Monarch Buena Vista – P16-0394 August 2017 Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study City of Vista Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Overview As part of the permitting process under the City of Vista’s (City) Planning Division, the Monarch Buena Vista Project (or “proposed project”), which seeks approval of a Site Development Plan, Tentative Subdivision Map, and Condominium Housing Permit, is required to undergo an environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). One of the main objectives of CEQA is to disclose to the public and decision makers the potential environmental effects of proposed activities. CEQA requires that the lead agency prepare an Initial Study (IS) to determine whether an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration (ND), or a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is needed. The City’s Planning Division is the lead agency for the proposed project under CEQA, and it has prepared this MND/IS to evaluate the potential environmental consequences associated with the development of the Monarch Buena Vista Project and the City-owned and operated flood control detention basin. Authority The preparation of this MND/IS is governed by two principal sets of documents: the CEQA Statute (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000, et seq.). Specifically, the preparation of an MND/IS is guided by certain sections of the State CEQA Guidelines; Section 15063 describes the requirements for initial studies, and Sections 15070–15075 describes the process for the preparation of an MND. Where appropriate and supportive to an understanding of the issues, reference will be made to either the CEQA statute or State CEQA Guidelines. This MND/IS contains all of the contents required by CEQA, which includes a project description, a description of the environmental setting, potential environmental impacts, mitigation measures for any significant effects, consistency with plans and policies, and names of preparers. Scope This MND/IS evaluates the proposed project’s effects on the following resource topics: • aesthetics • land use planning • agricultural resources • mineral resources • air quality • noise • biological resources • population and housing • cultural resources • public services • geology and soils • recreation • greenhouse gas emissions • transportation/traffic • hazards and hazardous materials • utilities and service systems • hydrology and water quality • mandatory findings of significance Monarch Buena Vista – P16-0394 1-1 August 2017 Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study City of Vista Chapter 1 - Introduction This page left intentionally

There are no other historical landmarks or interpretive facilities that reflect the ethnic background of the majority of the community. The Bockias-Orr House owned by the Pajaro Valley Historical Association commemorates the Anglo pioneers of Watsonville, while the Agricultural History Museum at the Fairgrounds interprets the farming heritage of the valley. The acquisition of the Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe was consciously made to preserve and interpret the only remaining building of the Mexican Rancho era of California remaining in the Pajaro Valley and the finest example of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay region.

The coordinates represent the central point of the Marrón-Hayes Adobe, the extant building of the historic district. These coordinates were obtained on July 1, 2014, using Google Earth’s GPS mapping grade unit. The coordinates’ datum is North American Datum 1983. Shelley Hayes Caron Residence The Marrón-Hayes Adobes Historic District is comprised of the extant Marrón- Hayes Adobe (ca. 1854, altered 1947) and the melted Hayes Adobe (constructed by ca. 1875 and added onto thereafter, deteriorating by 1930s, ruins only by 1965, no longer extant). The Marrón-Hayes Adobes Historic District was once part of Silvestre Marrón’s much larger 362-acre ranch (Figure 1). The Marrón- Hayes Adobes Historic District is significant for its association with Silvestre Marrón, one of the first non-Indian settlers of the present-day Oceanside- Carlsbad area, and John Chauncey Hayes, an influential late nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century lawyer, judge, newspaper man, farmer, real estate developer, and one of the founders of the city of Oceanside. The extant Marrón- Hayes Adobe is significant as a rare and intact example of a late Mexican-style adobe in San Diego County (1850-1906), as well as an excellent example of mid- twentieth-century (1947) Mission Revival architecture, which was a romanticized revival of the Spanish-Mexican architectural roots of San Diego.

  • 240 Years of Ranching Historical Research, Field Surveys, Oral
    240 Years of Ranching Historical Research, Field Surveys, Oral Interviews, Significance Criteria, and Management Recommendations for Ranching Districts and Sites in the San Diego Region By Sue A. Wade Stephen R. Van Wormer Heather Thomson September 8, 2009 i ABSTRACT Livestock have grazed on the grasslands of Southern California from the time the first Europeans arrived in the 1700s until the present day. Within a few years of the establishment of the first Spanish missions, thousands of horses, cattle, and sheep grazed on the coastal mesas, inland valleys, and mountain foothills. After the Mexican revolution in 1821 and the subsequent secularization of the missions, the California rancheros continued raising livestock on the open range. Thus, during the Spanish and Mexican periods, from the 1770s until the 1840s, the base economy of California depended on open-range cattle. During this time, cattle were primarily raised for their hides, some used locally, but the majority brought by the thousands to the coastal ports and traded to Americans for transport to the United States East Coast. After the American takeover of California in 1848 and the discovery of gold in Northern California the following year, the cattle industry continued to prosper by producing meat to feed the thousands of emigrants and gold-rushers in Northern California. Although impacted by droughts in the 1860s, the cattle meat industry continued to be viable until the 1880s. In the late nineteenth century, as a result of the rampant promotion of Southern California by land speculators and several years of exceptional rains that supported dry-land farming, much of the prime agricultural land of Southern California was homesteaded by American farming families.
