Title

Rio de Los Angeles State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR

Description

The Department of Parks and Recreation (California State Parks) proposes to adopt a General Plan and programmatic Environmental Impact Report for the proposed park. The following is a summary of the proposed project: The General Plan has been prepared to guide future development activities and management objectives of the 37-acre Rio de Los Angeles State Park. The park site is located on two separate parcels adjacent to the Los Angeles River, referred to as Parcel D (20 acres) and Parcel G-1 (17 acres). The General Plan does not cover the remaining 20 acres on Parcel D that have been leased to the City of Los Angeles to develop and manage active recreational facilities. The General Plan proposes a variety of traditional passive park uses such as habitat restoration, multi-purpose trails, special event areas, nature center, gardens, picnic areas, and other compatible uses. Interpretive and educational facilities would focus on the site's natural history and the nearby Los Angeles River. Transitional open space zones are provided to buffer the park from the adjacent City park Los Angeles River. Transitional open space zones are provided to buffer the park from adjacent City park uses and trail connections are provided to connect the park to other regional open space and recreational areas.
