1968 General Plan
I I I I I I MONTEREY COUNTY GENERAL PLAN I MONTEREY COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA I I I I ADOPTED BY THE MONTEREY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1968 I ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF MONTEREY COUNTY OCTOBER 22, 1968 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 0 N I I I MONTEREY COUNTY I I I I I I PREFACE I The Monterey County General Plan is an attempt to establish a county philosophy based on the values and desires of the people. This in turn becomes a valid basis for decisions by public bodies as well as private enterprise. Such a pro cedure is vitally needed in our rapidly changing environment. The General Plan I is a study of the ever changing pattern of Monterey County --a mirror in which to review the past, to comprehend the present, and to contemplate the future, This plan reflects years of research and study as well as many other reports such as I the continuing Facts and Figures, Recreation in Monterey County, Beach Acqui sition, and other plans which are shown as separate documents h~cause of the volume of material. I The size of Monterey County, its variety of climate, vegetation, and land forms make it imperative that only large land uses or broad proposals be used to portray geographically the objectives desired for the future development of the County. I Accordingly, in addition to the maps, greater emphasis in the General Plan is placed on the text which conveys in words the objectives as well as the princi ples and standards recommended to make them effective.

Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

Cultural Resources Regional Background
Appendix F Cultural Resources Regional Background 1 Appendix F 2 Cultural Resources Regional Background 3 This appendix summarizes prehistoric, ethnographic, geoarchaeological, and historical contexts of 4 the Project site and surrounding lands. This summary of the regional conditions is based on 5 previous reports and other secondary sources. 6 Prehistoric Background 7 The Project site is located in the Monterey Bay Area, a component of the Central Coast of California. 8 Jones et al. (2007) present a chronological system of six periods in the Central Coast. 9 Paleo-Indian (pre-8000 cal B.C.) 10 Human presence in this area at this time is suggested only by isolated, fluted projectile points, such 11 as the specimens from Nipomo (see Mills et al. 2005), which likely reflected habitation sometime 12 between 13,000 and 10,000 years ago. No substantive components of this age have yet been 13 identified in the Central Coast (Jones et al. 2007:134). 14 Millingstone Culture, 8000 to 3500/3000 cal B.C. 15 At least 42 sites throughout the Central Coast area have been identified as Millingstone occupations, 16 including the open rocky coasts of Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo counties, the Morro Bay and 17 Elkhorn Slough estuaries, and the near shore interior valleys of San Luis Obispo County (Jones et al. 18 2007:135, 137). All of these sites are located no farther than 25 kilometers (15 miles) inland from 19 the shore, and most interior Millingstone sites have produced marine shells, indicating that the site 20 inhabitants also exploited coastal environments.

Big Sur Highway 1 Sustainable Transportation Demand Management Plan
BIG SUR HIGHWAY 1 SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Big Sur Coast Highway – a 100 mile majestic experience from Carmel to Hearst Castle – is experiencing travel pressures that could damage the very scenic qualities and natural beauty that make the area so precious. Caltrans is working with a stakeholder Advisory Committee, stakeholder groups from different regions along the corridor, and interested residents to develop a Sustainable Transportation Demand Management Plan. The Plan will provide a collaborative and comprehensive framework to address the increasing visitor demand along the Big Sur Coast in an efficient and environmentally-sustainable way. The plan builds upon the 2004 Big Sur Coast Highway Management Plan and the Big Sur Land Use Plan to develop a set of goals and strategies to address visitor demands along the highway. Collaboration among stakeholders to address shared Monterey issues is a key principle of the Plan. Carmel The Big Sur corridor runs from Carmel-by-the-Sea in the north Outcomes and goals of the planning effort include: to the intersection of Highway 1 and State Route 46 in the south. • Creating and meeting stakeholders’ vision and goals • Developing viable alternatives to driving • Addressing visitor needs to reduce impacts to natural and CORRIDOR Hwy scenic resources Big Sur 101 LOS PADRES • Developing parking strategies NATIONAL FOREST • Coordinating with and building from other community Slates Hot Springs and stakeholder-driven projects • Identifying potential electric vehicle charging stations Lucia Plaskett How to Get Involved Gorda Community input will be gathered via multiple outreach events MONTEREY COUNTY throughout 2019.

Wildfires Turn Valley and All of California Into a Sci-Fi Landscape By Bill McEwen GV Wire, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020 As crews battle 367 wildfires in heatwave-baked California, the satellite view from above shows a state enveloped in smoke. On the ground, firefighters are doing their best to contain the blazes — many of them ignited by nearly 11,000 lightning strikes during a 72-hour period. Strong winds are spreading some of the fires, as well as the smoke that is darkening skies, dropping soot, and making the sun look like something from a sci-fi movie. Bay Area Air Is Some of the Worst in the World As bad as the air is in Fresno, it’s worse in parts of the Bay Area, which customarily enjoys clear air scoured by ocean breezes. With wildfires burning north, east, and south of San Francisco, the air quality index there on Wednesday among the worst in the world, KQED reported. To compare the Bay Area’s air quality to that in the Valley today, click on this link. Because of the wildfires, the Valley Air District has issued a health caution. And, district officials are advising residents to reduce exposure to particulate matter emissions by staying indoors. “PM pollution can trigger asthma attacks, aggravate chronic bronchitis, and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke,” the district said in a news release. “Anyone experiencing poor air quality due to wildfire smoke should move indoors, to a filtered, air-conditioned environment with windows closed.” District officials also advise that common cloth and paper masks people are wearing because of COVID- 19 “may not protect them from wildfire smoke.” A wildfire in Del Puerto Canyon near Patterson in the North Valley is contributing to Fresno area smoke.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-1559-A UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF PART OF THE VENTANA WILDERNESS AND THE BLACK BUTTE, BEAR MOUNTAIN, AND BEAR CANYON ROADLESS AREAS, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY REPORT By V. M. Seiders U.S. Geological Survey and L. E. Esparza, Charles Sabine, J. M. Spear, Scott Stebbins, and J. R. Benham U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preser vation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of part of the Ventana Wilder ness and the Black Butte (5102), Bear Mountain (5103), and Bear Canyon (5104) Roadless Areas, Los Padres National Forest, Monterey County, California. The Ventana Wilderness was established by Public Law 91-58; this report discusses additions to the Ventana Wilderness that were established by Public Law 95-237 in 1978.
