Additional Property Attributes

The Site is identified as the lower meadow of the Pogonip Open Space Preserve in Santa Cruz and is the southern portion of the larger APN 001-211-01. The Site is currently undeveloped except for a series of dirt roads and hiking trails accessible from Golf Club Drive, which is located along the northern and western Site boundaries. The Site is divided into the eastern lower meadow (east meadow), the western lower meadow (west meadow), which are separated by a ravine, and the proposed northern orchard (north orchard). A 0.08-acre seasonal wetland has been identified in the northern portion of west meadow. Historical Land Use: Beginning in approximately 1850, the area surrounding the Site was used for limestone mining and the production of lime. From approximately 1912 through 1986, the Site was part of a social club that included: (a) In 1912, the Site and surrounding open space were developed into an 18-hole golf course and social club. The Pogonip clubhouse is located north of the Site; (b) In 1935, the golf course was turned into polo fields with horse stables located immediately offsite to the west; (c) In 1937, the polo club constructed a skeet shooting range in the west meadow between Golf Club Drive and the ravine; (d) In 1948, a shooting range with a Remington electrical trap" was added adjacent to the existing skeet shooting range, and the grounds were leveled by grading; (e) A 1956 aerial photograph of the Site shows the shooting range infrastructure removed and the area opened to rangeland; it is not clear when the shooting ranges were closed; (f) From approximately 1958 to 1967, the Site was used for cattle grazing; and (g) In 1987, the clubhouse was posted as unsafe for occupancy. Current Land Use: In 1989, the Site was acquired by the City and has since been maintained as recreational open space. A fire break is maintained along the eastern boundary of the Site. During Phase I activities, Site inspection observations included concrete shooting pads and clay target fragments in the west meadow. In addition, the presence of camp sites and some trash and debris, including shopping carts and hypodermic needles, were observed largely in the ravine area. Anticipated Land Use: Recent plans for the Pogonip Farm and Garden indicate that a building complex, consisting of an administrative building, a pole barn, two greenhouses, and parking, is planned for the northwest portion of the west meadow along Golf Club Drive with a variety of perennial orchards and row crops across the Site. The Pogonip Farm & Garden Operations and Management Plan describes best management practices (BMPs) and garden design considerations that incorporate mitigation measures and avoid sensitive areas of wetlands, erodible soil, slopes, and established native vegetation. Regulatory oversight of the project has been referred to the Santa Cruz County Health Services Agency Environmental Health Division, Hazardous Materials Program.
