CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
August 16, 2022 8a
PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF THE CITY OF CORONADO DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION’S DENIAL OF A ROOFTOP DECK EXPANSION AT 1309 ORANGE AVENUE (DR 2022-09)
RECOMMENDATION:

Consider the application, conduct a public hearing and accept testimony, and make a determination on the proposed rooftop deck expansion at 1309 Orange Avenue and consistency with the Coronado Municipal Code and the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan.

BACKGROUND:

On July 6, 2022, the Design Review Commission voted 2-1-1-1 (two ayes; one no; one recusal; one absence) to approve the proposed project, thereby issuing a de facto denial because the motion for approval failed to secure three affirmative votes, as required by Coronado Municipal Code Section 2.46.030.C.

This denial was timely appealed to the City Council. This appeal hearing is considered a de novo hearing and the City Council may exercise broad discretion to make project determinations as it deems appropriate.

Project Summary
The applicant proposes to expand an existing second floor rooftop deck for additional dining space. The deck would extend out towards B and Orange Avenues. Additionally, three sides of the existing cupola would be opened up to allow for dining within the cupola while maintaining its appearance from the street. The expanded deck would be approximately 1,420 square feet and extend out over an existing first floor tenant space located at the corner of Orange and B Avenues.

The subject building was originally built in the 1930s. In 1995 a permit was issued to remodel the building and construct a new second floor addition, which the subject restaurant currently occupies. Due to the extensive changes to the building that have occurred, it is not considered an historic resource. Therefore, any exterior alteration within the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (OACSP) area is required to obtain Design Review approval per Coronado Municipal Code Section 80.00.030.D.

Project Review Process
The subject application was presented to the Design Review Commission (DRC) at three separate meetings as outlined below:

May 11, 2022: The original proposal was continued to allow the applicant to explore maintaining the cupola structure at the corner, some of the red-tiled roofing, and the general Spanish architecture.

May 25, 2022: The project returned to the DRC showing that it would maintain the cupola and offer dining space within it, as well as maintain more red-tiled roof. The item was continued again to allow the applicant to provide additional views and details of the proposed changes to the cupola.

City of Coronado Page 174
July 6, 2022: The applicant provided additional measurements, photos, and drawings/renderings showing the requested details of the cupola, including that there was adequate height within the cupola to accommodate dining. A motion and a second was made to approve the project as presented. However, just three commissioners were participating due to one absence and one recusal, and the motion failed to obtain a third affirmative vote, as required by CMC Section

2.46.030.C. and the DRC failed to approve the proposal (Attachment 4). On July 18, 2022, the applicant appealed the project to the City Council (Attachment 2).

The design of the patio expansion is before the City Council for action; in addition, the applicant and property owner will need to process a parking plan application in order to provide 14 required parking spaces for the additional dining space the extended patio would create. That will require a public hearing before the City Council. Should this design be approved, staff has included specific conditions of approval addressing the parking requirements (Conditions # 3 and #4) in a draft resolution of approval (Attachment 1).

ANALYSIS:

The proposed project would expand an existing second-floor patio to offer additional outdoor dining space, some of which would be within the existing cupola. The subject structure, known as the La Avenida Complex, is listed in the OACSP as a role model building. The OACSP identifies the following features that make it a role model building:
- Design of the complex inspired by the desire to preserve corner tower of the original structure
- Building’s asymmetry helps define the corner
- Upper level mass notable set back from the street
- Arches and deep recesses break up first story mass
- Detailing is exceptional; most notably the tiling, ornamentation, railings, lighting and signage
- Second story outdoor seating with attractive umbrellas and awnings unique to Orange Avenue
- Creative use of nighttime lighting
- Use of flags and pennants adds action, color and interest to the property - Streetscape treatment; i.e. palms and sidewalk pavers visually continue building theme into public spaces
The proposed project appears to be consistent with these features identified in the OACSP, including preserving the corner tower and adding second story outdoor seating. The OACSP does not prohibit or prevent changes or alterations to what it identifies as ‘Role Model Buildings’, rather they were selected to convey the level of quality, detail and relationships desired for Orange Avenue. For example, the Brigantine restaurant is also listed in the OACSP as a role model building. However, in 2015 the DRC approved a significant remodel, including removal of features identified in the OACSP that made it a role model building.

Design Summary
The applicant is proposing the following exterior changes shown in detail in Attachment 3:

1. Expansion of the existing second floor outdoor rooftop deck surface along B Avenue to create 1,420 square feet of additional dining space. The deck would extend out towards B and Orange Avenues while maintaining a portion of the existing red-tiled roof along the perimeter.

City of Coronado Page 175

2. Three walls of the existing cupola would remain to not change its appearance from the surrounding streets. The backside of the cupola would provide three arched openings that are 7-feet tall, and it would be hollowed out to allow for dining space within.

3. The perimeter of the second-floor patio would include a glass wall with a firepit set behind it. This is designed to match the existing railing and firepit feature on the existing patio fronting Orange Avenue.

4. Wicker dining patio chairs, metal patio bar chairs, and circular patio dining tables are proposed, and photos can be found on Sheet A7.0 of the plans.

5. A 42-inch high metal mesh screen painted black is proposed to separate the existing outdoor dining area along B Avenue from the newly expanded patio area until a parking plan has been approved by the City to account for the additional restaurant space that would be created. The barrier is proposed to be removed if and when a parking plan for the expanded area has been approved by the City.

The proposed remodel complies with the development standards found in the Municipal Code.

The OACSP outlines Commercial Zone Design Criteria, but the guidelines are not prescriptive and can be subjective and interpreted differently by reasonable reviewers. The following statement is found in the Introduction section of the Commercial Zone Design Criteria:

It is not the intent of these design criteria to eliminate design freedom or discourage innovative design. These criteria are less quantitative than the mandatory development standards and may be interpreted with some flexibility in the application to specific projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impacts have been identified.

ALTERNATIVE:

The City Council could choose to approve the project as proposed or approve the project but not allow any changes to the cupola feature. Additionally, the Council could deny the project if the findings for denial of commercial development found in CMC Section 80.00.075.B. could be made.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The project is found to be categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 pertaining to new construction or conversions of small structures.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

A public notice regarding this agenda item was published in the Coronado Eagle & Journal on August 3, 2022 and was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ONE NEW MEMBER AND REAPPOINTMENT OF

KAREN STROUSE TO THE LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
RECOMMENDATION:

Consider for appointment Sharon Hall to serve a three-year term to expire on August 31, 2025 and reappoint Karen Strouse to a three-year term to expire August 31, 2025 on the Library Board of Trustees.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Coronado Administrative Procedure No. 204 and Council policy limits the time an individual may serve on a board, commission, or committee to a maximum of two terms or eight years, whichever is less. City Council Policies No. 6 and No. 23 set forth the process for reappointing eligible incumbents and the competitive process to fill vacancies on City boards, commissions, and committees.

ANALYSIS:

Trustee William Wilson was first appointed to the Library Board of Trustees on August 20, 2019.

At the Regular Meeting of March 2, 2021, the City Council approved extending the terms of all board, commission, and committee members by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Members had the option to decline the extension. Mr. Wilson’s three year term was extended to August 31, 2023 due to the March 2, 2021 Council action. Mr. Wilson resigned from the Library Board of Trustees effective June 15, 2022. Due to the proximity to Mr. Wilson’s extended term expiration, staff is recommending appointment to a three-year term to expire on August 31, 2025, since Mr. Wilson’s original term would have expired August 31, 2022. The following individual submitted an application for consideration:
• Sharon Hall
Trustee Karen Strouse was first appointed September 4, 2018. Trustee Strouse indicated her desire to serve another term of which she is eligible and submitted a letter of interest.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

ALTERNATIVE:

The City Council could decline to make an appointment and the reappointment and direct the City Clerk to advertise for additional applicants.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Not Applicable.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

The notice of vacancy was published in the Coronado Eagle & Journal. Notices were posted at City Hall, the Coronado Public Library, on the City's website, and in the City Manager's Weekly Update.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
August 16, 2022 10c
APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 2023 – 2030 MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE CITY OF CORONADO AND SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a Municipal Services Agreement between the City of Coronado and the San Diego Unified Port District for police, fire lifeguard, and emergency medical services for Fiscal Years 2023 through 2030.

BACKGROUND:

In 2012, the City of Coronado entered into a nine-year Municipal Services Agreement (MSA) with the Port of San Diego to provide police, fire, lifeguard and emergency medical services for Port Tidelands located within Coronado. The terms of this agreement provide reimbursement to the City for services provided on non-tax generating portions of the Port Tidelands. The agreement contained an initial baseline cost of $984,501 for FY 2012/2013, which grew annually by an escalator to $1,151,572 in 2021. Early last year, negotiations commenced between the City and the Port for a successor agreement and in June 2021 a one-year extension was approved to allow for additional negotiating time in light of the staffing transitions at the City. Negotiations continued though the fiscal year and as the final agreement was close but not fully resolved by the fiscal year end, and the City and Port District executed a short-term MSA, from July 1 to August 19, 2022.

In July, the City and Port District reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a new longterm MSA. The MSA was presented to and unanimously approved by the Board of Port Commissioners on August 9, 2022. City Council approval is necessary to execute the MSA.

ANALYSIS:

The following points summarize the substantive negotiated terms of the successor MSA:
• Term of Contract: 8 years, from August 19, 2022 to June 30, 2030. This term is in line with the MSA terms for the other Port member cities.
• Baseline rate: $1,330,118. This first-year cost for services represents a 12 percent increase over the FY 2021/22 contract amount. This rate was calculated using the ratio of calls for service for law enforcement, firefighting, certain emergency response services and lifeguard services on non-tax paying District tidelands to the total calls for service in the City of Coronado and applying that to the overall budgets for the respective service departments, including an average annual expense for vehicle replacement and capital expenditures, plus a 10 percent overhead/administrative fee for each of the service categories. • Baseline resets on July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2028. The baseline resets present opportunities to update the cost model with revised budgets, call volume, capital and equipment investments. • Annual Baseline Rate Increases. For each contract year between the baseline resets, the baseline will be upwardly adjusted by 4 percent.

City of Coronado Page 222
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, the Port District will reimburse the City of Coronado $1,330,118 in the first year of the MSA for police, fire, lifeguard and emergency medical services. The City will receive payments for services in each of the successive seven years of the contract, either adjusted by a baseline increase of 4 percent or by a baseline cost recalculation and reset at years 3 and 6 of the contract.

ALTERNATIVE:

The City Council could decline to approve the contract and direct staff to renegotiate different terms with the Port District.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Not applicable.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

None.

Attachment 1

AGREEMENT BETWEEN

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT
and

CITY OF CORONADO
for

POLICE, FIRE, LIFEGUARD, AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO.

The parties to this Agreement are the SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT, a public corporation (“District”) and THE CITY OF CORONADO, a municipal corporation (“City”).

The District and the City may each be referred to herein as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the San Diego Unified Port District Act allows the District to contract with the municipalities whose territorial limits are adjacent or contiguous to those of the District for police, fire, lifeguard and other services; and
WHEREAS, the District and the City desire to execute an Agreement for police, fire, and emergency medical services on non-ad valorem tideland trust property located in the City of Coronado; and
WHEREAS, the City has the capacity to provide police, fire, lifeguard and emergency services to said District property.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree to the following:

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES. This Agreement covers reimbursement of the actual costs of police, fire, lifeguard and emergency medical (EMS) services to be provided by the City upon the District's tidelands and property within the City’s limits, and which do not generate ad valorem tax revenues, as more particularly depicted on Exhibit 1, Non-Tax Paying Tidelands in the City of Coronado, City of Coronado Page 224
Attachment 1

incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties include, but are not limited to, non-dedicated streets, parks and other open space, unleased developed properties, leased properties wherein the lessee is not subject to ad valorem taxes (with the exception of properties leased to the City), and unleased vacant land. Nothing herein contained shall give the City the right to use or occupy any District real or personal property, or to otherwise use the services of the District or its employees. City shall provide police, fire and emergency medical services as contained in the “Scope of Services” established as the baseline service level, attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein (collectively, the “Services”), as the same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Services under this Agreement shall be in furtherance of the San Diego Bay tideland trust for the accommodation of commerce, navigation, fisheries, and recreation on said trust tidelands for the benefit of all of the people of the State of California.

2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be effective as August 19, 2022 and shall terminate on June 30, 2030, subject to earlier termination as provided below. For purposes of this Agreement, each year beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of the following year shall be referred to herein as a “Service Year.”

3. COMPENSATION. For performance of Services, District shall compensate City as follows:
a. Baseline Rate for Services Provided. Commencing on August 19, 2022, District shall pay City one million three hundred thirty thousand one hundred eighteen dollars ($1,330,118) (the “Initial Baseline Rate”) each Service Year for Services until the Initial Baseline Rate is adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Initial Baseline Rate, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be referred to herein as the “Baseline Rate.”
City of Coronado Page 225
Attachment 1

b. Periodic Baseline Rate Resets. The Baseline Rate shall be subject to adjustment periodically on the following dates (each a “Baseline Reset Date”):

First Baseline Reset July 1, 2025
Second Baseline Reset July 1, 2028
At least six (6) months before a scheduled Baseline Reset Date, the Parties shall meet and confer regarding fair and appropriate cost and service standards and commence good faith efforts to renegotiate the Baseline Rate and the accompanying Scope of Services, taking into account relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the actual documented costs of providing the Services and the results and findings of any Performance Audit (as defined in Section 4.c below) performed prior to such time or completed at any time during such negotiations. Following such discussions and negotiations, the Parties may jointly, or each separately, present a new Baseline Rate (which shall include a Scope of Services) to the Board of Port Commissioners (the “Board”) for approval in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. Any Baseline Rate approved by the Board pursuant to this Section 3.b may differ from a Baseline Rate presented to the Board and may ultimately be an increase or a decrease from the Baseline Rate previously in effect. If the Board fails to approve a new Baseline Rate or if the Board approves a Baseline Rate that is unacceptable to the City on or prior to a Baseline Reset Date, then the Baseline Rate shall adjust pursuant to Section 3.c below, the Scope of Services then in effect shall continue to be effective, and the Parties shall continue to negotiate in good faith; provided that if the Board, despite the Parties’ good faith efforts and each Party’s compliance with the terms of this Section 3.b, fails to approve a new Baseline Rate acceptable to the City on or before the date that is six (6) months following the Baseline Reset Date, then, subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.c below, either the Baseline Rate (as City of Coronado Page 226
Attachment 1

adjusted and subject to further adjustment pursuant to Section 3.c below) and the Scope of Services then in effect shall continue to apply until the Parties are to again commence Baseline Rate negotiations in accordance with terms set forth above, or alternatively, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon six (6) months’ prior written notice in accordance with Section 17 below. If a new Baseline Rate is approved by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, and accepted by the City on or before the date that is six (6) months following a Baseline Reset Date, then (i) in the event that the updated Scope of Services does not result in increased levels of Services as compared to the levels of Services in effect prior to the applicable Baseline Reset Date, then such new Baseline Rate (including the updated Scope of Services) shall become effective as of such Baseline Reset Date, or (ii) in the event that the updated Scope of Services results in increased levels of Services as compared to the levels of Services in effect prior to the applicable Baseline Reset Date, then such new Baseline Rate shall become the new Baseline Rate (including the updated Scope of Services) effective as of the first day of the quarter immediately following the Parties reaching an agreement. Following any establishment of a new Baseline Rate (and updated Scope of Services) pursuant to the previous sentence, the Baseline Rate shall be adjusted thereafter as described in Section 3.c below.

Following any establishment of a new Baseline Rate as set forth in this Section 3.b, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement (which amendment may be executed by the Executive Director of the District or their designee and the City Manager or their designee) solely to document (i) the new Baseline Rate, (ii) the accompanying Scope of Services, and (iii) the effective date of the new Baseline Rate and accompanying Scope of Services.

City of Coronado Page 227
Attachment 1

c. Annual Baseline Rate Increases. Commencing on July 1, 2023 and on each July 1 thereafter during the Term, the Baseline Rate shall be increased by four percent (4%) (the “Annual Baseline Increase”); provided, however, the procedures and provisions set forth in Section 3.b above shall control with respect to the effective Baseline Rate (or any adjustment thereof) on or following a Baseline Reset Date.

If the City provides the District with reasonable justification in writing that the Baseline Rate (as adjusted pursuant to an Annual Baseline Increase, distinguished from establishing a new Baseline Rate pursuant to Section

3.b above) is insufficient to cover the costs of the Services to be provided pursuant to the then applicable Scope of Services, then the City shall have the right to adjust the level of Services in accordance with the terms of Section 3.f below; provided, however, that in no event (whether pursuant to a Service level adjustment under Section 3.f or otherwise) shall Services be adjusted to a level so that the value of such level of Services is less than the corresponding Baseline Rate then in effect.
d. Events for Deferred Payments and Service Level Adjustments. The Parties agree that upon the occurrence of certain unforeseeable events, the District may defer certain payments due under this Agreement and/or the District or the City may adjust the level of Services being provided by the City hereunder. Each of the following events (each an “Adjustment Event”) may justify Deferred Payments as provided in Section 3.e below or a level of Service adjustment as provided in Section 3.f below:
(1) Unanticipated events or needs that would require significant District budget cuts in the Service Year during which the events or needs occur and/or the Service Year immediately thereafter; or City of Coronado Page 228
Attachment 1

(2) Acts of God, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, acts of terrorism, pandemics, and/or other force majeure type events beyond the reasonable control of a Party that cause an unforeseen and significant reduction in District revenue;
(3) Expenses associated with bad debt, benefit cost increases, pollution remediation costs, judgments, and/or settlement costs;
(4) Unanticipated costs associated with regulatory requirements and/or legal mandates; or
(5) A need by District to replenish operating reserves should reserves fall below levels required by the then current policies of the Board of Port Commissioners.
e. Deferred Payments. Following the occurrence of one or more Adjustment Events, the District may defer an amount less than or equal to an Annual Baseline Increase attributable to the next Service Year (i.e., an amount equal to a four percent (4%) increase to the Baseline Rate for the applicable Services Year) by providing the City with written notice no less than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Service Year. In no event over the Term may the District defer an Annual Baseline Increase(s) attributable to more than five (5) Service Years on a cumulative basis. Any amount deferred pursuant to this Section 3.e shall be referred to as a “Deferred Payment”.

Any Deferred Payment(s) shall be repaid in the year following the deferral.

For example, if the District elects, at a given time, to defer the Annual Baseline Increase due for the second Service Year during the Term, the associated Deferred Payment must be repaid, in equal quarterly installments, during the third Service Year at the same time the District makes or would otherwise be obligated to make payments pursuant to Section 3.g below; or in the case that the District elects to defer the Annual City of Coronado Page 229
Attachment 1

Baseline Increase due for the last Service Year of the Term, then the associated Deferred Payment must be repaid, in equal quarterly installments, during the year that follows at the same time the District would otherwise have been obligated to make payments pursuant to Section 3.g below. Subject to the limits set forth above, the District may elect to defer Annual Baseline Increases in accordance with the terms hereof on one or more occasions. No interest shall accrue and be payable with respect to any Deferred Payment. The District’s obligation to repay any Deferred Payment in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.e shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
f. Service Level Adjustments. In the case of the District, following the occurrence of one or more Adjustment Events, or in the case of the City, following the occurrence of an Adjustment Event or pursuant to Section 3.c above, levels of Services may be reasonably reduced by either the District or the City. Should either Party require a reduction to the level of Services following an Adjustment Event applicable to such Party or, in the case of the City, pursuant to Section 3.c as provided above, then such Party shall notify the other Party of the request, the applicable Services to be reduced, the length of the reduction, and an explanation for the same. Within sixty (60) days of receiving or sending, as applicable, an adjustment request, the City shall provide to District a detailed summary of changes to the level of Services, the duration of such changes, and the associated reduction in cost to the City (an “Adjustment Summary”). Prior to an adjustment in Services becoming effective, an Adjustment Summary shall be subject to the Executive Director of District’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In connection with an Adjustment Summary, if reduced levels of Services will result in a lower cost to City to provide the Services, then amounts owed hereunder by the District shall be reduced commensurate with the reduced levels of Services. Upon the District’s approval of any Adjustment Summary, (i) the corresponding City of Coronado Page 230
Attachment 1

adjustments to the levels of Services and amounts due hereunder shall immediately become effective and (ii) such adjustments and amounts shall be incorporated into a letter agreement or amendment to this Agreement executed by both Parties to amend this Agreement solely in order to document the adjustments.
g. Reimbursement Process. City shall submit written requests for reimbursement to District for equal quarterly payments under this Agreement. Such requests shall include amounts due for the Service Year in question and, if applicable, any Deferred Payment or amounts due pursuant to Section 16 below. Written requests shall be submitted on a quarterly basis, at the end of each fiscal quarter. District agrees to make reimbursement payments to City within thirty (30) days of receipt of a properly prepared request for reimbursement. Failure to make timely demand for payment shall not limit City’s right to payment or District’s obligation to pay.

4. RECORDS
a. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, City shall maintain full and complete records of the cost of Services performed under this Agreement. Such documentation, if prepared and maintained in the regular course of business, is to include time cards, contracts, receipts, original invoices, canceled checks, payroll documentation, calls for service records, dispatch records, police and fire budget data, other budget data used to calculate citywide overhead factors, periodic logs maintained by police, fire, and EMS staff, and any other documentation, information, and/or materials related to the Services (collectively, “Service Records”).

Such Service Records shall be open to inspection by District at all reasonable times in the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City will not be required to provide Service Records that are protected by applicable law or City of Coronado Page 231
Attachment 1

judicial proceedings, or that contain personal confidential information of City employees or agents (such as personnel records).
b. Service Records shall be maintained by City for a period of three (3) years after completion of services to be performed under this Agreement or until all disputes, appeals, litigation or claims arising from this Agreement have been resolved, whichever is later.
c. City understands and agrees that District, at all times under this Agreement and at District’s cost and expense, has the right to review and audit Service Records and work in progress and, no more than once per Service Year, to conduct a performance audit and service study (a “Performance Audit”) of all Service Records, whether or not final, which City or anyone else associated with the Services has prepared or which relate to the Services which City is performing for District pursuant to this Agreement regardless of whether such records have previously been provided to District. When reasonably feasible, City shall provide District at City’s expense a copy of all such records within ten (10) working days of a written request by District, unless the requested records are voluminous in nature, in which case the City shall, within a reasonable timeframe, provide access to such records for inspection at reasonable times at the City’s office or facilities. City shall cooperate fully and take all actions reasonably necessary to assist the District in the completion of the Performance Audit, including the disclosure of information relating to the cost, actual performance, and accounting of the Services. District’s right shall also include inspection at reasonable times of the City’s office or facilities, which are engaged in the performance of Services pursuant to this Agreement. City shall, at no cost to District, furnish reasonable facilities and assistance for such any review and audit conducted hereunder. In the event the City fails to provide the records within the required timeframes set forth above and such failure continues for an additional thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from District, City of Coronado Page 232
Attachment 1

the City shall be precluded from receiving any compensation due under this Agreement until such documents are provided. In connection with any Performance Audit, the District shall, in cooperation with the City, seek to establish reasonable metrics to measure the costs of the Services for the Service Year that is the subject of the Performance Audit and expected costs for the Service Years that follow.

5. CITY’S SUB-CONTRACTORS
a. It may be necessary for City to sub-contract for the performance of certain technical services or other services for City to perform and complete the required Services; provided, however, the City shall notify the District of all City’s sub-contractors providing any services hereunder. The City shall remain responsible to District for any and all Services and obligations required under this Agreement, whether performed by City or City’s subcontractors. City shall compensate each City’s sub-contractors in the time periods required by law. Any City’s sub-contractors employed by City shall be independent and not agents of District. City shall ensure that City’s subcontractors satisfy all substantive requirements for the work set forth by this Agreement, including insurance and indemnification.
b. City shall also endeavor to include a clause in its Agreements with City’s sub-contractors which reserves the right, during the performance of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following termination of this Agreement, for a District representative to audit any cost, compensation or settlement resulting from any items set forth in this Agreement. This clause shall also require City’s sub-contractors to retain all necessary records for a period of three (3) years after completion of services to be performed under this Agreement or until all disputes, appeals, litigation or claims arising from this Agreement have been resolved, whichever is later.

City of Coronado Page 233
Attachment 1

6. COMPLIANCE
a. In performance of this Agreement, City and City’s sub-contractors shall comply with the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the American with Disabilities Act, and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws prohibiting discrimination, including without limitation, laws prohibiting discrimination because of age, ancestry, color, creed, denial of family and medical care leave, disability, marital status, medical condition, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. City shall comply with the prevailing wage provisions of the Labor Code and any other prevailing wage laws, and the Political Reform Act provisions of the Government Code, as applicable.
b. City shall comply with all Federal, State, regional and local laws, and district Ordinances and Regulations applicable to the performance of services under this Agreement as exist now or as may be added or amended.

7. INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS. City shall provide the Services required by this Agreement and arrive at conclusions with respect to the rendition of information, advice or recommendations, independent of the control and direction of District, other than normal contract monitoring.

8. ASSIGNMENT. This is a personal services Agreement between the Parties and neither Party shall not assign or transfer voluntarily or involuntarily any of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other Party hereto.

9. MUTUAL INDEMNITY
a. To the fullest extent provided by law, City agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the District, its agents, officers, employees, and subcontractors (collectively, the “District Parties”), from and against any claim, demand, action, proceeding, suit, liability, damage, cost (including City of Coronado Page 234
Attachment 1

The formation, interpretation and City of Coronado Page 239
Attachment 1

performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

14. INDEPENDENT REVIEW. Each Party hereto declares and represents that in entering into this Agreement it has relied and is relying solely upon its own judgment, belief and knowledge of the nature, extent, effect and consequence relating thereto. Each Party further declares and represents that this Agreement is being made without reliance upon any statement or representation not contained herein of any other party, or any representative, agent or attorney of any other party.

15. INTEGRATION AND MODIFICATION. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussion, obligations and rights of the Parties in respect of each other regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. There is no other written or oral understanding between the Parties. No modifications, amendment or alteration of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties hereto.

16. PRIOR AGREEMENT. Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement between the District and the City for Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services filed in the Office of the District Clerk on June 30, 2022 as Document No. 74272 (the “Prior Services Agreement”). As of the mutual execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the Prior Services Agreement shall automatically terminate without the need for additional action by either Party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligations of District or City under the Prior Services Agreement accruing or arising on or prior to such termination, any obligations arising under Section 8 of the Prior Services Agreement, and/or any obligations which by their terms survive such termination, shall remain enforceable by District or City, as applicable.

17. TERMINATION. In addition to any other rights and remedies allowed by law, this Agreement may be terminated with or without cause by providing written notice to City of Coronado Page 240
Attachment 1

the other Party specifying the date of such termination, which termination date shall be no less than six (6) months after to the date on which the non-terminating Party receives the termination notice.

In that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials shall at the option of District be delivered by City to the Don L. Nay Port Administration Building (located at 3165 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California 92101). Termination of this Agreement by Executive Director (President/CEO) as provided in this Section 17 shall release District from any further fee or claim hereunder by City other than the fee earned for services which were performed prior to termination but not yet paid.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
a. If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the alleged breach thereof, and is not settled by direct negotiation or such other procedures as may be agreed, and if such dispute is not otherwise time barred or in jeopardy of becoming time barred, the Parties agree to first try in good faith to settle the dispute amicably by mediation administered at San Diego, California, by the American Arbitration Association, or by such other provider as the Parties may mutually select, prior to initiating any litigation or arbitration. Notice of any such dispute must be filed in writing with the other Party within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. Any resultant Agreements shall be documented and may be used as the basis for an amendment or directive as appropriate.
b. If mediation is unsuccessful in settling all disputes that are not otherwise time barred, and if both Parties agree in their sole and absolute discretion, any still unresolved disputes may be resolved by arbitration administered at San Diego, California, by the American Arbitration Association, or by such other provider as the Parties may mutually select, provided, however, that the Arbitration Award shall be non-binding and advisory only. Any resultant City of Coronado Page 241
Attachment 1

Agreements shall be documented and may be used as the basis for an amendment or directive as appropriate. On demand of the arbitrator or any Party to this Agreement, sub-contractor and all parties bound by this arbitration provision agree to join in and become parties to the arbitration proceeding.
c. The foregoing mediation and arbitration procedures notwithstanding, all claim filing requirements of the Agreement documents, the California Government Code, and otherwise, shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether or not such dispute avoidance and resolution procedures have been implemented, and the time periods within which claims are to be filed or presented to the District or City Clerk as required by said Agreement, Government Code, and otherwise, shall not be waived, extended or tolled thereby. If a claim is not timely filed or presented, such claim shall be time barred and the above dispute avoidance and resolution procedures, whether or not implemented or then pending, shall likewise be time barred as to such claims. No Party shall be required to proceed with the foregoing mediation and arbitration procedures before filing a claim.

19. PAYMENT BY DISTRICT. Payment by the District pursuant to this Agreement does not represent that the District has made a detailed examination, audit, or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted for payment by the City, made an exhaustive inspection to check the quality or quantity of the services performed by the City, made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the City has used money previously paid on account by the District, or constitute a waiver of claims against the City by the District. Acceptance of payment likewise shall not constitute a waiver of claims against the District by the City.

20. CAPTIONS. The captions by which the sections of this Agreement are identified are for convenience only and shall have no effect upon its interpretation.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
August 16, 2022 10d

APPROVE THE FINAL DRAFT SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND

ADAPTATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Final Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council authorized staff in November 2018 to submit a grant application to Caltrans to help fund a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment/Adaptation Plan (SLR VA/AP), which is a voluntary plan intended to inform City decision-makers and residents of potential impacts from future sea level rise when making land use and infrastructure decisions. The City’s grant application was successful and, following the selection of a technical consultant in July 2020, work began on the Vulnerability Assessment portion of the project. While preparing the Vulnerability Assessment portion, staff and consultants identified that the sea level rise forecast model did not capture the existing rip-rap revetment along Ocean Boulevard, and in April 2021 City Council authorized a change order to prepare a custom wave run-up model to accurately depict existing topography.

In June 2021, the consultants completed the draft SLR VA, and in July 2021 the City Council authorized staff to proceed with public engagement efforts and the preparation of the draft SLR AP. An extensive public outreach campaign was conducted and included two virtual meetings, one in-person meeting, several rounds of stakeholder meetings, a public survey, a dedicated website, and engagement with residents.

On March 18, 2022, the draft SLR VA/AP was released for a 60-day public review and comment period which concluded on May 18, 2022. Subsequently, staff and consultants updated the SLR VA/AP based on public feedback, and the draft final version is available at https://commentcoronado.org/7724/widgets/25132/documents/33592. A complete list of comments and staff responses is included in Attachment 1.

ANALYSIS:

Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Summary
The SLR VA portion of the document includes a description of how coastal processes have shaped the City to date, an inventory of existing land uses and infrastructure, maps that depict the potential effects of incremental sea level rise through the year 2110, an analysis of how vulnerable each resource is to sea level rise, and a high-level economic impact analysis. The report allows staff, the City Council, and the public to get a baseline understanding of the risks of sea level rise to the City without any mitigation.

Due to the high degree of uncertainty associated with predicting when and at what rate sea level rise will occur, the study analyzed how sea level rise could impact the City over a range of sea level rise values in equal increments between 0.8 feet and 4.9 feet or 0.25 meters to 1.5 meters.

For reference, the current best available science projects a 5% chance of 0.8 feet of sea level rise occurring by 2030 and 4.9 feet by 2110, but the chances could change over time. While there has City of Coronado Page 253
been 10 inches of sea level rise in the San Diego region since 1906, the past does not necessarily predict the future, and scientists are projecting sea level rise to accelerate over time.

The SLR VA revealed that the Pacific Ocean coastline is relatively resilient to sea level rise due to wide sandy beaches and higher elevations in certain locations. However, the San Diego Bay coastline is projected to experience flooding under high future sea level rise conditions. Overall, stormwater outlets, roads (especially SR-75), yacht clubs, and development in low-lying areas such as the Coronado Cays and the former Spanish Bight area are the most vulnerable resources in the City. A staff report was presented to City Council in July 2021 with a more detailed description of the SLR VA and is included as Attachment 2.

Seal Level Rise Adaptation Plan Summary
The SLR AP includes a variety of potential adaptation strategies that serve as the City's “toolbox” to provide the City Council with options to protect critical infrastructure and facilities, and to help property owners plan for and address potential sea level rise impacts. Importantly, all potential strategies are tied to observable sea level rise, rather than to specific dates, and this is discussed further in this analysis. It also includes approximate cost estimates for various adaptation strategies.

The SLR AP is not meant to dictate a specific set of actions the City must take, but rather provide a range of options to be further evaluated, and potentially implemented in the future. It is flexible and intended to be revised over time as new information emerges, climate science advances, and community preferences evolve. Because the City only owns ~5% of the coastline, effective adaptation planning and management will require close coordination between the City, the Navy, the Port of San Diego, California Department of Parks and Recreation, private property owners, the California Department of Transportation, and other agencies to ensure a comprehensive approach to sea level rise adaptation. The plan is organized into Overarching Adaptation Strategies that are applicable City-wide and Adaptation Action Area Strategies that are tailored to the specifics of the location and vulnerable infrastructure.

Overarching Adaptation Strategies
Table 1 provides a summary of the overarching adaptation strategies, which are applicable Citywide and meant to complement location- and infrastructure-specific strategies.

Table 1. Summary of Overarching Adaptation Strategies
Type Strategy Description
Monitor sea level rise Regular review of local sea level data using tidal gauges can help Coronado understand the rate at which sea level rise is progressing, and when new adaptation measures should be triggered for implementation.

Adaptive
Management
Join the Community
Rating System
program to reduce
flood insurance costs
Participation in the Community Rating System helps provide discounted flood insurance premium rates to residents and businesses. To participate, communities implement floodplain management practices that exceed the minimum
requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. This strategy would not be triggered for implementation until the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood
insurance rate map updates show more property in Coronado as vulnerable to the 100-year storm (i.e., when the maps are updated to account for sea level rise.)
City of Coronado Page 254
Type Strategy Description
Engineering Develop sea level rise
design guidelines or
standards
Sea level rise design guidelines would help ensure that City capital projects have resilience measures (e.g., elevating structures in a floodplain, installing flood gates) incorporated from the start and that existing at-risk infrastructure receives a resilience upgrade when it comes time for a retrofit.

Communicate flood
warnings to the public
Early warning systems, public notice of flood forecasts, and other channels of communication and data tracking can help provide the public with key information and timely warnings to prevent injuries during forecasted coastal storm events.

Track flood locations
and impacts
Collecting data will help to prioritize areas that experience repeated or intense flooding for investment in flood resilience measures or restriction of development in those areas.

Operational
Continue to update
emergency
management planning
documents to include
climate change, as
needed
Updated emergency management plans will help ensure that emergency managers and responders are equipped to
handle the impacts of climate change and have adequately prepared staff and resources in line with anticipated
conditions.

Planning Participate in local and
regional planning
efforts
Continued participation in groups such as the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative can strengthen coordination and alignment of planning efforts.

Seek federal and state
adaptation funding
State and federal sources of grant funding are available to jurisdictions to help implement adaptation measures,
including from Caltrans and FEMA.

Incentivize private
building retrofits
Incentives for implementing adaptation strategies can help increase the likelihood of their uptake and can also be a useful tool for encouraging action by private property owners.

Utilize available
planning tools and
techniques
Planning tools can help ensure future private development is resilient to sea level rise. Options include zoning adjustments (e.g., increasing setback requirements) and Transfers of Development Rights, (e.g., redirecting development that would otherwise occur on the land to an area suitable for denser development) among others.

Public outreach about sea level rise would help increase residents’ understanding of climate change risks and
personal property adaptation options, in addition to bolstering public support for City adaptation actions.

Adaptation Action Area Strategies
To understand location-specific adaptation options, the areas owned or operated by the City of Coronado were broken up into nine adaptation Action Areas (Figure 1) plus a section specifically on stormwater. Adaptation strategies were generally not developed for Navy-owned land, Port properties, and State land (e.g., California State Parks), but close coordination will need to occur with those partners to implement effective adaptation measures. However, adaptation strategies are described for Port properties within City-owned facilities, including the golf course and City Hall area and State Route 75 (SR75), which is critical City infrastructure and of particular interest to Caltrans who provided substantial funding for the project.

City of Coronado Page 255
For each Action Area, a potential suite of adaptation strategies is presented as adaptation pathways, which sequence related strategies to reduce risk efficiently and effectively over time.

The adaptation pathways show what strategies to consider for each Action Area, when to start planning for each strategy based on observable sea level rise, and when to implement the strategies. The adaptation strategies fall within five categories:
• Hard engineering: Strategies that involve constructing or expanding a permanent structure (e.g., seawalls, elevating infrastructure).
• Nature-based: Strategies that restore a natural feature using components of the environment (e.g., dunes, wetlands).
• Operational: Temporary strategies that are used by the City to reduce safety risks (e.g., road closures).
• Planning: Strategies that use urban planning tools, such as zoning, or planning studies to help lay the groundwork for future hard engineering, nature-based or managed retreat strategies.
• Managed retreat: Strategies that relinquish land to the natural environment.

Recognizing the uncertainty associated with when sea level rise projections may occur, the potential adaptation strategies in the Adaptation Plan are tied to “triggers,” such as observable sea level rise points, which will require monitoring over time. Adaptation strategies are intended to build on one another as triggers are reached (e.g., the end of effectiveness of a related strategy; decreased beach width; forecasted storm) with more advanced or aggressive strategies being triggered over time. In some cases, there may be multiple potential adaptation strategies that would protect an area, which are both presented for consideration. This flexible approach of gradually increasing protection levels over time allows for the selection of the “best” option to be Figure 1. The City of Coronado adaptation Action Areas.

determined when needed rather than predetermining a strict set of actions now based on imprecise sea level rise projections over the course of the next 50-100 years. For each Action Area, one or more “adaptation pathways” is presented which is a graphic that visually shows the adaptation options and the associated triggers. Figure 2 below is an example of an adaptation pathway.

Figure 2. Action Area 1 Pathway
Table 2 summarizes the key takeaways for each of the ten Adaptation Action Areas.

Table 2. Summary of Adaptation Action Area Adaptation Pathways Action Area Near-term Priorities Long-term Strategies AA1: Edge of Navy property to Harborview Park Continue close coordination with the Navy
and Port. Begin planning for potential zoning
and building code modifications to increase
setbacks and raise height allowances, as
well as for special assessments in the
Spanish Bight area that could fund longerterm engineered solutions. Develop operational strategies to manage potential
flooding of First Street and the neighborhood
parks.

The Navy may be best suited to
implement strategies in this area at
First and Alameda. If needed, City
actions could include elevating First
Street and installing flood walls along
Naval Air Station North Island
(NASNI) to stop flooding from coming
in from the Navy’s land. Bayview Park
could be redesigned to accommodate
flooding or could be returned to
nature.

City of Coronado Page 257
Action Area Near-term Priorities Long-term Strategies AA2: Harborview Park to Coronado Bridge Continued coordination with the Port is
critical since the Port owns most of the
bayside land in this area and may be better
suited to implement an effective sea level
rise adaptation strategy.

If needed, City actions could include
elevating First Street to serve as a
barrier against further inland flooding.

AA3: Coronado Municipal Golf Course
Continued coordination with the Port is
essential since the golf course land is leased
from the Port. Near-term solutions include
raising and reinforcing the existing riprap
revetment and installing vegetated sand
dunes or cobble material to widen and raise
the buffer between the golf course and the
water. Operational strategies could be used
to manage any severe storm flooding.

Two long-term adaptation pathways
may be considered:

Option 1: An engineering approach
focused on retaining the golf course
by raising revetments, building a
seawall, regrading the golf course,
and elevating infrastructure over time.

Option 2: A managed retreat
approach that would eventually close
the golf course and relocate the
tennis center while protecting inland
residences.

AA4: Edge of Golf Course to Strand Way parking
Continued close coordination with the Port is
essential for reducing sea level rise risks in
this area since they own most of the bayside
land. The historic restaurant building may
need to be elevated or relocated. Strand
Way may be temporarily closed during
particularly severe coastal storms.

City actions could include elevating
Strand Way to protect the roadway
and inland areas from flooding and
installing flood walls in areas where
flooding is projected to occur.

AA5: Coronado City Hall to Glorietta Bay Park
Coordinate with the Port and Navy.

Annually reposition the sand at Glorietta Bay
Park to create dunes along the sandy beach
area prior to the winter storm season. When
severe storms are forecasted, close the boat
ramp and Glorietta Bay Park, and sandbag
around the City’s facilities (e.g., City Hall,
Community Center).

Two long-term adaptation pathways
may be considered:

Option 1: An engineering approach
focused on elevating the existing
seawalls and redesigning Glorietta
Bay Park.

Option 2: A managed retreat
approach that includes relocating City
services away from this area, closing
Glorietta Bay Park, and elevating
Strand Way.

AA6: Coronado Beach
Relocate mobile lifeguard stations to higher
elevation areas when storms are forecasted.

Temporary sand berms could be constructed
for permanent structures such as the Main
Lifeguard Tower. Wet floodproof the
restrooms and tower for further protection.

Proactively maintain the beach width
with beach renourishment as needed
and construct an elevated dune or
deployable flood barrier by Sunset
Park.

AA 7: Coronado Shores Beach area to Avenida Lunar
Continue working with the SANDAG
Regional Shoreline Monitoring Program to
monitor beach width and plan renourishment.

In advance of storms, relocate mobile
lifeguard stations and close beach parking
areas. Establish a special assessment or a
joint funding venture with the Coronado
Shores condominium towers and Hotel del
Coronado to fund future structural
improvements.

Structural improvements and
additions to flood walls and groins
along with continued beach
renourishment.

City of Coronado Page 258
Action Area Near-term Priorities Long-term Strategies AA8: State Route 75 Closely coordinate with State Parks, the City
of Imperial Beach, the Port, and the Navy.

Create operational plans that outline
contingencies for emergency service vehicle
access, road closure guidance, and when to
install temporary flood barriers (e.g., tiger
dams). Conduct beach nourishment at
vulnerable low points near the road.

Install dunes alongside the road, and
ultimately elevate the road and
adjacent bikeway.

AA 9: Coronado Cays Residential Area
Continue close coordination with the Port
which owns land in this area. To address
periodic storm flooding, develop operational
plans that detail when to employ warning
systems, sandbagging, or other deployable
flood barriers. Consider implementing
redevelopment restrictions or planning for
special assessments to raise funds from
local homeowners to collectively raise the
seawalls on homeowner property.

Two long-term adaptation pathways
may be considered:

Option 1: An engineering approach
focused on elevating existing
seawalls and roads where and when
necessary.

Option 2: An eventual managed
retreat approach focused on providing
residents with fair market value for
their homes.

AA S: Stormwater Systems
Conduct groundwater depth and seepage
studies, and hydraulic studies to inform the
timeline and type of stormwater system
adaptation options. Expand the use of green
infrastructure (e.g., street trees and
permeable medians) and install backflow
preventers at stormwater outfalls that are
already experiencing occasional inundation.

Dry-proof at-risk stormwater pump
stations and install additional pump
stations, as needed.

Near-Term Actions
After approving the SLR VA/AP, the near-term actions are generally the actions summarized in the City-wide approaches to sea level rise. These include monitoring sea level rise on a yearly basis (as applicable) and presenting an update to Council, developing sea level rise design guidelines or standards for city infrastructure, coordinating with emergency services to ensure that emergency plans are up to date, and continuing the operational measures such as sandbagging which are already being done in advance of storms, and coordination with neighboring agencies, including applying for grant funding for any further studies or projects that City Council may approve.

The Adaptation Plan recommends studying groundwater and stormwater as soon as possible to determine what changes might be needed most immediately. Besides those items, generally, the potential adaptation strategies are not triggered until at least 0.8 feet of sea level rise (which has a 5% chance of occurring by 2030), and the initial actions at 0.8 feet include updates to City codes, considering special assessment districts, regrading, or planning for smaller sea wall projects. As yearly monitoring occurs, staff will bring forward the specific actions recommended within the Adaptation Plan for City Council consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the plan will not have a direct fiscal impact; however, implementation of future adaptation measures would have significant cost implications for the City. The Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan was funded through a $221,000 Caltrans grant and a $57,100 City contribution for a total project budget of $278,100. The project has been completed within budget.

Where relevant and applicable, requests for specific edits were incorporated into the documents. See individual letters and responses to see more information about the edits and where they were incorporated.

City of Coronado Page 263
3 Comment Theme 2 – Importance of Collaboration
Many commentors emphasized the importance of continued collaboration with other agencies and staff agrees, especially because the City only controls 5% of the coastline. Effective adaptation planning and management will require coordination and communication between the City, the Navy, the Port of San Diego (Port), California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks), private property owners, utility companies, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and others to ensure a comprehensive approach to sea level rise adaptation.

Comment Theme 3 – Questions on the Best Available Science Several respondents noted the release of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report and inquired as to whether the City’s findings are based on the best available science. The City’s sea level rise projections were based on the 2018 Ocean Protection Council State of California Sea Level Rise Guidance, currently identified as the best-available science at the state level and used by other state agencies such as Caltrans when projects are located in the coastal zone. These projections are based on those published by NOAA in 2017, tailored further to specific locations along the California coast. While new NOAA projections have recently been released, they are not specifically tailored to California. Changes from the 2017 report are primarily related to shifts in potential timing of sea level rise scenarios, not the overall amount of sea level rise projected by the end of the century. While the Vulnerability Assessment was completed prior to the release of NOAA’s latest report, the project team found it to be consistent with the conclusions in the City’s documents.

The reality is the climate science is constantly evolving, and new information will continue to be released.

It is not reasonable to update City documents with each new technical report on sea level rise. That is why both the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan are designed to accommodate changes in sea level rise projections over time by incorporating flexibility in adaptation options and not tying increments of sea level rise to specific time horizons. In general, the documents focus on tying adaptation strategies to observable sea level rise, rather than projections or dates.

Comment Theme 4 – Effects of Sea Level Rise on Groundwater Several comments were received which pointed out the connection between rising seas to rising groundwater, and questioned why the documents do not include analysis of how rising groundwater may impact the City. This question also came up at public workshops. The City agrees that rising groundwater impacts could certainly be a concern in the future, and the Adaptation Plan includes a potential strategy as a part of the Action Area for stormwater to conduct a separate study on groundwater. The reason why an in-depth analysis of rising groundwater is not currently included is two-fold: firstly, when work began on this report, no data on rising groundwater was available and was therefore not in the scope of the project. Secondly, even though there is now modeling available for groundwater, the data is brand new and has not yet been vetted as to its relation to local geological conditions. In any case, the consultants reviewed the groundwater data from CoSMoS and projected impacts from groundwater emerging from the ground surface largely coincide with flood projections included in the Vulnerability Assessment. The Spanish Bight area is likely to first experience impacts from rising groundwater due to its relatively low elevations, and initial impacts might be seen at 1.5 meters of sea level rise. The Adaptation Plan recommends studying groundwater further in additional study in the future.

Comment Theme 5 – Questions on CoSMoS results for the Cays A few commenters wondered how accurate CoSMoS results are, particularly for the Cays. Commenters questioned whether the seawalls at the Cays are captured in the models. The CoSMos model results and ground conditions were reevaluated and no anomalies were identified. Seawalls within the Cays do not extend significantly above the ground surface and were accurately portrayed in the model and vulnerability maps.

Subject: Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan Workshop #1 - Photos Hi Jane:

Looking forward to attending the workshop today.

Please find attached a few photos taken along Coronado's tidelands during the January 2020 King Tides:
* Broadstone Apartments along Bayshore Bikeway
* Coronado Ferry Landing Pier (2 photos)
* Peohe’s Restaurant
I would like to suggest the photos, and any additional photos taken by the public, be included in the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan.

The more community involvement in this process the better.

Note the photos are included in the California Coastal Commission King Tides Project that helps us visualize future sea level by observing the highest tides of today.

Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Coronado Sea Level Rise: Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan comments Good afternoon Jane,
The Sustainability/Climate Action Branch in Caltrans District 11 has reviewed the City of Coronado’s draft Vulnerability Assessment during the draft review period, and considered the Adaption Plan that is being developed. Caltrans Headquarters also provided comments that are included below with the District 11 comments:
1- Discuss the Local Coastal Plan policies (currently no mention) See response B.1. 2- Transportation assets and systems are a concern of the community (based on the workshop) and Caltrans. Evacuation planning should be a main consideration in the Adaptation Report, and collaboration with SANDAG efforts is advised. See response B.2.
3- Please incorporate model policies and concepts from the public draft guidance for LCPs, Critical Infrastructure at Risk: Sea Level Rise Planning Guidance for California's Coastal Zone
https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/slr/SLR%20Guidance_Critical%20Infrastructure _8.16.21_FINAL_FullPDF.pdf See response B.3.
4- Is the description of inundation as a temporary episodic event accurate? Permanent impacts are suspected. See response B.4.
5- The document should specifically define terms used throughout the sections. For instance, the terms sustainability, resiliency, mitigation, and adaptation could be interpreted several ways by various groups or individuals. Clear definitions will strengthen the goals of the document. See response B.5. 6- Historical imagery is powerful and very well used. More recent extreme weather events might also enhance the document. The end of the 1960s and the early 1990s likely have some good shots in the archives. See response B.6. 7- On the individual vulnerability assessment sheets – include the projected timeframe associated with the chosen SLR increment. This will help set the stage for phased adaptative approaches in the adaptation plan. See response B.7. 8- Recommend using number identifiers on the maps to easily reference assets at risk.

Adding universal numbers to these will link their location to maps (page 13 and throughout). Make sure to also add table and image numbers for easy reference.

See response B.8.
9- Consider drainage and stormwater issues- these might be very problematic with SLR, as it is in Imperial Beach. See response B.9.
10- For the upcoming adaptation plan, need to take the evaluation of the individual risk assessments and link them for a comprehensive/ interconnected evaluation.
a. For Example: How would the risks to the transportation network affect the ability for Emergency Services, if the transportation network is permanently City of Coronado Page 267
7 inundated what sort of land use modification would be needed and vice versa. See response B.10.
11- State Route 75 is currently owned and operated by Caltrans. However, relinquishment is very likely to the City of Coronado in the near future. It is recommended to include qualifiers in the document that can be easily updated or removed, such as “the owner/operator of SR 75…”. See response B.11. 12- Climate adaptations for transportation infrastructure will be expensive. It is recommended that there be a level of transparency included in the adaptation plan that indicates that the city will likely not be able to achieve all the potential infrastructure changes needed to withstand the effects of climate change.

Prioritizations of projects will be difficult, as will balancing political pressures with the needs of the more disadvantaged areas. Achieving climate equity will likely be a regional challenge and extra focus on this sensitive focus area is critical for success. See response B.12.
13- Disadvantaged communities and equity? Identification and inclusion of these groups and individuals in both the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan should be a priority. See response B.13.
14- Include a framework for key stakeholders that are important to the development of the next step of the Adaptation Plan. Comment noted. 15- Information sharing: San Diego Tribune, Sea level rise will be disastrous for San Diego if we don’t address it now

8 Letter B Responses
Response B.1: While the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan is a separate document from the Local Coastal Program (LCP), there are many LCP policies that complement this effort. The following LCP policies are most applicable to the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan:

A.1. Preserve existing shoreline access over public lands.

A.4. Ascertain and preserve public prescriptive rights.

B.1. Preserve existing public recreational facilities for public use.

B.5. Encourage the protection of any available public waterfront land suitable for future recreational development.

E.1. Require that new development shall assure coastal stability and structural integrity, and neither create nor contribute significantly to erosion or geologic instability.

E.2. Permit revetments, breakwaters, groins, harbor channels, seawalls, cliff retaining walls, and other such construction that alters natural shoreline processes when required to serve coastal-dependent uses or to protect existing structures or public beaches in danger from erosion and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply.

E.5. Require that shoreline structures be planned and constructed so that they serve the purpose intended, and do not result in a substantial or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the activity including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance.

E.6. Require that shoreline protection structures be designed to minimize their intrusion into pubic vistas by being unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing when viewed from public streets, walk or bicycle ways, or waterways.

E.7. Require that shoreline protection structures be designed to minimize their own breakdown and disintegration to thereby minimize water pollution and the silting of coastal water ways.

E.8. Permit construction of shoreline structures only when they do not preclude the public's right of access to the Ocean, Bay or public beach where acquired through use, custom, legislative authorization, purchase, condemnation, judicial action, gift, bequeath or escheat.

E.10. Replenish or expand City beaches when sand of sufficient quality and quantity is provided at appropriate cost (given City budget constraints) to the City.

E.11. Pursue the eventual elimination of the beach erosion problem South of the Hotel de Coronado jetty.

F.1. Encourage preservation of facilities serving the sport fishing and recreational boating industries.

F.4. Encourage that coastal areas suited for water-oriented recreational activities that cannot readily be provided at inland water areas be protected for such uses.

G.1. Require that new development in areas of high geologic, flood or fire hazard be designed in such a way to minimize risks to life and property.

G.2. Require that new development be designed in such a way to assure stability and structural integrity, and neither create nor contribute significantly to erosion, geologic instability, or destruction of the site or surrounding area or in any way require the construction of protective devices that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs and cliffs.

Response B.2: The City agrees that coordination with neighboring and regional agencies is of utmost importance as sea levels rise, including as it relates to transportation infrastructure and evacuation if needed. Action Area 8: State Route 75 specifically identifies the need for storm emergency plans and coordination with other agencies.

Response B.3: The Key Considerations included in the Critical Infrastructure at Risk document are well aligned with the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan (e.g., coordinated planning, environmental justice, phased adaptation, nature-based adaptation strategies). For example, almost City of Coronado Page 269
9 every adaptation pathway in section 3 includes a recommendation to coordinate planning and uses a phased adaptation approach. In addition, Section 2.4.4 Utilize available planning tools and techniques includes select ideas for updating planning policies.

Response B.4: Inundation within this report refers to temporary flooding during spring high tides. While this type of flooding has the potential to occur on a frequent basis there is a distinction between permanent inundation. Permanent inundation throughout the entire tidal cycle was not specifically evaluated and is likely to be limited as the current low spring tide is approximately 6 ft lower than the high spring tide, meaning even with 6 ft sea level rise the new areas of permanent inundation would only reach todays current high tide line.

Response B.5: A glossary has been added to the combined report with terminology most applicable to the study.

Response B.6: Several Coronado residents shared photos of recent high tides and storm events. All photos received from residents were reviewed and the most applicable images were selected for use within the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan, where appropriate.

Response B.7: The timing at which 0.8 ft increments of sea level rise may occur is not an exact science and drawing from the OPC (2018) Sea Level Rise Guidance, the approximate decades of occurrence are presented in Table VA-2. Because of the various possibilities of when sea level rise may occur and the desire to keep the Vulnerability Assessment sheets as concise as possible, the dates were best suited to be left in Table VA-2.

Response B.8: Adding specific number identifiers to the maps would make the images overly busy and difficult to read, however, as many labels as possible were added to the maps for clarity.

Response B.9: The City agrees that stormwater and drainage is certainly a concern as sea levels rise.

The Adaptation Plan includes an Action Area dedicated to addressing stormwater.

Response B.10: The Adaptation Plan takes a comprehensive approach to addressing risks using Adaptation Action Areas. All the individual asset risks within an Action Area were considered when developing the recommended adaptation options. For example, Action Area 8: State Route 75 specifically identifies the need for storm emergency plans that include contingencies for emergency service vehicle access.

Response B.11: The Adaptation Plan uses the requested “the owner/operator of SR 75” terminology within the SR 75 Action Area.

Response B.12: The City agrees that adaptation will be a costly regional challenge, and hopes that partnerships with the U.S. Navy, Port of San Diego, California State Parks, and other stakeholders will lead to opportunities for joint grant applications and cost sharing. The Adaptation Plan includes rough estimated costs of adaptation, as well as costs of inaction, for consideration as sea levels rise.

Response B.13: A discussion on disadvantaged communities and equity was added to the Adaptation Plan on page AP-3. The City of Coronado does not currently have state defined environmental justice communities nor communities of socioeconomic and demographic groups that may have a higher vulnerability to coastal hazards. However, as time goes on and the strategies are considered for implementation, a more granular view of changing demographics or impacts to vulnerable individuals may be considered.

Subject: Draft Sea Level Rise report
Dear Ms. Thorton:

Thank you for your work on Coronado's draft SLR report. As a long time resident of the Coronado Cays, I wanted to make a few comments about the report:

1. Maps of projected Cays flooding shown on Figs. 4-16 to 4-21:

The report admits (page 32) that the CosMos system does not see things narrower than one meter or 3.3 feet, which applies to all the seawalls in the Cays. While this limitation is discussed in detail with regard to the existing seawall on Ocean Blvd., it is not discussed with regard to the Cays.

We had a similar problem several years ago when FEMA updated their flood maps nationwide. Some sitting at their contractor's desk back in Virginia must have coughed at the wrong moment because suddenly the updated maps showed that people's backyards in the Cays were underwater and their adjacent docks were on dry land. The City of Coronado failed to adequately review the maps and catch this error so that when they were published, mortgage holders got robo letters telling them that for the first time ever that they needed flood insurance. After the CCHOA contacted our Congressional representatives, FEMA corrected the map.

I'm not saying that we are not vulnerable to climate change, but it's really important to be accurate on a granular level for City planning purposes and I'm not confident, because of CosMos' limitations, that the maps showing sea level rise at the Cays are accurate. Why do they show Green Turtle Village being flooded first? That doesn't make sense. See response C-1.

2. Accurate San Diego Bay wave effects data:

I am also disappointed that the report does not incorporate the most current and accurate research on climate change driven wave effects in the San Diego Bay. Page 20 shows coastal buoys, and states that they may not be accurate for the Strand (so why include them?), and I see no data on wave action in the San Diego Bay.

This problem could have easily been solved, and the draft report made more accurate, by incorporating information from the ongoing Scripps Institute Study on "Resilent Futures: San Diego Bay Project." https://climateadapt.ucsd.edu/san-diego-bay/ This study is monitoring climate change driven wave action in the Bay, and Coronado Cays residents have provided videos as part of this research. Dr. Angelica Rodriguez (then at Scripps, now an oceanographer for the Navy at NIWC Pacific) gave a presentation on this ongoing research project at the Dec. 2, 2020 Port of San Diego Environmental Committee meeting. I'm sure she and the Scripps people would be happy to share their data in order to make Coronado's report more accurate. See response C-2.

3. Other Moffat & Nichol comments:

The contractor made other comments that made me wonder if they had actually visited the Cays. They talked about high tides coming "within several feet" of the top of the bulkheads (page x). This has been the case as long as we have lived here, usually during the twice yearly king tides, but I don't recall water even City of Coronado Page 271
11 coming over the top of the bulkheads, which is why I also question the accuracy of the maps (but this inaccuracy is explained by the fact that the CosMos system can't see the bulkheads). I know the past is no longer predictive of the future, but it would be great to be more accurate.Page x also talks about Santa Ana winds creating "damaging conditions for the marina." First of all, what marina are they talking about? The Coronado Cays Yacht Club and the CCHOA have docks on the lee side of Grand Caribe Isle, then all waterfront homes have their own docks, but there is no "marina" per se. Second, a very general statement about Santa Ana winds isn't that helpful. We've always had Santa Ana winds. If they want to make accurate as opposed to general statements, they need to look at the Scripps research referenced above.

See response C-3.

Response C.1: Based on Ms. Tolles’ comments, the City’s consultants for the project did recheck the CoSMoS model results for the Cays and are still confident that the topography of the Cays is accurately portrayed. The protective structure along Ocean Boulevard is a large structure that extends well above the ground surface. Seawalls within the Cays do not extend significantly above the ground surface and so would be captured within the topography data used within the CoSMoS model. Any small footprint structures that protect individual properties from wave impacts would not provide protection from elevated water levels, where a single-entry point could lead to floodwaters spreading over large areas.

Response C.2: Waves within San Diego Bay are wind-driven and significantly smaller than open ocean waves along the Pacific coast. While local waves within San Diego Bay may have some impact on local shorelines, specific impacts will be highly dependent on wind direction and shoreline orientation.

Precise examination of these highly local and event specific impacts, the subject of ongoing research, was beyond the scope of this analysis, which focused on the primary drivers of flooding across the City due to high water levels and storm surge from oceanic events related to rising seas.

Response C.3: See response C.1 with regard to the CoSMoS model capturing bulkhead elevations.

While current King tides may not extend over local bulkheads, the analysis within the Vulnerability Assessment examined 100-year storm events in combination with sea level rise, which can produce water elevations well above King tides. The language on “marinas” within the Cays has been changed to “boating infrastructure” for clarity.

Re: Coastal Commission staff comments on City of Coronado’s Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment
Dear Ms. Thornton,
Please accept these comments from Coastal Commission staff on the City of Coronado’s Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment. The Coastal Commission actively supports sea level rise adaptation planning statewide and commends the city for undertaking this important project.

These comments stem from Coastal Commission staff’s long history of working with local governments on developing vulnerability assessments and adaptation plans that are consistent with state guidance and the Coastal Act, and that set the local government up to successfully use the documents to update plans such as Local Coastal Programs, General Plans, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plans. Please consider the following comments:

1. Sea level rise (SLR) scenarios. Two state guidance documents are particularly relevant to SLR vulnerability and adaptation planning in California: the California State Sea Level Rise Guidance (Ocean Protection Council 2018) and the Coastal Commission Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance (Coastal Commission 2018). These guidance documents recommend particular SLR scenarios to analyze based on the relevant planning horizon and planning context. In the case of the City’s vulnerability assessment, the guidance documents would recommend looking to the year 2100 at minimum (which the document achieves by analyzing impacts through the year 2130) and a range of SLR scenarios based on the level of risk aversion appropriate for the various types of development within the City. For residential and commercial development, they recommend analyzing the SLR scenario associated with “medium-high risk aversion,” which is 7.0 feet in 2100. For critical infrastructure, they recommend analyzing the SLR scenario associated with the “H++” scenario, which is 10 feet in the year 2100. These and other increments of SLR should therefore be included in the vulnerability assessment. See response D.1.

City of Coronado Page 274
14 As the draft vulnerability assessment analyzes scenarios ranging from 0.8 feet to 4.9 feet, Commission staff recommend also including the 6.6-ft COSMOS scenario (the scenario closest to 7 feet) as well as 10 feet (which can be viewed on the NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer).

2. Groundwater. As acknowledged on page 32, at the time the vulnerability assessment was drafted, COSMOS did not include information about how sea level rise could cause coastal groundwater to also rise. In 2020, USGS published a new dataset on groundwater rise, which can now be viewed on the www.ourcoastourfuture.org sea level rise visualization tool. It shows that with 0.8 feet of SLR, groundwater could come to within 0-1 meters of the ground surface in a section of the city west of Alameda Blvd.

Due to capillary action, water levels within this depth range could manifest as emergent groundwater. With 2.5 feet of SLR, groundwater is expected to begin to emerge from the ground in small patches, which grow in size with higher amounts of SLR to eventually cover a significant area of the City.

Shallow and emergent groundwater could have a variety of impacts to development and coastal resources, including damaging infrastructure like roads and buried utilities, reducing the effectiveness of existing stormwater infrastructure, causing corrosion, mobilizing pollutants buried in the soil, and changing the risks and vulnerabilities associated with liquefaction. These impacts, once investigated, could significantly impact how vulnerability is characterized in Section 5 of the vulnerability assessment.

Rising groundwater can also impact whether adaptation strategies will be effective over time. Groundwater tables can extend inland of protective devices like seawalls, and if they rise enough, they can seep up through the ground to flood inland communities.

While seawalls can stop or limit flooding from ocean waves, they cannot stop water from seeping up from below. Understanding the potential for these impacts will influence how the City may consider which adaptation strategies will be effective in certain locations and for how long.

Thus, groundwater rise has the potential to be quite significant for the City of Coronado and will be especially important to understand as the City moves forward with a SLR adaptation plan. Commission staff recommend that the City add an analysis of groundwater rise to its vulnerability assessment before developing an adaptation plan so that these important impacts upon the feasibility of various adaptation options are understood and considered. See response D. 2.

3. Include analysis of socioeconomic impacts and environmental justice. Commission staff recommend adding an analysis of how disadvantaged and other vulnerable communities will be affected by SLR and coastal hazards in the area. This analysis could draw on readily available information, and could include qualitative answers to the following questions:

City of Coronado Page 275
15 a. What populations (including residents and non-residents such as workers and visitors) would be affected by SLR, beach loss and coastal hazards in the planning area? Definitions of environmental justice, disadvantaged, and vulnerable communities can be found in the glossary of terms from the Coastal Commission’s Environmental Justice Policy. Socioeconomic and demographic groups that tend to have higher vulnerability to coastal hazards include the elderly, youth, low-income, minority, non-English speakers, single family households, homeless, and refugees. Environmental justice communities are those that already live in direct exposure to pollution and other environmental hazards and are often low-income and/or minority communities. Disadvantaged communities are often used in California to identify communities with higher environmental and socioeconomic burdens. See response D. 3. b. How might these populations be affected if they are directly exposed to coastal hazards (i.e., live in hazard area) or indirectly exposed (i.e., depend on roads or other infrastructure, or beaches or other assets that are exposed to hazards)? A more comprehensive assessment could also include some description of how Coronado’s conditions compare to the rest of the region and how their vulnerabilities may be linked. Vulnerable populations outside of the coastal zone or Coronado could be affected by development and other land use changes in the City; thus, we recommend adding additional narrative that places Coronado within this context. Relatedly, coastal resources and amenities in Coronado are utilized by people who do not live in the area. We recommend the vulnerability assessment expand on this and explain how people who do not live in the planning area interact with the City and how they would be directly or indirectly impacted by SLR vulnerabilities, particularly those who are from lowincome areas and communities of color. See response D. 3. c. Are there some populations in the planning area (either residents or nonresidents) that already or could face a larger burden of environmental hazards than other groups? How might these vulnerabilities be prioritized in the next stage of adaptation planning? For example, environmental justice communities already face existing environmental hazard and pollution burdens that will be exacerbated by climate change and SLR, and these cumulative impacts should be considered. Consider using CalEnviroScreen to identify communities with existing burdens located within and nearby the City's coastal zone. If time and resources allow for additional analysis, identify what indicators rank high for the community. See response D. 3.
d. What are some of the key vulnerabilities for each group that should be considered for the next steps in adaptation planning? For example, existing environmental justice communities face high environmental burdens from City of Coronado Page 276
16 exposure to poor water quality. This might be exacerbated when coastal hazards affect water treatment systems. See response D. 3.

4. Conduct meaningful engagement with local environmental justice communities. Commission staff recommend specifically targeting engagement with local environmental justice groups in the City’s outreach plans to gather input and comments on the vulnerability assessment. One of the central tenets of environmental justice is meaningful engagement and outreach. Both state and federal law integrates meaningful engagement in the definition of “environmental justice.” According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, meaningful engagement means that 1) potentially affected community members have an appropriate opportunity to participate in decisions about a proposed activity that will affect their environment or health; 2) the public’s contribution can influence an agency’s decision; 3) the concerns of all participants involved will be considered in the decision-making process; and 4) the decision-makers seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected. Meaningful engagement with environmental justice groups will help the City identify the undue environmental burdens that these communities carry as well as their ability to prepare for, safely evacuate, and recover from coastal hazard events. See response D. 3.

5. LCP grant program. The Coastal Commission plans to announce a call for applications for its LCP Local Assistance Grant Program in the coming months. The grant selection criteria adopted by the Commission at its October 2021 meeting will be used to evaluate the applications. This opportunity could be a way for the City to fund revisions to the vulnerability assessment to, for example, include additional SLR scenarios (comment 1 above), an analysis of groundwater rise (comment 2 above), an analysis of environmental justice (comment 3 above), conduct additional outreach (comment 4 above) or to generally address the other comments included in this letter. Commission staff encourage the City to consider this funding option. See response D.4.

6. Management scenarios. This study assumed the “no hold-the-line, beach nourishment” management scenario (p.31). It could be useful to include a paragraph that explains to what degree the “no beach nourishment” scenario changes the results. This brief qualitative analysis could help characterize how dependent the City’s vulnerability is upon the continuation of nourishment activities in the region. See response D. 5.

7. Supplementary Modeling, Section 4.2. Commission staff appreciate the thoughtful ways in which limitations of the COSMOS model were addressed in this study. Through supplementary modeling, the report captured the effects of the existing Ocean Boulevard Seawall and limitations on the volumetric flow rate through flood pathways along the bayside perimeter. Regarding the former, staff would also like to note that it often useful for vulnerability assessments to consider what hazards would be if not for the presence of existing seawalls. This information can be important because it illustrates what impacts could be if the protective device were to fail or otherwise not City of Coronado Page 277
17 function. Therefore, staff appreciatesthe description of how theoretical modeling results look when the seawall is not present. See response D. 6.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the City’s Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the above comments.

18 Letter D Responses
Response D.1: The scenarios selected represent a range of mid- to long-term possibilities and are similar the work that nearby jurisdictions have done recently, such as the Port of San Diego, which look at 1.5 meters and 2100 as the long-term scenarios. The best available science is constantly in flux, and the City’s intent is to stay up-to-date on observable sea level rise and update the study and plans as the science and reality of the situation evolves.

Response D.2: The City agrees that rising groundwater impacts could certainly be a concern in the future. When the Vulnerability Assessment was first started, there was no CoSMoS data available related to groundwater, and it only became available well into the development of the Adaptation Plan.

Nonetheless, the consultants reviewed the groundwater data from CoSMoS and projected impacts from groundwater emerging from the ground surface largely coincide with flood projections included in the Vulnerability Assessment. The Spanish Bight area is likely to first experience impacts from rising groundwater due to its relatively low elevations, and initial impacts might be seen at 1.5 meters of sea level rise. It is important to note, however, that the groundwater modeling results are relatively new. As with the flooding projections they are conducted on a regional basis and may not fully capture local geological conditions. The Adaptation Plan does include a potential strategy as a part of the Action Area for stormwater to conduct a separate study on groundwater in the future.

Response D.3: A discussion on disadvantaged communities and equity was added to the Adaptation Plan on page AP-3. The City does not currently have state defined disadvantaged communities (based on a combination of pollutant exposure and sociodemographic information as defined by Senate Bill 535) nor communities of socioeconomic and demographic groups that may have a higher vulnerability to coastal hazards. However, as time goes on and the strategies are considered for implementation, a more granular view of changing demographics or impacts to vulnerable individuals may be considered.

Response D.4: Comment noted. Should the City pursue an update to the LCP in the future, we will be aware of the grant funding opportunity.

Response D.5: A note has been added in section 4 of the Vulnerability Assessment on the “No Beach Nourishment” scenario, which has a minimal impact of hazard modeling results. All management scenarios were evaluated as part of the Vulnerability Assessment and the scenario selected was determined to be the best indicator of potential future conditions.

Response D.6: Comments regarding the revised modeling are noted. While not discussed in detail as there are no plans to alter the structure, impacts if the Ocean Boulevard Seawall is removed can be estimated from unaltered CoSMoS results included in appendices and hazard maps for SLR above 3.3 ft (1 m).

Dear Ms. Thornton,
SUBJECT: SEA LEVEL RISE ASSESSMENT AND ADAPTATION PLAN
Thank you for the opportunity for Naval Base Coronado to review the City of Coronado's draft "Sea Level Rise Assessment and Adaptation Plan." We have no comments on the vulnerability assessment except to note that we support the City's efforts to assess sea level rise vulnerability and that we are concerned about the existing non-coastal flooding in the area of the former Spanish Bight compounding with future sea level rise impacts. The City's efforts complement regional and local efforts to address potential sea level rise vulnerability, as well as efforts at Naval Base Coronado, particularly as related to transportation, facilities, and natural resources management. See response E.1.

We look forward to continuing to work together on this important issue. My point of contact for this matter is Ms. Anna Shepherd, AICP, Community Plans and Liaison Officer. She may be reached by e-mail at [email protected] or at 619-917-0623. Comment noted.

Hi Jane,
We crowdsourced some pictures and videos of the Cays during the last King Tides Dec 4-6 and had some very interested residents out there! What would be the best way to send the City some pictures? I can upload them to a link that you have? See response F.1.

I was actually surprised at the level of interest out therein I think we have pictures from most villages in the Cays.

I notice that the SLR vulnerability report at page 58 stated that the freeboard between King Tide water and ground surface was "estimated to be as low as 2 ft in some areas” but actually it, is in 2021, 20 inches. See response F.2.

I watched a presentation from California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot last week and a researcher from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab spoke on the increasing number of King Tides to be an issue beginning in 2030, due to the moon’s 18.6 years orbital wobble. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/study-projects-a-surge-incoastal-flooding-starting-in-2030s Comment noted.

I thought the City might be interested in a baseline view of King Tides out here in the Cays - some local evidence! Please let me know what the best way is to submit the photos/three videos.

Thanks so much,

Response F.1: The City thanks Ms. Berube for the photos. All photos received from residents were reviewed and the most applicable images were selected for use within the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan, where appropriate.

Response F.2: This level of local information is greatly appreciated. While the 20 inches measurement is in line with the 2 ft estimate included in the report, this local observation underlines the need for the proactive hazard assessment and adaptation planning included in this study.

Subject: Sea level rise study and local construction work Hello,
I hope you are enjoying your work.

I would like to bring it to the attention of those working on the Sea Level Rise study that the Broadstone complex is replacing ALL their elevator shafts, which go 25 to 30 feet down below grade.

They are having to replace them because of salt water intrusion corroding the hydraulic shafts.. I think this is something that should be looked at for data.

I have let my opinions be known to your consultants : that the Sea Level Rise study, in not investigating groundwater at all, is like a blind man describing an elephant, as well as being inconsistent with the County of San Diego guidelines for Sea Level rise actions - I can send the City those those guidelines, if if you can't find them..

And, if i can repeat, looking at Sea Level Rise without considering groundwater is a one-legged cow. Here is actual construction on-going that can help you get data on the ground water levels in Coronado.

I look forward to seeing Coronado reps of the Sea Level Rise study coming to the Broadstone construction site! See response G.1.

Subject: Coronado Sea Level Rise Planning question
Good afternoon Jane,
Regarding figure 3.2, those projects seem very low considering NOAA's report released last month that called out 10‐12 feet by 2100 as an extreme possibility. The figure you have in the Coronado report shows 4.5 with a 5% possibility and 7 feet with a .5% possibility which do not align to the latest research by any stretch.

How is Coronado adjusting their reports, as well as public and community awareness, of the new information and how will that happen going forward? See response H.1.

Thank you

Response H.1: The study focuses on incremental sea level rise for planning purposes, including potential low-probability, long-term projections based on the current best-available science. This approach is shared by the most recent NOAA report. Staff is not aware of the 10-12 feet mentioned in the comment letter because the NOAA report specifically says “based on the most recent scientific understanding…A GMSL (global mean sea level rise) increase of 2.5 m by 2100 is thus viewed as less plausible, and the associated scenario has been removed from this report.” In any case, the Adaptation Plan focuses on triggers instead of specific dates since the science is so rapidly changing, and when sea level rise may occur is unknown. If sea level rise increases at rates faster than what is currently projected, the Adaptation Plan will also accelerate.

Subject: City of Coronado Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan Dear Ms. Thorton,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments to the City of Coronado Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan. I want to start by commending the team for producing such a thoughtful, strategic, and well organized plan.

I’m writing on behalf of EPIC Brokers, one of the nation’s 15 largest retail brokers. We have been brokers for Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs) for the better part of 20 years.

Uniquely different from other brokers and risk management advisors in this space, EPIC works closely with our clients to identify risks and a range of solutions that others simply haven’t considered. It is our long standing problem‐solving relationship with GHADs that has led to a deep understanding of community flood and sea level risks.

Public‐private insurance facilitated partnerships are increasingly recognized as an important but underutilized tool in addressing the financial challenges of sea level rise. In February, the Ocean Protection Council released the State Agency Sea‐Level Rise Action Plan for California. This plan includes the following goals:

6.12 Create and provide access to private insurance products that insure Sea Level Rise (SLR) projects and investments and invest in risk‐reduction programs for homeowners and businesses.

6.13 Support proofs of concept for wetlands‐centered parametric and community‐based insurance.

These recommended actions build on the California Department of Insurance (CDI) ground‐ breaking report Protecting Communities, Preserving Nature and Building Resiliency: How First‐of‐ its‐Kind Climate Insurance Will Help Combat the Costs of Wildfires, Extreme Heat, and Floods.

This report recognizes that coastal communities such as yours are increasingly vulnerable to sea level rise, high tides, and coastal storms. It calls attention to the fact that many communities suffer from a financial resilience gap and finds that broadly available insurance can help solve these climate change problems.

The report recommends, “Bolstering climate disaster financing by developing innovative insurance products and public‐ private partnerships, including expanded use of parametric insurance, community‐level insurance, and other risk transfer tools.” A public‐private partnership could help fund the deployment of sensors, support emergency action planning, and help with outreach efforts.

The report calls on the Department of Insurance to implement four community‐based insurance pilot programs. The detailed information collected in the City of Coronado’s Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan provides the key information needed as a first step in implementing a community‐based insurance program. I want to encourage you to take advantage City of Coronado Page 288
28 the all the hard work that went into the preparation of the vulnerability assessment by reaching out to the California Department of Insurance to ask the City of Coronado be considered as a partner for a community‐based insurance pilot program.

Collaborating with the Department of Insurance on a community‐based insurance program has the potential to help the City of Coronado reduce insurance costs more economically than joining the CRS program, track flood locations and impacts, and incentivize private building retrofits. It could also provide a stable and reliable source of post‐disaster funding for the repair of the Coronado Yacht Club and Boathouse, pump stations, Cays Yacht Club and City Hall. Comments noted, no additional responses required.

Subject: SLR Comments
Dear Mayor Bailey and City Council Members,
The City should be commended for putting together the Sea Level Rise (SLR) Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan as SLR will affect all cities along the coast. That said, the following should be considered more carefully going forward:
1) Data for the report is outdated and did not come from the most respected source.

NOAA and NASA provide the most reliable, accurate, and up‐to‐date data based on real world melting of our polar ice caps. See response J.1. 2) The SLR should be fully integrated into the Climate Action Plan. Separating the two makes little sense. This also reinforces the need for a City Resilience Officer or Climate Adaptation Specialist as they are called in some cities. Everything related to water quality, air quality, beach erosion, storm drains, power, trash and recycling are siloed in Coronado. The City needs someone who takes a holistic view and oversees the collective climate mitigation focus. See response J.2.
3) Collaboration between and among city leaders and the science community is lacking, both for the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan and Climate Action Plan. We have one of the premiere universities specializing in climate change right in our backyard — Scripps Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptations. The director, Dr. Mark Merrifield, is a lead author of the Sea Level Change chapter of the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the United Nations. His research areas include sea‐level rise and climate variability, coastal oceanography, and nearshore processes. In addition to speaking at an Emerald Keepers’ forum in 2021, Mark is more than willing to share his expertise with the City. See response J.3.

The SLR plan developed by the City‐contracted company lacks 1) current, best source of data; 2) coordination with other environmental issues and efforts; and 3) intra‐ an inter‐city collaboration. The citizens of Coronado have made it clear that they are concerned about SLR and Climate Change and implore the city to take action to mitigate both.

Sincerely, Amy Steward

Response J.1: Sea level rise projections were based on the 2018 Ocean Protection Council State of California Sea Level Rise Guidance, currently identified as the best-available science at the state level by the California Coastal Commission and other state agencies. These projections are based on those published by NOAA in 2017, tailored further to specific locations along the California coast. While new NOAA projections have recently been released, changes from the 2017 report are primarily related to shifts in potential timing of sea level rise scenarios, not the overall amount of sea level rise projected by the end of the century. Both the Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan are designed to accommodate changes in sea level rise projections over time by incorporating flexibility in adaptation options and not tying increments of sea level rise to specific time horizons.

Response J.2: City staff believes it has adequate staffing and resources to oversee the programs to implement the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan moving forward. Grant writing to pursue funding sources would continue to be implemented by City staff or contracted out as needed. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the City is a goal for staff based on the Climate Action Plan, unfortunately those actions would be unlikely to impact sea level rise projections as sea level rise is a global phenomenon that would not be measurably impacted by relatively minor local GHG reductions.

Response J.3: The City welcomes further collaboration and coordination with experts in the field of sea level rise and climate change science, and will continue to reach out to such individuals or organizations as sea level rise occurs. The City did contact Dr. Merrifield and unfortunately did not receive a response, but there may be opportunities to work with Scripps or other agencies for monitoring sea level rise moving forward, as is the case in Imperial Beach.

Re: Coastal Commission staff comments on City of Coronado’s Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan
Dear Ms. Thornton,
Please accept these comments from Coastal Commission staff on the City of Coronado’s Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan. The Coastal Commission actively supports sea level rise adaptation planning statewide and commends the city for undertaking this important planning step.

Coastal Commission staff comments are based on experience working with local governments on developing vulnerability assessments and adaptation plans that are consistent with state guidance and the Coastal Act, and that set the local government up to successfully use the documents to update plans such as Local Coastal Programs, General Plans, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

Please consider the following comments:

Addressing climate equity
The plan notes that the city “does not currently have state defined environmental justice communities nor communities of socioeconomic and demographic groups that may have a higher vulnerability to coastal hazards, such as the elderly, youth, low-income, minority, non-English speakers, homeless, and refugees.” While the plan focuses on asset and neighborhood level adaptation, it could also highlight, at least in the page 15 box that climate equity is also about meaningful engagement, as coastal adaptation decisions will affect public resources that are valuable to all Californians, not just property-owners. While there may be changing demographics of individual households affected over time, visitors, business owners, and workers as well as residents will see the impacts of sea level rise. Notably, some cities adjacent to Coronado are environmental justice communities, some of whom might visit City beaches. As sea levels rise, Coronado’s wide beaches might become even more of a draw for beach recreation.

Regarding community outreach and engagement, the Section 2.5 on outreach should at least briefly summarize the outreach done by the City to develop the Adaptation Plan. If meaningful engagement is a part of the outreach overarching adaptation strategy, this section might also note a goal to develop procedures that include early and consistent communication with, and involvement of, communities of concern during all phases of planning and permitting, ensuring project information accounts for language barriers and is disseminated in an understandable City of Coronado Page 292
32 format, and maximizing public participation by providing multiple opportunities and formats for the public to provide input on a project.

It is not clear if any efforts were made to consult with Native American tribal groups. Recognizing the importance of tribal consultation, the Commission adopted its own Tribal Consultation Policy in 2018 to improve government-to-government dialogue with California’s Tribes, improve tribal participation in coastal planning efforts, and provide a more specific process than previously existed for the Commission to work cooperatively, communicate effectively, and consult with tribes for the mutual benefit of protecting coastal resources. Commission staff recommend that sea level rise adaptation plans acknowledge, respect and incorporate tribal knowledge and tribal science where relevant and appropriate. See response K.1.

Groundwater rise
When a low-lying coastal area has shallow groundwater with subsurface connections to the ocean, sea level rise can cause groundwater levels to rise and emerge at the surface. New data and modelling of anticipated groundwater levels as sea levels rise are available online and suggest some areas of Coronado will have emergent or very shallow groundwater tables as seas rise. In 2020, USGS published their dataset on groundwater rise, which can now be viewed on the Our Coast Our Future sea level rise visualization tool. It shows that with 0.8 feet of SLR, groundwater could come to within 0-1 meters of the ground surface in a section of the city west of Alameda Blvd. Notably, the degree of this impact will vary greatly depending on local conditions, which suggests further study may be warranted.

The risk of rising groundwater tables is largely unstated in the Adaptation Plan (or the vulnerability assessment). While the city notes that groundwater depth and seepage studies (strategy S.b) and hydraulic studies (strategy S.c) should be conducted for stormwater adaptation strategies, rising groundwater might also affect other strategies. While seawalls can stop or limit flooding from ocean waves, they cannot stop water from seeping up from below. Where groundwater emerges, it may contribute to flooding as well as to impacts like damage to buried development or infrastructure, mobilization of contaminants, and changing liquefaction risks. Commission staff recommend that the City add more discussion of groundwater rise to its Adaptation Plan so that these important impacts are noted as factors influencing the feasibility of various adaptation options. Also, change in groundwater levels could be monitored as a part of adaptive management, and might be quite relevant for evaluating adaptation options and project design depending on location. Understanding the potential for these impacts could influence how the City considers which adaptation strategies will be effective in certain locations. See response K.2.

Coordinated planning
Planning for sea level rise is a complex process that requires coordination among state agencies, local governments, regional planning bodies, asset managers, coastal communities, stakeholders, and other interested parties. In addition to the coordination already laid out in the plan, Commission staff also recommend future adaptation planning include coordination with nearby jurisdictions and tribal governments to develop a cohesive vision for the planning region that assures coastal access, recreational opportunities, and resources are provided, protected, and enhanced to meet the needs of all persons, consistent with the Coastal Act. Comment noted.

33 Adaptation pathways
Commission staff support the use of adaptation pathways to proactively prepare for sea level rise and reduce potential impacts before they occur. While the Adaptation Plan is based on the vulnerability assessment with a maximum of 4.9 feet of sea level rise, it would be prudent to note that infrastructure adaptation projects should consider more sea level rise scenarios, or higher increments of sea level rise, for long-term planning. The Adaptation Plan should commit to updating strategies or pathway points based on the best available science for expected rates of sea level rise. The Adaptive Management section (page 17) would be one place to highlight how the City will follow the updated best available science on sea level rise from the state of California as it is released. See response K.3.

Redevelopment restrictions
Commission staff appreciates that the Adaptation Plan includes redevelopment restrictions as a strategy and encourages the City to immediately take actions to implement this step so that redevelopment is planned to be safe from storm surge and sea levels rise in the near term. These measures should include updating zoning and building codes to require a site-specific sea-level rise analysis to identify that the new development will be safe from sea level rise without the use of shoreline protection, implementing set back requirements, and prohibiting basements in shoreline development where they would be subject to flooding or act as shoreline protective devices. Comment noted.

LCP grant program
The Coastal Commission has funding in its LCP Local Assistance Grant Program to aid local governments in conducting sea level rise studies and updates to their LCPs. This opportunity could be a way for the City to fund revisions to the vulnerability assessment to, for example, include additional SLR scenarios, analyze groundwater rise, conduct additional outreach, or to generally address other comments included in this letter. Commission staff encourage the City to consider this funding option.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the City’s Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan. We commend the City for starting this important adaptation discussion with their community, partners, and stakeholders, and for providing exploration of a range of potential adaption strategies. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the above comments. Comments noted.

Response K.1: As Coastal Commission staff notes, a discussion on disadvantaged communities and equity was added to the Adaptation Plan on page AP-3. The City does not currently have state defined disadvantaged communities (based on a combination of pollutant exposure and sociodemographic information as defined by Senate Bill 535) nor communities of socioeconomic and demographic groups that may have a higher vulnerability to coastal hazards. While there are disadvantaged communities in other jurisdictions, any actions taken to protect coastal access in Coronado would be a benefit to anyone wishing to visit the coast. Overall, the Adaptation Plan focuses on potential options that could be considered to protect City infrastructure if and when sea levels rise. If any of the projects are implemented, there may be additional analysis to ensure that there are no negative impacts to disadvantaged communities. Regarding a summary of public outreach, Appendix 5 summarizes all outreach. While Native American tribes were not directly consulted for the development of the documents, should specific projects be implemented, tribal consultation would occur in tandem with environmental review.

Response K.2: See response D.2.

Response K.3: The support for the adaptation pathways approach is noted. In the introduction to the Adaptation Plan, the City acknowledges that the document will need to be revisited over time as the climate science evolves and sea levels rise. It states that “This adaptation plan is not meant to dictate a specific set of actions the City must take, but rather provide a range of options to be further debated, considered, and potentially implemented in the future. It is flexible and meant to be revised over time as new information emerges, climate science advances, and community preferences evolve.” City of Coronado Page 295

Subject: City of Coronado Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan Dear Ms. Thornton:

On behalf of ENGEO Incorporated, we want to thank you for you and your team’s effort in facilitating the City of Coronado Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan, and we are pleased to provide input based on our review of this comprehensive, impressive work.

ENGEO has been a leader in the establishment and operation of Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs) for over 35 years, beginning with our involvement in the establishment of the first GHAD in Northern California in the mid‐ 1980s.

Page Appendix AP‐1‐28 notes that assessment districts are “a flexible strategy that can be paired with any physical or operational strategy in need of funding.” California has a variety of community finance district arrangements. However, GHADs have a number of unique properties that make them a particularly attractive community finance district for addressing sea level rise. Most significantly, the actions and authorities of a GHAD are directed by a locally elected board and guided by a Plan of Control. The Plan of Control is prepared by a California Certified Engineering Geologist and is focused on the implementable actions to manage risk. This collaboration of local officials guided by the technical expertise of Certified Engineering Geologists has resulted in the successful management of geologic hazards for over forty years.

Recently, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) prepared a report titled Protecting Communities, Preserving Nature and Building Resiliency: How First‐of‐its‐Kind Climate Insurance Will Help Combat the Costs of Wildfires, Extreme Heat, and Floods. This report recognizes the role that GHADs can play in managing climate change risks such as sea level rise. This report calls on CDI to implement four GHAD‐based climate change insurance programs. The detailed information collected in the City of Coronado’s Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan provides the key information needed as a first step in implementing a community‐based insurance program. We urge you to contact the CDI to ask that the City of Coronado be considered as a partner for a community‐based insurance pilot program.

A GHAD created to address the City of Coronado’s sea level rise needs could pay for low‐cost sensors, support emergency action planning, fund beach nourishment actions and other nature‐ based solutions, and provide a source of funds to address post‐disaster park and harbor repairs.

The Coastal Conservancy currently has $500 million to fund projects along the coast. Forming a GHAD provides a government entity that can request grants and manage the implementation of projects. A modest assessment fee can be implemented following the preparation of an Engineer’s Report under Proposition 218 protocols that can serve as the local cash match, allowing the community to cost effectively mitigate the potential devastating effects of sea level rise. Comments noted, no additional responses required.

Thank you, Jeff Adams

Subject: City of Coronado Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment/Adaptation Plan Public Comment
Dear Coronado Planning Department:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important draft report regarding the effect of sea level rise (SLR) on our community. My comments are two‐fold with a few comments on the scientific assumptions underlying the vulnerability assessment and additional comments on the adaptation plan.

SCIENCE
In California, sea level rise policy is delegated to the Ocean Protection Council (OPC), a part of the California Natural Resources Agency, and its subset of scientists, the OPC Science Advisory Team. In the City’s report, the OPC’s 2018 Guidance on SLR is noted as the best available science and those guidelines undergird the estimate of Coronado’s vulnerabilities. That 2018 guidance is based on 2017 scientific work.

However, on May 11, 2022, OPC presented its draft State Agency Sea‐Level Rise Action Plan for California to the California Coastal Commission and announced that not only would new guidance for SLR be issued in 2023 but that the latest science as presented in the February 2022 NOAA Sea Level Rise Technical Report would be incorporated into its 2023 guidance. OPC notes as follows: there will be increasing sea level rise greater than what is currently in the guidance; there is a REDUCED range of uncertainty; there will be increasing “sunny day” floods; and most importantly sea level rise should be addressed early and robustly.

Moreover, OPC noted that SB1, signed September 23, 2021, approved 500 million dollars directed toward impacts due to SLR costs to the Coastal Conservancy and 100 million dollars to OPC. In fact, the current round of funding for coastal resilience at OPC is 9.5 million dollars. And this is just the State of California.

While the term “best‐available science” as commonly used in the discussion of SLR is in OPC guidance, the actual best available science which will be incorporated into OPC’s 2023 guidance is available NOW and should be reviewed and integrated into the vulnerability assessment. The product presented to the City should not have such a known definitive scientific expiration date. And don’t forget the moon wobble either which increases high tide frequency. See response M.1.

ADAPTATION
I hesitate to refer to this document as a Plan, primarily because the first action on all of the adaptation strategies is to collaborate with the other agencies responsible for land ownership. These strategies are dependent on triggers which include certain sea level rise amounts or damage to areas, etc. These triggers are effectively shut down unless the first step of collaboration is accomplished. This brings to mind the development of the Padres current stadium. Scheduled to open in 2002, for a variety of reasons, it did not open until 2004. Collaboration and funding take a long, long time.

City of Coronado Page 297
37 Indeed, as noted in the Executive Summary at page ES‐7, “Effective adaptation planning and management will require coordination and communication between the City, the Navy, the Port of San Diego (Port), California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks), private property owners, and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to assure a comprehensive approach to sea level rise adaptation.” See response M.2.

Please explain why the Grand Caribe portion of the Coronado Cays, Action Area 9, is not a candidate for a nature‐based solution. The widest part of the southern area of that island, designated as a future wetland mitigation project in the Port’s Master Plan Update, would act as a buffer for part of the Cays subject to storm surge and king tides. It would shield some of Coronado residential area (tax base). Would it not behoove the City to collaborate with the Port, as well as the Coastal Conservancy, on these nature based solutions? I note in that in Action Area 9 regarding State Route 75, nature‐based solutions are outlined and the highway is stated as “of high value to the City and the Navy” ‐ although the City is not an actual “owner” of the roadway. Grand Caribe Isle, home of the Coronado Cays Yacht Club, the Coronado Cays Homeowners Association, and taxpaying small businesses, is of high value to the residents of the Coronado Cays as well as to all residents of Coronado, although the land is under Port of San Diego management. Please add consideration of this option to your adaptation plan. See response M.3.

But there are steps to take now: four areas of the city are determined to require work now (besides the need to collaborate with other agencies). That is to install storm water outlets with flapper valves, address the issues with SR 75, including closing off the underpasses from the ocean side of the state park under SR 75 to the bayside area of SR 75, work with Coronado Yacht Club (Port lessee), monitor the roadways, and adapt the restrooms. See response M.4.

But most importantly, the City needs a Program Manager dedicated to coordinating this effort, and which includes effective deployment of the Climate Action Plan to combat emissions which the NASA technical report states is a driver of the extent of SLR. This is what Encinitas does, this is what Ventura does, this is what the cities of Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz do. We live in a highly managed area between the ocean and the bay ‐ it's complex and time consuming. The City’s Planning Department is doing what it can ‐ time to up the ante.as See response M.5.

38 Letter M Responses
Response M.1: The 2022 NOAA sea level rise projections have been reviewed by the project team.

The primary update within these projections is the potential timing of sea level rise, with the overall magnitude of sea level rise projected by 2100 remaining the same across Low to High scenarios.

These changes do not alter the hazard assessments or conclusions within the Vulnerability Assessment, which acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the exact timing of future sea level rise.

The Vulnerability Assessment examined a broad range of sea level rise projections to address this uncertainty.

Response M.2: The City agrees that effective collaboration with partner agencies is required for the success of adaptation strategies, especially because the City only controls approximately 5% of the coastline.

Response M.3: The Adaptation Plan does not include recommendations for Grand Caribe Island because it is owned by the Port of San Diego. However, coordination with the Port in this area is a recommendation in Action Area 9. The City is supportive of the use of nature-based solutions to address sea level rise and storm surge, where appropriate.

Response M.4: The City agrees that there are select near-term adaptation actions. These are summarized in the newly added Table ES-4.

Response M.5: City staff believes it has adequate staffing and resources to oversee the programs to implement the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan moving forward. Grant writing to pursue funding sources would continue to be implemented by City staff or contracted out as needed.

RE: Comments on City of Coronado Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan
Dear Ms. Jane Thornton,
The San Diego Unified Port District (District) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the City of Coronado’s (City) Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan (Draft Plan). The District supports and appreciates the City’s approach to proactively plan for future sea level rise (SLR) impacts. As indicated in the Draft Plan, the District will play a critical role in implementing many of the identified adaptation strategies along the Coronado Bayfront.

The District is a public corporation and regional government agency created in 1962, through the California State Legislature’s adoption of the San Diego Unified Port District Act (Port Act). Through the Port Act, the District was granted the state tidelands and submerged lands around San Diego Bay and is entrusted to manage the diverse waterfront uses on these lands in a manner that is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine, promoting and balancing navigation, commerce, fisheries, recreation, and environmental stewardship. Within the District’s jurisdiction (District Tidelands) are the waterfronts of five cities: San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and Coronado.

Adaptation and coastal resiliency comprise one of the pillars of the District’s climate action platform, and we are continually enhancing our approach to addressing sea level rise through studies, policies, and pilot projects. Examples of the District’s efforts include:
• In 2019, pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 691, the District prepared and submitted to the California State Lands Commission (CSLC) a “Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Coastal Resiliency Report” (AB 691 Report).
• To further advance the need for adaptive management along District Tidelands and to prioritize a balanced approach to addressing SLR, the District is incorporating a Safety & Resiliency Element within its Port Master Plan Update (PMPU) effort. This element includes goals, objectives, and policies to guide future development to address coastal resiliency, and specifically SLR.
• The District has implemented several pilot projects to assess the potential for nature-based shoreline solutions around District Tidelands to address SLR. The District recently partnered with ECOncrete, Inc. to deploy a three-year pilot project, which replaced an area of rip-rap along Harbor Island with bio-enhancing, interlocking tidepools. At the end of 2021, in partnership with the State Coastal Conservancy and with collaboration from Commission staff, the District deployed a living shoreline pilot project, which placed reef balls along a historically eroded shoreline to assess how well the living shoreline recruits native oysters to the site and stabilizes the adjacent shoreline.

RE: Comments on City of Coronado Draft Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan
Upon review of the Draft Plan, the District provides the following comments on the Draft Plan:
• The District appreciates the City’s use of similar SLR projections and scenarios to the District’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Coastal Resiliency Report. Analyzing consistent sea level rise projections will help to better visualize tomorrow’s flood on today’s landscapes. A consistent approach is important for stakeholders along San Diego Bay to coordinate future adaptation strategies and ensure coastal resiliency. • We support the “adaptation pathways” approach, which is utilized throughout the Draft Plan.

When planning for future SLR with inherent uncertainty, identifying near-term, mid-term, and long-term strategies that can be deployed based on empirical observations of sea level rise will help the City remain adaptive into the future.
• We appreciate the consideration of nature-based shoreline solutions in the Draft Plan and will continue to encourage the use of these types of solutions around San Diego Bay so that our region can strive for coastal resiliency while also achieving other environmental cobenefits. • The District manages a significant area of tidelands and submerged lands throughout San Diego Bay. We thank the City for acknowledging the District’s management responsibilities within portions of the City’s Draft Plan and how they may intersect with identified adaptation strategies. As the District manages several of the submerged lands bayward of the City’s shoreline, we recommend adding future coordination with the District for any in-water shoreline solutions, such as living shorelines, within such submerged land areas. • The District supports the City’s recognition that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution to address inundation and flooding, which may be exacerbated by future SLR. Along San Diego Bay (including District Tidelands and the City’s jurisdiction), there are a diverse set of uses, many of which are adjacent to or include coastal-dependent facilities, critical infrastructure, or other urbanized land uses, which may require unique site-specific considerations when planning for SLR. The District appreciates that the Draft Plan considers the unique characteristics of each area it covers, and that multiple strategies, including structural solutions, may be necessary to avoid impacts.

The District commends the City’s efforts to prepare the Draft Plan and we look forward to coordinating on future coastal adaptation planning and shoreline strategies along the Coronado Bayfront. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback, and please contact me at [email protected] or (619) 686-6473 with any additional questions.

Dear Ms. Thornton,
Subj: SEA LEVEL RISE ASSESSMENT AND ADAPTATION PLAN
Thank you for the opportunity for Naval Base Coronado to review the City of Coronado's draft "Sea Level Rise Assessment and Adaptation Plan." We strongly support the City's efforts to assess sea level rise vulnerability and identify near, mid and long tenn adaptation strategies for the City of Coronado.

Coastal military sites, such as Naval Base Coronado, and their associated natural and building infrastructure, operations, and readiness capabilities are vulnerable to the impacts of rising global sea level and local extreme water level events. The Department of Defense has prepared Regional Sea Level (DRSL) Scenarios for Coastal Risk Management for individual military sites, including Naval Base Coronado, to enable decision makers to assess future risk based on the best available science. These scenarios project future sea level rise and extreme water level conditions at the installation level for the following planning year timeframes: 2035, 2065, and 2100. The scenarios for Naval Base Coronado may be found at https://drsl.serdpestcp.org. along with additional information on how the scenarios were developed and how they should be used.

The DoD requires local military installations to use the DRSL data as a baseline for risk management but encourages installations to supplement the DRSL with the best available information, including that from State and local governments. The City's plan complements efforts to assess and address potential sea level rise vulnerability at Naval Base Coronado, particularly as related to the external transportation, utilities, and natural resources management that the Navy depends on to meet its readiness capabilities.

Naval Base Coronado is participating in SANDAG's Military Installation Resilience Phase II Study, which also includes Naval Base San Diego and Naval Base Point Loma in its project area.

My staff continues to recommend to SANDAG staff and consultants to incorporate the City of Coronado's findings and adaptation strategies into the study, particularly in areas that overlap with military transportation requirements. City of Coronado Page 303 43 Subj: SEA LEVEL RISE ASSESSMENT AND ADAPTATION PLAN
As noted in my previous letter, we are concerned about existing non-coastal flooding in the area of the former Spanish Bight compounding with future sea level rise impacts. Moreover, we also desire to maintain local capabilities that the Navy depends on, such as transportation and utilities. We believe the City's adaptation strategies address these issues but have minor comments for the City's consideration, which are attached to this letter. Comments noted and additional responses provided following table.

We look forward to continuing to work together on this important issue. My point of contact for this matter is Ms. Anna Shepherd, AICP, Community Plans and Liaison Officer. She may be reached at [email protected] or at 619-917-0623.

VA-14 On Figure VA-10, please consider including the runway approach lights for Naval Base Coronado, which are located on Coronado Beach, on the map as either infrastructure or military facilities. See response P.6.

VA-62 On VA- 62, the US Navy is identified as a potential partner to address adaptation on a larger scale within the Spanish Bight. Please consider identifying additional local stakeholders, such as the State of California and the Port of San Diego. We believe this is a multi-jurisdictional issue and will require multiple partners to address at the larger scale. See response P.7.

VA-67 Please consider adding the Public Works storage yard at 1st and Alameda in the vulnerability analysis. This parcel is vulnerable and could be part of a potential adaptation solution. See response P.8.

VA-72 Please consider adding the Crown Preschool at 6th and Coronado to the list of schools in this section. See response P.9.

VA-86 Please consider revising the following sentence as shown:" Parks have a high adaptive capacity because they benefit from a low density of built infrastructure, keeping long-term options open for nature-based solutions, flood protection, accommodation, and[or relocation." See response P.10.

VA-87 Please consider including additional nature-based solutions as part of the adaptive capacity of the golf course. See response P.11.

AP-9 Please consider adding the DoD Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation Military Installation Sustainability grant program as a potential resource.

See response P.12.

AP-11 Under 2.4.3, please consider adding coordination and participation in local and regional planning efforts to adapt to Sea Level Rise. Many local agencies are planning to adapt to SLR and have overlapping areas of interest with the City of Coronado and Naval Base Coronado. See response P.13.

AP-13 Please consider adding the Spanish Bight/Alameda Blvd area as an adaptation Action Area. See response P.14.

AP-17 On Table AP-1, please consider adding Living Shorelines, bio-retention areas, swales, increased tree cover, and pervious materials, in partnership with local stakeholders such as the Port of SD, State of California, and the US Navy, as potential nature-based solutions. See response P.15.

AP-18 On Table AP-1, please consider adding planning strategies that align with the Federal and State funding sources identified on AP-9. See response P.16.

AP-24 Please consider adding the Public Works storage yard at 1st and Alameda in this set of adaptation solutions. It is of similar size and location to Harborview Park and Bayview Park. Consider bioretention features at these sites. See response P.17.

City of Coronado Page 305
45 AP-24 Please consider adding all of the parks, including the new park at 8th and Coronado, as opportunities for additional nature-based solutions for the area in the former Spanish Bight. Options could include bio-retention, increased trees, expansion of permeable surfaces adjacent to parks, etc. Additional parks could include LC Sandell Park, the intersection of Country Club Lane and Alameda Boulevard, and Palm Park. See response P.18.

AP-31 Please consider adding additional nature-based solutions for the Port to consider in this Action Area. See response P.19.

AP-50 Please consider an option that implements a "road diet" at the confluence of Orange Avenue (SR 75}, Strand Way and Pomona Avenue, to facilitate impervious surface, bioretention, and/or other nature-based solutions, potentially on a new linear park between the Boat House and the pocket park, with the intention to maintain/preserve existing buildings, the Bayshore Bikeway, and SR 75. See response P.20.

AP-66 Coronado Beach is also the approach to NASNl's Runway 29, with four of the runway approach lights located on the northern portion of Coronado Beach.

Please consider including discussion of these facilities in the description of this section. See response P.21.

AP-79 Please include the Silver Strand Training Complex South (AKA Coastal Campus) as Navy-owned land on the southern, oceanside of SR 75. See response P.22.

AP-80 Under the Coastal Vulnerability section, all Naval Base Coronado sites along SR 75 (NASNI, NAB Coronado, Navy housing, and the Silver Strand Training Complex) would have impaired access, not just NASNI. See response P.23.

AP-81 Please consider requesting information from CALTRANS to estimate the cost of inaction for SR 75; this is a significant facility and cost estimate should be included. See response P.24.

AP-82 Please consider adding the Port of San Diego as a stakeholder for SR 75. See response P.25.

Response P.1: Added utility companies to list of partners as suggested to the bottom paragraph on page ES-8.

Response P.2: Updated Action Area 1 text in body of main report to make it clearer that the strategies in this area are designed to help with Spanish Bight flooding.

Response P.3: Boundaries revised in jurisdiction and hazard figures.

Response P.4: School added to basemaps and hazard maps.

Response P.5: Mini-park added to basemaps and hazard maps.

Response P.6:: Runway approach lights added to basemaps and hazard maps.

Response P.7: Additional stakeholders added to adaptive capacity discussion within development vulnerability assessment table in section 5.1.1.

Response P.8: Public Works Storage Yard called out in basemaps and hazard maps. Also added to section 5 in Vulnerability Assessment and summary tables.

Response P.9: Crown preschool added to section 5.1.10. Updates made to vulnerability rating in section 5.1.10, conclusions, and executive summary.

Response P.10: Sentence revised in section 5.2.8 adaptive capacity discussion.

Response P.11: Nature based solution added to section 5.2.9 adaptive capacity discussion.

Response P.12: Added to the text in section 2.4.2, as suggested.

Response P.13: Added a new strategy under section 2.4 to address this comment. It’s a good addition and wasn’t a perfect fit under strategy 2.4.3.

Response P.14: Updated Action Area 1 text to make it clearer that the strategies in this area are designed to help with Spanish Bight flooding.

Response P.15: Table AP-1 is meant to be a summary of the strategies included in the plan. Strategies such as bio-retention areas, swales, increase tree cover, and pervious materials are very important climate change adaptation strategies, but they are usually used to address precipitation-based flooding rather than sea level rise and storm surge. For that reason, they are not included in this plan. The dunes included in the nature-based section of Table AP-1 is the most appropriate type of living shoreline for the action areas covered in this plan.

Response P.16: The federal funding strategies are meant to support any of the activities in this table, which is why they’re included in the Overarching Adaptation Strategies section of the plan. A sentence has been added before Table AP-1 to make that clearer.

Response P.17: We have added mentions of the Public Works Storage yard into the report. It is recommended for monitoring at this point in time due to the existing walls around the facility and the fact that floodwaters enter from adjacent properties.

City of Coronado Page 307
47 Response P.18: The City agrees that bioretention is an appropriate strategy for the stormwater issues that will become worse in this area over time, but it is less effective for managing sea level rise so it is not included in this particular plan.

Response P.19: The last bullet of suggestions for the Port (Convert developed and impervious areas around the Ferry Landing to natural conditions [e.g., beach/marsh].) is a nature-based solution recommendation since it would rely on the beach/marsh for protection of inland areas.

Response P.20: Added as an alternative to 4.f. in the adaptation pathway.

Response P.21: Added this note to the Action Area description in section 3.6.

Response P.22: Added this to the Action Area description in section 3.8.

Response P.23: Added this to the description in section 3.8.1 Response P.24: The City contacted Caltrans for an estimate of replacement value, and unfortunately they replied that no information was available.

Response P.25: Added to the text in section 3.8.2.

Letter Q: Smart Coast California
Jane Thornton
Coastal Planner
City of Coronado
Submitted via email to [email protected]
RE: Coronado Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan
Dear Ms. Thornton,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit comment regarding the Coronado Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan.

Smart Coast California would like to express support for the following policies:

Adaptation Planning
SCCa supports the Adaptation Plan’s acknowledgment that cost assessments of inaction based on tax assessor information significantly underestimate damage in many areas with tax-exempt properties. SCCa emphasizes the importance of proactive adaptation planning and implementation now to protect private and community resources and avoid exorbitant future costs.

SCCa also supports the Planning action below that proposes financial incentives for property owners to voluntarily retrofit their properties for sea level rise resilience, as opposed to being compelled by regulation. Comment noted.
- Pages 22-23 2.4.2 Incentivize Private Building Retrofits Tiered Response
SCCa supports the Adaptive Management strategy below that calls for implementing new strategies only upon certain levels and rates of sea level rise being observed at local tide gauges. This type of tiered response strategy based on monitoring and triggers enables more responsive and costefficient planning than acting only according to projections. Comment noted. - Page 17 2.1.1 Monitor Sea Level Rise Over Time
SCCa also supports the Plan’s organization of color-coded adaptation options by color, as shown in the Action Areas’ adaptation pathway diagrams. This color-coding facilitates clear comprehension of proposed adaptation and demonstrates the use of a range of soft to hard options.

City of Coronado Page 309
49 Managed Retreat
SCCa supports the balanced inclusion of managed retreat as an option in the future based on field measurements and tiered response strategies in appropriate areas, such as the Municipal Golf Course in Action Area 3, but not in pocket parks abutted by existing development, such as Bayview Park, if those adjacent properties are not adequately addressed. When retreat is proposed in developed areas as part of a voluntary government buyout program, such as in Action Area 9, SCCa supports the condition that it be “focused on providing residents with fair market value for their homes.” Comment noted.
- Page 89 Action Area 9: Key Takeaways
- Page 94 Action Area 9: Strategy 9.e
Shoreline Protective Devices and Other Adaptation
SCCa supports the Plan’s use of a range of protection options, including using shoreline protective devices when necessary to protect existing residential and commercial development. Strategies include upgrading and constructing new seawalls, floodwalls, riprap revetments, levees, groins, breakwaters, and elevated roadways. Comment noted.

- Page 91 Action Area 9: Strategies 9.e and 9.f
- Page 94 Action Area 9: Strategy 9.c
SCCa also supports the “soft” protection or nature-based adaptation strategies proposed in certain appropriate areas, such as vegetated/cobbled sand dunes and beach nourishment (see CommunityWide Protection for a suggestion on living breakwaters/artificial reefs). Comment noted. - Page 45 Action Area 3: Strategies 3.d and 3.i

City of Coronado Page 310
50 Specifically within Action Area 3, SCCa supports ultimately converting the Municipal Golf Course into a living shoreline reinforced with cobble berms and dunes to protect the inland homes. A special assessment district (for example, forming a Geologic Hazard Abatement District) will be a useful funding mechanism for this adaptation strategy. Comment noted.

Community-Wide Protection
SCCa supports the Planning action below to use zoning overlays to accomplish soft and hard community adaptation solutions. SCCa suggests forming Shoreline Protection Exception Areas, such as has been proposed in Santa Cruz County, to accomplish coordinated protection of existing development.
-“The goal for this geographic area is to maintain, rehabilitate and/or replace existing shoreline protection structures, and allow new shoreline protection structures, in a coordinated manner, largely at private expense, so that impacts on public coastal resources are reduced.” [Santa Cruz County Local Coastal Program, Public Safety Element Amendments, page 27] SCCa also supports using special assessment districts to fund adaptation measures, as provided for in Action Areas 7 and 9:
- Page 78 Action Area 7: Strategies 7.c and 7.g
- Page 91 Action Area 9: Strategies 9.b, 9.e, and 9.f
SCCa supports the proposed breakwaters as an adaptation option for Action Area 7 and strongly encourages the City to explicitly propose an underwater living breakwater/artificial reef strategy. This option may be effective in Action Areas 6 and 7 to protect vulnerable shoreline development and prevent beach erosion. The Port of San Diego South Bay Native Oyster Living Shoreline Project used reefballs to protect shoreline and enhance habitat adjacent to the Chula Vista Wildlife Refuge, indicating both local permitting feasibility and a collaborative opportunity with a major non-City landowning agency. Comment noted.

Smart Coast California would like to express concern for the following policies and suggests modifications:

Adaptation Options
The Adaptation Plan highlights the challenge of mixed land ownership throughout the Action Areas, particularly when the action of a non-City entity at the shoreline will affect the vulnerability of City communities inland. SCCa reiterates the Plan’s point that collaboration among land-owning entities and those that control the waters surrounding Coronado is essential. SCCa suggests including in this Plan a discussion of a living breakwater or artificial reef project implemented in collaboration with the Port, Navy, State Parks, and with guidance from SANDAG. See response Q.1.

City of Coronado Page 311
51 SCCa supports strategies 1.g and 1.h in Action Area 1 to protect and elevate Harborview and Bayside Parks to prevent flooding from reaching First Street. However, SCCa is concerned with strategy 1.i , which calls for retreat from Bayview Park. Retreating at a small pocket park is not a feasible option given the existing homes on either side that will be vulnerable when the park becomes inundated. SCCa suggests revising the strategies for Bayview Park to support protection of the proximal homes for as long as possible. See response Q.2. - Page 34 Action Area 1: Strategies 1.g, 1.h, 1.i
Additionally, SCCa suggests Action Area 1 better address the vulnerable shoreline properties north of First Street, which will not be protected by an elevated First Street. Although many are protected by existing riprap and private flood walls, SCCa suggests developing a community-wide protection option, such as a privately funded neighborhood seawall,[LC1] as this strategy will be more effective and cost efficient than protection limited to the boundaries of single properties. Coronado should also develop a staged, voluntary buyout program to acquire homes at fair market value that are projected to be inundated with 2.5 or more feet of sea level rise. Comment noted.

Change community seawall to privately funded neighborhood seawall. Some of these multi-million dollar homes have their own seawalls. For homes facing the Bay living shorelines or artificial reefs probably not an option. I will talk to Dave Skelly to find out how much protection an artificial reef would provide inside San Diego bay. [LC1] Comment noted.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment at this time. We look forward to working with you and your staff to craft a guidance document that provides leadership and promotes sensible, sustainable and defensible sea level rise planning.

Sincerely,
Joe Prian
President

52 Letter Q Responses
Response Q.1: Construction of groins or breakwaters is recommended as a future adaptation strategy in Action Area 7: Coronado Shores Beach Area to Avenida Lunar. In addition, Appendix AP-1 discusses the types of breakwaters that could be considered, including artificial reefs.

Response Q.2: Support for strategies 1.g and 1.h is noted. Strategy 1.i is a retreat-based alternative to strategy 1.h. The decision of which strategy is preferred does not need to be made until approximately

2.5 feet of sea level rise has been observed. The Adaptation Plan seeks to provide a range of feasible alternatives, rather than identifying a preferred strategy, because it recognizes that the science and community preferences may evolve over time. In addition, the City is unlikely to be able to implement all of the potential adaptation strategies due to the high cost of adaptation and will need to prioritize strategies and next steps over time.

REVIEW OF DRAFT SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATION: Accept report and authorize staff to proceed with preparation of a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan and public engagement efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT: The City was awarded a $221,000 Caltrans adaptation planning grant in October 2019. As part of the grant agreement, the City is required to contribute a $28,663 local match. In April 2021, the City Council authorized a $35,000 change order, bringing the total contract value to $278,100 and the City’s financial obligation to $57,100. Funds are available in the Community Development Department annual budget.

CITY COUNCIL AUTHORITY: This item is a policy matter and an advisory action reflective of the Council’s legislative role.

PUBLIC NOTICE: A public notice was not required for this item.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA): This action is not a project subject to CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).

BACKGROUND: The City Council authorized staff in November 2018 to submit a grant application to Caltrans to help fund a Sea Level Rise (SLR) Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Adaptation Plan. The City’s grant application was successful and Caltrans committed $221,000 to the project with the condition that the City contribute a local match of at least $28,663.

The City and Caltrans executed a grant agreement in November 2019, enabling the City to proceed with the project. On September 1, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with Moffat and Nichol in the amount of $243,100 to prepare the SLR VA and Adaptation Plan.

While preparing the SLR VA, staff and consultants identified that the sea level rise forecast model developed by the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS), referred to as the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS), did not capture the existing rip-rap revetment along Ocean Boulevard. On April 6, 2021, the City Council authorized a $35,000 change order to prepare a custom wave run-up model to accurately depict existing topography and the rip rap revetment along Ocean Boulevard. The proposed change order increased the total contract value from $243,100 to $278,100.

In June 2021, Moffatt and Nichol completed a draft SLR VA as shown in the following link and discussed in further detail in the analysis section below:
https://commentcoronado.org/7724/widgets/25132/documents/21564 ANALYSIS: The SLR VA is the initial step of the sea level rise planning process and will be followed by an adaptation planning process. The SLR VA is a technical report that includes a description of how coastal processes have shaped the City to date, an inventory of land uses and infrastructure, maps that depict the potential effects of incremental sea level rise, an analysis of how vulnerable each resource is to sea level rise, and a high level, broad economic impact analysis.

The report allows staff, the City Council, and the public to get a baseline understanding of the risks of sea level rise to the City without any mitigation. The subsequent Adaptation Plan will include options for how the City can reduce the impacts of sea level rise. 277

Attachment 2

The first step in developing the SLR VA was to inventory public and private resources to be evaluated for potential sea level rise impacts. Resources include natural and manmade features that provide a benefit to the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors. The inventory includes Cityowned buildings, transportation and utility infrastructure, parks and recreation facilities, and private property. Since the entire City is within the coastal zone, the whole City was within the scope for the inventory, excluding resources within other jurisdictional boundaries (i.e. U.S. Navy, California State Parks, Port of San Diego).

After identifying the City’s resources, potential sea level rise predictions were mapped. The SLR VA evaluates potential impacts of sea level rise using results of U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS), which forecasts sea level rise along most of the California coast and is considered the best available science for the state. While preparing the draft SLR VA, staff and its consultants identified that the CoSMoS results did not capture the existing rip-rap revetment along Ocean Boulevard or accurately depict topography along Coronado’s Pacific Ocean shoreline. Due to the deficiencies of the CoSMoS results, the consultant augmented the model to depict actual topographic conditions more accurately on the ocean and bay-sides.

The results of the augmented CoSMoS analysis provide predictions of shoreline erosion, temporary flooding during a 100-year storm, and inundation, which is defined as areas of daily wetting associated with a spring high tide (a high water level which occurs twice per month during the new and full moon). The full set of projected sea level rise maps are on pages 37-54 within the report, and also included separately in Appendix B. Due to the high degree of uncertainty associated with predicting when and at what rate sea level rise will occur, the study analyzed a range of sea level rise values in equal increments between 0.8 feet and 4.9 feet or 0.25 meters to

1.5 meters.

The timing at which 0.8 ft increments of SLR may occur is not an exact science and, based on state-level guidance, the approximate decade of occurrence is presented in the figure on the following page for three risk aversion scenarios: Low Risk, Medium Risk, and Medium-High Risk.

Low Risk has the highest chance of occurrence (17% at the designated year), while Medium-High Risk has a much lower chance of occurring in the specified year (0.5% chance). Risk aversion consideration is important for planning purposes, especially regarding adaptation. A resource that is considered low risk when faced when sea level rise impacts, such as a park bench, may not require planning for low probability scenarios because the consequences of coastal hazards are relatively low. Whereas a high risk resource, such as an electrical substation, may require planning for low probability scenarios because the consequences of coastal hazards are relatively high, affecting large populations and incurring high repair costs. 278

*17% Probability (Approximately 1 in 6 chance of occurrence by the designated year) **5% Probability (1 in 20 chance of occurrence by the designated year) ***0.5% Probability (1 in 200 chance of occurrence by the designated year) The sea level rise projection maps were overlaid on the resource inventory maps, and each City resource was analyzed for vulnerability to sea level rise. Vulnerability for the City’s resources is assessed based on exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. These concepts are illustrated in the following figure, followed by a discussion on how these concepts apply to the City specifically.

Exposure
The most exposed parts of the City include the historic Spanish Bight area, Ferry Landing, the Glorietta Bay shoreline, Silver Strand, and the Coronado Cays. These areas all share the characteristic of having low ground surface elevations and are projected to be impacted from the bay-side. The ocean side of the City is anticipated to be more resilient to sea level rise because of Example: a restroom that gets flooded
every month is far more exposed than an
aquatics center that gets flooded once a
century.

Example: a power substation at low
elevation would be more sensitive to
flooding than a park bench due to the
consequences of it being in contact with
water.

Example: a house is not very adaptable
because it would have to be either
relocated or raised up on stilts, while a
roadway is adaptive because if it gets wet
the water either drains away or the road
gets closed for the period that it is flooded.
279
City of Coronado Page 316
7/20/21
the existing wide sandy beach, dune systems, Ocean Boulevard seawall, and relatively higher ground surface elevations.

Sensitivity
Resources within the City that are especially sensitive to sea level rise are private residences, some public infrastructure that supports the critical function of the population (such as City Hall, stormwater outlets, and pump stations), and roadways which provide access to this critical infrastructure and evacuation routes, most specifically Silver Strand/SR-75.

Adaptive Capacity
Resources within the City that are most adaptable to sea level rise tend to include significant open space (North Beach and the golf course), may be relocated temporarily or permanently (lifeguard stations, restrooms), and assets that can be relatively, easily repaired (bikeways or public parking).

Overall Vulnerability
The SLR VA identifies the City’s assets are most vulnerable to sea level rise based on analysis of what City resources are exposed to sea level rise and associated hazards, are sensitive to damage or loss of function, and are least adaptable.

The Coronado Yacht Club, Cays Yacht Club, and stormwater outlets are among the most vulnerable assets, a direct result of their functional need to be located at the water’s edge.

Roadways, especially Silver Strand/SR-75, are very vulnerable to sea level rise because of the large length of roadway which is exposed. Development (private residences and commercial properties) is also highly vulnerable to sea level change, especially parcels within the Spanish Bight area and Coronado Cays community, where large areas at low elevation are projected to flood over time.

City resources that are least vulnerable to sea level rise are generally not impacted by sea level rise to 4.9 ft, such as the Fire and Police Departments, or are highly adaptable, such as North Beach. The table below includes the overall vulnerability for each City resource. The following table lists the City’s most vulnerable assets in order of decreasing vulnerability to sea level rise.

The SLR VA also includes an economic impact analysis. There are a number of limitations to the economic impact analysis, including that it is based on assessor data (which can differ from current market value), does not consider the exact materials used for each resource, does not factor in inflation, and does not include construction estimates. The estimates are intended to be rough order of magnitude costs to be compared against each other in order to understand the relative scale of potential damages.

The economic impact analysis concluded that parcel damage estimates related to sea level rise can range from $1,500 to $1.5 billion dollars for inundation damages between 0.8 feet of sea level rise to 4.9 feet of sea level rise, and $1.7 million at 0.8 feet of sea level rise to $508 million at 4.9 feet of sea level rise for damages from 100-year storms. Damages to utilities and transportation infrastructure not covered in parcel damage estimates were also estimated and replacement value estimates are shown below.

Public Engagement
As part of the SLR VA development, staff and the consultant conducted stakeholder interviews with neighboring jurisdictions or agencies. A community workshop is scheduled for July 29, 2021, which will include a presentation of the draft Vulnerability Assessment. A survey is also being hosted on the dedicated sea level rise planning Comment Coronado webpage until August 27, 2021. Another community workshop will occur in fall 2021. Moving forward, the consultant will integrate public comments and survey results into the final version of the consolidated Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan.

Next Steps
The next step for the sea level rise planning effort is to begin work on an Adaptation Plan. The Adaptation Plan will provide a variety of adaptation strategies and approaches and will serve as the City's “toolbox” to provide the City Council with options to protect critical infrastructure and facilities, and help property owners plan for and address potential impacts identified by the vulnerability assessment. Adaptation strategies may range from “hard” engineering approaches such as coastal armoring (sea walls, revetments, etc.) to “natural” approaches including retrofitting facilities and infrastructure; modifying design standards, zoning and flood regulations; beach nourishment projects; dunes and living shorelines; and developing informed land use policies as rising seas result in more frequent and destructive impacts. The Adaptation Plan will also include approximate cost estimates for various adaptation strategies.

Staff will provide a status update to the City Council in October 2021 to present the draft Adaptation Plan. The presentation of the final Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan is tentatively scheduled for December 2021. A timeline for the project is included below, including anticipated outreach. In accordance with the City’s grant agreement with Caltrans, the project must be completed prior to February 28, 2022.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
August 16, 2022 10e

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD CONTRACTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF

THE PARKER PUMP STATION REPLACEMENT PROJECT AND ASSOCIATED

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES (INCLUDING A PROJECT CONTINGENCY) IN THE AMOUNT OF $26,842,249, COMMIT $15,363,196 OF THE REMAINING FUNDING NEEDED FROM THE CDA LOAN FUND (160), AND DIRECT STAFF TO CONDUCT FUNDING ANALYSIS FOR THE

FUTURE FUNDING APPROPRIATION
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to award contracts to (1) J.R. Filanc Construction Company in the amount of $22,364,200 for the construction of the Parker Pump Station Replacement Project; (2) Harris and Associates in the amount of $1,423,772 for construction management services; (3) Psomas in the amount of $592,569 for construction support services; (4) Ninyo and Moore in the amount of $118,188 for geotechnical and special inspection services; (5) LaRoc Environmental in the amount of $107,520 for groundwater monitoring and reporting. In addition, a project contingency of $2,236,000 per Municipal Code section 8.07.020 will be included. Commit $15,363,196 of the remaining funding needed from the CDA Loan Fund (160) and direct staff to conduct funding analysis for the future funding appropriation.

BACKGROUND:

The Parker Pump Station Replacement Project includes construction of a new sanitary sewer and storm drain pump station at 800 Coronado Avenue (adjacent to the current pump station location at the intersection of Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue) with an above-ground control building.

The existing pump station will be demolished to accommodate an emergency backup generator for the new pump station as well as a small, passive green space for aesthetics to meet community standards.

On March 15, 2022, the City Council approved a list of contractors deemed “qualified” to bid on and construct the project; an additional contractor was added to the list of qualified contractors via Council Action on May 17, 2022. In total, eleven contractors were deemed qualified to bid on and construct the project.

A notice inviting bids inclusive of project plans and specifications was advertised to the list of qualified contractors on May 23, 2022. Four addenda were issued and submittals were due on July 14, 2022.

ANALYSIS:

Bids were publicly opened on Thursday, July 14, with the following results:

BIDDER BID
J.R. Filanc Construction Company $22,364,200
Pacific Hydrotech Corporation $27,106,500
Stacy and Whitbeck, Inc. $28,697,997
City of Coronado Page 320
Staff reviewed the bid package, insurance, bonding, and references for J.R. Filanc Construction Company. In accordance with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, J.R.

Filanc Construction Company is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Public contracting laws require the City to award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, in this case, J.R. Filanc Construction Company.

A variety of consultant contracts are recommended for approval to support the construction effort on this project. These contracts are briefly summarized as follows:
• Construction Management (Harris and Associates): Full-time construction management from construction contract execution through project completion; This includes full-time on-site inspection of the project.
• Construction Support (Psomas): Technical support from the design team, as needed, from construction contract execution through project completion. • Geotechnical and Special Inspections Contract (Ninyo and Moore): On-site geotechnical observation and testing, materials testing, and special inspection (for example: structural masonry grouting, field welding, etc) as needed through construction of the project. • Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting (LaRoc Environmental): groundwater sampling and lab analysis on a regular basis as required by Regional Water Quality Control Board permitting. This service is already ongoing and will continue through project completion.

The above consultant contracts are recommended to provide enhanced construction oversight and coordination as the project is complicated, will have impacts on the surrounding area during construction, and is to be constructed within an aggressive schedule; it is also necessary as City staff available to inspect construction activity is limited. Each of the consultants listed above are already approved as “on-call” consultants for the City of Coronado. Each of the contracts described are to be invoiced on a time and materials basis for services rendered.

On-site construction activity for the project is anticipated to take approximately 18 months to complete.

FISCAL IMPACT:

As identified in the FY 22/23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), a total of $15,514,000 has been allocated to the Parker Pump Station project (Account: 9777-17011). To date, $4,034,947 has been expended, as shown below.

On June 15, 2021, City Council authorized the transfer and appropriation of $5.3 million, including the acquisition of the property at 800 Coronado Avenue. At the time, the project finance plan proposed an interfund loan from Fund 436, Major Facilities Replacement Fund, over three fiscal years, for a total of $19.3 million: FY 21/22 ($5.3 million), FY 22/23 ($9.0 million), and FY 23/24 ($5.0 million). Accordingly, interfund transfers of $5.3 million and $9.0 million have been authorized by the Council in corresponding fiscal years.

Since then, a significant cost increase occurred due to the construction industry and economic conditions. The table below summarizes the updated project budget of $26,842,249, which leaves $15,363,196 of remaining funding needs, as shown in the table below:

(Less) Remaining Appropriation: ($11,479,053)
Total Remaining Balance $15,363,196
FY 22/23 adopted budget projects an ending fund balance of Fund 436, Major Facilities Replacement Fund, at $11,352,094. As this fund balance is less than the full amount of the project's remaining funding need, it is recommended that the remaining funding need of $15,363,196 to be committed to Fund 160 CDA Loan Fund. Committing will subject this fund to a specific purpose, in this case, the contracts for the construction of the Parker Pump Station Replacement Project, without appropriating the fund at this time. An existing example of a committed fund balance under the General Fund is $500,000 for the Historic Preservation (Mills Act). Staff will return to Council in the future to either reverse the commitment or appropriate the fund pending the result of a funding analysis.

Staff will analyze and seek to identify optimal funding options, including potential funding sources, as noted below:
• Fund 510 (Wastewater Utility): This fund is in the process of a rate-study update, being conducted by a third-party consultant. The last rate study was completed in 2014 and no increases in sewer rates have occurred since July of 2019. The rate study incorporates projected capital costs, inclusive of this and all wastewater projects anticipated in the upcoming five-year period. That data, as well as other market factors such as Metro JPA costs for the City, are used to inform residential and commercial rates. An escalated interfund loan payment schedule can also be considered in the study. • Fund 436 (Major Facilities Replacement): Partial funding can still be provided from this fund. For example, $5.0 million of interfund transfer in FY 23/24 as initially proposed in June 2021.

• Other sources: External financing (i.e. loan, bond issuance), Federal/State grants, and/or other internal funds such as Fund 160 CDA Loan Fund. Use of certain types of funding, i.e. federal funding, will necessitate additional requirements such as a more comprehensive environmental review.

ALTERNATIVE:

The Council may elect to reject all bids and re-bid the project.
