BACK ROUNDIREASONS_EQR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Carquinez Strait Resource Plan was prepared under the direction of the California
State Lands Commission following the formation of an intergovernmental initiative with
local agencies - Cities, Counties, Local and Regional Park Districts - as a means to better
coordinate and integrate recreation, public access, and public resource management along
both sides of the Carquinez Strait (see attached plan document with biege cover and spiral
binding). The Carquinez Strait Resource Plan is the result of a planning process that
was begun in 1994 when local agencies, including Contra Costa County, entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)with the State Lands Commission, which provided
for the development of this plan. The MOU established the Carquinez Strait Resources
Coordinating Council, comprised of State officials and elected officials from local agencies,
to guide development of the plan. When the Board of Supervisors approved the MOU in
1994, Supervisor for District 11 was appointed as the County's representative to the
Carquinez Strait Resources Coordinating Council and staff from Community Development
Department was assigned to the Coordinating Council's Technical Advisory Committee.
For the most part the plan document is a compilation of the existing plans, policies, and
programs from each of the participating agencies. Staff from the Community Development
Department have reviewed the plan, and, aside from a few minor and nonsubstantive
errors and omissions, they have found that the plan document is generally consistent with
the County's adopted plans, policies, and programs for this area, and does not commit the
County to a new unfunded mandate.
It my recommendation, in my capacity as the County's representative on the Carquinez
Strait Resources Coordinating Council, that the Board of Supervisors formally accept the
plan, support the plan in concept, and approve the plan as a referenced planning
document to be used by the Community Development and Public Works departments as
a resource in land use planning and the development of public facilities along the
Carquinez Strait. It is also recommended that the Community Development Director be
directed to forward a certified copy of this Board Report/Resolution to the California State
Lands Commission and other member agencies of the Carquinez Strait Resources
Coordinating Council in fulfillment of the County's obligations under the MOU, which
established the Carquinez Strait Resources Coordinating Council and provided for
development of the Carquinez Strait Resource Plan.
Furthermore, consistent with approval of the Carquinez Strait Resource Plan, the Board
of Supervisors is also asked to support the potential transfer of the Ozol Fuel Supply
Center site to the East Bay Regional Park District when decommissioned by the U.S.
Department of Defense in order to provide a location for the connecting link between the
San Francisco Bay Trail and the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The Ozol Fuel Supply Center site,
located at the end of Carquinez Scenic Drive just west of the City of Martinez, which was
identified and recommended in the Carquinez Strait Resource Plan, the Park District's
Master Plan, and the ABAC Bay Trail Plan, could provide a direct connection between the
Bay Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail in Contra Costa County.
