Title

Old Sacramento State Historic Park and California State Railroad Museum General Plan

Description

DPR has developed the OSSHP General Plan to define and evaluate proposed land uses, facilities, concessions, management and operation of the state historic park, and any environmental effects associated with implementing the General Plan. The General Plan will serve as the guide for future development, management and operation of OSSHP. The OSSHP Planning area is located along the east bank of the Sacramento River in the City of Sacramento, and encompasses the California State Railroad Museum and several historic buildings in Old Sacramento, and a large grassy area at the corner of I Street and Front Street, which is referred to as the 1849 Scene. In addition, DPR leases the land housing the Central Pacific Railroad Freight Depot and Market. The planning area also includes over 14 miles of a historic railroad line and associated right-of-way that extend south from OSSHP along the east bank of the Sacramento River, through Land Park and south Sacramento County, to the small community of Hood in the Delta; and lands in the Railyards which will house the future Railroad Technology Museum. The General Plan will serve as the Guide for future development, management and operation of the OSSHP planning area. It includes five distinct management zones and specific land use concepts for each zone. It also includes a detailed set of goals and guidelines for facilities; and circulation, access and parking. An EIR was prepared for the project which identified significant and unavoidable effects related to long term operational noise and noise with regards to adjacent land use, related to proposed expansion of excursion train operations.
