Climate Action & Adaptation Plan
Environmental Consultant PSA - Dudek
2 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan
• Climate Action and Adaptation Plan helps communities reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change. • Difference between a Climate Action Plan (CAP) and a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is:
o CAP focuses on Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG).
o CAAP focuses on Mitigation and Adaptation.
• CAAP includes not only efforts to reduce GHG emissions (mitigation) but also strategies to adapt to the effects of climate change that are already happening or expected to occur in the future (adaptation). Adaptation involves preparing for impacts such as rising sea levels, increased heat, droughts, and wildfires.
3 CAAP Benefit
• The development of a CAAP was approved as part of City Council’s Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives.
• CAAP will assess the impact of climate change in Costa Mesa and identify the highest priority and most feasible solutions to put the City on track to meet the State’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.
• Helps address state legislative requirements pertaining to current and future legislation addressing climate change and adaptation. • SB 32 Requires 40% reduction to 1990 levels by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2045
• Housing & Climate Change Requirements
• Will account for the additional 11,760 units allocated by RHNA. 4 CAAP Benefit
• Helps build a stronger, more sustainable, and equitable City, ensuring sustainability measures and adaptation is accounted for across the entire community, and will serve as a foundational plan to achieve these objectives.
• CEQA requires analysis of a project’s GHG emissions. On a project-by- project basis, such analysis can be complicated and costly, the CAAP provides a streamlined cumulative impacts analysis for CEQA purposes. 5 Request For Proposals
• August 23, 2023, request for proposal (RFP) was issued for Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) environmental services. • Three proposals were submitted.
• Consultants were evaluated based on method of approach, qualifications and experience, staffing, and proposal cost.
• Staff determined Dudek was the most qualified to complete the City’s CAAP.
• Two-year contract accounting for approximately $200,000 a year, including CEQA analysis.
6 Scope
• Develop a pathway to reduce emissions by 2045 to meet State’s goal; • Effectively engage Costa Mesa residents in the CAAP development; • Demonstrate how Costa Mesa will adapt and improve its resilience to climate change that impacts the City now and respond to future climate change scenarios;
• Establish a set of cohesive climate action and adaptation strategies, implementation measures, and metrics for measuring progress and success across the City;
• Identify synergies between mitigation and adaptation strategies to leverage City resources and budgets; and
• Detail the City’s governance, powers, and capacity, as well as identifying the partners who need to be engaged to accelerate the delivery of the City’s mitigation targets and resilience goals. 7 Next Steps
• November Kick Off Meeting with
Consultant Team
• Data Collection & Coordination
(November 2024-March 2025)
• Community Outreach (January-
October 2025)
• Data Analysis, Assumptions,
Assessment & Adaptation Measures
(mid 2025- early 2026)
• Estimated Completion - July 2026
8 Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for two years with two one-year renewals in the amount of $418,625 to Dudek (Environmental, Planning and Engineering Firm), for consulting services.
2. Authorize a ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of $41,862 for unforeseen costs related to the project.
3. Authorize a budget adjustment of $300,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund (401) fund balance and $50,000 from the SoCal Gas Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Grant.
4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, and City Clerk to execute the PSA and any future amendments to the agreement.

Discussion:
3 • The City adopted its Housing Element in November 2022 which included Chapter 4, Housing Plan.
• The Housing Plan identifies specific actions or “programs” which work to:
• Provide additional housing opportunities;
• Remove governmental constraints to affordable housing; • Improve the condition of existing housing; and,
• Provide equal housing opportunities for all residents. • The Housing Element lists 47 programs to be completed by the City within the 2021-2029 planning period; the majority have deadlines in the next two to three years.
