  • 4.3 Cultural Resources
    4.3 CULTURAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION W & S Consultants, (W&S) conducted an archaeological survey of the project site that included an archival record search conducted at the local California Historic Resource Information System (CHRIS) repository at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located on the campus of California State University, Fullerton. In July 2010, a field survey of the 1.2-mile proposed project site was conducted. The archaeological survey report can be found in Appendix 4.3. Mitigation measures are recommended which would reduce potential impacts to unknown archeological resources within the project site, potential impacts to paleontological resources, and the discovery of human remains during construction to less than significant. PROJECT BACKGROUND Ethnographic Setting Tataviam The upper Santa Clara Valley region, including the study area, was inhabited during the ethnographic past by an ethnolinguistic group known as the Tataviam.1 Their language represents a member of the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan linguistic family.2 In this sense, it was related to other Takic languages in the Los Angeles County region, such as Gabrielino/Fernandeño (Tongva) of the Los Angeles Basin proper, and Kitanemuk of the Antelope Valley. The Tataviam are thought to have inhabited the upper Santa Clara River drainage from about Piru eastwards to just beyond the Vasquez Rocks/Agua Dulce area; southwards as far as Newhall and the crests of the San Gabriel and Santa Susana Mountains; and northwards to include the middle reaches of Piru Creek, the Liebre Mountains, and the southwesternmost fringe of Antelope Valley.3 Their northern boundary most likely ran along the northern foothills of the Liebre Mountains (i.e., the edge of Antelope Valley), and then crossed to the southern slopes of the Sawmill Mountains and Sierra Pelona, extending 1 NEA, and King, Chester.

This includes implementing the vision of the first and subsequent City Councils to buffer the Santa Clarita Valley with a greenbelt to help maintain the character and quality of life for residents. During “The Big Picture” Community Strategic Planning process in 2004, several open space goals were reaffirmed. Additionally, in 2007 a number of community members spoke to the Council in support of preserving undeveloped land and asked the Council to, once again, pursue the creation of a mechanism to finance the acquisition and preservation of undeveloped land. In April 2007, the City Council adopted a resolution to initiate the formation of the City of Santa Clarita Open Space Preservation District.

  • 3.7 Biological Resources
    3.7 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This section identifies major plant and animal resources within the City’s Planning Area and assesses the potential impacts of the proposed General Plan on biological resources with the understanding that certain resources, especially wildlife, are transitory and may potentially be present in a wide variety of areas regardless of previous records of observation. The City’s Planning Area consists of its incorporated boundaries and adopted Sphere of Influence (SOI). The County’s Planning Area consists of unincorporated land within the One Valley One Vision (OVOV) Planning Area boundaries that is located outside the City’s boundaries and the adopted SOI. The City and the County Planning Areas together comprise the OVOV Planning Area. A substantial portion of the area within the City has been developed. Species within the remaining natural areas are adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the region, in that they thrive in the cool, wet winters, and dry, hot summers typical of the area. Within the City boundaries, these areas include the Santa Clara River through the City; and portions of San Francisquito Canyon, Sand Canyon, Whitney Canyon, and Placerita Canyon. The major natural features of the City’s adopted SOI include the Liebre Mountains south of the National Forest boundary, including Cruzan Mesa and portions of Tick Canyon, Mint Canyon, Bouquet Canyon and San Francisquito Canyon; and the San Gabriel Mountains north of the National Forest boundary, including portions of Sand Canyon and

CLWA has a water acquisition agreement with the Buena Vista Water Storage District (Buena Vista) and the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District (Rosedale-Rio Bravo) in Kern County. Under this Program, 11,000 AF of high flow Kern River water is annually delivered to CLWA at the California Aqueduct in Kern County. This water is then conveyed through the State Water Project to Castaic Lake. Since 2000, CLWA has worked hard to establish a diverse water portfolio. The Agency has five groundwater banking accounts in three separate programs. Two accounts are in the Semitropic Water Storage District Groundwater Banking Program. These accounts are short-term, ten-year accounts that were extended an additional ten years each. Both accounts contain excess SWP Table A water that must be delivered to the Agency (or another Agency groundwater account) prior to the end of the agreements. The Agency initiated participation in the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District Groundwater Banking Program. This program allows the storage of the Agency’s SWP Table A amount and other imported supplies. The Agency implemented a two-for-one exchange with the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District, whereby CLWA can recover one AF of water for each two AF banked.

  • Geology of Vasquez Rocks Researched and Compiled by Sarah Brewer
    Geology of Vasquez Rocks Researched and Compiled by Sarah Brewer Aerial view of the majority of Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, with State Route 14 Freeway visible in the lower right and Escondido Canyon Road (the road used to access the park) visible in the upper left. Note clearly visible sandstone layers which form the unique and dramatic landscape. Image ©Google Maps, 2016. The Rocks are located in what is known as the Soledad Basin, which sits cradled to the south of the smaller Sierra Pelona Mountains, and to the west and north of the more well-known, larger San Gabriel Mountains. Soledad Canyon runs to the south of the park, Mint Canyon runs to the north, and Agua Dulce Canyon runs north to south right through the Vasquez Rocks area. The distinctive formations in the Vasquez Rocks area were actually formed through a relatively simple process, and the clues to its creation are still visible all around. Over the course of the past 25 million years (the most commonly agreed-upon age by geologists), vast amounts of sediment (sand, soil, rocks, and organic materials) were brought downward into the Soledad Basin by events such as rains, flooding, landslides, wind, and earthquakes from the surrounding San Gabriel and Sierra Pelona Mountains. As these materials were deposited on the basin’s floor, they would settle flat on the ground surface, and as years passed, new deposits covered the older ones, eventually placing them under tremendous amounts of pressure. With this pressure, the deeper layers became solidified, turning into what we know as sandstone.

  • Vasquez Rocks (1)
    48 May 2009 City Employees Club of Los Angeles, Alive! s Angel’ Angel Gomez, Director of Member Be e! Services Aliv Vasquez 1 Rocks Hello again! First, I want to thank readers for following this column in Alive! It is truly a pleasure to go out and cover interesting places to visit and explore. So far, we have explored beach paths, bike paths, moun- tains trails and islands off the coast (Catalina Island). This month, we travel north of Los Angeles to Vasquez Rocks (1). This natural area park is 905 acres acquired by LA County in the 1970s. It is in the Agua Dulce vicinity between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley, just north of Los Angeles and seen easily by motorists driving the Antelope Valley Freeway. Vasquez Rocks has been used innumerable times in motion pic- tures, various television series and in moving and still photography advertisements, and continues to be used asquez Rock Sign and in them today (2). Angel standing in front of the V 2 entrance to the park History: The rock formations are part of the San Andreas Fault (3). In 1873 and 1874 Tiburcio Vasquez — one of California’s most notorious bandits — used these rocks to elude capture by law enforcement. His name has since been associated with this geolog- ic feature. Vasquez Rocks was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 due to its significance as a prehistoric site for the Shoshonean and Tataviam peoples. Activities: Climbing the large sloped rocks is the most popular activity. Other activities include a history trail tour of its previous visitors, the Tataviam Indians and Spanish settlers.

  • 3.6 Aesthetics
    3.6 AESTHETICS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This section describes those resources that define the visual character and quality of the City’s Planning Area. The City’s Planning Area consists of its incorporated boundaries and adopted Sphere of Influence (SOI). The County’s Planning Area consists of unincorporated land within the One Valley One Vision (OVOV) Planning Area boundaries that is outside the City’s boundaries and adopted SOI. Together the City and the County Planning Areas comprise the OVOV Planning Area. Resources within the City’s Planning Area as well as the surrounding County’s Planning Area include a variety of natural and man- made elements and the viewsheds to those elements that serve as visual landmarks and contribute to the unique character of the City’s Planning Area. Although specific visual resources in the City’s Planning Area are identified in this section, it is not intended to provide an exhaustive inventory, as the nature of these resources is somewhat subjective and not easily quantified. Implementation of the proposed General Plan would increase development within the Santa Clarita Valley, which, if unregulated, would contribute to the obstruction of views, damage scenic resources, conflict with the community’s rural character, and generate substantial levels of light and glare. However, some of the proposed General Plan policies that would ensure the protection of scenic resources and corridors, promote quality construction that enhances the City’s urban form, increase open space, and landscaping, and limit light overspill. For these reasons, implementation of the City’s General Plan on aesthetics would be less than significant.
