  • Land Use Plans, Goals, and Policies
    APPENDIX 3.13-A Land Use Plans, Goals, and Policies CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED TRAIN PROJECT EIR/EIS APPENDIX 3.13-A MERCED TO FRESNO SECTION LAND USE PLANS, GOALS, AND POLICIES 1.0 Land Use Plans, Goals, and Policies 1.1 Introduction A review of state, regional, and local land use plans identified goals, objectives, and/or policies pertinent to the Merced to Fresno Section of the HST Project. The HST Project is a state project and is not subject to mandatory consistency with local land use plans or local zoning ordinances under CEQA. However, analysis was performed to identify those regional and local goals and policies related to the HST Project and to identify any inconsistencies only in the regional plans that could result in potential environmental impacts. The following sections summarize the related plans. Table 3.13A-1 (at the end of this section) lists the specific goals, objectives, and policies in the plans and discusses the project with them. The table includes only those policies that are relevant to the project. 1.2 State Land Use Plans State law requires that local governments (cities and counties) adopt general plans to guide local growth and development. The following section describes relevant general plans and the local regulatory setting. 1.3 Summaries of Local Land Use Plans 1.3.1 City of Atwater General Plan The City of Atwater General Plan (City of Atwater 2000) presents a vision of the city for the year 2020 and represents a community consensus. It is a guide for citizens and city officials for discussions about community growth and development, and it provides a framework for decisions on those issues.

  • ACE Ceres–Merced Extension Project PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2021 – MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2021 DATE: April 22, 2021
    NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ACE Ceres–Merced Extension Project PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2021 – MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2021 DATE: April 22, 2021 TO: Agencies, Organizations, and Interested Parties FROM: San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission SUBJECT: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the ACE Ceres- Merced Extension Project (SCH #2018012014) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC), acting as lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has prepared a Draft EIR for the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) Ceres–Merced Extension Project (Project). A. Project Description SJRRC proposes to extend ACE passenger rail service along approximately 34-miles from Ceres to Merced. The Proposed Project would include the development of the following facilities. • The Ceres to Merced Extension Alignment, which consists of upgrades to track, new track, and bridges within the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Fresno Subdivision between Ceres and Merced.1 • The Turlock, Livingston, and Merced Stations, which are located along the Ceres to Merced Extension Alignment. • The Merced Layover & Maintenance Facility, which is located in north Merced to support extension operations. Project Alignment, Stations, and Layover & Maintenance Facility Ceres to Merced Extension Alignment The proposed extension to Merced would construct a combination of track upgrades and new track, which would result in a second mainline on the UPRR Fresno Subdivision between Ceres and Merced. These proposed track upgrades and new track for the Ceres to Merced Extension Alignment would be located east or west of the existing mainline track. Approximately 26 miles of new mainline track will be installed as part of the Project and will be located between existing sidings, which will also be upgraded.

  • The Citizens for California High-Speed Rail Accountability
    CCH April 8, 2014 CITIZENS FOR CALIFORNIA HIGH SPEED RAIL ACCOUNTABILITY Post Office Box 881, Hanford, California 93232 [email protected] Email 559-469-6685 cchsra.org Website CAAHSR Facebook @CCHSRA Twitter CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY 770 L-Street, Suite-880 Sacramento, California 95814 Attention: Board Members Regarding: REALISTIC VIEW OF THE CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY'S 2014 BUSINESS PLAN Attached is a realistic view of the California High-Speed Train Project (CHSTP). Where it has been and where it appears the Authority is planning to take it. In 2008, the CHSTP was defined by California Assembly Bill-3034 and the resulting Proposition-1A. Since then, we the public, law makers and the media have been saturated by the California High-Speed Rail Authority's promises and marketing campaigns to build something different than what the public agreed to fund. The Sacramento Superior Court has ruled that to be the case. The state has appealed the Superior Court's finding and we are eagerly ready to defend the Court's ruling. The state's lack of compliance with the law is a non-complex matter for the appellate court to review and come to the same finding as the lower court. The Authority's 2014 Business Plan just re-enforces how far the CHSTP has drifted from what the public authorized by now pursuing critical Green House Gas (GHG) revenues that should be used by law to meet the state's 2020 GHG reduction goals. California Assembly Bill-32 (AB32) is just another funding law that the Authority is prepared to bleed out to justify its continued existence.
