California State Parks Capital District is in the process of developing and implementing a General Plan for Old Sacramento State Historic Park (SHP), which sits within Old Sacramento- a National Historic Landmark District. Some noteworthy points of interest of Old Sacramento SHP include the California State Railroad Museum, the B.F. Hastings building (once the location of California’s Supreme Court), the Eagle Theatre, the Big Four Building (which contains the Huntington & Hopkins Hardware Store, the Stanford Brothers Warehouse, and the Nathaniel Dingley Steam Coffee & Spice Mill), the Central Pacific Railroad Freight Depot and Passenger Station, the Sacramento Southern Railroad, the Pony Express Park, the Tehama Block, the McDowell building, and the site of the proposed Railroad Technology Museum.
Why a General Plan is important
Old Sacramento SHP preserves an important part of Sacramento’s early history. The General Plan provides an opportunity to enhance the visitor’s experience in this historic park. With exciting new possibilities brought about by the future Railroad Technology Museum, the timing is ideal to take a fresh look at this historic area as a whole, and make the most of the upcoming changes.
How to get involved in the planning process
The General Plan process, which will rely heavily on public input in developing proposed actions, will include three public workshops. The workshops will allow the general public to express thoughts and opinions related to the future of Old Sacramento SHP.
If you would like to be kept updated on Old Sacramento SHP General Plan public workshops and plan development, please submit your name and email address to osshp@parks.ca.gov. Email addresses will be kept confidential and only used in connection with OSSHP General Plan issues.
Documents
The General Plan is subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared concurrently with the General Plan. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the EIR was filed with the State Clearinghouse on September 22. Copies of the NOP and accompanying Notice of Completion (NOC) are provided below. Public Workshop number 1, announced above, will serve as a CEQA scoping meeting.
