City is bordered on the north by Briones Regional Lafayette-Moraga Trail along St. Mary’s Park, on the east by Walnut Creek, on the south by Moraga and Road near Florence Drive the west by Orinda. Mixed in along its borders are small pockets of unincorporated Contra Costa County. Lafayette has varied terrain, with steep hills located to the north and south. Highway 24 runs through the City, San Francisco is a 25-minute BART ride away, and Oakland’s Rockridge district is just two BART stops away. LAFAYETTE LAND USES Lafayette’s existing development consists mostly of low- to medium-density single family residential, commercial, parkland and open space. Land uses reflect a somewhat older growth pattern: Commercial areas are located on both sides of Mt.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

  • Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region
    Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region Richard Walker Department of Geography University of California Berkeley 94720 USA On-line version Revised 2002 Previous published version: Landscape and city life: four ecologies of residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ecumene . 2(1), 1995, pp. 33-64. (Includes photos & maps) ANYONE MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PAPER WITH THE USUAL COURTESY OF CITATION. COPYRIGHT 2004. The residential areas occupy the largest swath of the built-up portion of cities, and therefore catch the eye of the beholder above all else. Houses, houses, everywhere. Big houses, little houses, apartment houses; sterile new tract houses, picturesque Victorian houses, snug little stucco homes; gargantuan manor houses, houses tucked into leafy hillsides, and clusters of town houses. Such residential zones establish the basic tone of urban life in the metropolis. By looking at residential landscapes around the city, one can begin to capture the character of the place and its people. We can mark out five residential landscapes in the Bay Area. The oldest is the 19th century Victorian townhouse realm. The most extensive is the vast domain of single-family homes in the suburbia of the 20th century. The grandest is the carefully hidden ostentation of the rich in their estates and manor houses. The most telling for the cultural tone of the region is a middle class suburbia of a peculiar sort: the ecotopian middle landscape. The most vital, yet neglected, realms are the hotel and apartment districts, where life spills out on the streets. More than just an assemblage of buildings and styles, the character of these urban realms reflects the occupants and their class origins, the economics and organization of home- building, and larger social purposes and planning.

  • Firewise.Org Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire
    Firewise.org Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire Acknowledgements This report has been prepared by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in cooperation with the Oakland and Berkeley, California Fire Departments and the California State Fire Marshal's Office. The project was sponsored by the National Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Protection Initiative to further the goals of the Initiative, established in 1986. Those goals are to create general public awareness of the wildland interface problem, to encourage formation of partnerships among problem- solvers and interest groups, and to focus on the development of local solutions to wildland/urban interface fire problems. The report is the fourth in a series of reports prepared and approved by the Initiative sponsors. It is not the intention of NFPA nor of the Initiative to have the report pass judgment on, or fix liability for, the loss of life and property resulting from the Oakland/Berkeley fire. The Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service; U.S. Department of Interior, including the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs; U.S. Fire Administration; the National Association of State Foresters, and the National Fire Protection Association. Contact information for each of these organizations is provided in this report. This analysis was undertaken as part of efforts to achieve the goals of the Initiative. The purpose was to document the fire, determine to the extent possible the variables causing destruction, and make recommendations on how to prevent similar occurrences. Thomas Klem, director of NFPA's Fire Investigations Department, was report manager and technical editor and advisor.

  • Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract
    Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract Urban creeks and their associated watersheds are the focal point for a variety of different land uses including, urban development, industry, agriculture, livestock grazing, and recreational activities. These land uses can threaten the water quality of urban creeks. Most land-use studies have focused on multiple watersheds over a regional scale. More localized information is needed on single streams to provide important water quality information so they can be better managed. This study looked at the relationship between various land uses and water quality along Wildcat Creek, Berkeley, CA to determine if urban development, recreational activities, and livestock grazing may negatively affect the health of the creek. The study area was divided into seven discrete usage zones based on varying land uses. Water samples were collected three times over a four-month period to look for temporal variation in pH, conductivity, turbidity, and nitrates. Samples were also collected and analyzed for E-Coli bacteria once during the study. Regulatory guidelines and/or standards were used to assess the water quality of the creek. pH levels were found to be consistent throughout each usage zone. Conductivity levels increased downstream with the exception of the Lake Anza usage zone (a swimming reservoir), where they dropped sharply, possibly due to a settling effect. Turbidity levels fluctuated between usage zones showing no set pattern. Nitrate loading generally increased downstream throughout the study area. Conductivity levels were significantly correlated over time among the different usage zones, while the other sample parameters did not show significant temporal correlation.
