STATE OF CALIFORNIA SUMMARY** Indian Gaming Regulatory Act Reversing the district court’s summary judgment, the panel held that the State of California did not violate the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act by failing to negotiate in good faith for a tribal-state gaming compact with Big Lagoon Rancheria. The panel held that a tribe must have jurisdiction over “Indian lands” in order to file suit to compel negotiations under IGRA. Specifically, the tribe must have jurisdiction over the Indian lands upon which the gaming activity is to be conducted. The panel held that although the State’s objection to the “Indian lands” requirement could be waived because it was not a matter of subject matter jurisdiction, the State preserved this issue for review. The panel held that the parcel at issue was not Indian lands, which include lands held in trust for a tribe, because under Carcieri v.

  • Executive Summary
    Humboldt Regional Transportation Plan – 2013/14 Update Draft EIR Section 3.0 Environmental Setting 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 3.1 PHYSICAL SETTING a. Geography. The RTP’s planning area encompasses areas throughout the Humboldt region, covering the seven incorporated cities, the unincorporated county, tribal lands, and state highways. Humboldt County is a densely forested, mountainous, and rural county with about 110 miles of coastline (more than any other county in the state) situated along the Pacific coast in Northern California's rugged Coast (Mountain) Ranges. Land within Humboldt County’s political boundaries covers 3,500 square miles of beaches, dunes, estuaries, river valleys, bay land, coastal terraces, agricultural lands and forested hills. Rural and relatively urban communities and cities dispersed throughout. The county is mostly mountainous except for the level plain which surrounds Humboldt Bay. The elevation runs from sea level to 6,934 feet. What is now known as Humboldt County is the ancestral land of several Native American Tribes. There are eight Native American Reservations and Rancherias in Humboldt County: Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria, Big Lagoon Rancheria, Blue Lake Rancheria, Hoopa Valley Tribe, Karuk Tribe, Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, Wiyot Tribe, and the Yurok Tribe. Humboldt County is bounded to the west by the Pacific Ocean. It is north of Mendocino County, south of Del Norte County, and west of Trinity and Siskiyou Counties. The planning area includes Townships 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12 North, and Townships 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 South; and Ranges 1, 2, & 3 West and 1, 2, 3, 4, &5 East of the Humboldt Base & Meridian.

As submitted, the proposed LCP amendment would reconfigure the boundary lines between the existing Residential Estates (RE) and Coastal Commercial Timberland (TC) land use and zoning designations on a single 13-acre lot owned by the Big Lagoon Park Company. The LCP amendment as submitted also would reconfigure the existing urban limit line on the property to run coincident with the reconfigured RE area. Although the LCP amendment is proposed to accommodate a specific development proposal involving the relocation of existing cabins on commonly owned contiguous lots, the proposed amendment will affect the future development of the site whether or not the property owners carry through with the proposed cabin relocation. Staff originally recommended certification of the LCP amendment as submitted because the proposed amendment could be found consistent with the applicable Coastal Act standards. However, upon review of the local CDP for the relocation of the cabins that will be subject to appeal once the Commission receives a notice of final local action, staff has discovered that its recommendation of approval as submitted will not accomplish the County’s desired objective of accommodating the potential relocation of up to 14 cabins subject to ongoing bluff retreat hazards.

The new rule also specifies that a student seeking to be deemed eligible under the provisions of this rule must follow procedures prescribed by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission, including submitting a photocopy of a document confirming the student’s tribal membership.
