10.3.2 Planned Uses¶

CLEEF intends to provide a unique equestrian facility on the historic campgrounds of Camp Lockett. CLEEF seeks to create a quality destination for equestrian enthusiasts throughout the southwest region of San Diego County. Their plans include the recreation of the Buffalo Soldiers obstacle course, preserving a museum of artifacts, expanding camping opportunities for hikers and riders travelling along Pacific Crest Trail, and providing equestrian educational programs for disadvantaged children throughout the southwest region.

Figure 13 classifies the constraints related to the CLEEF Planning Area into the following five categories: no impacts, potential issues that require additional analysis, potential issues that involve higher level of analysis/difficulty, potential significant impacts, and significant impacts – no build possible. Constraints were generated from a variety of sources including available GIS files, field-verification, and surveys. Constraints such as cultural resources, archaeological resources, biological resources, vegetation, steep slopes, 100-year floodplain, and liquefaction were evaluated. Once constraints were identified, Figure 14 was developed to depict the zones governing the site.

The CLEEF Planning Area is divided into the following four subareas:
