Work Program - Progress Update
Following is an update on various tasks for the coastal resiliency/sea level rise planning work program. Preparation of the Local Coastal Program Amendment documents involves public review and outreach prior to the public hearing and approval phase. Much of the public discussion occurs through the STAC meeting forum and is followed with noticed public hearings by the decision makers: Planning Commission (recommendation), City Council, and California Coastal Commission.
