The Specific Plan process can also provide the impetus needed to initiate development in designated areas in a way that is also consistent with the City’s vision established in the General Plan. Although it is not part of the General Plan, a Specific Plan must adhere to and be consistent with the General Plan. In that regards a Specific Plan is similar to a zoning ordinance with the focus on implementation. One outcome of the Specific Plan process is the establishment of infrastructure plans that support development. In addition, a Specific Plan provides guidance to developers without stifling opportunities or imposing inflexible regulations that preclude creative development responses. Although California State law does not define a rigid structure, a Specific Plan often includes a comprehensive description of land use, existing conditions, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and design guidelines. The Plan must also discuss implementation programs for the property owners, developers, architects, and builders to prepare development proposals for the City’s review and approval. 1‐1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.2 FREEWAY CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Yucaipa Freeway Corridor Specific Plan provides the planning tools necessary to guide development for the 1,242‐acre Freeway Corridor planning area. In particular, this Plan establishes a framework for development of the area, including: Proposed land uses, development regulations, and design standards; A multi‐modal trail and circulation system that provides access for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles; A plan for protecting and managing important natural resources including the hillsides, and native oak trees; Infrastructure facilities required, including financing and phasing, to support implementation of the Plan; and Implementation and administrative processes needed to approve specific development projects within the Specific Plan area. The Freeway Corridor Specific Plan offers a mixture of residential, commercial, and business park development. In addition to these land uses, the plan provides community amenities such as trails, two potential elementary schools, and open space areas that help to create a cohesive community where people can live, work, shop, and play. A variety of residential uses are provided to help meet the growing demand for housing in San Bernardino County. The commercial and business park uses provide employment as well as retail and entertainment opportunities for those living within the community. The commercial and business park areas take advantage of the freeway visibility and access to serve both local and regional needs. The residential areas are linked to the commercial and business park areas through an extensive system of multi‐ modal trails and open space corridors. 1.3 REGIONAL AND LOCAL SETTING The 1,242‐acre Freeway Corridor Specific Plan area is located in the City of Yucaipa in San Bernardino County (see Figure 1). The Plan area is bisected by Interstate 10 (I‐10) and abuts the Riverside County line to the south. Regional access to the project site is provided by Interstate 10 from the east and west. Local access to the Specific Plan area is provided by Live Oak Canyon Road, County Line Road, Oak Glen Road, Wildwood Canyon Road, and Calimesa Boulevard. 1‐2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1‐3 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The Specific Plan is also accessible from two freeway interchanges. The I‐10/Live Oak Canyon/Oak Glen Road interchange is at the western edge of the project area. The I‐ 10/County Line Road interchange is at the southeastern edge of the project area. 1.4 PLANNING OBJECTIVES Prior to the selection of a Consultant team to manage and prepare the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan, the City Council established a set of objectives that were instrumental in the development of the Plan. The objectives are: Design an integrated addition to the City of Yucaipa containing housing, employment opportunities, retail/commercial areas, recreation areas, and other facilities essential to the daily lives of the residents; Ensure that the plan complies with the City Development Code related to hillside development; Expand the range of housing opportunities in the region to meet the needs of a variety of household types, sizes, and income levels; Provide an abundance and variety of open space and multi‐modal trails (including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians) throughout the community; Design a safe and efficient circulation system that adequately supports the anticipated level of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic in and around the Specific Plan area; Develop a financing and phasing plan that provides for the efficient and timely provision of infrastructure and services as development occurs; and Comprehensively plan the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan area with consideration of other contiguous areas to ensure compatible and complementary development, circulation patterns, infrastructure, and services To assist the City staff and the Consultant team, the Yucaipa City Council formed a Freeway Corridor Specific Plan Advisory Committee (SPAC) to encourage the timely realization of an appropriate development plan for the project area. The committee was a diverse group that represented all of the numerous stakeholders, including property owners, nearby residents, and others who have an interest in the long‐term development of the site. This broad range of interests ensured that all views and perspectives were given respectful consideration.

  • Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Proposed Land
    DRECP Proposed LUPA and Final EIS CHAPTER III.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES III.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter presents the Affected Environment for the Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) Decision Area and the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) area for cultural resources. These areas overlap, and in the following programmatic discussion are referred to broadly as the “California Desert Region.” More than 32,000 cultural resources are known in the DRECP area in every existing environmental context ⎼ from mountain crests to dry lake beds ⎼ and include both surface and subsurface deposits. Cultural resources are categorized as buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts (including cultural landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties) under the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Historic properties are cultural resources included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), maintained by the Secretary of the Interior (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 60.4). See Section III.8.1.1 for more information on federal regulations and historic properties. This chapter discusses three types of cultural resources classified by their origins: prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic. Prehistoric cultural resources are associated with the human occupation of California prior to prolonged European contact. These resources may include sites and deposits, structures, artifacts, rock art, trails, and other traces of Native American human behavior. In California, the prehistoric period began over 12,000 years ago and extended through the eighteenth century until 1769, when the first Europeans settled in California. Ethnographic resources represent the heritage of a particular ethnic or cultural group, such as Native Americans or African, European, Latino, or Asian immigrants.

  • Berberis Nevinii (Nevin's Barberry) 5-Year Review
    Berberis nevinii (Nevin’s barberry) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photograph by Chris Wagner, SBNF. Used with permission. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, CA August 14, 2009 2009 5-year Review for Berberis nevinii 5-YEAR REVIEW Berberis nevinii (Nevin’s barberry) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.

    SCE West of Devers Upgrade Project D.15 RECREATION D.15 Recreation This section describes the affected environment for Recreation in Section D.15.1 and presents the relevant regulations and standards in Section D.15.2. Sections D.15.3 through D.15.5 describe the impacts of the Proposed Project and the alternatives. Section D.15.6 presents the mitigation measures and mitigation monitoring requirements, and Section D.15.7 lists references cited. A recreation area is any site or facility that is used by the public for recreational activities. Recreation areas may include: national, State, county, or city parks; refuges or preserves; open space; cultural centers or museums; campgrounds; significant ecological areas; special recreation management areas, areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC);1 or private recreational sites such as golf courses. D.15.1 Environmental Setting / Affected Environment D.15.1.1 Regional Setting and Approach to Data Collection The Proposed Project and alternatives are located within or pass adjacent to recreation areas under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), USDA Forest Service (USFS), California Department of Parks and Recreation, Caltrans, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and several cities. Field data were collected to identify recreation along the Proposed Project and alternatives. The locations of these recreation areas are shown in Figures D.15-1a through D.15-1k. These provide the locations of recreation by Segment on a larger scale. The following discussion describes the identified recreation facilities within 0.25 miles of the Proposed Project route. Recreation areas located outside of this 0.5 miles wide corridor are identified for orientation purposes in the environmental setting sections, but are not considered in the impact assessment.

  • 2012 Traffic Volumes on California State Highways
    2012 Traffic Volumes on California State Highways 2012 TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON THE CALIFORNIA STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE TRANSPORTATION AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DIVISION OF TRAFFIC OPERATIONS Sacramento, CA 95814 916-654-4578 Prepared in Cooperation with the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration To Purchase This Book Price $15.00 Phone: 916-263-0822 PREFACE Traffic Trend A comparison of the 2012 over 2011 annual traffic volume data shows that state highway travel increased in 2012. This year’s increase in vehicle miles of travel on California highways compares with prior years as follows: *2012 over 2011………………………………………………………………….+ 0.24% *2011 over 2010…………………………………………………………………..- 1.1% 2010 over 2009…………………………………………………………………..- 0.2% 2009 over 2008…………………………………………………………………..- 0.6% 2008 over 2007…………………………………………………………………..+3.5% Traffic Profile This booklet lists 2012 traffic volumes for all count locations on the California state highway system. Peak hours, peak month ADTs and annual ADTs are shown at each count location. Significant volume changes (breakpoints) in the traffic profile along each route are counted and identified by name and milepost value. In addition to the profile breakpoints, the booklet lists county lines and landmarks to aid in orientation. The numbers shown in this booklet apply to the highway immediately back and ahead of the locations. Therefore, between any two successive breakpoints along the route it may be assumed that traffic volumes will vary from one breakpoint to the next at a reasonably uniform rate of increase or decrease. Where only a single set of figures appears between two breakpoints, a constant volume of traffic may be assumed for the intervening section of highway.
