Page iv | Old Sacramento State Historic Park General Plan Final EIR CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This page intentionally left blank. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION On May 30, 2012, California State Parks released to the general public and public agencies the Preliminary General Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Old Sacramento State Historic Park (OSSHP) and California State Railroad Museum (CSRM). The General Plan will guide development and future management of OSSHP. It contains a comprehensive and integrated set of goals and guidelines for the development and long-term management of OSSHP, focused on the activities and facilities in the park, protection of historical and cultural resources, provision of visitor experiences and opportunities, administration and operations, and integration with the surrounding Downtown area. The Draft EIR included with the Preliminary General Plan contains the environmental analysis of potentially significant effects resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan. Together, the Draft EIR and this document, the Final EIR, including the response to comments, constitute the Environmental Impact Report for the OSSHP General Plan. In accordance with Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21091 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15087, a 45-day public review period for the Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR was provided. The public was advised of the availability of the Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR through legal notices placed in local newspapers, and through emails, direct mailings, and notification on the State Park planning web site. A Notice of Availability was posted with the Sacramento County clerk/recorder, and a public notice was published in the Sacramento Bee. Copies of the Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR were also made available for review at the following locations: California State Railroad Museum, California State Parks Northern Service Center, Sacramento Central Library, the Belle Cooledge Community Library in the Land Park neighborhood of Sacramento, and on the State Park Planning web site. The public review period for the Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR ended on July 16, 2012. During the public review period comments were received from several agencies and individuals. This document provides responses to the written comments received during the public review period. The focus of the response to comments is on the disposition

  • Existing Conditions
    CHAPTER 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS DRAFT MAY 2012 Chapter 2 | EXISTING CONDITIONS CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter summarizes existing land uses and facilities, significant resource values, local and regional plans, and State Parks systemwide plans that influence the management, operations, and visitor experiences in Old Sacramento State Historic Park (OSSHP). This information provides the baseline on which implementation of the General Plan will be performed and also presents the environmental setting for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), where applicable. 2.1 REGIONAL LAND USES AND FACILITIES OSSHP is influenced by its location within the Sacramento metropolitan area, by the surrounding Downtown Central Business District, and by its position within both the State Parks’ Capital District State Museums and Historic Parks (Capital District) and the 28‐acre Old Sacramento Historic District (Old Sacramento). 2.1.1 REGIONAL LAND USES OSSHP is an important historic, cultural, and recreational resource, preserving one of the oldest areas in the City of Sacramento (City) and is a contiguous part of greater Old Sacramento, a national and state historic landmark district. Today, Old Sacramento represents the commercial scenes from the mid‐ to late‐19th century, spanning the Gold Rush and Transcontinental Railroad era. It is a popular tourist destination, providing shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences; museums, historic attractions, and living history programs; and special events that give visitors a glimpse of Sacramento’s rich and vibrant past. As part of the Downtown Sacramento Central Business District, commercial, entertainment, cultural, and recreational uses and facilities in Old Sacramento contribute to the status of the Downtown as the business and cultural center for a diverse, six‐county Sacramento metropolitan area.

Descriptive Summary Title: Eugene Hepting photograph collection Dates: 1850-1970 Collection number: MS0053 Creator: Hepting, Eugene Collection Size: 6.5 linear feet(7290 photographs) Repository: Center for Sacramento History Sacramento, California 95811-0229 Abstract: The Eugene Hepting Collection contains 7,290 photographs, negatives and numerous magazine and newspaper articles. The images document Sacramento and Northern California beginning in the early 1930s and ending in the mid-1960s. Eugene Hepting carefully researched the subject matter of his images. The majority of his photographs include a paragraph stating the location and dates of the photos and the names of any people in the pictures. The subject matter of this collection is quite varied. Mr. Hepting took photographs of almost every city block and home in the downtown area of Sacramento. These images are very important because many of these residential and business structures are no longer standing. Often accompanying a photo is another image or newspaper article showing the demolition or burning of the same structure.
