  • MASTER PLAN SETTING Harkins Slough
    SECTION THREE CONTENTS 3.1 Introduction 3-2 3.2 Opportunity and Constraint Methodology 3-7 3.3 Northern Reach Description 3-8 3.4 Central Reach Description 3-10 3.5 Watsonville Reach Description 3-12 3.6 Existing Activity Centers 3-14 This section provides a detailed description of the Master Plan area with supporting key maps identifying the trail network segments. SECTION THREE MASTER PLAN SETTING Harkins Slough 3.1 INTRODUCTION The Master Plan area stretches the entire length of Santa Cruz County from the Pajaro River in Watsonville to the San Mateo County line north of Davenport. The trail has the opportunity to connect the scenic coastal bluffs in the north county to the urban areas of Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Aptos, and to traverse the rural agricultural and open space lands of south county. As shown in Figure 3-1, the Master Plan area is organized into three large subareas or “reaches:” Northern Reach, Central Reach, and Watsonville Reach. The Santa Cruz Branch Line right-of-way, now owned by the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC), is a defining feature of the area. The railroad corridor will provide the primary spine for the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network (MBSST Network) through Santa Cruz County. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk The railroad generally runs along the coast, parallel to the Pacific Ocean, except where it turns inland near Manresa State Beach. From there, the tracks run inland toward Watsonville, and ultimately end at the Watsonville Junction in Monterey County. The railroad right-of-way, which is the subject of this Master Plan, is a 32-mile continuous stretch of travel corridor, providing a unique opportunity to create a transportation and recreational link between existing trails and transportation facilities in Santa Cruz County.

  • Memorandum Introduction
    ATTACHMENT E MEMORANDUM To: Stephanie Strelow From: Brock Ortega Subject: Analysis of Impacts to Near-Shore Marine Biological Resources due to Lighting Associated with the Planned Santa Cruz Wharf Master Plan Improvements, Santa Cruz, California Date: October 13, 2016 Attachment(s): Figure 1 – Proposed Master Plan Lighting Figure 2 – Existing Lighting Figure 3 – Lighting Analysis for Santa Cruz Wharf Expansion – Before and After Comparison This memorandum analyzes the potential impact of light on near-shore biological resources associated with proposed Santa Cruz Wharf Master Plan (Master Plan) improvements. The intent is to address general public comments related to potential lighting impacts associated with the project. The analysis is based on general information provided within the Wharf Master Plan (Roma Design Group, October 2014), literature review, review of aerial and other photographic evidence, and known biological information from the site and vicinity. No specific design lighting layouts or lighting specifications/modeling (e.g., light contours) were completed or provided as part of this assessment. INTRODUCTION The Santa Cruz Wharf (Wharf) is located at the northern edge of Monterey Bay, in the City of Santa Cruz (see Figure 1-1 in the Initial Study). It is at the hub of many retail, recreational and commercial uses in the Beach Area. Lighthouse Point is situated approximately 0.65 mile to the west, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is situated to the east near the Wharf entrance and faces the Main Beach and Monterey bay. The Boardwalk and its many rides, including the “Giant Dipper” rollercoaster, is illuminated every night between May and September and weekends and holidays during the rest of the year.
