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.

    IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS G. LAND USE ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The 887-acre Canyon Hills project site is located in the northeastern portion of the City. The project site lies within the Verdugo Mountains, a mountain range that covers an area of approximately 25 square miles.1 The Verdugo Mountains are geographically defined by the San Fernando Valley and the La Tuna Canyon and Tujunga Canyon drainages to the west, the Los Angeles Basin to the south, the San Gabriel Valley and the Arroyo Verdugo drainage to the east, and the communities of Sunland and Tujunga, which lie at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, to the north. The project site is an irregular-shaped property that extends along a southeast to northwest axis, and is roughly bounded by Verdugo Crestline Drive2 on the north and La Tuna Canyon Road on the south. Interstate 210 bisects the project site in an east-west direction dividing it into a northern subarea (“Development Area A”) of approximately 492 acres and a southern subarea (“Development Area B”) of approximately 395 acres. Existing Land Uses The project site contains steep mountainous terrain with local relief changes in excess of 500 vertical feet. Land elevations range from approximately 1,160 to 2,064 feet above sea level. Natural slope gradients roughly range from 3:1 to as steep as 0.75:1 (horizontal:vertical). Steep “V” shaped canyons are abundant throughout the project site. The proposed project site is bisected by Interstate 210. The portion of the freeway that passes through the project site was constructed in the early 1970s.

  • 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.

  • 5.15 Recreation
    SAN BERNARDINO COUNTYWIDE PLAN DRAFT PEIR COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO 5. Environmental Analysis 5.15 RECREATION This section of the San Bernardino County (County) Countywide Plan (CWP or Project) Program Environmental Impact Report describes the regulatory framework, existing conditions, and the potential for environmental impacts related to parks and recreations. 5.15.1 Environmental Setting 5.15.1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND Federal National Park Service The National Park system is considered to have begun in 1872 when Congress established Yellowstone National Park under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the “Organic Act” to create the National Park Service to “promote and regulate the use of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments and reservations” and to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Wilderness Act of 1964 In the Wilderness Act of 1964, Congress directed certain federal agencies to study lands they administer for inclusion in a system of preserved wildernesses where no extractive activities can occur. Wilderness designation ensures the resources are managed to retain their “primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation.” Wilderness areas are open to hiking and, in some cases, horseback riding, backpacking, and other nonmechanical recreation. The Wilderness Act prohibits permanent roads and commercial enterprises, except in some instances related to recreation and safety. California Desert Conservation Area Plan The California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan was approved in 1980 in accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.
