McIntyre Ranch Master Plan Comments and Responses for Mitigated Negative Declaration (July 2010)

June 1, 2009

Vallejo, California

The Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) has released a Draft Master Plan for improvement of its 22 acre McIntyre Ranch property, located in the hills just northeast of the City. The draft plan has been circulated for public review. The Draft Master Plan and related appendices can be viewed at the District office or downloaded from the District’s website [www.gvrd.org].

The scenic McIntyre Ranch seems worlds away from urban Vallejo, though it is just over the ridge. It is surrounded by over 900 acres of open space owned by the Solano Land Trust. The ranch features an old barn and stone tack house, a newer stable building, and a deteriorated main house that is slated to be demolished. The Master Plan envisions group picnicking, continuing equestrian activities, youth camping, group retreats, a ropes course and potentially demonstration farming and gardening activities. The old main house is envisioned to be replaced by a multi-purpose nature center/conference facility.

The Draft Master Plan reflects public comments from a Board workshop held November 14, 2007 to review existing conditions at the ranch, and ideas and comments about its potential use. The Board is expecting to finalize the elements to be included in the Master Plan, which will then be reviewed in an environmental document to address the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA document will be circulated for public comments for 30-day notice of intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration from June 8th to July 9th. The response to comments/proposed final CEQA document and the proposed final Master Plan will return to the Board for final review. A public hearing will be held at the Board Meeting on June 25, 2009.
