Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR May 2012 Big Basin Redwoods State Park • Conduct additional site-specific surveys, as necessary, to identify natural and cultural resource sensitivities and protective measures, and prepare site plan(s) to determine the location, size, and configuration of desired public use and park operations facilities. • Address public health and safety issues, accessibility requirements, aesthetics, interpretation, and management of visitor capacity. • Develop a bicycle camp and walk-in campground facilities at a location either adjacent to the horse camp or in an open area along the existing road north of the day use parking lot. Consider alternative forms of camp facilities, such as yurts or tent cabins, with provisions to serve backpackers and touring bicyclists utilizing the Highway 1 Pacific Coast Trail. • Retain park staff residences for public safety and protection of public property. • Rehabilitate the Nature and History Center building, parking and support facilities, as necessary, to serve as the primary interpretive center for RDO. Prepare site-specific plans to define day use parking, circulation, picnic areas, accessible restroom facilities, and use of outdoor open space areas for visitor education and interpretive programs. • Repair and upgrade the current potable water supply and distribution systems to existing and new park buildings and key visitor locations. • Conduct visitor and potential user surveys to determine future visitor needs and recreation demands for day use and overnight facilities in RDO and coastal areas to the north. Additional campground development (accessible from Highway 1) may be considered in the RDO area, if additional properties suitable for this use became available from willing sellers. Little Basin • Upgrade and expand utility systems and infrastructure to support recreational activities, such as camping (including cabins), hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, interpretive programs and group activities, including special events. Consider program needs for a possible environmental education center. • Complete resource inventories and evaluations, and implement resource protection measures where needed. Remove or relocate existing facilities, as necessary, to preserve and protect sensitive and significant natural and cultural resources. ES -8 Executive Summary
Big Basin Redwoods State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR May 2012 • Upgrade and/or modify existing facilities to satisfy operational needs and to meet ADA accessibility requirements. • Interpret resource values and site history of Little Basin property. • Consider a concession-developed and operated overnight lodge with dining facilities and additional cabins. • Coordinate with Santa Cruz County to identify road improvements and county maintenance that may be necessary to maintain public vehicle access on Little Basin Road from Highway 236 to the Little Basin property. Staff considers public recreation opportunities at Little Basin MANAGEMENT PLANS Major programs and projects implemented during the lifespan of the General Plan will require additional planning. This planning will take the form of management plans or specific project plans. Management plans define the specific objectives, methodologies and/or designs for accomplishing management goals. Occurring on an as-needed basis, they typically focus on specific management topics, goals, or issues. Management plans can apply to all, or part, of a park unit. They usually include program-level decisions that describe how and when management actions are appropriate and necessary and they are often based on funding and staffing capabilities. Some of the goals and guidelines comprising Chapter 4, Park Plan, recommend preparing and updating specific management plans and more detailed site investigations subsequent to the adoption of the General Plan, including the following: Executive Summary ES -9
