CITY OF MOORPARK STAFF
FROM: SONIA THOMPSON, MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY STAFF
DATE. JUNE 21, 1990
SUBJECT: RIM OF THE VALLEY TRAIL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN
Thank you for providing this opportunity to share with you the Rim of the Valley Corridor Master
Plan. A copy is attached for your review.
The plan evolved over the last seven months, beginning with the passage of AB 1516.
The planning process included round$ of public meetings beginning on December 4, 1989,
extensive press coverage, meetings with local, state, and federal plammngf park staff members, and
with user groups, individuals, and property owners having knowledge of and interest in the
ressmme. Seven of those meetings were in the Eastern Ventura County area.
The purpose of the planning process was to create a workprogram for the
Conservancy's expenditure of funds over the next ten years_ The Conservancy's
funds are primarily from Bond Acts such as the 1988 California Parklands Act and the recent Prop.
117.
As you know, the Conservancy acquires, and gives grants to local governments and
nonprofit organizatiocus to acquire and improve or provide:
*parks, open space preserves, wildlife habitat;
* trwls and hw1heads;
*passive recreation and education facilities, such as picnic areas, tranlhead restrooms,
nature centers; nature trail informational signs;
*programs such as nature education and docent training, habitat restoration, trans maps or
nature education brochures, habitat study (such as the 19 month wildlife corridor study
being completed by biologist from the Nature Conservancy).
One of the major components of the attached Master Plan is a list of recommended projects to
provide parks, trails, wildlife habitat and the programs described above, through direct action by
the Conservancy or grants to local governments and nonprofits. The list of projects was compiled
from input received during the previous seven months. The Master Plan also includes
recommendatimns for boundary adjustments to enable the Conservancy to fund the projects on the
list. Projects in the Eastern Ventura County area include habitat and open space preservation,
trails, and nature education programs, including:
*A trail north of Simi Valley from Rocky Peak to Happy Camp continuing south along the
Fwy 119 -123 connector right of way to the Arroyo Simi and on to the Tierra Rejada
Valley.
*Open space preserve in the Tierra Rejada Valley.
*A trail west to connect the Tierra Rejada area with the Santa Rosa Valley
*Trail connections south from the Tierra Rejada Valley to the parks on the Simi Hills
Ridge.
*Nature education programs in the area (such as docent programs in Happy Camp
Canyon).

Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor Master Plan
Summary of Final Draft May 18, 1990
The preparation of the following Master Plan is the direct result of AB 1516 authored
by Assemblyman Katz which was approved by the Legislature and signed by Governor
Deukmejian in 1989. The Master Plan is intended to guide both the Mountains
Conservancy and the Legislature over the next five to ten years in preserving
important resources within the Rim Corridor and providing public recreation.
The legislation requires the preparation of the plan, specifies elements which must be
included, requires a number of public hearings, and establishes a deadline for
reporting back to the Legislature. The specific requirements have been met in
accordance with the legislation.
Eleven public hearings were held by the Mountains Conservancy, as required in the
legislation. These were well attended by elected officials, agency and group
representatives as well as the general public. The suggestions and ideas regarding plan
elements and needs of the area make up the backbone of the Master Plan which is
hereby presented.
The primary components of the Master Plan are the Rim of the Valley Trail and an
interlocking system of wildlife habitats and open space areas which provide a corridor
connection between the Santa Monica Mountains, the Santa Susana Mountains, the
Sespe Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains. Those interrelated components create a
major recreation resource and a wildlife link vital to the long -term health and
diversity of this region of southern California. Numerous special opportunities exist
within this area and when joined together they represent an overall project of
tremendous statewide significance.
The major components of the Master P ".an include:
1. The Rim of the Valley Trail, which completely encircles the San Fernando and La
Crescenta valleys and unifies the various parts of the corridor recreational system.
2. A wildlife corridor which connects she Santa Monica, Santa Susana, Sespe and
San Gabriel Mountains. This will provide for long term biological diversity and
will incorporate major habitat areas along the way, including the Santa Susana
Mountains State Park, Rocky Peak : nd the Santa Clarita Woodlands.
I Periodic access trails and trail heads which provide convenient points of access
with companion facilities for all us, -s.
4. Major access and loop trails which .onnect the Rim Trail with important natural
and historic areas including: Santa Anita Canvon, Santa Clarita Woodlands,
SMNiC Final Drait o/ t 1,90
t
Placerita Canyon State /County Park, Happy Camp County Park and Santa Susana
Mountains State Park.
S. Additional wildlife and scenic open space areas throughout the corridor area.
These lesser spaces will also be connected to the primary wildlife corridor between
the mountains.
6. Recommendations for major recreational area improvements for future
development at Hansen Dam, Happy Camp, Chatsworth Reservoir and Devil's
Gate. These will provide large regional park facilities which are also connected to
the Rim system by trails.
'• Recommendations for special use trails for nature study and for special
populations such as the physically impaired.
8. Recommendations for a chain of ca�- npsites along the Rim Trail to accommodate
users on extended trips.
9. Proposals for information and interpretive programs to ensure that all residents of
the region have access to the parks, to inform users, and to foster good stewardship
of the resource.
10. Specific recommendations for a series of boundary adjustments are proposed as a
means of incorporating the important projects and additions for the Rim of the
Valley Corridor system. The recommendations are: a boundary adjustment
easterly to Santa Anita Canyon; westerly to the join the Conservancy Zone
boundary at Calleguas Creek; and boundary adjustments to include areas north of
Simi Valley and the proposed Santa Clarita Woodlands Park.
This Master Plan is a combination of all the elements found in this report, i.e.,
I. The definitions, objectives and criteria
2. The plan, as described in the text and illustrated in the figures
3. The proposed project list
4. The proposed boundary adjustments

INTRODUCTION
The study described in this report was authorized by Assembly Bill No 1516 of the
1989 -90 session of the California Legislature, relating to the Santa Monica Mountains
Conservancy Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor. The primary goal of that legislation,
and therefore this study, is to establish a "master plan ", or framework, for the activities
and expenditures of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (Conservancy) within
the general Rim of the Valley Corridor area over the next ten years.
The following section of this report describes the background of the Conservancy
which precedes AB 1516, while Section 2 considers in detail the language and
objectives of that proposed legislation. The process and methods used in the study are
presented in the third section, followed by a discussion of the Master Plan components
in the Section 4. Section 5 provides an overview of the complete Master Plan.
Criteria for prioritizing the projects is discussed in Section 6.
All projects considered in this study are listed in Appendix A and keyed to the 21
USGS topographical maps in Section 7 of this report. The maps indicate the location
of existing and proposed parks, trails and public open space. The list includes a
description of each proposed project and the source of the proposal.

Background

SECTION 1
BACKGROUND
THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY
The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy is a State agency created in 1980. Its goals
and activities, like those of the California Department of Parks and Recreation or the
National Park Service, center around both land preservation and providing
opportunities for recreation. There are, however, basic and important differences. The
Conservancy's range of activity is more extensive than either of those agencies or local
park agencies, including greater flexibility regarding land transactions. Also, the
Conservancy often uses its available funds in nontraditional ways by forming
partnerships with other agencies. As such, the Conservancy is the agency with
primary responsibilities for funding the acquisition of projects with statewide and
regional significance, as specified in the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor Plan of 1990
adopted pursuant to Section 33204.3 of the California Public Resources code. The
Conservancy undertakes acquisitions and provides grants to local governments and
non profit organizations for various combinations of planning, acquisition,
improvement, operation and maintenance of wildlife habitat and recreation resources.
The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy has filled a void between local govern-
ment and state and federal agencies by working on resources of major significance in a
locally relevant and sensitive manner, and by serving as a coordinator among citizen
groups, agencies and landowners.
THE RIM OF THE VALLEY TRAIL CORRIDOR
Legislation in 1983 extended the geographic limits of the Conservancy's authority to
encompass an area known as the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor (Corridor). The
name, the definition of its existing boundaries, and much of the impetus for the
Conservancy's involvement, came from a grass roots movement to protect the
aesthetic, recreation and wildlife resources of the foothills and mountains encircling
the San Fernando /La Crescenta.Valleys
The Corridor is essentially a defined planning area, a broad band circling the north,
east and west edges of the San Fernando/La Crescenta Valleys. It was created to
facilitate the development of an interlocking, connected system of public parks, trai16
and wildlife habitat preserves within the mountain areas. The backbone of that
system, the thread which would tie it together, was to be a multi use, long distance
trail —the Rim of the Valley Traill (Rim -[rail).
INote: One of the early versions of a trail named "The Rim of the Valley Trail" was
documented in a Master', thesis and copyrighted ','v Marge Feinberg.
SMNIC Final Drait r� 1 2190
Within the Corridor, the Conservancy has placed particular emphasis on a cooperative
approach — actions are taken basically at the request of the public or local government,
acquisitions are made from willing sellers, agreements are formed with other agencies
to jointly accomplish a project, and grants are made directly to local governments and
non profit groups.

AB 116: The Rim of The Valley Corridor Master Plan
SECTION 2
AB 1516
THE RIM OF THE VALLEY TRAIL, CORRIDOR FASTER PLAN
Recognizing the need for the preservation and connection of open space and wildlife
habitat and the maximum use of recreation resources, AB 1516 has set one primary
goal --the preparation of an overall, coordinated master plan for the recreational and
environmental resources of the Corridor area. Because of the Conservancy's unique
role and its relationship with other agencies, this is not a master plan in the traditional
sense. It does not define inflexible boundaries for acquisition and development of
facilities to then be retained and administered by the Conservancy. Instead this master
plan defines objectives and criteria for developing a system of trails and other
recreation facilities, and for preserving viable wildlife areas and corridors. That
approach allows program flexibility while avoiding fragmented and unbalanced
results.
MASTER PLAN REQUIREMENTS
AB 1516 specifically requires that the master plan include, but not be limited to, four
items. Those four items are listed below with additions indicated in bold. A summary
phrase has been added at the head of each item to simplify future reference to it. The
text in item three and the completely new item five, were added in order to include
projects requested by the public and local agencies. Item six is part of the legislation,
although not a requirement.
1. Existing general use trails. Identification of major hiking and equestrian trails and
important secondary and feeder trails that cross jurisdictional lines, and a priority
program for improving those trails.
2. Existing and proposed special use trails. Identification of special purpose trails,
where appropriate, for special population groups and special user groups, such as
mountain bicycles, where the special purpose trails will have no significant
environmental impact.
3. Proposed open space and facilities for recreation and wildlife habitat.
Identification of, and a priority program for implementing, those additional
recreation access and wildlife habitat conservation needs, including, new or
expanded trails that should be added to the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor, and
additional or upgraded facilities, parks, or open spaces that may be necessary.
4. Existing under utilized public open space. Identification of under used existing
public open spaces and recommendations for providing better public use and
enjoyment of these areas.
-t
S,NIMC Final Draft 6r 1 ?J90
I+
Proposed programs. Identification of programs for Conservancy participation
which do not require land acquisition or facility development, although they may
be associated with specific locations or facilities. Examples might be
educational/ training programs for park volunteers, transportation for groups to
park and open space areas or camping / interpretation programing for young
people.
6. AB 1516 also makes possible adjustments to the existing Corridor boundaries,
where necessary, to implement the above defined projects and programs of the
master plan.
Each of the six items outlined above is composed of three parts which:
1. Specify actions to be taken as part of this study.
2 Name tangible components or products of the master plan.
3. Imply future Conservancy action, directly, or in cooperation with other
government agencies or non profit organizations, to implement the master
plan.
Figure 1 illustrates the break down of each of the six items from AB 1516 into the three
parts named above, which are then summarized and reassembled under headings
consistent with discussions in the remainder of this report.

PROCESS /METHODS
Five actions comprise the process used in this study. Those actions— definition,
identification, location, recommendation and, prioritization- -and any methods or
assumptions used, are addressed in this section.
The ultimate goal of the process, the methods used and actions taken, is to develop a
Master Plan, with both physical and program elements, for Conservancy participation
in the Corridor.
DEFINITION
As a first step, definition included establishing the geographic boundaries of the study
area, and confirming the study goals. It was determined that the study area would
include the 175 square miles of the existing Corridor and the broad extensions
proposed by citizen groups and local governments before AB 1516 was proposed.

The primary goal of this study, as contained in the AB 1516, is to prepare an overall,
coordinated master plan for the Corridor area which will structure the activities of the
Conservancy for the next decade. The Conservancy itself is dedicated to providing
recreational opportunities for residents of the Los Angeles area valleys, and preserving
and interpreting important wildlife habitat in the surrounding foothills and
mountains.
Definitions of and criteria for terms used in the study are discussed more specifically in
the next section on Master Plan Components.
IDENTIFICATIONILOCATION
Identification was an essential part of all six items contained in AB 1516 (refer to
Section 2). Identification of potential projects was made on the basis of suggestions by
local agencies and the public in meetings, public hearings and questionnaires, and
from the consultant's field inspections and review of maps and resource material.
Summaries of meetings with local agencies, public hearings and the distributed
questionnaires, appear in the Appendices of this report. More specific information is
found in Appendix B, which contains the complete list of proposed projects and the
group or individual from whom the suggestion came.
In addition to the input from outside sources, Dangermond and Associates and the
Conservancy staff conducted a broad brush survey of the study area using available
sources of biological data, topographic and aerial maps. Those areas which seemed
likely projects, or where the sources were unclear, were then individually examined
more closely.
All known existing parks, trails and public open space, and all proposed acquisition,
development and improvement projects, are describedin Sections 6 and 7 of this
report. Proposed programs or planning projects that have no spatial component are
also described.
RECOMMENDATION
The overall responsibility of the consultant in this process was to ensure that the
Master Plan identify a coordinated and balanced approach to providing recreation and
preserving environmental resources in the Corridor area. The project
recommendations resulting from the process of definition, identification and location
are included in the Master Plan on the basis of their individual merits, but do not
result in a coordinated, overall plan. To fulfill that responsibility, it was necessary for
the consultant to develop a physical plan which, while incorporating all relevant
inputs from the public process, inciu.c;es recommendations for projects whose prima-
'S
5%1.%1C i'Inal Draft 6/12/90
purpose is to provide the necessary connections to create a complete system. The
overall Master Plan is described more fully in Section 5.
Criteria for resource quality were also necessary, as many projects are included without
specific boundaries or alignments, or with those definitions open to change. These
criteria are explained for each component of the Master Plan in the following section.
It was also clear early in the study, that the long list of proposed projects would require
adjustments to the boundaries of the Corridor. A discussion of those adjustments
appear in the following section_
PRIORITIZATION
Development of a physical plan and list of recommended projects does not fully satisfy
the requirement for a coordinated and balanced approach to Conservancy activity in
the Corridor when funds are limited. Therefore, criteria were developed to determine
priorities for allocating limited funds each year, based on the degree of significance or
impact of the project. The criteria have been used to establish priorities for the current
list of projects, and are intended to provide structure for the Conservancy for the
changing conditions likely to occur over the next ten years. Those criteria are
explained in greater detail in Section 6.

Section 4
Master Plan Components
SECTION 4
MASTER PLAN COMPONENTS
I" he Corridor Master Plan can be broadly divided into four categories: wildlife habitat;
recreation; programs; and boundary adjustments. Definitions, objectives and criteria
for each category are presented in this section.
These components must also be viewed wholistically in the final Luster Plan,
however, in order to create an interlocking and complementary system of wildlife
habitat and recreational facilities which is better than the sum of its parts. All the
components of the Master Plan, but particularly wildlife habitat and recreation, share
three objectives despite other differences: they must provide continuity, diversity and
access in order to function. These common objectives are discussed first in order to
establish an integrated view of the plan components.
Continuity. Continuity or linkage between all elements of a system, whether natural
or man made, must be maintained if the system is to survive. An interlocking,
continuous system of parks, trails and areas of preserved wildlife habitat, provides
maximum opportunities for recreation and is far more likely to support the survival
of native flora and fauna. Research has shown that even high quality habitat areas
lose species diversity when preserved in isolated patches.
While linkages and connections are essential, they are also particularly vulnerable. In
the urban context, for instance, roads and pipelines are means for moving vehicles,
water and waste from point to point in a continuous manner. If that continuity is
interrupted, the system ceases to perform its function. If the interruption were
permanent, not only would vehicles become useless, but all the other systems
dependent on their movement and the delivery of water and waste would also break
down.
The two interruptions, or barriers, most destructive to continuity of the Corridor
systems, are urban growth and road development. If identification and acquisition of
land for both recreation and wildlife is accomplished quickly, it is possible to prevent
urban growth from closing necessary connections and corridors forever. Barriers
caused by road development can be modified —not eliminated --more readily, if the
wildlife and recreation needs are recognized before the roads are planned or
constructed. In only a very few cases is it possible to establish safe crossings for
wildlife, equestrians and pedestrians after a road is constructed.
Diversity. Habitat must provide a variety of food sources and shelter in order to
support the mass and diversity of wildlife necessary to a self sustaining ecological
system. The recreation needs and preferences of a large urban population are also
diverse. A recreation system which provides access and continuity but only for hikers,
or only for swimmers, also rails to fulfill its func -ion.
SNINIC Final Draft t ego
Access. The major recreation facilities in the Corridor are generally remote from the
concentrations of residents who use them, therefore, facilities to provide convenient
access from population centers to recreation in the Corridor are necessary. Wildlife
access is tied very closely to diversity and continuity. Unlike the human seeking a
change of environment for recreation, wildlife does not choose a transition between
two totally different environmental conditions. Visual access from the urban areas is
also important. The preservation of open space in the mountains and foothills is
supported by many people who rarely if ever hike the trails or visit parks of the
system, but rather use the open vistas as relief from urbanization and rely on the open
space as a clean air bank.
WILDLIFE HABITAT
Wildlife habitat is quite simply the place where an animal lives and functions
naturally. Wildlife habitat is not simple, however. It is neither a static nor an artificial
landscape, but a dynamic community, the survival of which depends on maintaining
multiple interactions among plant and animal species and their physical
environment.
OBJECTIVES. Preservation, restoration and enhancement of significant habitat areas
is important to:
I. Conserve biological diversity
2. Minimize impacts to sensitive, threatened and endangered species
3. Maintain scenic resources, and contribute to recreational resources which
enhance residents' quality of life
Destruction of habitat is the single greatest cause of species loss, as well as the loss of
scenic and recreational amenities. One of the major goals of the Conservancy is to
preserve those important and sensitive habitats that make up the greater mountain
and foothill landscape surrounding the Los Angeles area valleys.
CRITERIA. Decisions about preservation, however, are complicated. Determining
the location and boundaries of wildlife habitat areas so that those communities can
continue to be self sustaining, requires detailed study. Although the necessarily
cursory nature of this study made such detailed research impossible, based on previous
and ongoing studies2, examples of riparian areas, marshlands, open grasslands, oak
woodland, conifer groves, coastal sage and chaparral were identified as potential
preservation areas.
2Note: Especially important is a wildlife corridor study by The Nature Conservancy completed in June
1990.
SNINIC Rnal Dram 6/12/90
(-i
The identification of recommended preservation areas in this study was based on four
factors:
1. Presence of threatened or endangered species or unique habitat.
2 Overall habitat quality and species diversity
3. Significance of area as an example of a native ecosystem
4. Significance of area as a connection between wildlife habitats.
Information used for identification and evaluation of sites is derived from field
review and available written sources. The descriptions and mapping of those wildlife
habitat corridors and areas in this study is very general, however. As potential projects
are considered for acquisition, restoration and /or enhancement, the Conservancy will
rely on the Nature Conservancy's wildlife corridor analysis and other studies as they
become available or necessary.
Further study should assess whether the project meets the original criteria and should
establish precise boundaries for the project. Those boundaries must encompass an
area of sufficient size and diversity to preserve a viable ecological system. As the
Conservancy has the dual objectives of providing recreational opportunities and
preserving wildlife habitat, further study should also specify the degree, type and
management requirements of recreational activity that can occur within the area
without serious impact to the wildlife or its habitat. This will be particularly
important in narrow corridors intended to accommodate multiuse trails and wildlife
movement between major open space areas.
The analysis should also suggest ways to mitigate any other potential conflicts
stemming from human activities within or adjacent to the area and determine
appropriate restoration or enhancement.
RECREATION
The nature of available information for this study made it possible to be more specific
about this second major objective of the Conservancy -- providing recreational
opportunities in the mountain areas. Nevertheless, the indicated location of proposed
recreational facilities can still be considered somewhat flexible and adjustable to the
variable constraints of jurisdictional and topographic boundaries.
Several types of recreational facilities — trails and trail corridors, staging areas or
trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas and developed parks -- exist, or are planned, in
the Corridor and described in the following paragraphs.
TRAILS AND TRAIL CORRIDORS. A trail is, by definition, limited to the dimensions
of the developed path or route conventionally used by equestrians and hikers. A trail
corridor, on the other hand, is the total width of area which buffers the trail from
12
SNVAC Final Draft e-1 I 2.,90
other types of land use. The long, narrow form of trails support lineal movement,
whether on foot, horseback or bikes.
Trails in the Corridor can be for general use -- hikers, equestrians, and mountain
bikers whenever possible --or special use. Special use trails are built to accommodate
users with limited physical abilities, such as those in wheel chairs or with limited
vision.
Trailheads or staging areas are usually relatively small areas adjacent to a road and a
trail with at least parking for cars, or contained within a large, multi use park. They
may include parking for horse trailers, water and restrooms as well.
Objectives. All trails in the Corridor have two objectives:
1. To provide opportunities for lineal recreation in a natural setting
2. To ensure continuity throughout the system
Additionally, however, each different type of trail has more speck objectives.
1. The objective of the special use trail is to include users with special
requirements in trail oriented recreation, whether that means special
construction standards and /or oolicy that reserves trails for particular use.
General use trails, and to a degree special use trails, in the Corridor are further
categorized by their function or objective within the Corridor system, as main Rim of
the Valley Trail, loop trail, access trail or local trail.
The objectives for the main Rim of the Valley Trail are:
1. To provide the major physical ',ink arnong the ecologically and aesthetically
important areas in the Corridor system
2. To provide opportunities for multi use trail recreation in a naturalistic setting
3. To generate the interest, challenge and variety possible with a long distance
trail
Loop trails should:
1. Connect important natural or cultural resources within the Corridor to the
Rim Trail system
2. Expand the diversity of recreation opportunity within the Rim Trail system
with the opportunity to go fro-,n the access point to the Rim trail and return by
a different route
13
SNINIC Rnal Draft c� 1 ?ice
The objective of the access trail is to:
I. Connect the trail user to the Rim Trail system
2. Provide a transition between developed, urban areas and the natural open
space of the Corridor area
The access trail need not provide an opportunity to return to the point of beginning by
a different route, as does a loop trail.
The objective of a Iocal trail is to :
I. Provide trail access within and through the urban areas. A local trail may have
no direct connection to the Rim of the Valley Trail, need not provide a
naturalistic setting and may be generally outside the Corridor boundary.
Criteria. The width, location and development standards established by this study for
both trails and trail corridors vary according the function they fulfill -- special use,
general use, Rim Trail, access trail, loop trail, or local trail network. Determining the
location of all trail routes, however, was based on considerations for:
1. The difficulty of trail construction in steep or rocky terrain
2. The potential impact of trail use on wildlife habitat
3. The possibility of using existing trails and fire roads
4. The necessity of avoiding environmentally sensitive areas
Criteria for the proposed Rim of the Valley Trail route were that it:
1) Should connect as many of the important parks and open space areas withi^
the Corridor as possible
2) Must provide the opportunity to travel the complete distance around the
valleys without interruption
3} Should be well buffered by natural open space
4) Should provide views of the valleys and natural surroundings
The primary criteria for locating loop trails was to provide:
1) Access to important natural or cultural resources at a distance from the Rim
Trail
2) The opportunity to return to the Rim Trail or access point along a different
route
3) Open space settings and views, particularly as the trail approaches the natural
or cultural resource which is its objective
I.1
S,NINIC Final Draft 6/12/go
Location for access trails was based on:
1. Placement of the beginning points at appropriate intervals along the
urban /Corridor interface
2. Connection to the Rim of the Valley Trail by as short a route as possible
3. Providing open space settings and views whenever possible
Existing and proposed local trails were selectively indicated on the USGS maps in
Section 7. All local trail routes, however, were chosen outside this study and no
criteria has been established for them.
TRAILHEADS, CNIMPGROUNDS, PICNIC AREAS AND DEVELOPED PARKS.
Trailheads or staging areas are essential components of a trail and open space system.
They provide facilities which allow the trail user to make the transition between
urbanized, vehicle oriented space and more natural areas where hiking, horseback
riding and mountain bikes are the modes of transportation. The facilities would
include at least parking for personal vehicles. Parking for vehicles with horse trailers,
water, restrooms, picnic areas or other facilities may also be provided.
Campgrounds in the Corridor are defined as designated locations for overnight stays
by users of the recreation system. A campground can vary from primitive — providing
minimal facilities and accessible only by trail --to highly developed. The developed ~ l
campground may have drive in facilities for recreational vehicles, full hook ups, a
camp store, hot showers, etc.
In the Corridor, picnic areas vary in size and are associated with another component of
the master plan. Picnic tables, water and space to barbecue, are usually provided.
"Developed park" is an extremely broad term which includes all those areas developed
for recreation not already named, such as an equestrian center, nature museum, par
course, fishing pond, ball fields, etc.
Objectives. By definition, the objective of a trailhead is to provide convenient
locations with appropriate facilities for urban residents wishing to use the trails within
the Corridor system.
Campgrounds should provide facilities for safe overnight use in a natural setting for
trail and park users. Picnic areas are have similar objectives except that they are
intended primarily for day use.
The primary objective of developed par':�s is to provide facilities for the multitude of
recreational needs not possible on the trails and in the more natural areas of the
Corridor.
S`1`tC !=?nai Draft bJ l X90
Criteria. Three criteria apply overall to these recreation components:
Locate as many of the recreation components as possible in a
single area. Proposed trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas
and parks in combination with other existing or proposed
recreational facilities increases the amount of activity in a
given location and makes more efficient use of the land. The
safety of recreation facility users and their property
increases when activity is greater. More concentrated
facilities mean more frequent patrols and /or larger staffing is
possible.
2. The level of development of the facility should relate to the
environmental sensitivity of the site, so that the most highly developed
facilities are located in areas most capable of withstanding the impacts.
3. Natural settings and surroundings should be maintained and
preserved whenever possible.
Trailheads should be located at the junction point between the urban and natural areas
of the Corridor system. In this Master Plan, that is on a road at the beginning of eac.'
identified access trail regularly positioned along the urban interface, as well as at
several points within the Corridor.
The plan recommends future study to locate campgrounds in the corridor using the
following criteria:
1. Spacing at suitable intervals for a variety of overnight trail users. Intervals of
6 to 12 miles for hikers and 12 ) 20 miles for equestrians and mountain bikers
2. Enough level area to accommodate campers and facilities appropriate to the
level of development and type >f user
3. Sited to avoid impacts on sensitive resources and critical wildlife areas
Campgrounds along the trails at some distance from an access point can be relatively
primitive. The most developed campgrounds should be associated with other highly
developed recreation facilities and adjacent to paved roads.
Locations for picnic areas have not been specifically indicated in this master plan.
Whenever possible, however, it is suggested that they be part of trailhead or developed
park facilities.
I6
SNENIC f=inal Draft 6/12/90
General locations for potential developed park areas —those containing facilities such
as an equestrian center, nature museum, picnic area, fishing pond, par course,
community center, etc. --have also been located on the USGS maps. The precise size of
the park, or the type of facilities provided, have not been specified and are beyond the
scope of this study.
PROGRAMS
Programs are neither visible in the landscape nor identifiable on the Master Plan
maps. Programs include all the activities the Conservancy could fund or engage in
which are not acquisition or improvement of land for wildlife habitat or recreation.
For instance, the Conservancy currently provides transportation for groups interested
in visiting parks in the corridor and Santa Monica Mountains area. Informational
material, agency coordination, nature education, and signage would also be considered
part of this category.
OBJECTIVES /CRITERIA. The objectives for any proposed program, and the criteria on
which it can be judged, are to:
1. Provide support for existing and proposed wildlife and recreation projects
within the Rim of the Valley Corridor
2. Stimulate coordination of planning efforts and standards for improvement
and management
3. Provide information on the Rim of the Valley Trail system, parks and wildlife
habitat
4. Increase understanding and appreciation of the environmental resources of
the Corridor
BOUNDARIES
Boundaries can be indicated on a map but, like programs, are not visible in the
landscape. The Corridor boundaries define the limits within which the Conservancy
can participate in projects.
OBJECTIVES /CRITERIA. The objective of making adjustments to the Corridor
boundaries is to enable the Conservancy to assist in the realization of proposed
wildlife habitat and recreation projects. Criteria for changing the boundaries were:
1. A request to do so from the citizens and local the agency with jurisdiction in
the area
2. Specific projects recommended for inclusion in the Master
Plan which would otherwise 1,W ;)utside the existing boundaries

Master Plan Recommendations
SECTION 5
MASTER PLAN REC0rWMENDAMNS
All of the background materials, public input and evaluations described in earlier
sections of this report have been directed at developing the overall piaster Plan
mandated by AB 1516. Ten items, which can be considered the major features and
recommendations of the plan, are described in this section.
The Rim of the Valley Trail. This trail is the major recreational element in the
Corridor:
• It completely encircles the San Fernando, La Crescenta, and Simi valleys and unifies
the various parts of the Corridor recreational system
• It is a multiuse trail open for use by hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers
wherever possible
• It is a long distance trail, offering a variety of experiences and scenic views
• Special signage and standards distinguish it from other trails in the Corridor trail
system
• Regular access and facilities support maximum use of the Rim Trail
The San Gabriel -Sespe -Santa Susana -Santa Monica Mountains wildlife corridor. This
system of open space is the most important environmental element in the Corridor
system:
• It provides ties between major wildlife areas —the San Gabriel, Sespe, Santa Susana,
and Santa Monica Mountain ranges —which are currently in danger of being entirely
separated from one another
• It ensures continuing biological diversity for native plants and animals of the region
• It incorporates existing freeway bridges and culverts which are the only potential
crossing points for wildlife movement
• It includes large areas of wildlife habitat in the Santa Susana Mountains such as
Rocky Peak and Santa Susana Parks and the proposed Santa Clarita Woodlands par*",,-
• The plan recommends incorporation of current studies and initiation of new
research if necessary, to determine preservation area boundaries and the best
methods of enhancement
Access trails and trailheads. They are the second most important recreational
element, and an essential ingredient in the Corridor recreation system:
• They provide conveniently placed points along the urban edge for the trail user to
park and move onto a trail that will reach into the Corridor
• They provide appropriate facilities for the type of trail use most likely in the area- -
such as parking for cars, bikes and horse trailers, restrooms, water, hitching rails, etc
• They may provide a pleasant trail setting, but function takes precedent over
aesthetics when a choice is necessary
?3
SNINIC =inal Drab -i/ I Jt?�)
• Trailheads should be combined with other types of park facilities, which decreases
the potential of vandalism and provides additional activities for trail and park users
Loop trails and new section of the Rim of the Valley Trail. These trails offer additional
recreational opportunities:
*They provide trail access to important historical, cultural or open space areas within
the region that are not located directly on the suggested Rim of the Valley Trail route
*They bring the whole recreation system in the Corridor closer to more communities
of the region including Sierra Madre, Simi, Santa Rosa valley, Santa Clarita, and
Moorpark
Expanded wildlife habitat and scenic open space areas. The Master Plan makes
provision for preserving the most important wildlife and scenic resources of the
Corridor.
• A number of lesser corridors are recommended to prevent the isolation and the
resulting endangerment of wildlife habitat, in addition to the San Gabriel -Santa
Monica Mountains corridor
• Foothills along the urban edge, and ridges and peaks visible from the valleys should
be preserved for the views they provide from the densely populated valleys
• Broad buffers of natural vegetation along trails and surrounding developed park
facilities, should be preserved to enhance both the scenic and wildlife values of the
Corridor
Major recreational areas. Large, more developed park areas recommended in the
Master Plan provide a variety of recreational opportunities not appropriate for the
natural areas:
• Existing public lands such as Hansen Dam area, Happy Camp, Chatsworth
Reservoir, and Devil's Gate offer substantial opportunities for park development
and are currently underutilized. The 'Master Plan recommends improvements in
those areas.3
• A nature center facility is recommended for the north east valley at either Hansen
Dam or Veterans Memorial park.
Special use trails. These trails provide recreation opportunities for users who may
otherwise have limited use of or be excluded from the major trail system in the
Corridor.
• It is recommended that gentle, well graded trails for use by those with limited
physical abilities be developed in the lower open space areas of the Verdugo
3Note: Improvements are not specified in this Master Plan and will be determined by future
study based on recreational needs.
SNEMC Final Drat[ 6/13/90
Mountains and San Rafael Hills, as well as unspecified locations at intervals in the
foothills of the Corridor area
Chain of campsites. Opportunities for overnight camping increase the recreational
value of the corridor by:
• Providing at least minimum facilities to hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians
who wish to travel the trail system for several days without returning to a trailhead.
• Providing suitable locations near trailheads for vehicle camping and day use
Programs. Programs are the part of the Master Plan which can increase recreational
opportunities in the corridor with needed information and services:
• Distinctive and consistent signage is recommended to clearly mark the routes of all
major trails and specify their uses
• Maps indicating trail routes, locations of parks, trailheads, campsites and connecting
public transportation are recommended to open the Corridor system to a wide
variety of users
• Group education programs and training of volunteers and park personnel will
contribute to the level of awareness and understanding of the natural resources in
the Corridor
• Group transportation programs increase accessibility to the Corridor
• Assistance for volunteer programs (such as funding for educational material and
communication equipment) also increase access to the Corridor and the safety of its
users.
Planning and coordination.
• The recommended coordination and planning role for the Conservancy can help
ensure consistent standards throughout the Corridor for recreation facilities and
their use, and prevent duplication of effort among government entities
Boundary adjustments. Public and local government input at hearings mandated by
AB 1516 and the staff and consultant's recommendations for a trail network resulted
in projects outside of the existing conservancy zone. The following adjustments are
needed:
• Inclusion of foothills in the Angeles National Forest from Devil's Gate to Santa
Anita Canyon and the northward expansion surrounding Kagel Mountain
• Inclusion of parts of the Simi and Santa Rosa valleys north and west of the existing
Corridor
• Inclusion of a corridor on the north slope of the Santa Susana fountain to the
Santa Clara River
Future boundary adjustments
• Expansion of the Corridor boundary to include the Santa Clara River riparian area
from Santa Clarita to the ocean

Master Plan Priorities
SECTION 6
MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES
AB 1516 requires that priorities for implementation be established for three of the six
defined groups of projects: existing general use trails; proposed open space and
facilities for wildlife habitat and recreation, and; proposed programs. Criteria for
establishing those priorities and ranking of specific projects will be presented in this
section.
Four levels of priorities were determined based on the degree of significance or impact
of the project. The highest priority is assigned to those projects with statewide
significance, followed by those with regional significance, buffers and additions to
existing public lands, and, finally, projects which only serve local needs.
STATEWIDE SIGNIFICANNCE
Projects or programs within each group judged of statewide significance are those
which:
1. Provide essential connections between wildlife habitat areas. More and more
California native plant and animal species are becoming threatened and
endangered, primarily through loss and isolation of their habitat. The wildlife
corridors and major preservation areas identified in the Corridor master plan
can help maintain the genetic diversity of those species and secure the
survival of native flora and fauna.
2. Protect significant and outstanding open space as scenic and environmental
resources.
3. Protect the continuity and accessibility of the Rim of the Valley Trail. The
Rim of the Valley Trail provides the major physical link among the
components of the Corridor system and spectacular natural surroundings in
proximity to a major urban population..
These projects could be granted 100% funding. While no matching monies would be
required, the projects would be implemented cooperatively.
REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE
The second level of priority is given to those projects and programs in each of the
three groups which fulfill a regional need. They would include projects and programs
which are:
1. Connected directly to the Rim Trail but not critical to its completion.
2. Valuable wildlife habitat, scenic or cultural resource within the Corridor but
not directly tied to the Rim Trail
SN1.MC Final Draft ea/ 1 2)90
Funding for these projects would be flexible, varying between 50% and 100 %, with no
matching monies required.
BUFFERS /ADDITIONS TO EXISTING PUBLIC LANDS
These projects would be those that:
1. Protect existing public lands from negative aesthetic or biological impacts
2. Increase the recreation or wildlife preservation value of existing public lands
Funding for these projects would be granted on a 50/50 matt: -ing basis.
LOCAL PROJECTS
These projects and programs, although within the Corridor boundaries, serve and
attract a local based population. Funding would be granted if monies are available after
accommodating higher priority projects.
To qualify for grants from the Conservancy, local governments must show a
commitment to implement the Corridor Master Plan in their areas. Examples of
actions include but are not limited to:
1. Requiring trail and open space dedications (as conditions of development
permits)
2. Agreeing to participate in trail and park access programs and signing
I Working with the Conservancy to buffer parks and trails from conflicting land
uses

MASTER PLAIN MAPS
The following :naps are based on USGS topographic maps covering the Rim of the
Valley Corridor and portions of the original Santa Monica Mountains zone. The mars
indicate:
• The original Corridor and Santa Monica Mountains zone boundaries, and
proposed adjustments
• The Rim of the Valley Trail, with identification of public, private, improved
and unimproved sections
• Major loop and access trails similarly identified
• The location of proposed projects, including new acquisitions for parks or
trails and improvements
• The location of existing parks and open space
The key and legend preceding the maps depict how the maps are organized and how
the information is shown on each map
Each proposed project is referenced with a unique number in only one location on the
maps. Reference to the full descriptions in the list of Proposed Projects will clarify the
extent of projects (particularly trail corridors) that may cover very large geographic
areas. Major existing parks and open space are referenced by map name and letter.

implemented by the Conservancy in their present form for several reasons:
1. The suggestion may not be sufficiently specific to be considered a project, but can be
viewed as an indication of concerns and directions.
' Some projects fall outside both the existing and proposed boundaries of the Rim of
the Valley Corridor.
3. Some have been completed or are in. the process of implementation.
Each project listing contains a considerable amount of information, but in necessarily
short form. The categories for the Proposed Project list are as follows:
