CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION
Planning for sea level rise to ensure resilient coastal communities is a high priority for local governments, the Coastal Commission, state and federal agencies and stakeholders. The intent of the Commission’s Draft Residential Adaptation Policy Guidance (Guidance) is to provide accessible information on sea level rise adaptation, and a suite of practical land use policy tools to help facilitate planning for resilient shorelines while protecting coastal resources in Local Coastal Programs.
Commission staff plans to hold public hearings on a Proposed Final Residential Adaptation Guidance document in late 2019. Staff is also planning additional opportunities for public comment on the latest version of the Draft Guidance (dated March 2018). Members of the public who have signed up on our sea level rise contact list will receive notice about these opportunities, which will also be posted on the Residential Adaptation Guidance website.
