Alternatives Analysis
DRAFT NCCP/MSAA/HCP APPENDIX P ‘B’ Alternatives Analysis Note to Reader: The comparative alternatives analyses in this Appendix combine Habitat Reserve and Supplemental Open Space (SOS) acres because both are designated open space. The Habitat Reserve and SOS are identical for all areas outside of Rancho Mission Viejo (RMV) property. The more refined conservation analysis presented in Part I, Chapter 13 for the RMV, County of Orange and San Margarita Water District (SMWD) proposed Covered Activities separates the Habitat Reserve and SOS components because Habitat Reserve open space will be managed under the Habitat Reserve Management Program (HRMP) described in Part I, Chapter 7. SOS will not be subject to management under the HRMP. All figures referenced in this Appendix are located in the NCCP/MSAA/HCP Part IV, Map Book. SECTION 1.0 ALTERNATIVE B-8 SECTION 1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE B-8 ALTERNATIVE (FIGURE 129-M) 1.1.1 Overview of Major Landscape and Habitat Reserve Planning Features of the Proposed Habitat Reserve on RMV Property a. Major Landscape Features In comparison with the B-10M and B-12 Alternatives, the B-8 Alternative proposes to maximize the open space on RMV lands with the result that County housing needs are addressed to a far lesser extent than in any of the other Alternatives. Alternative B-8 identifies Chiquita Canyon, Verdugo Canyon and all of the RMV portion of the San Mateo Creek Watershed as open space. All of the habitat linkages and wildlife movement corridors identified in the Draft Southern Planning Guidelines and Draft Watershed Planning Principles would be protected (Figure 156- M). -

Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park County of Orange, California
LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AUGUST 2009 ALISO AND WOOD CANYONS WILDERNESS PARK COUNTY OF ORANGE, CALIFORNIA 7.0 PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION MANAGEMENT 7.1 INTRODUCTION The location of AWCWP within a growing metropolitan area with good highway access and opportunities for use year-round have made it an extremely popular recreation destination for local residents and regional, national, and international visitors alike. The park offers many opportunities for recreation use, including hiking, running, mountain cycling, equestrian use, nature viewing, birding, painting, photography, and wilderness education with an extensive network of trails. Hitching rails located at the park entrance, Wood Canyon at Mathis Trail, and at the Old Sycamore Grove accommodate equestrian uses, and a rest area located under the Sycamore Trees provides for small gatherings in the park. Among the permitted uses in the park, mountain cycling is the most popular. In fact, mountain cycling had been a common use in Aliso and Wood Canyons prior to the establishment of the AWCWP. Mountain cycling activities, both past and present, are indicative of the high public demands for open natural terrain in the county. The fact that the park site borders on so many different communities has resulted in increased demands on the site as a valuable open space resource. These demands can be expected to increase in future decades as the population in Orange County continues to grow and open space areas continue to diminish. Given the definition of Wilderness Park, public access and recreation are considered secondary to the primary goal of protecting and restoring the natural and cultural resources of the park. -
