REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Dave Kiff, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-56 authorizing submittal of an application for a California Coastal
Commission (CCC) Local Coastal Program (LCP) Planning Grant
Statement of Issue:
The Budget Act of 2018 and 2019 respectively provided for $1.5 million for Coastal Commission
grants to local governments to support Local Coastal Program (LCP) planning efforts. The California
Coastal Commission under the authority of the California Coastal Act may provide financial
assistance to support local coastal planning and has approved a competitive grant program to
provide financial assistance. This Request for Council Action seeks authorization for staff to submit a
grant application for up to $300,000 to fund a project that would result in the completion and submittal
for certification by the California Coastal Commission of an Amendment to the City's existing certified
LCP.
Financial Impact:
No fiscal impact.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-56, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Authorizing Submittal of an Application for a California Coastal Commission LCP Planning Grant."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the Resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The LCP Program is an essential component of the California Coastal Act. LCPs implement the
statewide goals and policies of the Coastal Act at the local level and are required by the Coastal Act
for each local coastal jurisdiction. LCPs and LCP updates are developed by local governments and,
once certified by the Commission, the local government assumes responsibility for issuance of most
coastal development permits pursuant to the certified LCP.

The City's LCP was initially certified by the Coastal Commission in 1985 and was last
comprehensively updated in 2001 following the 1996 General Plan Update. According to the Coastal
Commission, many of the LCPs that were certified in the 1980s and 1990s are now out of date and
would benefit from updating to reflect changed conditions, new information and knowledge, and new
programs and policies. Updated LCPs provide more certainty for economic development and enable
stronger coastal resource protection in light of current environmental conditions and other factors.
The City is requesting $300,000 - there is no match requirement. This grant would enable the City to
update its existing certified LCP to address current Coastal Commission guidance and continue to
issue our own coastal development permits as well as incorporate the Sunset Beach area.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to Section 15265 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, CEQA
does not apply to activities and approvals by local governments necessary for the preparation and
adoption of a local coastal program.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
PROJECT DESCRIPTION—Project Summary
The scope of the proposed project includes an update to the Sea Level Rise(SLR) Vulnerability Assessment that
was completed in 2014 in preparation for the City of Huntington Beach's General Plan Update. This update will
inform the development and adoption of a Coastal Resiliency Program(CRP)Update and a comprehensive update
to the Coastal Element of the City's Local Coastal Program(LCP),which has not been comprehensively updated
since 2001. The SLR Vulnerability Study will also inform development and adoption of an update to the City's
existing Floodplain Ordinance. Project benefits will extend beyond the Coastal Zone to other impacted areas of
the City. The City has 11,617 homes in the Coastal Zone but approximately 30,000 homes in the total area of the
City are currently or will be exposed to inundation(over 1/3 of the City's housing units).
Project Goals and Objectives
Goal 1: Update the City's 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment to incorporate new California Coastal Commission
(CCC) Guidance and best available science
Objectives:
1) Incorporate guidance outlined in the 2015 Original SLR Policy Guidance document, the 2018 Science update
to the SLR Policy Guidance, and best available science outlined in the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document
2) Model new SLR scenarios in conjunction with other coastal flooding factors
3) Complete an updated vulnerability assessment for geo-referenced resources, infrastructure and facilities
Goal 2: Update the City's Coastal Resiliency Program to include new findings from the SLR Vulnerability
Assessment Update
Objectives:
1) Conduct an outreach process specific to the issue of SLR that educates and engages stakeholders
2) Develop an updated menu of SLR-related policies to include in the CRP Update
3) Identify other City plans that will require modification, e.g. infrastructure master plans
Goal 3: Develop and adopt a comprehensive update of the Coastal Element of the City's LCP and Floodplain
Ordinance based on the findings of the vulnerability assessment and policy analysis
Objectives:
1)Implement findings from Goals 1 and 2 to draft an updated Coastal Element and updated Floodplain Ordinance
2) Conduct an analysis to prioritize the potential land use and other implementation improvements identified in
the draft documents, based on vulnerability, impact, timeframe, and cost.
3) Review and identify potential funding sources for future implementation of identified priority projects
4) Involve community members, the CCC, City staff, officials, and other relevant parties in the process of
developing the Coastal Element and Floodplain Ordinance updates.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Goals &Priority Population Benefits
This project will meet multiple Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund goals and provide several co-benefits, including
climate adaptation, community engagement, and jobs. Conducting an updated SLR analysis will enable the City
to develop an updated CRP, Coastal Element Update, and Floodplain Ordinance Update. Once adopted, these
plans will empower the City to better align its policies and priority implementation projects with the goal of
mitigating the impacts of climate change, whose negative impacts will be particularly severe for coastal
communities. In the process of developing these documents, the City will conduct extensive community
engagement to ensure ample opportunity for input from stakeholders and those that will be most impacted by
climate change, including disadvantaged and low-income communities. As identified by the California Air
Resources Board Priority Population Map,there are multiple AB-1550 Low-Income Communities located within
1-2 miles of the boundaries of the City's Coastal Zone(see attached Appendix 1).These communities encompass
a total population of over 15,000 residents (U.S. Census Bureau Census Tract Data). The City will conduct
3
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
targeted outreach to these communities to ensure opportunities to participate in the planning process. Once these
documents are finalized and priority implementation projects have been identified, there will be a potential for
future jobs as the City secures funding for implementation of these priority projects.
Consistency with Selection Criteria
Criteria 1: Public Benefit/Significance and Environmental Justice
This project will address issues of statewide significance and maximize public benefits of the coast, primarily by
addressing the impacts of climate change and sea level rise through the proposed SLR assessment and subsequent
CRP Update, Coastal Element Update, and Floodplain Ordinance Update. This project will also address issues of
environmental justice and disparities in climate change impacts by conducting targeted outreach to priority
population communities located in close proximity to the City's Coastal Zone.
Criteria 2:Addressing the Effects of Climate Change
This project will result in a comprehensive LCP update that addresses the effects of climate change, particularly
sea level rise, and which identifies planning and implementation strategies to adapt to sea level rise. A key
deliverable of this project will be a CRP Update that will enable the City to effectively plan for and adapt to
current and future sea level rise that will impact communities in and beyond the Coastal Zone.
Criteria 3:Relative Need for LCP Update
With 9.5 miles of coastline, 11 million annual visitors to its City and State beaches, extensive wetlands that
provide critical habitat for numerous endangered species, and 19 percent of its geographic boundary located
within the Coastal Zone, the City prides itself on being a responsible steward of its share of the coastline. To this
end, in preparation for the 2017 comprehensive General Plan Update, the City prepared a SLR Vulnerability
Assessment in 2014. In recognition of assessment findings and to demonstrate the City's commitment to
addressing SLR, the City's adopted General Plan includes a new goal and several broad policies to ensure that
the City is preparing for a changing coastline. The SLR assessment was consistent with CCC Guidance at the
time of adoption but does not incorporate new guidance outlined in the 2018 Science update to the SLR Policy
Guidance, or the best available science outlined in the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document. Additionally,
the City's last comprehensive update to the Land Use Plan/Coastal Element of the City's certified LCP occurred
in 2001. As such there is a critical need to update the LCP at this time, particularly in light of hazards identified
in the 2014 SLR Assessment, some of which are highlighted in the attached Appendix.
Criteria 4:Likelihood of Success/Effectiveness
To ensure successful and effective completion of the proposed project, the City will coordinate with the CCC to
meet all required policies and procedures. The City will conduct extensive outreach to also coordinate with the
public and with other local stakeholder organizations. Further, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
has adopted a resolution authorizing this proposal and committing to completing an LCP Amendment.
Criteria 5:Project Integration/Leverage/Matching Funds
In addition to the $100,000 in City matching funds identified in the project budget, this project will build on past
funding leveraged for related planning efforts. As part of the 2017 General Plan update, the City contributed
approximately $150,000 for preparation of a SLR Vulnerability Assessment and CRP. Previously, in 2013, the
City also collected topographic LIDAR data with 1-foot contour intervals, contributing $39,750 for these data
collection costs. Additionally, as part of the planning process for the Magnolia Tank Farm Project, the project
applicant expended approximately $130,000 for preparation of a SLR vulnerability assessment. The Coastal
Conservancy has identified the Magnolia Tank Farm as a high opportunity project due to the inclusion of family
and group-oriented lower cost lodging accommodations in the project proposal, as well as its partnership with the
Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy to develop educational programs for the public.

Task 2. Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Update
2.1 Background Data Collection Update to Incorporate New CCC Guidance and Best Available Science
5
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
• In 2017,the City adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan. As part of the General Plan
update effort, in 2014,the City prepared a SLR Vulnerability Assessment that was consistent with
the adopted CCC Guidance available at the time.
• This previously completed SLR Vulnerability Assessment does not include new guidance from the
CCC that has been adopted in the years since, including the 2015 Original SLR Policy Guidance
Document and the 2018 Science Update to the SLR Policy Guidance. It also does not include the
best available science outlined in the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document.
• To update the existing SLR Vulnerability Assessment for consistency with new CCC guidance,the
consultant will collect and analyze the best available data and projections provided in the 2018
OPC State SLR Guidance Document.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.2 Coastal Conditions Assessment
• The consultant will complete an updated coastal conditions assessment that incorporates new CCC
guidance. This data analysis will provide the range of beach profiles from multiple seasons, and
from each profile will be extracted beach slopes (for wave runup), backshore toe elevation (for
calculating erosion potential), and crest elevation(for calculating wave overtopping and flooding).
A mean high-water shoreline location will be extracted for inclusion in the historical shoreline
change analysis. This will result in a backshore classification showing locations of coastal
armoring, inlets, and dunes that have the relevant geomorphic data necessary to run SLR models.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.3 Planning Area Inventory Update
• As part of the 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment,the City completed a geo-referenced inventory
of facilities potentially affected by SLR. The assessment found that by 2030 and 2050 major
roadways,public facilities,and residential areas in the coastal zone are vulnerable during combined
extreme high tide and coastal storm wave events. By 2100 there is potential for widespread
inundation across large portions of northern Huntington Beach in the vicinity of Sunset Beach,
Huntington Harbor,and Bolsa Chica. Critical facilities like the AES Southland(AES)power plant
and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) wastewater treatment facility in south
Huntington Beach are vulnerable to tidal inundation, extreme wave events, and stormwater runoff.
Beaches, stormwater and transportation infrastructure, public facilities, ecosystems, and
commercial and residential buildings are also vulnerable.
• As part of the proposed SLR update,the consultant will analyze this existing inventory of impacted
facilities for consistency with updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment findings, with CCC SLR
Adopted Policy Guidance, and with the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance. This inventory will be
updated and augmented if necessary.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.4 Outreach Prior to Modeling
• The consultant will solicit input from the CCC and other resource agency staff regarding data and
approach.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.5 Model SLR Scenarios
6
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
• The City's 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment included a citywide assessment that divided the
City into shoreline and inland waterway planning areas and evaluated six scenarios utilizing three
different horizon years(2030,2050,and 2100)with low and high SLR estimates.
• The consultant will model new SLR scenarios in conjunction with other coastal factors as identified
in the City's LCP and based on agency guidance, such as erosion, flooding and storm impacts,
inundation, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater resources. In modeling a range of updated SLR
scenarios based on the best available science, the consultant will follow the guidance provided in
the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.6 Conduct Updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment
• An updated SLR vulnerability assessment will be conducted for each of the infrastructure elements
and other development categories identified such as public access, recreation facilities and
environmentally sensitive habitat and will be performed in accordance with the 2018 OPC State
SLR Guidance Document. Sensitivity assessments will consider how sensitive a planning area is
to projected effects, as well as its capacity to adapt to those effects.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.7 Study Approach Summary
• Consultant will prepare a summary of project approach and analysis methods for reference use by
other jurisdictions and resource agencies.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
Task 2 Deliverables

Memo
2.4-2.7 SLR Vulnerability Assessment and summary of
study approach
Task 3. Coastal Resiliency Plan Update
3.1 Review Current Coastal Resiliency Program Existing Studies and Adaptation Policies
• As part of the 2017 General Plan Update,the City prepared a Coastal Resiliency Program (CRP)
and identified strategies and implementation measures to address and adapt to hazards associated
with SLR. The CRP was intended to serve as a"bridge document" linking the General Plan to a
future comprehensive LCP update in an advisory manner that allows both documents to incorporate
SLR considerations, consistent with new CCC Guidance, into the planning process to achieve a
common vision for a resilient community. As a result, some of the recommended strategies and
implementation steps described in the current Coastal Resiliency Program were identified as more
appropriate for addressing in a future LCP Update.
• The consultant will review the City's current CRP as well as existing studies and adaptation policies
that have been implemented elsewhere in order to consider best practices for completing the
proposed CRP Update. The consultant also will review updates to the CCC's SLR policy guidance
7
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
that have been adopted since the City completed this initial CRP document, including the 2015
Original SLR Policy Guidance Document,the 2018 Science Update to the SLR Policy Guidance,
and the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.2 Conduct a Public Outreach Process
• The City and the consultant will conduct a public outreach process that educates and engages the
community and other stakeholders affected by SLR. In contrast to public outreach completed for
the CRP as part of the General Plan update, this public outreach process will be specific to the
impacts of SLR and will focus on educating and engaging stakeholders in the CRP update process.
The City will also solicit input from CCC and other resource agency staff as well as the local
community during Plan reparation.A potential obstacle associated with this aspect of the work plan
is the possible time delay associated with soliciting input from a variety of agencies and individuals.
• Responsible Party: City of Huntington Beach and Consultant
3.3 Develop SLR-Related Options and Policies
• The consultant will develop an updated menu of SLR-related options and policies that may be used
by the City to address potential hazards and to incorporate these policies in the LCP update.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.4 Prepare Coastal Resiliency Plan
• The consultant will prepare an update to the Coastal Resiliency Plan as a result of the vulnerability
assessment and an evaluation of the options and policies,which includes guiding principles, goals
and preparedness actions. Reviewing data for both inside and outside the Coastal Zone may help
assign varying levels of priority for facilities and resources. For example, facilities within the
Coastal Zone could be assigned to short-term mitigation plans, and facilities located inland of the
Coastal Zone could be designated for longer-term solutions. The second potential obstacle in the
work plan is the challenge of developing consensus around policies and strategies that result in
trade-offs.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.5 Establish a Monitoring Program
• With the assistance of the consultant,the City will establish a monitoring program based on public
data sources.

• Based on the data collected and policy framework, the consultant will identify components of the
General Plan Coastal Element, which functions as the Land Use Plan component of the City's
certified LCP, and LCP Implementing Ordinances that warrant modification. The consultant will
also identify other plans, such as infrastructure master plans that may also require modification in
light of new findings from the updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment. After identifying these
elements and the feedback gathered in the public outreach meetings conducted as part of Task 3,
the consultant will develop a Draft Coastal Element Update. The Draft will be posted on the City's
website and distributed to interested parties for comment.The City will also work with the CCC to
revise the draft as necessary and will incorporate any input into the final draft of the Coastal
Element for CCC certification.
• Responsible Party: City of Huntington Beach and Consultant
4.2 Prioritize Implementation Elements for Implementation Program and Identify Funding Sources

Appendix 4: Coastal Resiliency Goals-Excerpt from 2017 General Plan Update
Greenhouse Gas Emissions released by ICLEI-USA and recommended by the
Governor's Office of Planning and Research, the Local Government Operations
Protocol, and methodologies approved by the California Air Resources Board, The
Climate Registry, and the Association of Environmental Professionals. We
anticipate that the inventories will include emissions from key sectors, including
energy, transportation, waste, water, wastewater, and other sectors as applicable.
We also anticipate coordinating with the City's Energy Program Manager,Southern
California Edison, the Southern California Gas Company, and other service
providers while preparing the inventories.
Following the inventories, we will forecast GHG emissions to 2020, the General
Plan horizon year, and 2050 for consistency with AB 32 guidance from the
Governor's Office Planning and Research and the State CEO.A Guidelines.
Forecasting will allow identification of a 2020 GHG reduction target consistent with
AB 32 and provide an opportunity to select an additional GHG reduction target(or
targets) consistent with the community's vision for the General Plan and SAP.
Coastal Resiliency
Using state, regional, and local resources, expert understanding, and feedback
from local experts, PMC will evaluate resiliency and adaptation strategies and
policies to address anticipated climate change effects, particularly those affecting
Huntington Beach's coastline. Our approach will include research and assessment
of state, regional, and local resources, preparation of a vulnerability assessment, -
sea level rise—specific analyses, and preparation of adaptation strategies and r _
resiliency measures. Excellent resources are readily available to provide guidance : St
and background information, including:
■ California Adaptation Planning Guide(2012, Cal EMA)
■ Cal-Adapt Local Profiles(2013, CEC)
o City planning documents including, but not limited to, the draft Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan,demographic projections, Infrastructure Master Plans.and the
Emergency Management Plan
• Project-specific technical SLR analysis(presented below)
■ Cal EMA My Hazard Mapping tool
Sea Level Rise
The latest State of California guidance for SLR is summarized in the State of
California Sea-Level Rise Guidance Document (March 2013 update), which was
based on the final report from the National Research Council (NRC), Sea Level
Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon and Washington (June 2012).

The diagrams below show the past and future tide levels for the Los Angeles tide
gauge (the longest record in the region). The future tide levels are based on the
NRC III SLR scenario. Similar analysis can be performed for any SLR scenario.
With additional analysis, similar results can be developed that show how return
periods for various tide levels change over time. Essentially, what is a 100-year
tide level today will be less than a 5-year event by 2060 under this scenario. Such
information is very important for a broad range of City infrastructure elements.

Vulnerability Assessment
In order to understand the city's vulnerability, it will be important to involve
organizations that manage resources and facilities to identify risks and strategies to
reduce risks. Because the number of groups and organizations that are affected by
climate change is large, we recommend forming a task force made up of
1-E ! Proposai for City of Huriington Beach
A25
�W
organizations actively engaged in the management of resources and facilities, The
task force could also include representatives of the GPAC, at the City's discretion.
A vulnerability assessment is critical to identify adaptation strategies that
effectively increase resiliency to hazards and a changing climate over time. The
vulnerability assessment provides a spatial assessment of (1)the.exposure to
hazards, (2) sensitivity to effects, (3) potential effects of those hazards (including
certainty and timing),and(4)the current ability to adapt to those effects.
E;Vosure. The first step in assessing climate change vulnerability is identifying
exposure, or which climate change effects will occur in the city. Early analysis
from the California Adaptation Planning Guide suggests the following primary.
exposure:
s Sea level rise-up to 55-inch sea level rise by 2100
■ Extreme heat—3 to 5 more annual heat waves by 2050; 12 to 14 by 2100
■ Increases in average annual temperature and the number of extreme heat days
e Changes in precipitation patterns (increase in extreme events and drought)—
up to 2-inch decrease by 2050, 3-to 5-inch decrease by 2090
■ Increases in average annual temperature and the.number of extreme heat days
PMC and M&N will build from this initial analysis using existing resources,
Y
technical expertise, discussions with City staff, and input from local stakeholders.
Exposure will be assessed in terms of expected severity and likelihood.
Sensitivity. The second step in the process is identifying the functions, structures,
and populations that will be affected by the exposures listed above. Given the
extensive resources already available for Huntington Beach, this task will utilize a
sensitivity checklist to determine the degree to which a system would be impaired
by climate change effects for each exposure. Through discussions with City staff
and the local steering committee and further research, the sensitivity rankings will
be refined to identify the most vulnerable systems, infrastructure, and
communities.
Effects. Climate change effects occur at the intersection of exposure and
sensitivity. PMC will identify specific impacts such as flooding (from anticipated
changes in sea level and/or precipitation), negative public health outcomes from
heat-related events, damage to infrastructure and homes due to flooding and
reduced water availability, and economic changes resulting from anticipated
changes to natural resources that support tourism. These effects will be assessed
for severity, certainty,and onset(time frame).
Project Understanding and Approach ( 1 9
A26
I
Adaptive Capacity. The City has existing policies, plans, programs, resources, or
institutions that will help functions, structures, and populations adapt to climate
change. PMC will work with City staff and a local steering committee to identify
the ability.of a function; structure, or community to maintain its functions while
experiencing the effects of climate change. This task will identify those functions
and qualitatively assess their ability to reduce climate change effects to key assets
over time.
Vulnerability. Vulnerability is identified by assessing the interaction of exposure,
sensitivity, impact, and adaptive capacity. The functions, structures, and
communities identified as the most vulnerable will be priority topics for adaptation
policy. After conducting initial analysis for each of the steps, PMC will perform a
series of qualitative assessments, as illustrated in the diagram below, to identify
vulnerability. PMC's assessment*will be vetted and refined by input from outreach
events,discussion with City staff,expert analysis,and the task force.

Through the vulnerability assessment, PMC will work with City staff and
stakeholders to identify the most vulnerable functions, structures, and
communities and to identify adaptation strategies (policies and implementation
actions) to ensure these assets adapt to and are resilient in a changing climate.
These strategies will include opportunistic (e.g., relocating assets through land
use changes), defensive (e.g:, protecting assets with infrastructure improvements
when they are not easily moved), and passive (e.g., investment in education or
social infrastructure to encourage community resiliency)approaches.
Following the vulnerability assessment, we will prepare an adaptation and
resiliency strategy. Early analysis based on the risk of the impact (likelihood and
potential consequences) and the extent of the City's jurisdiction or influence over
the affected system suggests the following primary effects should be evaluated:
f 10 Proposal for City of Huntington Beach
A27 p„�
f"�Iz
■ Threats to built infrastructure in the coastal zone from sea level rise
■ Threats to coastal ecosystems from sea level rise
■ Public health threats from increased temperatures
■ Water supply effects
PMC will build from this initial analysis using existing resources, technical
expertise, and discussions with City staff and the task force. Exposure risks will be
assessed in terms of expected severity and likelihood.
Resource Conservation and Wetland Protection
1�.c`��1..4'
The City's Coastal Element was comprehensively updated in 2001. It includes an ;
exhibit of "environmentally sensitive habitats as depicted by the Department of
Fish and Game"that is based on information from the 1970s and only includes the -
southeast portion of the city. As part of the General Plan update, PMC will conduct y —R
a biological survey to update exhibits that consider such natural resources. The
majority of sensitive habitats are along the coast: however, there is one created
wetland inland in the Seacliff community, and there are other areas that may
warrant recognition, such as the eucalyptus grove at Norma Gibbs Park created for
monarch butterflies. In addition, the City is studying the annexation of the
unincorporated Bolsa Chica Wetlands and surrounding vicinity, totaling about
1,500 acres, for the purpose of ensuring long-term protection and restoration of
the area.
Urban Runoff and Low Impact Development
Identifying opportunities for appropriate drainage control and runoff improvement
opportunities will be performed collectively between the consultant team, City
staff, and the local community. Moffatt & Nichol will develop a Citywide Urban
Runoff Management Plan (CURMP)that will detail how Huntington Beach plans to
protect and improve water quality of local coastal resources. Moffatt & Nichol's
extensive experience in the city will allow for the easy identification of areas in
need of special attention. Moffatt & Nichol will work with City staff to develop a
program rooted in sustainable solutions that focus on eliminating additional flow,
maximizing on-site retention/infiltration, and incorporating bio-retention features
which offer opportunities for runoff treatment and enhancement of local
landscaping.As detailed in Section 2, Moffat& Nichol will complete an extensive
research program properly documenting existing conditions, develop a list of
water quality improvement projects, and identify funding sources to help develop
needed system enhancements. The CURMP developed in 2005 will be revised to
meet or exceed the requirements of the local NPDES permit.
Information developed by Moffat & Nichol will also be used in the General Plan
update process to create polices that will promote water-sensitive techniques for

City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
PROJECT DESCRIPTION—Project Summary
The scope of the proposed project includes an update to the Sea Level Rise (SLR)Vulnerability Assessment that
was completed in 2014 in preparation for the City of Huntington Beach's General Plan Update. This update will
inform the development and adoption of a Coastal Resiliency Program(CRP)Update and a comprehensive update
to the Coastal Element of the City's Local Coastal Program(LCP), which has not been comprehensively updated
since 2001. The SLR Vulnerability Study will also inform development and adoption of an update to the City's
existing Floodplain Ordinance. Project benefits will extend beyond the Coastal Zone to other impacted areas of
the City. The City has 11,6.17 homes in the Coastal Zone but approximately 30,000 homes in the total area of the
City are currently or will be exposed to inundation(over 1/3 of the City's housing units).
Project Goals and Objectives
Goal 1: Update the City's 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment to incorporate new California Coastal Commission
(CCC) Guidance and best available science
Objectives:
1) Incorporate guidance outlined in the 2015 Original SLR Policy Guidance document, the 2018 Science update
to the SLR Policy Guidance, and best available science outlined in the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document
2) Model new SLR scenarios in conjunction with other coastal flooding factors
3) Complete an updated vulnerability assessment for geo-referenced resources, infrastructure and facilities
Goal 2: Update the City's Coastal Resiliency Program to include new findings from the SLR Vulnerability
Assessment Update
Objectives:
1) Conduct an outreach process specific to the issue of SLR that educates and engages stakeholders
2) Develop an updated menu of SLR-related policies to include in the CRP Update
3) Identify other City plans that will require modification, e.g. infrastructure master plans
Goal 3: Develop and adopt a comprehensive update of the Coastal Element of the City's LCP and Floodplain
Ordinance based on the findings of the vulnerability assessment and policy analysis
Objectives:
1)Implement findings from Goals 1 and 2 to draft an updated Coastal Element and updated Floodplain Ordinance
2) Conduct an analysis to prioritize the potential land use and other implementation improvements identified in
the draft documents, based on vulnerability, impact, timeframe, and cost.
3)Review and identify potential funding sources for future implementation of identified priority projects
4) Involve community members, the CCC, City staff, officials, and other relevant parties in the process of
developing the Coastal Element and Floodplain Ordinance updates.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Goals & Priority Population Benefits
This project will meet multiple Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund goals and provide several co-benefits, including
climate adaptation, community engagement, and jobs. Conducting an updated SLR analysis will enable the City
to develop an updated CRP, Coastal Element Update, and Floodplain Ordinance Update. Once adopted, these
plans will empower the City to better align its policies and priority implementation projects with the goal of
mitigating the impacts of climate change, whose negative impacts will be particularly severe for coastal
communities. In the process of developing these documents, the City will conduct extensive community
engagement to ensure ample opportunity for input from stakeholders and those that will be most impacted by
climate change, including disadvantaged and low-income communities. As identified by the California Air
Resources Board Priority Population Map,there are multiple AB-1550 Low-Income Communities located within
1-2 miles of the boundaries of the City's Coastal Zone(see attached Appendix 1). These communities encompass
a total population of over 15,000 residents (U.S. Census Bureau Census Tract Data). The City will conduct
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
targeted outreach to these communities to ensure opportunities to participate in the planning process. Once these
documents are finalized and priority implementation projects have been identified, there will be a potential for
future jobs as the City secures funding for implementation of these priority projects.
Consistency with Selection Criteria
Criteria 1: Public Benefit/Significance and Environmental Justice
This project will address issues of statewide significance and maximize public benefits of the coast,primarily by
addressing the impacts of climate change and sea level rise through the proposed SLR assessment and subsequent
CRP Update, Coastal Element Update, and Floodplain Ordinance Update. This project will also address issues of
environmental justice and disparities in climate change impacts by conducting targeted outreach to priority
population communities located in close proximity to the City's Coastal Zone.
Criteria 2:Addressing the Effects of Climate Change
This project will result in a comprehensive LCP update that addresses the effects of climate change, particularly
sea level rise, and which identifies planning and implementation strategies to adapt to sea level rise. A key
deliverable of this project will be a CRP Update that will enable the City to effectively plan for and adapt to
current and future sea level rise that will impact communities in and beyond the Coastal Zone.
Criteria 3: Relative Need for LCP Update
With 9.5 miles of coastline, 11 million annual visitors to its City and State beaches, extensive wetlands that
provide critical habitat for numerous endangered species, and 19 percent of its geographic boundary located
within the Coastal Zone, the City prides itself on being a responsible steward of its share of the coastline. To this
end, in preparation for the 2017 comprehensive General Plan Update, the City prepared a SLR Vulnerability
Assessment in 2014. In recognition of assessment findings and to demonstrate the City's commitment to
addressing SLR, the City's adopted General Plan includes a new goal and several broad policies to ensure that
the City is preparing for a changing coastline. The SLR assessment was consistent with CCC Guidance at the
time of adoption but does not incorporate new guidance outlined in the 2018 Science update to the SLR Policy
Guidance, or the best available science outlined in the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document. Additionally,
the City's last comprehensive update to the Land Use Plan/Coastal Element of the City's certified LCP occurred
in 2001. As such there is a critical need to update the LCP at this time, particularly in light of hazards identified
in the 2014 SLR Assessment, some of which are highlighted in the attached Appendix.
Criteria 4: Likelihood of Success/Effectiveness
To ensure successful and effective completion of the proposed project, the City will coordinate with the CCC to
meet all required policies and procedures. The City will conduct extensive outreach to also coordinate with the
public and with other local stakeholder organizations. Further,the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
has adopted a resolution authorizing this proposal and committing to completing an LCP Amendment.
Criteria S: Project Integration/Leverage/Matching Funds
In addition to the $100,000 in City matching funds identified in the project budget,this project will build on past
funding leveraged for related planning efforts. As part of the 2017 General Plan update, the City contributed
approximately $150,000 for preparation of a SLR Vulnerability Assessment and CRP. Previously, in 2013, the
City also collected topographic LIDAR data with 1-foot contour intervals, contributing $39,750 for these data
collection costs. Additionally, as part of the planning process for the Magnolia Tank Farm Project, the project
applicant expended approximately $130,000 for preparation of a SLR vulnerability assessment. The Coastal
Conservancy has identified the Magnolia Tank Farm as a high opportunity project due to the inclusion of family
and group-oriented lower cost lodging accommodations in the project proposal,as well as its partnership with the
Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy to develop educational programs for the public.

• To update the existing SLR Vulnerability Assessment for consistency with new CCC guidance,the
consultant will collect and analyze the best available data and projections provided in the 2018
OPC State SLR Guidance Document.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.2 Coastal Conditions Assessment
• The consultant will complete an updated coastal conditions assessment that incorporates new CCC
guidance. This data analysis will provide the range of beach profiles from multiple seasons, and
from each profile will be extracted beach slopes (for wave runup), backshore toe elevation (for
calculating erosion potential), and crest elevation(for calculating wave overtopping and flooding).
A mean high-water shoreline location will be extracted for inclusion in the historical shoreline
change analysis. This will result in a backshore classification showing locations of coastal
armoring, inlets, and dunes that have the relevant geomorphic data necessary to run SLR models.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.3 Planning Area Inventory pdate
• As part of the 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment,the City completed a geo-referenced inventory
of facilities potentially affected by SLR. The assessment found that by 2030 and 2050 major
roadways,public facilities,and residential areas in the coastal zone are vulnerable during combined
extreme high tide and coastal storm wave events. By 2100 there is potential for widespread
inundation across large portions of northern Huntington Beach in the vicinity of Sunset Beach,
Huntington Harbor, and Bolsa Chica. Critical facilities like the AES Southland(AES)power plant
and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) wastewater treatment facility in south
Huntington Beach are vulnerable to tidal inundation,extreme wave events, and stormwater runoff.
Beaches, stormwater and transportation infrastructure, public facilities, ecosystems, and
commercial and residential buildings are also vulnerable.
• As part of the proposed SLR update,the consultant will analyze this existing inventory of impacted
facilities for consistency with updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment findings, with CCC SLR
Adopted Policy Guidance, and with the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance. This inventory will be
updated and augmented if necessary.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.4 Outreach Prior to Modeling
• The consultant will solicit input from the CCC and other resource agency staff regarding data and
approach.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
2.5 Model SLR Scenarios
• The City's 2014 SLR Vulnerability Assessment included a citywide assessment that divided the
City into shoreline and inland waterway planning areas and evaluated six scenarios utilizing three
different horizon years(2030, 2050, and 2100)with low and high SLR estimates.
• The consultant will model new SLR scenarios in conjunction with other coastal factors as identified
in the City's LCP and based on agency guidance, such as erosion, flooding and storm impacts,
inundation,and saltwater intrusion into freshwater resources. In modeling a range of updated SLR
scenarios based on the best available science, the consultant will follow the guidance provided in
the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.6 Conduct Updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment
• An updated SLR vulnerability assessment will be conducted for each of the infrastructure elements
and other development categories identified such as public access, recreation facilities and
environmentally sensitive habitat and will be performed in accordance with the 2018 OPC State
SLR Guidance Document. Sensitivity assessments will consider how sensitive a planning area is
to projected effects,as well as its capacity to adapt to those effects.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
2.7 Study pproach Summary
• Consultant will prepare a summary of project approach and analysis methods for reference use by
other jurisdictions and resource agencies.
• Responsible Party: Consultant

Task 3. Coastal Resiliency Plan Update
3.1 Review Current Coastal Resiliency Program,Existing Studies, and Adaptation Policies
• As part of the 2017 General Plan Update, the City prepared a Coastal Resiliency Program (CRP)
and identified strategies and implementation measures to address and adapt to hazards associated
with SLR. The CRP was intended to serve as a"bridge document" linking the General Plan to a
future comprehensive LCP update in an advisory manner that allows both documents to incorporate
SLR considerations, consistent with new CCC Guidance, into the planning process to achieve a
common vision for a resilient community. As a result, some of the recommended strategies and
implementation steps described in the current Coastal Resiliency Program were identified as more
appropriate for addressing in a future LCP Update.
City of Huntington Beach—2019 LCP Planning Grant Application
• The consultant will review the City's current CRP as well as existing studies and adaptation policies
that have been implemented elsewhere in order to consider best practices for completing the
proposed CRP Update. The consultant also will review updates to the CCC's SLR policy guidance
that have been adopted since the City completed this initial CRP document, including the 2015
Original SLR Policy Guidance Document, the 2018 Science Update to the SLR Policy Guidance,
and the 2018 OPC State SLR Guidance Document.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.2 Conduct a Public Outreach Process
• The City and the consultant will conduct a public outreach process that educates and engages the
community and other stakeholders affected by SLR. In contrast to public outreach completed for
the CRP as part of the General Plan update, this public outreach process will be specific to the
impacts of SLR and will focus on educating and engaging stakeholders in the CRP update process.
The City will also solicit input from CCC and other resource agency staff as well as the local
community during Plan reparation.A potential obstacle associated with this aspect of the work plan
is the possible time delay associated with soliciting input from a variety of agencies and individuals.
• Responsible Party: City of Huntington Beach and Consultant
3.3 Develop SLR-Related Options and Policies
• The consultant will develop an updated menu of SLR-related options and policies that may be used
by the City to address potential hazards and to incorporate these policies in the LCP update.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.4 Prepare Coastal Resiliency Plan
• The consultant will prepare an update to the Coastal Resiliency Plan as a result of the vulnerability
assessment and an evaluation of the options and policies,which includes guiding principles, goals
and preparedness actions. Reviewing data for both inside and outside the Coastal Zone may help
assign varying levels of priority for facilities and resources. For example, facilities within the
Coastal Zone could be assigned to short-term mitigation plans, and facilities located inland of the
Coastal Zone could be designated for longer-term solutions. The second potential obstacle in the
work plan is the challenge of developing consensus around policies and strategies that result in
trade-offs.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
3.5 Establish a Monitoring Program
• With the assistance of the consultant,the City will establish a monitoring program based on public
data sources.

• Based on the data collected and policy framework,the consultant will identify components of the
General Plan Coastal Element, which functions as the Land Use Plan component of the City's
certified LCP, and LCP Implementing Ordinances that warrant modification. The consultant will
also identify other plans, such as infrastructure master plans that may also require modification in
light of new findings from the updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment. After identifying these
elements and the feedback gathered in the public outreach meetings conducted as part of Task 3,
the consultant will develop a Draft Coastal Element Update.The Draft will be posted on the City's
website and distributed to interested parties for comment.The City will also work with the CCC to
revise the draft as necessary and will incorporate any input into the final draft of the Coastal
Element for CCC certification.
• Responsible Party: City of Huntington Beach and Consultant
4.2 Prioritize Implementation Elements for Implementation Program and Identify Funding Sources
• The consultant will conduct an analysis to prioritize the potential land use and other implementation
improvements based on vulnerability, impact,timeframe,and cost. The consultant will also review
and identify potential funding sources for future implementation of priority projects.
• Responsible Party: Consultant
4.3 Final Coastal Element Update
• Complete the final report that addresses the comments from Community Workshops, public
feedback gathered during the community outreach for sea level rise vulnerability and risk
assessment(Task 2), and input from the CCC, City staff, officials, or other relevant parties on the
Draft Coastal Element Update.The consultant will submit hard copies and electronic copies to the
