Draft EIS/EIR for the San Luis Reservoir SRA Resource ...

4. Plan Overview
• Secondary Interpretive Period—Rancho San Luis Gonzaga: 1843-1962.
This period starts with the granting of the land to the Pacheco family,
through the final loss of the valley via condemnation under eminent
domain to build the dam.
Goal VIS-I3
• Prepare an interpretive plan in order to provide a variety of interpretive
and educational services that celebrate the Plan Area, the region’s cultural
history, and its unique and representative natural resources.
Guidelines
• Pursue enhancement of interpretive opportunities with a mix of programs
(such as guided tours, campfire programs, lectures, school field trips, or
other similar programs), media (such as publications and audio-visual
programs) and facilities (such as interpretive signage, outdoor exhibits,
Basalt Quarry, visitor’s center and other similar venues).
• Consider partnerships with DWR to optimize the use of the Romero
Visitor’s Center and other water operation facilities for interpretive
purposes.
4.2.2.4 Concession Opportunities (VIS-C)
Goal VIS-C1
• Provide concession opportunities that support the purpose and vision for
the Plan Area and enhance the visitor experience.
Guidelines
• Identify concessions that add to the capacity of Plan Area staff and clearly
implement desired visitor programs beyond what CSP is capable of
achieving.
• While considering the needs of recreational user groups and
concessionaires, craft concession plans that are based on visitor use and
demand and that serve a viable population.
• Choose concessions that best exemplify the character and needs of the use
area and enhance the ability to provide a quality visitor experience while
meeting other Plan goals.
4.2.3 Local and Regional Planning
Local and regional planning encompasses coordination and cooperation with
landowners, advisory boards, regulatory agencies, and municipalities in the
vicinity of the Plan Area. The land around the Plan Area and visitors to the
facilities and in the region are continually changing and can affect the use and
condition of the Plan Area. Issues and topics related to local and regional planning
are defined and described in Chapter 3 and are presented in this section under the
following categories:
