Present Land Use
The project site is located within the Russian Ridge Open Space Reserve and consists of three non-contiguous undeveloped improvement areas immediately west of Alpine Road. General Plan: General Open Space and Zoning: Resource Management District (RM)
Document Description
The proposed project includes the development of an approximately 1.75-acre staging area and commemorative site, two new trails totaling approximately 2.2 miles in length, and associated improvements. The project would also close a 1-mile stretch of the existing multi-use Mindego Ridge Trail to bicycle use to protect the federally-endangered San Francisco garter snake. The staging area would include parking for 20 vehicles, an unpaved special event parking area, trailhead, and restroom. The commemorative site would consist of an ADA-compliant pathway, an accessible view platform, and a second painting/viewing platform, both providing views of Mindego Hill and the Pacific Ocean. The new "Ancient Oaks Connector Trail" would be constructed to link the staging area to an existing trail network to the north, and the new "Mindego Hill Trail" would connect the existing Mindego Ridge Trail to the summit of Mindego Hill.
