TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS / .� .

FROM: Anthony A. Dehaesus Costa
Director of Planning
DATE: March 6, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Carquinez Strait Shoreline Park
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Endorse the creation of Carquinez Strait Shoreline Park and approve action to aid in the
acquisition of the park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A minor amount of staff time to.work with funding agencies toward implementation.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On March 5, 1985 the Board referred the February 26, 1985 letter from the Port Costa Town
Council to me for a report on how the County could assist on the creation of the Carquinez Strait
Shoreline Park.
The Board of Supervisors on April 8, 1980 previously.endorsed the concept of a new state park
"south of Carquinez Strait between Crockett and Martinez" as part of its recommendation on
Proposition One on the June 1980 ballot (a State Park Bond Issue). Additionally, a major park
facility in this area is already encouraged in both the Port Costa and Crockett Area General
Plans.
It would be appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to endorse citizen efforts to acquire land,
construct facilities, and open for public use a Carquinez Straits Shoreline Park. Initially, the park
would be located immediately adjacent to the Town of Port Costa but could be expanded to
include lands extending from Crockett to Martinez north of State Route 4.
In an effort to fulfill this desire to see the Carquinez Straits Shoreline Park concept implemented,
the Board should:
- Endorse the creation of the Carquinez Strait Shoreline Park
- Direct the County Planning Department to work with State and regional agencies along with
citizen groups toward establishing the park.
- Authorize the State Coastal Conservancy to actively pursue park implementation, such
authorization is required from the County by Section 31006(x) of the State Public Resources
Code.
Request the assistance of our County's legislators in the fundin of this park and to
encourage the State Department of Parks and Recreation t underta a feasibility study of
a State Park in the area.
