El Monte Trail and Equestrian Staging Area Project - Mitigated Negative Declaration
The El Monte Trail and Equestrian Staging Area Project proposes to establish a new multi-use trail and equestrian staging area at El Monte Park. The proposed trail will connect to an existing trail easement – the Flume Trail - dedicated as part of the Blossom Valley Estates development that adjoins El Monte Park to the south. The proposed trail will wind in an approximate northwest direction, traversing an undeveloped hillside before entering the developed park area west of an oak grove. The trail will then cross El Monte Road at an existing crossing in order to connect to a proposed 1.4-acre staging area on the north side of the road. The proposed equestrian staging area would replace an existing baseball/batting area. The new staging area will feature a natural surface parking lot and will remove an existing batting backstop.
The Final Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for this project was approved and adopted by the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors on August 5, 2009.
