Carnegie SVRA General Plan Update, Preliminary General Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is managing the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area General Plan Update, which involves the preparation of a general plan and an associated Environmental Impact Report to update land use and resource provisions. This specific phase focuses on a Partially Recirculated EIR centered on a revised alternatives chapter, necessitated by a court ruling. The primary objective is to gather public and agency input on the scope of additional alternatives, with a particular emphasis on analyzing air quality impacts. The project is being coordinated through AECOM and is subject to a public review and scoping period from September 17, 2026, to October 19, 2026. A virtual scoping meeting is scheduled for September 30, 2026, to facilitate this process. The project is located in California within the 95376 zip code area, and the effort is led by General Plan Manager Katie Metraux and Principal Valarie Yruretagoyena.
