COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT

1 SUBJECT:
Hate Speech and Remote Public Comment during City Council and Planning Commission Meetings
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Discuss the recent occurrence of hate speech through remote public comment during the September 25, 2023, City Council meeting and provide direction to the City Manager regarding remote public comment procedure changes.
STAFF CONTACT:
Kevin Woodhouse, City Manager

INTRODUCTION:
As a result of the harmful and disruptive impacts from the occurrence of hate speech through remote public comment during the September 25, 2023, City Council meeting, Mayor Bigstyck and other members of the City Council separately requested this study session be agendized to discuss this incident and the City’s path forward. The City of Pacifica stands united against hate. There is no place for hate in the City’s Mission, Vision, and Values for the community or the city organization. What occurred on September 25th, hate-filled speech behind the anonymity of technology that allows remote public comment, was harmful to the community, city staff, and the City Council and disruptive to the meeting. However, such speech in a City Council meeting is also afforded protections under the First Amendment, as described in more detail below. The commenters who delivered the hate speech are technologically adept with remote comment technology, know their rights, are well-organized in their efforts to disrupt democracy, and achieved such disruption and harm on September 25th, as well as at many other public meetings in our region recently.
The fundamental question before the Council tonight is whether the ultra-convenience of public comment from one’s living room is worth even one second or a small chance that a white supremacist outside of this community gets in their hateful comment and the harm that causes.
There is not an easy answer for the Council in balancing the values of public engagement and protected speech rights. For years and years there have been successful means for robust public comment and engagement leading to quality public policy decisions through in-person and written engagement. Then came the recent pandemic, combined with technology advances that allowed remote public comment, and as a result a post-pandemic citizenry having grown accustomed to the convenience of new technologies and most cities in our region implementing hybrid meeting technology to allow remote public comment. However, technologies can be abused, and when the avenues for such abuse become apparent, as in this case of white supremacists commandeering Zoom technology, changes are essential. In this case, robust public comment and engagement can continue without Zoom, yet harmful anonymous hate speech needs Zoom or remote phone comment to achieve their goal to viscerally impact communities and individuals by engendering hate. While there may be strategies, as described Packet Pg. 7
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
in more detail below, to minimize the harm and disruption of hate speech, as long as Zoom or remote phone comment avenues exist, the First Amendment will allow anonymous hate speech to occur. To balance the Council’s goals of both providing robust public engagement and looking out for the health of the community and employees, which are both priorities in the City Council’s Strategic Plan, the City Manager recommends there be a temporary suspension of remote public comment, similar to what other agencies in our region are doing.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Recently, jurisdictions throughout the Bay Area, including the City of Pacifica, have received a number of public comments through the remote access option (Zoom or some other remote access platform), which make antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ+ statements (“Off-topic comments”). These Off-topic comments are often referred to as “hate speech.” Although extremely difficult to listen to, “hate speech” is still speech that is afforded protections under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and California Constitution. Courts have held that the council chambers of a city are a limited public forum, with regulations allowed related to “time, place, and manner.” While a city may adopt reasonable regulations to govern the conduct of a public meeting, care must be given to ensure that the regulations themselves do not violate the public’s freedom of expression by constituting a barrier to providing comments or a “prior restraint” on expression.
In terms of conduct during a meeting, courts have found that the First Amendment allows a hateful speaker their room to express their opinions unless and until the speech “disrupts” the meeting. For example, in Williamson v. City of National City, 23 F.4th 1146 (9th Cir. 2022), the court validated the removal of persons who were lying prone on the floor making it impossible to continue the meeting. In these instances, if their speech disrupts the meeting such that the Council can no longer perform the tasks of the meeting, then they can be removed. On the other hand, in Norse v. City of Santa Cruz, 629 F.3d 966 (9th Cir. 2010), the removal of a commenter who made a Nazi salute was invalid because simply saluting was not a “disruption” of the meeting and therefore his removal violated his right to free speech. The court defined “disruption” as an action that “actually disrupt[s]” and not merely distressing.
In California, the Ralph M. Brown Act applies to meetings conducted by local public agencies to ensure that the public has the opportunity to view and participate in meetings of legislative bodies. The Brown Act requires public meetings to provide the public with the opportunity to comment on the agenda items. At a regular meeting, the public must be able to address the legislative body on “any item of interest to the public, before or during the legislative body’s consideration of the item, which is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.” The Brown Act also authorizes a legislative body to adopt reasonable regulations to ensure that the intent of the provisions relating to this public comment requirement are followed, including, but not limited to, regulations limiting the total amount of time allocated for public testimony on individual issues and for each individual speaker.
In 2022, SB 1100 was signed into law which revised the Brown Act to authorize the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting to remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting. Generally, the new law requires removal to be preceded by a warning to the individual by the presiding member of the legislative body or their designee that the individual’s behavior is disrupting the meeting and that the individual’s failure to cease their behavior may result in their removal. “Disrupting” is defined as engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to, one of the following: (1) a failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or any other law; or 2) engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force. However, both the Brown Act and First Amendment, allow restrictions on Packet Pg. 8
Pacifica City Council 3
October 09, 2023
speech which is not related to an agenda item or about a topic that is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.
The City must conduct all of its public meetings in a manner that is consistent with the foregoing First Amendment rights of speakers, the Brown Act and other relevant regulations such as the City Council’s adopted City Council Rules and Code of Ethics.
ANALYSIS:
In response to this flood of “hate speech” statements being provided via remote access public comment, a number of public agencies have decided to terminate the remote access option but allow in-person or written public comments. In San Mateo County: Burlingame, Redwood City, San Bruno, and South San Francisco have all terminated remote access for public comments.
Daly City had discontinued remote access public comments prior to the recent “hate speech” incidents. Some cities such as Daly City and Burlingame provide for the option of reading written public comments received by email aloud at the meeting, subject to similar limitations for individual speakers and/or parameters as defined in the meeting agenda, in addition to receiving verbal public comments in-person at the physical meeting location. Some cities such as Atherton, Belmont, Brisbane, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, and San Mateo are currently continuing to allow remote access public comments, but many have implemented procedures with more prominent statements regarding the limited public forum and rules to stay on-topic or within subject matter jurisdiction of the city in public comments and the Council’s rules for public decorum. However, San Mateo implemented this practice at the October 2, 2023, City Council meeting and still experienced significant disruption of the meeting by off-topic comments categorized as hate speech, even when commenters were muted after receiving sufficient warnings regarding off-topic comment. Additional cities such as Belmont, Millbrae, and San Carlos are in the process of determining if and how their current hybrid meeting practices may be adjusted; for some, staff will lead the process and for others the City Council is anticipated to provide direction at a future meeting. At a recent City Council meeting, the Burlingame City Council directed that City staff may have the flexibility to make determinations with respect to suspension of remote access public comment; the determination was subsequently made by the City Manager in consultation with the City Clerk to discontinue remote access public comment.
Similarly, Atherton has determined that City staff will lead the process of determining if any process modifications may be necessary for meeting participation and how public comments may be made.
In Pacifica, the City Manager, in consultation with the Mayor, determined that the remote access option for the Planning Commission meeting on October 2, 2023, should be temporarily suspended, as well as for the October 9, 2023 City Council meeting. The suspension of remote access is intended to allow the full Council to discuss the issue of hate speech and options for addressing comments that are clearly off-agenda topic or outside the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council.
Remote Public Participation via Zoom
City staff, working with Pacific Coast Television, completed improvements to the meeting technology capabilities in the Council Chambers to allow a hybrid meeting format on the Zoom platform during public meetings. This hybrid meeting format allows the public to access City Council and Planning Commission meetings remotely to provide public comment during the meeting through the Zoom platform or to attend the meetings in-person and provide public comment at the meeting location. Public agencies are not required to provide remote access for public comments except for instances when a member of a legislative body is participating remotely under the just cause or emergency circumstances provided in Assembly Bill (AB) 2449. Thus, offering this option to the public is within the discretion of the City, except in those Packet Pg. 9
Pacifica City Council 4
October 09, 2023
cases when an official wants to participate remotely under AB 2449.
The most significant benefit to the remote access option for public comment is the access it provides to those members of the public who cannot otherwise attend the meeting. Along with providing additional access to meetings, there is an increased risk of receiving these public comments filled with antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ+ statements. These hate filled off-topic public comments impact not just the community but City staff members as well.
Strategies for Addressing Off-Topic Comments During Remote Participation via Zoom If the Council desires to continue to allow remote participation via Zoom, there is no guarantee that the community, staff, and the Council will not be harmed in the future by a recurrence of hate speech via remote public comment. While there are some strategies, summarized below, that can be deployed to minimize the duration of off-topic comments or comments that are not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council, even mere seconds or utterances of single words can be immeasurably damaging. The following strategies could be considered to somewhat help, if the Council is inclined to prioritize the convenience of remote public comment for community members over the harmful impacts of hate speech.
Potential Procedural Strategies
At this time, staff has identified the following three potential procedural strategies:
1. Temporarily move public comments on non-agendized items to after the Consideration Items on the Agenda. This agenda order change could potentially decrease the number of community members exposed to hate speech; however, it would not change the impact to staff and Councilmembers;
2. Limit the entire time for oral communications to a set period of approximately 30 minutes. While this time-limit could assist with limiting the number of off-topic comments during oral communications, it would not address those public comments being provided under specific agendized items.
3. Implement procedures to require a cut off time to accepting public comments remotely.
Instead of allowing speakers on Zoom to raise their hands at any time during the public comment period, the Clerk could give a specific time within which speakers on Zoom must indicate they want to speak to allow a much more streamlined public comment period.
Unfortunately, the Brown Act prohibits the City from demanding that speakers provide their names (or other information), complete a questionnaire, or otherwise fulfill any condition precedent to attendance. (Govt. Code § 54953.3). Thus, the City Clerk could not pre-screen or otherwise require self-identification prior to speaking.
Warning System
Several cities have implemented a warning system that could reduce the time the Council, staff, and community are subjected to these Off-topic comments. The Mayor could make a statement at the beginning of oral communications highlighting that the meeting is a limited public forum and that all comments must be either within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City if related to a non-agendized item, or on topic if related to an agendized item. The warning would then state that if this directive is ignored following a warning by the Mayor, after consultation with the City Attorney, then the Mayor will direct the Clerk to turn off that speaker’s microphone and mute the speaker.
Packet Pg. 10
Pacifica City Council 5
October 09, 2023
As noted above, this system has limited effectiveness because a speaker will have already verbalized their comments before being warned that their hate speech is off-topic, and would likely continue to verbalize such while being warned before being muted.
Continued Use of Zoom Platform to Observe Meetings
If the remote public participation option is terminated, the City Manager recommends continuing to use the Zoom platform for the public to view the meeting over the internet. This would provide the public with one more choice of options to view the meeting, in addition to allowing remote participation of City staff, City consultants, special presentation participants, and Councilmembers in accordance with state law.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
None identified, as the Council is being asked to discuss whether any alternative should be implemented for remote public comment procedures.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
This Item relates to the following City Council Goals:
05 Broaden public communications and collaboration: Increase communications, education, and connections for community mental health resources.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While there is staff time associated with the hybrid meeting format, there is no direct fiscal impact other than staff time as a result of any change to remote public participation.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Continuation of Proclamation of Local Emergency of the Pacifica Coastline from Westline Drive to the End of Beach Boulevard.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and make a determination that conditions of local emergency continue to exist within the Pacifica Coastline from Westline Drive to the end of Beach Boulevard.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On January 22, 2016, the Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency along the Pacifica coastline from Westline Drive to the end of Beach Boulevard due to El Nino storm activity. Extreme wave heights for extended periods of time caused top-of-bluff retreat at several locations along the Pacifica coast and damage to City infrastructure. Since this date, the Director of Emergency Services has proclaimed the existence of other local emergencies along this same stretch of coastline. These emergencies are described below:
• Failure of the sea wall and promenade on Beach Blvd. (in the vicinity of Santa Maria Avenue), which have been repaired, from the January 22, 2016 storm. • The 300 & 400 block of Esplanade experience episodic bluff erosion. In recent years (2016-2018), the bluff erosion has progressed to a point where the erosion is now threatening public infrastructure and utilities.
• Undermining of a seven-foot diameter storm drain outfall and concrete headwall for the discharge of Milagra Creek into the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of 700 Palmetto Avenue from the January 22, 2016, storm. Construction is scheduled to restart in February of 2021 due to project delays.
• A failure of the seawall and promenade on Beach Blvd. in the vicinity of Santa Rosa Avenue and the Pier was discovered on December 16, 2020. Ocean waves, king tides, and high swells undermined a portion of the sea wall and created a large void (25’x25”) between the pier abutment seawall connection, affecting the sidewalk and promenade.
City staff and contractors stabilized and repaired the large void on January 22, 2021.
The sidewalk and promenade restoration were completed on February 22, 2021.
Monitoring of the repaired area is on-going.

• On December 29, 2020, another failure of the seawall occurred approximately 150-200 feet north of the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Santa Rosa Avenue. A void, approximately 10’ deep by 15’ long, was found behind the seawall and was repaired with geotextiles and concrete slurry on January 5, 2021. Full restoration of this section was complete in February 2021. Monitoring of the repaired area is on-going. • On January 14, 2021, a combination of high tides and large waves damaged a forty-foot section of the Pacifica Municipal Pier’s west facing deck and concrete railing. Following this event, the Pier was closed due to safety concerns. City staff requested a structural engineering assessment of the above deck pier elements and a proposed repair and associated cost from a local engineering consultant. This information was provided to the City by the end of March 2021. The pier was reopened on April 2, 2021, but the damaged portion was fenced off for safety reasons. The City is currently moving forward with a repair project and is designing the repair. Construction will be funded by grant money provided through a Senate Bill 129. The City Council approved a resolution on December 13, 2021, to approve the application of the state grant funds for the repair of the pier and the application has been sent to the State Department of Parks and Recreation for processing. On May 13, 2022, the City received a Coastal Development Permit waiver from the California Coastal Commission to perform this work. A bid opening for the repair was held on June 9, 2022, and the City received one bid, which was $2 million above the project budget. Council rejected the bid and authorized the project to be rebid.
The City Council first ratified this proclamation (Attachment 1) at its regular meeting of January 25, 2016. Since that date, additional damage had occurred along Beach Boulevard and Esplanade Avenue as noted above.
Pursuant to Government Code section 8630(c), the City Council must review the need for continuing the local emergency at least every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency. Conditions of local emergency still exist since the City Council first acted to declare a local emergency on January 25, 2016, and since that time staff has brought the continuance of Proclamation confirming the existence of local emergency exists within the Pacifica Coastline from Westline Drive to the end of Beach Boulevard every 30 days with September 11, 2023, being the most recent.
The City is using a combination of city staff, contractors, and consultants to manage the discussed emergency work. Staff will bring recommendations to the Council to end the emergency designation for projects on the list once conditions stabilize and the projects are no longer in need of the emergency designation.
The City Manager recommends that the City Council make a determination that conditions of local emergency continue to exist within the Pacifica Coastline from Westline Drive to the end of Beach Boulevard.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Continuation of Proclamation of Local Emergency at the Anza Pump Station.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept Report and Make a Determination that Conditions of Local Emergency Continue to Exist at the Anza Pump Station at the Pacifica State Beach.
STAFF CONTACT:
Lisa Petersen, P.E., Director of Public Works

Louis Sun, P.E., Plant Manager - Wastewater Public Works (650) 738-4660
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On Monday, March 16, 2020, the Department of Public Works received a report regarding a fire at the Anza Pump Station at Pacifica State Beach. After Public Works staff investigated the report, it was determined that the storm drain pumping system and roof/bathrooms were damaged during the fire. The engines were destroyed, and the pumps needed to be replaced.
The damage to the pump station threatened and continues to threaten the safety of persons and properties within the watershed due to the risk of flooding without an operational pump station.
The City of Pacifica’s Emergency Plan and Section 4-2.01 et seq. of the Pacifica Municipal Code empower the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when there is an actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and properties within this City.
The proclamation is subject to ratification by the City Council within 7 days, pursuant to the Pacifica Municipal Code. The proclamation of the existence of a local emergency further designates the City Manager or designated representative to act on behalf of the City for public assistance and for individual assistance for purpose of receipt, processing and coordination of all inquiries and requirements necessary to obtain available State and Federal assistance.
Additionally, pursuant to Section 3-15.09 (A) of the Pacifica Municipal Code, in cases of an emergency the City Manager is authorized to proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans, specifications, or working details, or giving notice for bids to let contracts. The City must comply with Public Contract Code Section 22050, which provides a process for City Council’s review of the emergency action if notice of bids to let contracts for public projects will not be given because of the emergency.
In this case, the City Manager has determined that the damaged pump station threatens the health and safety of persons and properties, including critical public infrastructure, which 3 Packet Pg. 29
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
requires immediate attention and constitutes an emergency pursuant to Pacifica Municipal Code section 4-2.02 and Public Contract Code Section 1102.
Such conditions are, or are likely to be, beyond the handling capability of the City’s services, personnel, equipment, and facilities, requiring the use of outside contractors to conduct emergency design and repair pursuant to Pacifica Municipal Code section 3-15.09 without giving notice for bids to let contracts. Immediate action is, and continues to be necessary, due to the clear and imminent danger presented by any storm event that could occur during the time the storm water pump station is non-functional. Flooding could occur to areas upstream of the pump station, causing health and safety issues, as well as extensive property damage. As such, on April 8, 2020, the City Manager did proclaim the existence of a local emergency within the City and the need to continue the emergency action continues as the repair will take approximately 8-14 months or longer. The Proclamation of Local Emergency is attached to this staff report as Attachment 1.
City staff has contracted with the civil engineering firm of Schaaf & Wheeler of San Jose, California to assist the City with the rehabilitation of the pump station. In addition, the pump station has been cleared of any fire damaged debris and the damaged pumps/engines have been removed. On July 13, 2020, the City Council approved construction services agreement for rebuild and re-installation of a pump and gear drive, the renovation of bathrooms, purchase and installation of new stainless-steel doors, and repair pump station wet-well grates. As part of the on-going maintenance for the pump station, staff purchased a new pump which was approved by the Council at the August 9, 2020 City Council meeting. An emergency purchase agreement with Herc Rental for a temporary rental engine was also approved on September 1, 2020 and will remain in place until the pump station is operational. On October 12, 2020, temporary measures were completed to allow for a non-standard system of pumping at the Anza Pump Station until final repairs are completed. This work included a new pump, transfer switch, temporary roof, portable generator connections, and exterior double doors have been installed. Staff is continuing to evaluate and monitor storm water flows and purchased two new sump pumps to accommodate flows.
On May 10, 2021, City Council approved the purchase of two new Caterpillar engines utilizing the City’s established Sourcewell Cooperative Purchase Agreement. The rehabilitation plan is currently 100% completed, and staff has completed the engineering review. The roofing plan was approved by the Building Department. Staff has also completed selection of the Construction Management firm which was from the established On-Call Construction Management list. Staff is in the process of discussing permitting requirements for the overall project with the California Coastal Commission.
Staff completed the field portion of a topographic survey to support a PG&E application to reestablish natural gas service at the Anza Pump Station to supply the natural gas to run the prepurchased natural gas engines to drive the pumps. The City entered into an agreement with PG&E to tap the gas main and install a new gas meter. The City has also engaged a gas pipeline contractor for a quotation on installing the gas service line from the gas main to the gas meter. In addition, the City has submitted the Caltrans Encroachment Permit application required for gas service line construction on Highway 1 and has obtained a separate emergency Coastal Development Permit request with the California Coastal Commission for installation of the new gas line and a redundant pump/engine that was approved.
During a storm event on the morning of December 16, 2021, the City experienced some flooding in the lower Linda Mar area due to the temporary nonstandard pumping system that has been in use at Anza pump station due to the fire damaged pump station engines in March of 2020. This temporary system has been in place because the City has been working to reach agreement with the California Coastal Commission on the remaining permitting requirements for 3 Packet Pg. 30
Pacifica City Council 3
October 09, 2023
the permanent pumping system. The City faced several significant stormwater related events from October 2021 through December 2021 and will face more with the continuing storm season. Replacement of this temporary system is considered an emergency and staff is moving forward with construction of the permanent system. To further improve operations between now and when the Anza Pump Station Repair Project is completed, the City recently purchased a small diesel engine that will be used to drive one of the existing smaller stormwater pumps, thereby improving pump station resiliency in the interim. Staff issued a public request to prequalify bidders for the Anza Pump Station project in December 2021. Ultimately, two contractors were deemed qualified to bid on the project. Both contractors submitted bids for the project in February of 2022. The contractors specialize in pump stations.
As of May 1, 2022, the Anza Pump Station Repair Project’s General Contractor, DW Nicholson (DWN), has begun the work and is focusing on providing project equipment submittals and requests for information (RFIs). DWN is currently onsite and working. City consultant team members Schaaf and Wheeler (engineer of record providing construction support) and Ghirardelli and Associates (third-party construction manager) are working closely with City staff to process paperwork, respond to questions along with other issues as they arise, and manage the construction work. Active construction continues at the Anza Pump Station. Except for the roof hatches, the roof installation is complete. The Project continues to finalize electrical equipment submittals and continues coordination with the engine supplier. Two new gas engines were delivered to the site mid-December 2022 and are installed. The third new gas engine arrived at the supplier’s East Bay facilities in late May 2023 and was installed in June 2023. Conduit and wire installation is completed, and the manual testing of Engine #1 is scheduled for the week of September 25, 2023. The remaining manual operation testing is scheduled for mid-October 2023. Supply chain issues with the electric controls and electric control panel will delay the Pump Station from being tested and ready for automatic operation until late 2023. In addition, the project to construct a new 2-inch gas service line for the new gas engines was awarded to Casey Construction. Installation of the new 2-inch gas service line in the parking lot east of the Anza Pump Station was completed in October 2022. Installation of the new 2-inch gas service line from the parking lot into the Caltrans Right of Way near the existing PG&E gas main was completed end of November 2022. PG&E required additional utility location verification prior to moving forward with the new gas service line tie into the existing gas main, located in US 1. The City furnished PG&E this information. PG&E completed the gas service line tie-in to the gas main April 12th, 2023. The last step in this process consisted of PG&E installing their gas meter and regulator at the Anza Pump Station, which was completed May 2, 2023. In addition, two of the four Anza bathrooms were opened in time for July 4 2023, and the remaining two were opened on August 25, 2023.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 8630(c), the City Council must review the need for continuing the local emergency at least every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency. Conditions of local emergency still exist since the City Council first acted to declare a local emergency on April 13, 2020, and since that time staff has brought the continuance of Proclamation confirming the existence of local emergency at the Anza Pump Station every 30 days with September 11, 2023, being the most recent.
The City is using a combination of city staff, consultants, and contractors to manage the emergency work related to the Anza Pump Station repair project. The City Manager recommends that the City Council make a determination that conditions of local emergency continue to exist at the Anza Pump Station at the Pacifica State Beach. Staff will continue to update the Council on the progress of this emergency work monthly through the emergency declaration Council reports.

Approval To Purchase Replacement Structural Fire Fighting Safety Gear RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the Resolution to approve the replacement purchase of the Structural Fire Fighting Safety Gear (protective clothing) from LN Curtis in the amount of $169,634.
STAFF CONTACT:
Bill Amable, Deputy Chief, Administrative Services Bureau [email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
During the development of the FY 2023-24 Budget, the Council discussed a crucial need to replace the Structural Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in alignment with the safety standards outlined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1971 Standards, and allocated replacement funds in the adopted budget.
Each firefighter is equipped with two sets of Structural Firefighting PPE, with one set being replaced every 5 years, once it reaches its 10-year service life. This proactive approach prioritizes firefighter safety and ensures that our first responders’ team has the most reliable gear to perform their duties effectively.
The North County Fire Authority (NCFA) has partnered with LN Curtis, an authorized vendor, and a sole provider serving our region, for procuring the necessary Structural Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This vendor is also a member of NPPGov purchasing network which allows NCFA to secure the lowest pre-negotiated pricing available within the fire industry.
By prioritizing the safety and well-being of our firefighters through the regular replacement of PPE we continue to uphold our commitment to excellence in fire protection and emergency response.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Delaying the purchase of the PPE to the future year will adversely affect the personnel safety, operational efficiencies and the morale in the Fire Department.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Supports City Council goal of enhancing the organizational and fiscal stability.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
During the FY 2023-24 budget approval process, the City Council approved sufficient funding for Wastewater Division Fund 18 (Operations) that will allow the Division to provide funding for a consultant wastewater operator to help manage this winter’s storm events.
In the beginning of this year, the City experienced an extraordinary storm season, and that experience demonstrated the need to have adequate wastewater operator coverage. After the storm season, an unusual number of employee resignations occurred in wastewater operations.
Since then, Wastewater staff have worked with Human Resources (HR) to fill these critical vacant spots, and progress has been made in filling the vacant spots. Currently there is a shortage of certified wastewater operators in the industry, and this condition is making recruitment longer and more difficult. In addition, the typical training period for an operator is longer in Pacifica due to the unique nature of Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant. Because of the operator shortages and long training lead time for a wastewater operator, it is prudent to expand the City’s operational capabilities to include a consultant wastewater operator at this time.

Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
During the summer of 2023, staff solicited One Water LLC DBA Aqua Staffing to search and find consultant wastewater operators to fill any void between regular recruitment periods and to provide additional operational support especially during storm season. The consultant wastewater operator is a limited term position which could last from six months to a year.
One Water LLC DBA Aqua Staffing is one of the leading water industry recruitment firms specializing in water and wastewater personnel search services to cities, counties and special districts throughout the Bay Area and West Coast with proven record of successful placements.
Therefore, the City Manager is recommending the approval of the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Pacifica and One Water LLC DBA Aqua Staffing to provide wastewater operation services in the amount not to exceed $200,000 which includes recruitment fees and twelve months of service fee cost.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of the Professional Services Agreement with One Water LLC DBA Aqua Staffing is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Enhance organizational and fiscal stability: The consultant wastewater operator position will improve staff workload, retention, recruitment period support, and employee wellness.
• Improve and steward City infrastructure, streets, and facilities: The consultant operator position will support the operation of City’s wastewater treatment plant which will ensure proper treatment of wastewater and protect the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The not-to-exceed cost of the consultant wastewater operator recruitment in the amount of $200,000 includes recruitment fees and twelve months of service fee cost. The FY 2023-24 Budget includes funds for additional recruitment and operator services, so no additional budget authority is requested.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Resolution to Approve an Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Casey Construction for Construction of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project in Lower Linda Mar RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution Approving an Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Casey Construction for Construction of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project, in an Amount Not to Exceed $220,000 with a 20% Contingency, for a Total of $264,000.
STAFF CONTACT:
Lisa Petersen, P.E., Director of Public Works

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
During the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget approval process, the Council approved funding for the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project. This project will address flooding in lower Linda mar.
The lower Linda Mar area on Anza Drive at Arguello Boulevard has a history of flooding during large storm events as well as sewer spills when excess rainwater enters the sewer system filling the sewer to capacity. Public Works staff is in the process of applying for grants to build a more substantial storm water system in the lower Linda Mar area to address stormwater flooding.
Because the cost of this system is in the $6M range, and difficult to find grant funding for, the Council approved a lower cost interim stormwater system to move forward for the area while staff seeks funding for the larger project. This system would act as a redundant system to accommodate overflow from the existing system and would help mitigate flooding at 50-year storm conditions.
In April 2023, the City Manager signed an agreement with Carollo Engineers to begin a storm drain study of the Anza/Arguello area to determine if a lower cost interim storm drain system could be built in the area to help with intermittent flooding during large storm events. The study reviewed four options for the area. These included upsizing the western inlet at the Anza/Arguello intersection, connecting the 36” and 48” storm drainpipes downstream from the intersection, install a new storm drain along Anza and connecting this to the north end inlet and the final alternative was to install a 15” drainpipe along Anza then through new backyard easements at 943/951 Anza Drive to the storm drain system that runs along Hwy 1.
Review of these alternatives showed that connecting the 36” and 48” drainpipes would not provide any meaningful flood mitigation and running a storm line on Anza to the north end inlet was not feasible due to limited slope and pipe cover. Carollo Engineers has determined that increasing the size of the Anza/Arguello inlet in conjunction with installing a new storm pipe along Anza and through the new backyard easements would be the most effective interim fix. 6 Packet Pg. 57
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
These residents have agreed to provide the City with the needed storm drain easement. This fix was shown in the study to help mitigate flooding during 50-year storm events. Due to the slopes and utilities in the area, this is the most robust storm system that can be constructed in the location. The system would help mitigate current flooding, however, as previously discussed, any large rain event that exceeds the capacity of a storm system can still cause flooding in an area. Because this area of Anza/Arguello is a low spot in the City, flooding may continue to occur for events that exceed the capacity of any size system the City constructs.
Based on recent potholing of the gas lines, the design has been updated to allow for 2-12” lines to run down Anza to allow the storm drainpipes to avoid the PG&E gas lines that run along the street.
Time is of essence for the project due to the upcoming winter storm season and the City Manager is requesting waiving the bid process due to health and safety issues that come from flooding in the area and entering into an agreement with Casey Construction for a time and materials contract to construct the interim storm drain. City of Pacifica Administrative Policy #76, Purchasing Policy, section 3.6.1, authorizes the City Manager to waive bidding requirements for urgent procurement if he/she determines sufficient justification exists. Casey Construction has completed work in the City in the past and staff has been satisfied with the quality of their work. Carollo Engineering is finalizing a design for the storm drain system and Casey Construction will begin this work as soon as this can be fit into their schedule.
For these reasons, the City Manager is recommending adoption of a resolution approving an Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Casey Construction for construction of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project, in an amount not to exceed $220,000, with a 20% contingency for a total of $264,000; and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents related to the Agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose not to approve the Agreement with Casey Construction, via urgent purchase. However, doing so would delay project delivery and increase the chance of flooding in the Anza/Arguello area. The City Manager does not recommend this alternate action.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of the Agreement is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Improve and steward City Infrastructure, streets, and facilities: Construction of the interim storm drain system will improve the storm drain system in the area, allowing for a redundant system to drain excess stormwater.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Resolution to Approve a Master Agreement and Task Order 1 for Carollo Engineering for the Anza Interim Storm Drain Design
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution Approving a Master Agreement and Task Order 1 between the City of Pacifica and Carollo Engineers for Design of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project, in an Amount Not to Exceed $64,944.
STAFF CONTACT:
Lisa Petersen, P.E., Director of Public Works
(650) 738-3770
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
During the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget approval process, the Council approved funding for the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project. This project will address flooding in lower Linda Mar.
The lower Linda Mar area on Anza Drive at Arguello Boulevard has a history of flooding during large storm events as well as sewer spills when excess rainwater enters the sewer system filling the sewer to capacity. Public Works staff is in the process of applying for grants to build a more substantial storm water system in the lower Linda Mar area to address stormwater flooding.
Because the cost of this system is in the $6M range, and difficult to find grant funding for, the Council approved a lower cost interim stormwater system to move forward for the area while staff seeks funding for the larger project. This system would act as a redundant system to accommodate overflow from the existing system and would help mitigate flooding at 50-year storm conditions.
In April 2023, the City Manager signed an agreement with Carollo Engineers to begin a storm drain study of the Anza/Arguello area to determine if a lower cost interim storm drain system could be built in the area to help with intermittent flooding during large storm events. The study reviewed four options for the area. These included upsizing the western inlet at the Anza/Arguello intersection, connecting the 36” and 48” storm drainpipes downstream from the intersection, install a new storm drain along Anza and connecting this to the north end inlet and the final alternative was to install a 15” drainpipe along Anza then through new backyard easements at 943/951 Anza Drive to the storm drain system that runs along Hwy 1.
Review of these alternatives showed that connecting the 36” and 48” drainpipes would not provide any meaningful flood mitigation and running a storm line on Anza to the north end inlet was not feasible due to limited slope and pipe cover. Carollo Engineers has determined that increasing the size of the Anza/Arguello inlet in conjunction with installing a new storm pipe along Anza and through the new backyard easements would be the most effective interim fix. 7 Packet Pg. 93
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
These residents have agreed to provide the City with the needed storm drain easement. This fix was shown in the study to help mitigate flooding during 50-year storm events. Due to the slopes and utilities in the area, this is the most robust storm system that can be constructed in the location. The system would help mitigate current flooding, however, as previously discussed, any large rain event that exceeds the capacity of a storm system can still cause flooding in an area. Because this area of Anza/Arguello is a low spot in the City, flooding may continue to occur for events that exceed the capacity of any size system the City constructs.
Based on recent potholing of the gas lines, the design has been updated to allow for 2-12” lines to run down Anza to allow the storm drainpipes to avoid the PG&E gas lines that run along the street.
Carollo Engineers was the contracted consultant to the City of Pacifica to develop the City’s 2022 Storm Drain Master Plan and completed the Anza/Arguello storm drain design alternative study that identified four design alternatives (including the one the City is moving forward) for the interim system. Because of this, Carollo is the most qualified to complete this design work and using Carollo will minimize costs due to the amount of engineering work they have already completed related to the interim design options and the City’s 2022 Storm Drain Master Plan.
Time is of essence for the project due to the upcoming winter storm season and the City Manager is recommending approval of a resolution and entering into a Master Agreement and Task Order #1 with Carollo Engineers for $63,944 for design of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain Project; and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents related to the Agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose not to approve the Agreement with Carollo Engineers, however, doing so would delay project delivery and increase the chance of flooding in the Anza/Arguello area.
The City Manager does not recommend this alternate action.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of the Agreement is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Improve and steward City Infrastructure, streets, and facilities: Design of the interim storm drain system will improve the storm drain system in the area, allowing for a redundant system to drain excess stormwater.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Carollo Engineers completed the study for the storm drain design alternatives on Anza/Arguello for $34,800. Funds for initial study came from Wastewater Fund 18. During the CIP approval process, the Council approved new funding for the design and construction of the Anza/Arguello Interim Storm Drain project.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Amendment No. 1 To Agreement Between the City of Pacifica and Universal Building Services (UBS) For Janitorial Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution to Approve Amendment Number 1 to the agreement with Universal Building Services to provide additional janitorial services at the Pacifica Community Center and Jean E Brink Pool.
STAFF CONTACT:
Bob Palacio; Director PB&R
650 738-7382
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Pacifica has an agreement with Universal Building Services for city-wide janitorial services. Currently, the agreement does not cover weekends at the Pacifica Community Center.
The community center hosts year round Saturday and Sunday rentals. Our rental permits require the event holder to clean up the space post event. However, this does not include mopping, restroom sanitation, restocking, or other janitorial responsibilities. This addendum to the contract will insure that each weekend rental, and our Monday morning senior services programs will arrive to a clean and sanitized facility.
The cost for the service at the community center will be $843 per month which equates to $10,116 per year. These funds will come out of existing PB&R community center contractual services funding.
The Jean E Brink Pool located on the Oceana High School campus is home to the City of Pacifica's 7 day per week robust aquatics program. Programming includes, but is not limited to, adult lap swim, recreational swim, water aerobics classes, swim lessons, water safety courses, swim team rentals, artistic swim organization rentals, water polo, swim meets, and pool parties.
Past practice, which has proven to be unsuccessful on a number of levels, has been to have lifeguard staff clean the facility and restrooms themselves. This is a difficult task considering they are required to be barefoot while on deck, have limited experience in custodial sanitization practices, etc. The result has been a less than clean facility and a lifeguard staff that is working outside of the normal scope of lifeguard duties. Lifeguards will continue to do light as-needed cleaning, restocking etc., however, they will no longer need to work with chemicals, toilets, showers surfaces, sinks, and urinals except for as-needed occasions.
Professional janitorial services will include:
• Clean and shower walls and fixtures with tile shower disinfectant cleaner • Wipe down other tile walls as needed
• Clean toilets, urinals, sinks with disinfectant cleaner 8 Packet Pg. 131
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
• Empty trash receptacles
• Restock dispensers (supplies invoiced separately)
• Clean mirrors
• Clean ceiling vents
• Wipe down doors/frames
• Mop all floors
The cost of this new 7 day per week janitorial service at Jean E Brink Pool will be $2199 per month which equates to $26,388 per year. These funds will come from existing aquatics funds.
It is important to note that the JUHSD also uses the facility on a seasonal basis during the day.
The school district does provide custodial support to their programs. However, the City of Pacifica is the primary user of the facility and as such creates the largest need for custodial services at the facility.
The need for professional cleaning services at the Jean E Brink pool has been advocated by individual pool users, rental groups, and staff. This service will provide a much improved aquatics experience for all users of the facility.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council disapproves of the addendum and directs staff to find alternative solutions.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Goal 2: Improve and steward City infrastructure, streets, and facilities FISCAL IMPACT:
$843 per month of existing funds from PB&R account 01.800805.52800 AND $2199 per month of existing funds from PB&R account 01.800869.52700 This will increase Section 3 of the existing agreements monthly "not to exceed amount" from $18,563 to the "new not to exceed" amount of $21,605 per month for the duration of the existing agreement

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
10/9/2023
1 SUBJECT:
Resolution to Approve a One-Time Donation to CORA (Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse) and Amend the FY 2023-24 Budget to Appropriate the Funds RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt the attached resolution to approve a one-time donation of $10,000 to CORA (Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse) for SPEAK UP, a County-wide education and training pilot program in the City of Pacifica and amend the FY 2023-24 General Fund Budget to appropriate the funds.
2. Direct the City Manager to develop a process for City Council annual consideration of non-profit donations during the annual budget development process, and return to City Council to consider the process in late winter/early spring 2024 prior to FY2024-25 budget development.

BACKGROUND:
CORA is the only agency in San Mateo County solely dedicated to helping those affected by intimate partner abuse. CORA receives over 12,000 requests for services each year. CORA offers a range of programs and services, including:
1. 24-Hour, Multilingual Crisis Hotline which provides trained crisis counselors who assist with crisis intervention, safety planning, emotional support, access to emergency safe houses, and community referrals.
2. Emergency Response Program which is a partnership with all of San Mateo County’s law enforcement agencies to increase victim safety and help responding officers connect survivors with counselors.
3. Housing and Advocacy Program which operates the only safe houses in San Mateo County and can provide survivors with safe housing solutions and subsidies.
4. Family-Centered Adult and Child Mental Health Services which provides multi-lingual individual and family therapy.
5. Legal Services which operate a free Legal Line and provides legal advice, information, and referrals to community resources.
As a 501(c) (3) charitable, nonprofit organization, CORA’s revenue comes from government grants (71%), foundations (14%), and individual donations (13%). 9 Packet Pg. 174
Pacifica City Council 2
October 09, 2023
Following the tragic murder of a young wife and mother in September of 2022, CORA and the City of San Carlos launched a pilot program called SPEAK UP. The goal of the SPEAK UP Program is to provide a broad range of local businesses with the training and tools to identify the signs of domestic violence and strategies to support their clients in a safe and helpful way.
The Speak Up Program Pilot is rooted in the belief that when the community is informed and empowered to offer help, it is better prepared to reduce violence. The City of San Carlos has worked with CORA to devise a strategy to share the training with other cities in San Mateo County.
DISCUSSION
From July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, the Pacifica Police Department responded to 224 domestic disputes resulting in 74 acts of reported domestic violence and 47 violations of domestic violence restraining orders. Often, incidents of domestic violence go unreported. The SPEAK UP Program would increase awareness about the indicators of domestic violence and empower community members to take constructive action to help reduce these incidents from occurring.
By signing on to be a SPEAK UP partner, the City of Pacifica will receive:
• 270 - 300 outreach touches (outreach to business and community partners including a collection of resource materials)
• 60 presentations, each 15 minutes long, offered in person or on zoom, with language access provided by CORA as needed
• Certificates to post that show the business or organization receiving the training is a part of SPEAK UP
• Two City employee presentations
• Acknowledgement of the City of Pacifica’s partnership on the CORA website, and the City of Pacifica will be named in public service announcements for County-wide messaging during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) in October.
SPEAK UP is offered as a 3-month pilot program and efficacy will be evaluated by CORA. If the program is deemed successful and well-received by those receiving the training, the program may be continued in the future. However, the $10,000 contribution is for the pilot program, and the City will have the opportunity to renew participation.
It should be noted that the City has separately allocated $6400 per year to CORA for fiscal year 2023-24. This fee was agreed upon in an MOU with the San Mateo County Police Chiefs and Sheriff Association. This funding supports emergency shelter for City of Pacifica residents who have experienced domestic violence. The emergency shelter program and funding are separate from what SPEAK UP offers.
The Council’s consideration of this one-time donation also raises the important topic of how and when the City Council should be considering annual donations to any non-profits or other organizations. This CORA donation request has come up after the Council adopted the FY2023-24 budget. Typically, many cities utilize the best practice of considering and allocating funding to non-profits or other agencies that provide services to the community during the annual budget development process. Such a process typically entails an application process in which non-profits wanting to request funding would submit their funding request, along with 9 Packet Pg. 175
Pacifica City Council 3

program and performance information and agency financials, and the City Council deliberates about how they’d like to distribute the City’s limited funding for non-profits (an amount to be identified by the Council in the context of the City’s overall revenue constraints).
Therefore, the City Manager recommends the Council direct him to develop a process for City Council annual consideration of non-profit donations during the annual budget development process, and return to City Council to consider the process in late winter/early spring prior to FY2024-25 budget development.
FISCAL IMPACT
This one-time participation in the three-month long SPEAK UP pilot program costs $10,000 and these funds will need to be appropriated from the General Fund unallocated fund balance.
Mayor Bigstyck has individually undertaken an effort to inquire with non-profit organizations in Pacifica who may wish to donate on behalf of the City to help bring the SPEAK UP program to Pacifica. While he has received some interest, no donations are confirmed at this time.
However, he intends to continue to make this request. Staff will record any future donations received for this purpose, and these donation funds will either reduce the City’s net fiscal impact or allow to continue the program beyond the initial pilot timeframe. Any necessary budget adjustments will be made at the mid-year budget review.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council may choose not to approve the resolution approving a one-time $10,000 contribution to the Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse non-profit (CORA) to offer SPEAK UP and provide staff further direction.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of the resolution aligns with the City’s Strategic Planning Goal #5 - Broaden Public Communications and Collaboration.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City’s work to update the Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) component of the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) started in 2009, leading to a 2014 public review draft. However, for various reasons, work on the LCLUP was then placed on hold. The City resumed work on the LCLUP by undertaking a focused sea level rise (SLR) adaptation planning process from 2017-2018, and reengaging with residents and stakeholders through a significant public outreach process in 2019. In February 2020, City Council approved the Certification Draft LCLUP and directed its transmittal to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for certification.
Additional information including the Certification Draft LCLUP document are available on the Project Documents page of the Plan Pacifica website1.
Staff submitted the Certification Draft LCLUP to the CCC in June 2020. Between 2020 and 2022, City and CCC staffs exchanged several rounds of information in response to CCC staff requests. In August 2022, the CCC finally accepted the City’s Certification Draft LCLUP for filing. Acceptance for filing is a procedural requirement that must be achieved prior to 1 Available at https://www.planpacifica.org.

Pacifica City Council 2

scheduling an LCP amendment for hearing by the CCC. There is a 90-working day statutory deadline for action on LCP amendments by the CCC, which in the case of the Certification Draft LCLUP submittal was December 22, 2022. On December 16, 2022, the CCC took action to extend the deadline by one year, as authorized by Public Resources Code section 30517.The CCC’s action extended the deadline to December 22, 2023. Failure to act within the statutory deadline results in an LCP amendment being deemed approved by the CCC.
In late February 2023, the City received notice the CCC would consider the City’s Certification Draft LCLUP at the March 8, 2023 meeting. The CCC staff report for the item included CCC staff’s final recommendation, which included many suggested modifications to the City’s submittal2. The City requested a continuance of the March 8th hearing date to allow an opportunity to review and consider the CCC staff’s recommendations. Since then, City staff has met multiple times with CCC staff to gain a better understanding of the suggested modifications and explore what potential revisions could satisfy CCC staff interests while remaining consistent with Council’s action in February 2020. These staff-to-staff meetings are ongoing and substantial progress has been made on understanding each other’s interests and identifying several potential revisions that the Council may wish to consider at a future meeting and through a community engagement process as described later in this report.
Consistency with the 2040 General Plan
The City Council’s approval of the Certification Draft LCLUP in February 2020 was a significant milestone in the ongoing process to update the City’s two primary land use plans: the LCLUP and General Plan. Following the February 2020 approval of the Certification Draft LCLUP by City Council, work continued to comprehensively update the General Plan. In July 2022, the City Council adopted the 2040 General Plan update, the first comprehensive update to Pacifica’s General Plan in over 40 years. While the broad vision and objectives of the City did not change between the 2020 adoption of the Certification Draft LCLUP and the 2022 adoption of the 2040 General Plan, some of the specific language in the General Plan was modified in the course of the extensive public process leading to adoption.
These modifications have resulted in differences between the Certification Draft LCLUP and the 2040 General Plan. For instance, much of the background and introductory language was changed to reflect updated information, such as the City’s adoption of the 2020 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and new data from other State and Federal agencies. More importantly, some of the policies in the General Plan were also changed to address typos and clarify their intent. Attachment B3 shows the Certification Draft LCLUP redlined with changes to reflect the adopted language in the 2040 General Plan. While most LCLUP chapters have redlines, they are focused in Chapter 2: Land Use and Development, Chapter 3: Public Access and Recreation, and Chapter 4: Environmental and Scenic Resources.
Inconsistencies between the LCLUP that will be ultimately certified by the CCC and the 2040 General Plan could be problematic for future City decision making and action on development permits. For example, many development permit findings require the City to determine a project is consistent with both the General Plan and the certified LCP, which includes the LCLUP.
Deviations between provisions in the 2040 General Plan and LCLUP could complicate findings of consistency. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council consider resubmittal to the CCC 2 Available under Agenda Item No. 14.a for the meeting on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at https://www.coastal.ca.gov/meetings/agenda/#/2023/3.

As a result, figures have been omitted throughout the document and the layout will appear differently from the City Council approved Certification Draft LCLUP. Figures are included at the end of the document. No changes to figures are proposed.

of a revised LCLUP to reflect updates to common subject matter between the Certification Draft LCLUP and 2040 General Plan.
Submittal of Revised Certification Draft LCLUP to the California Coastal Commission Since the 2040 General Plan was adopted after the submittal of the Certification Draft LCLUP, the City will need to submit an LCP amendment application to the CCC in order to achieve consistency between the 2040 General Plan and the LCLUP. One option, recommended by staff, is to submit the LCP amendment application at this time, prior to final action by the CCC.
An alternative option, not recommended by staff, is to submit a new LCP amendment application following final CCC action. In the case of staff’s recommended option, formal action by the City Council is required to revise the submittal directed in City Council Resolution No. 15- 2020 (Attachment C4).
Staff recommends that the City submit a revised Certification Draft LCLUP that incorporates the 2040 General Plan with the Certification Draft LCLUP (“Revised Certification Draft LCLUP”).
The Revised Certification Draft LCLUP changes are identified in the redlined document included as Attachment B. Taking the opportunity to update the pending LCLUP amendment application now, prior to CCC certification, would be most efficient in terms of time and staff resources. CCC staff concurs with the approach identified by City staff.
Submission of the Revised Certification Draft LCLUP would have the additional benefit of eliminating the December 22, 2023 deadline. This additional time would allow for staff-to-staff discussions about potential revisions to the LCLUP to address the CCC staff suggested modifications from March 2023. Any revisions that may result from these ongoing staff-to-staff discussions would eventually be presented to the City Council for consideration and authorization of a comment letter to formally request consideration by the CCC ahead of an LCLUP certification public hearing by the CCC. Based on discussions of this approach with CCC staff, City staff does not believe that submittal of the Revised Certification Draft LCLUP to incorporate changes for 2040 General Plan consistency will result in significant new CCC staff suggested modifications. The March 8, 2023 CCC staff report contained few suggested modifications to Chapters 2, 3, and 4, and those that were included were generally minor in nature. Thus, staff anticipates a CCC certification hearing on the revised application would occur no later than June 2024.
Without the resubmission recommended by staff, it is unlikely that policy differences between the February 2020 Certification Draft LCLUP and March 2023 CCC staff suggested modifications could be resolved prior to the existing deadline for CCC action on December 22, 2023. Furthermore, internal CCC staff deadlines require any City comment letter to be submitted by early November 2023, which would not provide sufficient time to undertake the community engagement process described in the section below. The end result of proceeding without resubmittal as recommended by staff is likely to be CCC certification as indicated in the March 8, 2023 CCC staff suggested modifications. It is unclear whether City Council would accept the LCLUP as modified by the CCC, which could terminate the LCLUP submittal process without a certified LCLUP in place after more than three years of effort by the City subsequent to City Council approval.
Community Engagement Plan
There continues to be significant community interest in the LCLUP update process. The last substantive discussions about the LCLUP update facilitated by the City occurred in the lead up 4 Attachment C omits the exhibits to Resolution No. 15-2020.

to the February 2020 Certification Draft LCLUP approval by City Council. Now that CCC staff has released its suggested modifications that were intended for the March 8, 2023 CCC certification hearing, there is an opportunity for a productive community conversation on how the City should proceed with the LCLUP certification process.
The City Manager recommends, for Council consideration, an appropriate community engagement strategy to update the public on where the LCLUP update process stands, and to discuss where it should go next. The City Manager recommends a three meeting approach consisting of one City Council study session, one community engagement meeting, and one City Council consideration item as outlined below:
• Meeting #1: City Council Study Session
o Purpose: The first meeting would be a City Council study session to present and discuss the CCC staff suggested modifications from March 8, 2023. o Timing: Late October/early November 2023
• Meeting #2: Community Roundtable Discussions
o Purpose: The second meeting would be a community roundtable format and would allow the public an opportunity to discuss potential alternative modifications to those presented by CCC staff for the March 8, 2023 CCC meeting. The potential alternatives would reflect the discussions between City and CCC staffs that started in June 2023 and would serve as the basis for a comment letter to be considered by City Council at Meeting #3. o Facilitation: Due to the complexity of the subject matter proposed to be discussed at this community meeting, the City Manager recommends engagement of a professional facilitation service. A professional facilitation service would bring trained facilitators to support the small-group community conversations of proposed alternative modifications to the LCLUP. Professional facilitation will be essential to ensure a diverse range of viewpoints can be expressed which will provide the best feedback for City Council consideration. o Timing: Late November/early December 2023, coordinated to avoid any scheduled Beach Boulevard Infrastructure Resiliency Project (BBIRP) community meetings.
• Meeting #3: City Council Consideration of a Comment Letter to CCC o Purpose: The third meeting would be a City Council consideration item to discuss a potential comment letter from the City requesting revisions to the CCC staff's March 2023 suggested modifications. Transmittal of this comment letter would need to be sufficiently in advance of a CCC certification hearing on the Revised Certification Draft LCLUP to allow time for CCC staff to analyze the City’s requests and publish a staff recommendation. Staff recommends transmitting the comment letter at least two months prior to a desired CCC certification hearing.
o Timing: Mid- to late-January 2024
If the City Council is interested in revisions to or refinement of the above-outlined community engagement process, the City Manager recommends that any revisions continue to allow completion of the process by end of February 2024, and that any revisions bear in mind the numerous other Strategic Plan priorities the City is undertaking in this same timeframe.
Continuation of the community engagement process beyond February 2024 may cause a CCC certification hearing to occur later than June 2024.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose to not incorporate the 2040 General Plan revisions into a revised LCLUP submittal to the CCC. In order to meet the statuary deadline of December 22, 2023, the CCC will likely take action based on the CCC staff’s suggested modifications from March 8, 2023. In such a scenario, the City would have six months to adopt the certified LCLUP with CCC-approved modifications. If the City failed to do so, the LCLUP would be null and void, requiring the City to resubmit, and leaving the City without a certified LCLUP after more than three years since City Council approval of the Certification Draft LCLUP.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
The Local Coastal Land Use Plan is consistent with the following item(s) in the Council-adopted Strategic Plan and Priority Work Plan for FY 2023-24:
● Goal 4: Pursue climate change adaptation and mitigation. ○ Strategy C: Update Pacifica’s Local Coastal Plan and improve communications and collaboration with the California Coastal Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff’s ongoing work toward LCLUP certification can be accomplished within regular Planning Department operations and does not require an additional appropriation at this time.
The community engagement process directed by City Council may have a direct fiscal impact (to be determined). Community meetings have a direct cost of at least $3,000-5,000 inclusive of meeting supplies and other logistics, including food/refreshments for attendees. Utilization of professional facilitators would result in additional expenses, estimated at several thousand dollars per meeting. The City Manager’s recommended community engagement process would include one community meeting.

The Pacifica 2040 Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) is a policy document for the long-range development of the portion of the City of Pacifica within the Coastal Zone. The Coastal Zone includes all land west of State Route 1, as well as Shelldance Nursery and some land south of City limits (see Figure 1-1, City of Pacifica and Coastal Zone). The LCLUP is an essential component of the City’s Local Coastal Program as required by the California Coastal Act. The LCLUP has been developed in tandem with the General Plan, which provides the direction for the future growth of the City, and articulates a vision of what Pacifica aspires to be.

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE LOCAL COASTAL LAND USE PLAN
The California Coastal Act requires every city and county lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone to prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP). The LCP consists of two parts: a local Local coastal Coastal land Land use Use plan Plan (LCLUP)or plans, which specify specifies the intended uses of land within the Coastal Zone; and, an implementation plan comprised of the zoning ordinances; zoning district maps; and other actions which taken together implement the local coastal land use plan and Coastal Act provisions.
These provisions seek to ensure that public access to and along the shoreline is maintained; that water quality, marine life, and environmentally sensitive habitat areas are protected; and that coastal visual resources and special communities are preserved. The Coastal Act establishes calls for certain land use prioritiesuses within the Coastal Zone to have priority over other uses: recreation and visitor-serving uses, fishing, boating, and other coastal-dependent uses, and public works and industrial facilities needed to support priority uses. Other resource-based uses are also prioritized by the Coastal Act.
The Coastal Act is implemented through a partnership between the California Coastal Commission and local counties and cities, including Pacifica. By certifying an LCP, the Coastal Commission grants authority to the local jurisdiction to issue coastal development permits that are required for nearly all types of development1in the Coastal Zone. The LCLUP is the first and primary element of the City’s LCP. The LCLUP is consistent with the Coastal Act and will serve as the standard of review for the City to update its zoning code and any other implementing tools needed in the Coastal Zone, and apply to the Coastal Commission for recertification of the LCP.
The City of Pacifica’s previous LCLUP was certified in March 1980, and included two areas of deferred certification: Shelldance Nursery and the Quarry Site. The Coastal Commission retained permit-issuing authority in these deferred certification areas during the term of the prior LCLUP. The City has obtained certification of the Shelldance Nursery and Quarry Site in this LCLUP. The City’s certified Implementation Plan dates to June 1994.
Why Update Now?
The City of Pacifica last comprehensively updated its General Plan and LCLUP in 1980. In the nearly more than 40 years since then, many of its goals have been carried out, including a zoning codeZoning Ordinance with regulations to protect slopes and preserve open space, and the revitalization of the Rockaway Beach area. Many issues facing Pacifica are enduring but the legal environment governing land use, environmental preservation, housing, climate change adaptation and resiliency, and other planning issues has changed. New priorities have emerged with a new generation of Pacifica residents and stakeholders. The General Plan and LCLUP update will providehas provided for a comprehensive assessment of current conditions, and it allows today’s residents to express a vision for the future.

1.2 PLANNING CONTEXT
Regional Location
Pacifica is within the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose metropolitan area, and at its northern end is just 10 miles from downtown San Francisco. The cities of Daly City, South San Francisco, and San Bruno border the City on the north and east, and include urban development up to the City’s borders. Much of the land to the southeast and south is preserved as units of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, State and County parks, and the San Francisco watershed, and rural and agricultural land is prevalent to the south. The Pacific Ocean borders Pacifica to the west. Access to Pacifica is primarily via State RouteHighway 1 (SR 1, or Coast Highway) and State Route 35 (SR 35, or Skyline Boulevard).
Historic Development
Pacifica remained a mainly agricultural and undeveloped area untilPacifica’s earliest development occurred with the construction of the Ocean Shore Railroad in 1905, stimulated developmentsubdivided and developed a series of small, coastside communities, including Edgemar, Salada Beach, Brighton Beach, Vallemar, Sharp Park, Pedro PointRockaway Beach, and Rockaway BeachTobin (San Pedro Terrace-by-theSea). These communitiesneighborhoods, together with Pacific Manor, Westview, Fairway Park, and Linda Mar incorporated in 1957 as the City of Pacifica. The City grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and most of its current housing-56 percent as of 2020-was built during those decades. Growth slowed in the 1970s, and then slowed further in the following decades, owing to the scarcity of developable land and infrastructure constraints. About 540 housing units have been built over the last 20 years, along with a limited amount of commercial development.
The Coastal Zone
Land within Pacifica west of State Route 1, as well as the Shelldance Nursery property located east of SR 1 and some additional land east of SR 1 south of City limits, is part of the Coastal Zone, subject to Pacifica’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan and the policies of the California Coastal Act. Pacifica’s Coastal Zone comprises approximately 1,286 acres of land, or about 15 percent of the Planning Area. It includes a high proportion of the City’s commercial land and visitor destinations. The Pacifica Planning Area boundary, Coastal Zone boundary, and City limits are shown in Figure 1-1.
Pacifica's Coastal ZoneThese coastal sub-areas represent geographical areas with varied types of development, contains a wide variety of land uses, including public recreation areas, distinct residential neighborhoods, visitor-serving and neighborhood commercial development, and highly sensitive wildlife and vegetative habitats. The varied types of development of each coastal sub-area and the geographic relationships between them are an inherent and vital part of the character of the City. The General Plan and LCLUP strive to designate land uses and intensities suitable to the unique circumstances of each coastal area, adequately meet the needs of the City's residents and visitors, and be consistent with State Coastal Act policies.

1.3 LOCAL COASTAL LAND USE PLAN REQUIREMENTS
Local Coastal Programs
The California Coastal Act of 1976 gave the California Coastal Commission broad authority to ensure that development along the coastline would protect and enhance coastal resources. The Commission carries out this responsibility in partnership with local governments, through the development and certification of LCPs.
California Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 30000 et seq. establish the State’s coastal management policies and the procedures for preparation, approval, and certification of LCPs.
In 2015, Governor Brown put into effect two regulatory requirements regarding climate change. These include Senate Bill 379, which requires local agencies to address climate adaptation and resiliency strategies in long range planning documents; and Governor’s Executive Order No B-30-15, which directs state agencies to factor climate change into planning decisions. This order has been promulgated by the Coastal Commission to include climate adaptation into LCPs.
In 2016, Governor Brown also signed into law Assembly Bill 2616 (AB 2616), amending the Coastal Act to give the Coastal Commission authority to specifically consider environmental justice when making permit decisions. This legislation also cross-references existing nondiscrimination and civil rights law in the Government Code and requires the Governor to appoint an environmental justice Commissioner.
Local Coastal Land Use Plan
To meet the requirements of State law, the LCLUP must comply with the requirements of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (Section 30512.2 of the PRC), and also be “sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, location, and intensity of land uses, the applicable resource protection and development policies, and, where necessary, a listing of implementing actions.” (Section 30108.5 of the PRC). During all phases of the LCLUP’s development, the public as well as affected agencies must be provided with extensive opportunities to participate (Section 30503 of the PRC). In the case of the Pacifica General Plan and LCLUP update, the planning process, including public participation, is detailed in Section 1.1 of the General Plan.
Implementation Plan
The implementation component of the LCP comprises the zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and other implementing actions within the Coastal Zonewhich taken together implement the local coastal land use plan and Coastal Act provisions. These are typically referred to together as the Implementation Plan (IP).
The LCLUP and IP work in tandem to implement Coastal Act provisions.
1.4 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS AND REGULATIONS
The Local Coastal Land Use Plan and the General Plan
The General Plan and LCLUP updates have been conducted in tandem. While they are two separate documents, much of the descriptive text and many of the policies are overlapping. Policies that are included in both the General Plan and the LCLUP are marked with a in the General Plan.

Much of the background text is also the same in both documents. Detailed discussion of Coastal Act requirements and goals is included only in the LCLUP, while issues that are not relevant to Coastal Act requirements and goals are covered only in the General Plan. The term “Planning Area” is used to refer to the General Plan’s Planning Area, while the term “Coastal Zone” is used to refer to the area subject to the LCLUP. Each plan has a different organizational structure, to match its purpose. Plan organization is covered in Section 1.5. One environmental impact report (EIR) describes the expected environmental impacts of both plans.
Plan Bay Area
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), and Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) have adopted the “Plan Bay Area in 2013.” which serves as the SCS for the region. An update, Plan Bay Area 2040, was adopted in 2017 and forecasts transportation needs through the year 2040. Plan Bay Area 2050 will focus on four key issues—the economy, the environment, housing and transportation—and will identify a path to make the Bay Area more equitable for all residents and more resilient in the face of unexpected challenges. MTC and ABAG adopted Plan Bay Area 2050 in October 2021.
This Plan will be the San Francisco Bay Area’s Regional Transportation Plan, and will satisfy the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) requirement established by Senate Bill 375, which will demonstrate how the region will meet greenhouse gas emission targets. The effort is focused on bringing together transportation, land use, and housing policies at the regional scale to support greenhouse gas emissions reduction while ensuring mobility. Regional priorities for transportation investments will influence Pacifica’s future circulation system.
Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan
A consortium of State and federal agencies, including the California Department of Natural Resources and the US Army Corps of Engineers, is organizing a series of Regional Sediment Management (RSM) plans. The primary focus is on facilitating the movement of excess clean sand to areas experiencing high levels of erosion. Goals include restoring and preserving beaches; sustaining recreation; enhancing public safety; and restoring coastal habitats. The San Francisco Littoral Cell Coastal RSM Plan is currently being developed for the coastline between the Golden Gate and Pedro Point Headlands. The Plan’s purpose is to assist communities by providing information for decision-makers and offering recommendations specific to the coastlines of San Francisco, Daly City and Pacifica. The Pacifica General Plan and Local Coastal Land Use Plan may provide a vehicle for enacting RSM recommendations.

Policy Structure
Each chapter of the Plan includes background information to establish the context for policies in the chapter.
This background information is followed by two sets of policies, which together articulate a vision for Pacifica’s Coastal Zone that the Plan seeks to achieve:

• Guiding Policies are the City’s statements of its goals and philosophiesy. • Implementing Policies represent commitments to specific actions. They may refer to existing programs or call for establishment of new ones.
Policies provide guidance for development review, infrastructure planning, community facilities and services, and protection for the city’s resources, by establishing planning requirements, programs, standards, and criteria for project review. Explanatory material or commentary in italics accompanies some policies to provide further clarification of their application to particular sites or situations. The use of “should” or “would” indicates that a statement is strongly recommended but not mandatory; details will need to be resolved in LCP implementation. The use of “shall” or “must” indicates that a statement is mandatory.
Where the same topic is addressed in more than one chapter, sections and policies are cross-referenced.
Maps, Diagrams and Land Use Classifications
The maps and diagrams in the LCLUP illustrate a number of policies relating to land use, coastal access, circulation, environmental and scenic resources, and hazards. These maps and diagrams, and in particular the Land Use Diagram in Chapter 2, are important parts of the plan that contain information not presented anywhere else. All maps, diagrams, and figures are adopted parts of the Plan; however, their use is subject to any disclaimers or limitations set forth on the maps or elsewhere in this LCLUP.
The maps and diagrams included in the LCLUP reflect the best available information at a programmatic, or city-wide, level2. Maps and diagrams including biological resources such as special status species, wetlands, and streams, indicate areas where the presence of these resources are most likely to occur. However, additional information regarding such resources will become available through site-specific review of proposed projects, through future map/diagram updates, and through other means. Thus, protection of resources is not limited to those areas that are mapped in this document, and site-specific analyses shall be utilized wherever possible to ensure maximum protection of resources.
Appendix, Glossary and List of Acronyms
Appendix A presents the coastal resources planning and management policies that comprise Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act, or Section 30200 et seq. of the Public Resources Code. The policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act are hereby incorporated by reference into the LCLUP. Chapter 3 organizes these policies in six topical areas, which guide the organization of the LCLUP chapters: Public Access, Recreation, Marine Environment, Land Resources, Development, and Industrial Development.
The Plan concludes with a glossary to define important terms and concepts, and a list of acronyms that may appear in the preceding chapters.

1.6 PLAN ADMINISTRATION
Amendments to the Plan and Periodic Review
The LCLUP is less flexible than a General Plan in that its amendment, even after certification, requires the approval of the Coastal Commission as well as the City. An exception exists for minor amendments and de minimis amendments if approved by the Coastal Commission’s executive director. Any such approval must be reported to the Coastal Commission for concurrence in order to be considered approved and certified.
Although Pacifica's LCLUP and General Plan are integrated, the coastal policies are clearly identified in order to facilitate the amendment process should that be desired in the future. The Coastal Commission periodically reviews certified LCPs to ensure that coastal resources are being effectively protected (Section 30519.5 of the PRC).

2.2 CURRENT LAND USE PATTERN
Background
Before visitation by the Portola expedition in 1769, Pacifica was home to the Costanoans, now known as the Ohlone, who were stewards of the land for thousands of years. Pacifica remained primarily agricultural until after the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906. Land speculators, stimulated by the construction of the Ocean Shore Railroad in 1905, subdivided and developed a series of small coastside communities including Edgemar, Vallemar, and the areas now known as Sharp Park, Pedro Point, and Rockaway Beach. These communities, together with Pacific Manor, Westview, Fairway Park, and Linda Mar incorporated in 1957 as the City of Pacifica. The city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and most of its current housing was built during those decades, primarily east of Highway 1. Growth slowed in the 1970s, and then slowed further in the following decades, owing to the scarcity of developable land and infrastructure constraints. The Pacifica Coastal Zone is described in more detail by land use type in the paragraphs that follow.
Current Land Use Pattern
Parks and Open Space
The Coastal Zone covers 998 acres, not including road rights-of-way. Nearly half (479 acres) of this land is preserved as open space. This includes Mori Point, the Northern Coastal Bluffs, and Pedro Point Headlands, current and likely future parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area; Sharp Park Golf Course; and Pacifica State and Sharp Park Beaches.
Residential
Residential use makes up 21 percent of the Coastal Zone and 69 percent of developed land1in the Coastal Zone, covering 206 acres. Most residential land in Pacifica’s Coastal Zone (70 percent) contains single-family housing, but multi-family housing is the most prevalent housing unit type (57 percent of all housing units) in the Coastal Zone. Multi-family units are interspersed among single-family houses and commercial uses in the West Sharp Park neighborhood and concentrated along the coast in the West Edgemar-Pacific Manor neighborhood. The Coastal Zone also includes Pacifica’s only mobile homes and most of the City’s mixed use development, which account for 2 and 1 percent of housing units in the Coastal Zone, respectively.
Commercial, Industrial, and Mixed Use
The Coastal Zone includes 41 acres of commercial uses. Commercial land is located at Pacific Manor and Pedro Point shopping centers, and in commercial districts at Rockaway Beach, Palmetto Avenue, and Francisco Boulevard. Pacifica has a small amount of mixed-use development, mostly along Palmetto Avenue in West Sharp Park, in Rockaway Beach, and in Pedro Point. Overall, West Sharp Park has the greatest mix of uses throughout the neighborhood. Hotels, along with most visitor-serving commercial uses, are primarily in the Rockaway Beach neighborhood. The Coastal Zone also has a small amount of industrial land (13 acres) located along Palmetto north of the West Sharp Park commercial area.
Public and Institutional Uses
Public, community, and institutional uses occupy 39 acres of land in the Coastal Zone, including Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School; the Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant; City Hall; the Sharp Park branch library; and other public administrative buildings.
1 Developed land includes all land uses except for Open Space, Agriculture, or Vacant/Undeveloped.

Agriculture and Recreation
There are approximately nine acres of land with agricultural-related uses in the Coastal Zone, outside city limits, at Shamrock Ranch along Highway 1.
Undeveloped and Vacant Land
Vacant or undeveloped land covers 206 acres or 20 percent of land in the Coastal Zone. About 29 acres of this land is outside City limits. Undeveloped land is present along the Northern Coastal Bluffs, the Rockaway Quarry site, Rockaway Headlands, and Pedro Point Headlands. Smaller vacant “infill” lots are scattered in neighborhoods. Given environmental factors such as slope and sensitive species, there are constraints on the development potential of many of these sites.

2.3 LAND USE FRAMEWORK
The Land Use Diagram, (Figure 2-3) illustrates the community’s vision for land use in 2040. It reflects the Coastal Act priorities presented in Chapter 1, as well as the planning themes laid out in the General Plan. The land use classifications depicted indicate the use and form of development. New development will be guided by Plan policies and programs for hillside and open space preservation; and in infill housing, commercial, and mixed use development.
Land Use Diagram
The Land Use Diagram is a graphic representation of planned land use classifications; it will be used in conjunction with policies established in the Plan to review and approve, modify or deny proposed development projects. The Land Use Diagram includes a legend that shows land use categories whose densities and allowable uses are specified in the Land Use Classifications section.
Land Use Classifications
Land use classifications establish allowed uses, maximum density and intensity, and the type and character of development that is expected. Details on development standards are established in the Implementation Plan through the zoning ordinance, and more than one zoning district may be consistent with a General Plan/LCLUP land use classification.
According to State law, the General Plan must establish standards of population density and building intensity for each land use classification. The General Plan and LCLUP stipulate residential densities in housing units per gross acre; population density can be obtained by applying average persons per housing unit2to the housing unit densities. For nonresidential uses, the Plan specifies a maximum permitted ratio of gross floor area to site area (Floor Area Ratio or FAR). Recommended density and intensity standards do not imply that development projects must be approved at the maximum intensity specified for each use. Zoning regulations consistent with General Plan policies and/or site conditions may reduce development potential within the stated ranges. Table 2-1 shows gross density standards for residential categories and FAR standards for the other uses.
Residential
Pacifica’s five residential classifications provide for a range of densities, consistent with neighborhood character and planned land use.
TRANSITIONAL OPEN SPACE RESIDENTIAL
In the Transitional Open Space Residential (TOSR) designation, residential and recreation uses are allowed at a gross density of up to one unit per 10 acres (or 0.1 units per gross acre). Existing legal lots less than 10 acres in area shall be allowed to develop one dwelling unit consistent with all other applicable zoning and development standards. The density assumed for buildout calculations is 0.08 units per gross acre.
OPEN SPACE/AGRICULTURE/RESIDENTIAL
In the Open Space/Agriculture/Residential (OSAR) classification, residential, agriculture, and recreation uses are allowed at a gross density of up to one unit per five acres (or 0.2 units per gross acre). Farm worker housing may be permitted on sites zoned for agricultural uses, consistent with State law, and shall not be included in density calculations for a site. The allowable density on a site will be determined by slope, geology, soils, access, 2 Based on 2013-2017 American Community Survey data, the number of persons per total housing units is 2.77.

availability of utilities, public safety, and open space values. The density assumed for buildout calculations is
0.15 units per gross acre.
VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) classification provides for development of 0.2 to 2.0 units per gross acre (or 0.5 to 5.0 acres per dwelling unit). Residential care facilities, schools, and community uses are permitted.
The density assumed for buildout calculations is 1.5 units per gross acre.
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The Low Density Residential (LDR) designation provides for is intended for single-family housing development ranging from three to nine dwelling units per gross acre. Single-family residential is the primary use intended for LDR areas. Residential care facilities, schools, and community uses are permitted. Clusters of small-lot development as well as standard subdivisions will be allowed. Buildout is calculated at 6.5 units per gross acre.
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The Medium Density Residential (MDR) designation is intended for a mix of housing types, including smalllot single-family, attached single-family, apartments, duplexes, townhomes and in mobile home parks at a density range of 10 to 15 units per gross acre. Residential care facilities, schools, and community uses are permitted. Buildout is calculated at 12.5 units per gross acre.
HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The High Density Residential (HDR) designation is intended for multi-family apartments, stacked flats, condominiums and townhomes in multi-story buildings located near shopping areas and transit. The density range will be 16 to 21 dwelling units per gross acre, except that. sSites of 0.5 acres or more in size may develop up to 30 dwelling units per gross acre. For lawful nonconforming sites less than 5,000 square feet in area, the allowable density shall be 10 to 15 units per gross acres. Residential care facilities, schools, and community uses are permitted. Buildout is calculated at 25 units per gross acre.
Mixed Use
The Plan provides three mixed use classifications to create areas where housing and active commercial uses may be integrated. Visitor-oriented commercial uses are allowed as-of-right in all mixed use areas within the Coastal Zone, except hotels in the Coastal Residential Mixed Use designation.
COASTAL RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE
The Coastal Residential Mixed Use (CRMU) designation is intended for sites in the Coastal Zone with residential mixed use development potential, including mixed use with housing and retail, and/or small-scale visitor-oriented commercial uses such as retail, vacation rental, or time-share units. Residential uses are allowed in the same building as commercial uses above the ground floor (vertical mixed use) and in other locations attached to or detached from commercial uses on the same site (horizontal mixed use). Hotels are not permitted.
Coastal access and public open space must also be provided, and environmental resources must be evaluated and protected. Sites may be developed up to an overall density of up to 15 units per gross acre, with clustering and sensitive site planning. Site-specific policies may further define residential densities. Non-residential development may have an FAR up to 0.5 FAR. The total FAR (residential and non-residential) cannot exceed
1.0. Buildout is calculated at 15 units per gross acre and 0.10 FAR of non-residential use.

MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD
In the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) classification, new development may include multi-family housing and building with ground-floor retail, restaurant or service uses and housing or offices. Residential uses are allowed in the same building as commercial uses above the ground floor (vertical mixed use) and in other locations on the same site (horizontal mixed use). Public or community uses and hotels may be permitted at appropriate locations. The MUN classification allows a density range of 16 to 26 units per gross acre and nonresidential development with an FAR up to 1.0 on sites that are 5,000 square feet of area or greater. Sites of
0.5 acres or more in size may develop up to 30 dwelling units per gross acre. For lawful non-conforming sites less than 5,000 square feet in area, the allowable density shall be 10 to 15 units per gross acres and nonresidential development FAR up to 0.5. The total FAR (residential and non-residential) cannot exceed 2.0 on sites with 5,000 square feet of area or greater, and cannot exceed 1.0 on sites with less than 5,000 square feet of area. Buildout is calculated based on a 0.25 FAR for non-residential uses and 25 residential units per gross acre.
MIXED USE CENTER
The Mixed Use Center (MUC) classification is intended for high-density mixed use development, including public or community uses and hotels. Allowable uses include ground-floor retail, restaurant or personal service uses and housing or offices. on upper levels. Ground floor commercial uses must be constructed along the street frontage but are not required on the interior of a site. Residential uses are allowed in the same building as commercial uses above the ground floor (vertical mixed use) and in other locations on the same site (horizontal mixed use). The MUC classification permits housing at a density range of 30 to 50 units per gross acre and a 2.5 FAR of non-residential development, provided the overall FAR does not exceed 2.5. For lawful non-conforming sites less than 5,000 square feet in area, the allowable density shall be 16 to 26 units per gross acres and a non-residential development FAR up to 0.5. Buildout is calculated at an FAR of 0.35 for nonresidential uses and 2532 units per gross acre for housing.

Commercial Uses
The General Plan and LCLUP establish five commercial classifications to accommodate a variety of potential commercial activities. Visitor-oriented commercial uses are allowed as-of-right in all commercial areas within the Coastal Zone.
RETAIL COMMERCIAL
The Retail Commercial (RC) classification is intended for retail, restaurant, and service uses, typically in singleor two-story buildings within shopping centers or on sites in the Highway 1 corridor. New development will be pedestrian-oriented. Offices may be located above the ground floor. The maximum FAR is 1.0. Buildout is calculated with an FAR of 0.25.
OFFICE/COMMERCIAL
The Office/Commercial (OC) classification permits offices as well as retail and service uses, typically in single- or two-story buildings. The maximum FAR is 1.5; buildout is calculated with an FAR of 0.35.
SERVICE COMMERCIAL
The Service Commercial (SC) classification is for industrial and heavy commercial uses, such as auto repair, equipment rental, storage, and materials salvage. The maximum FAR is 0.6; buildout is calculated with an FAR of 0.25.
VISITOR-SERVING COMMERCIAL
The Visitor-Serving Commercial (VC) designation is intended to foster and protect areas that attract and cater to visitors, including hotels or a visitor attraction, such as an interpretive center or conference center, restaurants, retail and services, commercial recreation, or other compatible uses. Larger sites, with developable areas of two acres or larger, shall require a hotel, lower-cost overnight accommodation, or visitor attraction as part of new development. The maximum FAR is 3.0. Buildout is calculated with an FAR of 0.35.
LOW-INTENSITY VISITOR-SERVING COMMERCIAL
The Low-Intensity Visitor-Serving Commercial (LIVC) district allows uses that create public access to the coastal setting and are adaptable to changing environmental conditions: campgrounds, rustic lodging, concession stands, warming huts, outdoor event sites, and similar uses. Existing permitted businesses that do not conform to the description of LIVC may remain until voluntarily redeveloped by the property owner or abandonment of the use has occurred pursuant to the nonconforming use zoning provisions of the Pacifica Municipal Code (cessation of the use for 12 months, under current zoning provisions). In these areas, the designation indicates the long-term goal of transition to recreation-oriented land uses. Development may occur at up to 0.20 FAR, but must have an overall very low-intensity character on sites of more than one acre. Buildout is assumed at 0.05 FAR, recognizing the large land areas and minimal building expected to support recreational uses.
Public and Community Uses
Designations for public uses such as schools, civic buildings, utilities, and public parking areas are designated on the Land Use Diagram, and summarized below. Public park land is covered separately in the following section.

uses, Plan land use classifications shall be updated. If a public school is discontinued, any proposed new use should be compatible with the adjacent neighborhood. The maximum FAR in this district is 1.0. Buildout is assumed at 0.35 FAR.
BEACH AND COMMUTER PARKING
The Beach and Commuter Parking (BCP) designation applies to areas where the priority use is public parking to serve beach visitors and/or transit users. Sites are located adjacent to Pacifica State Beach and at Crespi Drive and Highway 1. Beach parking at the City’s Beach Boulevard property serving Pacifica Pier and Sharp Park should be conserved as part of development of that site.
UTILITIES
The Utilities (U) designation indicates the location of water tanks, communications facilities including wireless communications facilities, and other utilities serving the City. The maximum FAR in this district is 1.0.
Parks and Open Space
Pacifica is defined in large part by its open space system, with extensive land preserved as public open space, or designated for conservation. These categories are detailed below.
PARK
The Park (P) designation is applied to public land either now developed for active recreation use or intended for future recreation development. The designation applies to City parks as well as to park or open space areas whose primary character is undeveloped and natural, or that is managed for use by residents of the larger region and beyond. The City does not have permitting authority on lands owned by other public agencies.
CONSERVATION
The Conservation (C) district takes the place of the Greenbelt district from the previous General Plan. It applies to publicly- or privately-owned open areas not intended for development. Non-structural development, such as trails and viewing areas, is allowed. These areas may include:
• Watershed lands;
• Sandy beach areas;
• Land which is physically unsuitable for development due to geotechnical hazards, excessive steepness, wetlands, ESHA, or other environmental constraints, or lies within stream channels; • Areas to remain undeveloped as a result of density transfer or clustered development, or covered by open space, recreational or scenic easements;
• Open areas providing a physical and visual buffer between developed or open areas; and • Open space required as mitigation for environmental impacts.
Urban Reserve
The Urban Reserve (UR) designation is created to apply to private lands outside of City limits but within the Planning Area. The City does not have permitting authority in this area. The Pacifica General Plan and LCLUP intends for agriculture and residential development with a minimum site area of 105 acres per dwelling unit to be the predominant uses on land designated Urban Reserve. Existing legal lots less than 10 acres in area shall

be allowed to develop one dwelling unit maximum, consistent with all other applicable zoning and development standards.
Sites within the Urban Reserve land use designation that are annexed into the City of Pacifica should receive a land use designation consistent with the applicable density prior to annexation. Actual density may be limited by the physical conditions of a site such as geological hazards, access, and potential habitat. For sites larger than 50 acres, the City should work with San Mateo County to ensure that subdivision and development be considered in the context of a Plan Update.

Coastal Development Review
The LCLUP aims to ensure that the goals of the California Coastal Act are furthered by land use actions and policies that affect land within the Coastal Zone as defined by the California Coastal Commission.
The City’s zoning code features a Coastal Zone (CZ) Combining District, with development regulations based on Coastal Act goals. These include the provision of public access to the shoreline and recreational opportunities, the protection and enhancement of the coastal environment, and the prioritization of coastaldependent and visitor-serving uses. The Coastal Zone requirements supplement the underlying zoning regulations on all property subject to the LCLUP. and new development must obtain a coastal development permit on all property subject to the LCLUP.
Pursuant to the Coastal Act, certain categories of development are exempt from coastal development permit requirements. These exemptions are generally set forth in Section 30610 of the PRC and Sections 13252, 13252, and 13250 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR)
Policies
Implementing Policies
LD-I-1 Zoning Consistency. Update the Zoning Ordinance and zoning map and apply zoning to all land within the City, consistent with General Plan and LCLUP policies and land use designations.
LD-I-2 Land Divisions in the Coastal Zone. Continue to require coastal development permits for all land divisions within the Coastal Zone. Land divisions in the Coastal Zone shall be:
• Designed to minimize impacts to public access, recreation, and coastal resources. • Designed to minimize site disturbance, landform alteration, and the removal of native vegetation for development or fire safety.
• Prohibited on properties that include any areas that are within or adjacent to an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) unless the resulting parcels can be developed without building or requiring vegetation clearance in the ESHA or ESHA buffer, or are set aside for conservation., or unless the resulting parcels can be developed consistent with policies protecting sensitive habitats including but not limited to a prohibition on building or requiring vegetation clearance in the ESHA or ESHA buffer.
• Permitted only in areas with adequate public services to serve development on the resulting parcels.
• Any land division that would result in a parcel that could not be developed in accordance with the policies of this LCLUP is not allowed.
LD-I-3 Coastal Development Permit Findings. For all development that requires a coastal development permit, continue to require written findings that it is consistent with all LCLUP policies and Implementation Plan provisions of the City’s certified Local Coastal Program.
If there is a conflict between a provision of this LCP and a provision of the General Plan, or any other Cityadopted plan, resolution, or ordinance not included in the LCP, and it is not possible for the development to

comply with both the LCP and such other plan, resolution or ordinance, the LCP shall take precedence and the development shall not be approved unless it complies with the LCP provision.
LD-I-4 Coordinate with the County to protect the Urban Reserve. Coordinate with the County to ensure that new development in unincorporated areas occurs at a maximum density of 10 five acres per unit, and request that subdivision of 50 acres or more is subject to master planning and annexation as a condition of any urban development.
A General Plan amendment also will be required, and a LCLUP amendment will be required for land within the Coastal Zone.
2.4 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
Concentrated Development
The Coastal Act seeks to concentrate new development along the coast in already-developed areas and areas where it will not adversely affect coastal resources (Section 30250). Pacifica’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan reinforces the clear distinctions between areas of preserved open space (nearly 50 percent of the Planning Area) and established neighborhoods. It seeks to ensure that sensitive coastal open spaces on the Northern Coastal Bluffs and Pedro Point Headlands are preserved and enhanced, while promoting new development in and directly adjacent to the Rockaway Beach and West Sharp Park districts, and make these areas more commercially vibrant and transit-supportive, as described in Section 30252. These efforts are clearly defined in policies of this section as well as policies for each sub-area detailed in Section 3.3.
Coastal-Dependent, Visitor-Serving and Recreational Development Section 30255 of the Coastal Act states that “coastal-dependent developments shall have priority over other developments on or near the shoreline.” Lower-cost visitor and recreation facilities (Section 30213); recreational uses and development (Section 30221); and coastal-dependent industry (Section 30260) are specifically called out. Section 30222 provides that “the use of private lands suitable for visitor-serving commercial recreational facilities designed to enhance public opportunities for coastal recreation shall have priority over private residential, general industrial, or general commercial development.” San Francisco and San Mateo Counties are major tourist destinations, attracting domestic as well as international travelers. The nine-county Bay Area region accounts for almost 30 percent of the visitor-generated tax receipts in California. Located along scenic Highway 1, south of San Francisco, Pacifica enjoys exposure to a number of visitors to the County’s coast, State parks, and other attractions. Pacifica itself has a wealth of public park land and amenities along the coastline, including Pacifica State Beach and the Pacifica Pier at Sharp Park Beach.
The current demand for hotel rooms in Pacifica is served by six moderately-priced hotels with a total of 282 rooms. A majority of these hotels are clustered around Rockaway Beach. Pacifica is also home to the San Francisco RV Park. These accommodations are shown on the Existing Land Use map, Figure 2-2. The General Plan provides a tourism-related economic development strategy that will help Pacifica to better leverage its coastal location and other physical and cultural amenities, and a land use plan that emphasizes visitor-oriented commercial development.
In the Visitor-Serving Commercial (VC) designation, for larger sites (with developable areas of two acres or larger), a hotel, lower-cost overnight accommodation, or visitor attraction is a required part of new
10.b
Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: Attachment B - Revised Certification Draft LCLUP (Redlines) (5490 : Process Update on Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) CHAPTER 2: LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
2-15
development. Development on large sites may also include restaurants, retail and services, commercial recreation, or other compatible uses. New inns, resorts, or other overnight lodging should enliven the Rockaway Beach district and provide a basis for integration with any new development which may ultimately be approved on the Quarry site. Such uses can enhance the public’s enjoyment of the coastal setting.
The extensive public lands in Pacifica’s Coastal Zone and the recreation opportunities they afford are protected with Park and Conservation designations. The LIVC district allows uses that create public access to the natural setting and are adaptable to changing environmental conditions. Low-intensity visitor-serving development along northern Palmetto would add new ways of enjoying the coast. Potential uses with a low development impact and which are readily relocated to adapt to evolving coastal conditions, such as rustic lodging or “hikers' huts,” could occur on the Rockaway Headlands and enrich the recreational appeal of both Pacifica State Beach and Rockaway Beach for visitors.
Energy Facilities and Coastal Dependent Industries
Pacifica does not currently contain any coastal-dependent industry or energy facilities, and the Plan does not accommodate the new development of these uses. The types of industries that are the subject of Coastal Act policies—tanker facilities, oil and gas development, refineries, and thermal electric generating plants—are not foreseen to be feasible or appropriate. However, in keeping with the Coastal Act, new coastal-dependent industries may be permitted in the Coastal Zone under specific conditions, as outlined in the policies below.
Sub-Areas and Specific Sites
Pacifica's Coastal Zone extends from the eastern edge of Highway 1 to the Pacific Ocean. The Coastal Zone features a wide variety of land uses, including public recreation areas, distinct residential neighborhoods, visitorserving and neighborhood commercial development, and sensitive wildlife habitats. The varied types of development of each coastal sub-area and the geographic relationships between them are an inherent and vital part of the character of the City. The LCLUP strives to designate land uses and intensities suitable to the unique circumstances of each coastal area, adequately meet the needs of the City's residents and visitors, and be consistent with State Coastal Act policies.
Figure 2-4 shows seven sub-areas. Sub-areas may be referred to as neighborhoods at times. The “sub-area” designation is not intended to correspond with any jurisdictional boundaries, but to help readers understand the way the LCLUP affects Pacifica’s distinct geographic areas. Figure 2-4 also identifies specific sites that are the subject of Plan policies. This chapter contains land use policies for specific sites. In many cases, site-specific policies touch on a range of issues, including biological resources and natural hazards.
Figure 2-4 also serves as a key map for the three maps that follow, showing these sub-areas and specific sites at a larger scale. These maps show LCLUP land use at the parcel level, as well as coastal access points; park opportunity sites; coastal view corridors; trails and proposed trail improvements. The sub-area maps and the sub-area descriptions below are intended to demonstrate how various aspects of the Plan—including land use, parks and recreation facilities, coastal access, and environmental resources and hazards—work together in the more localized context. The maps do not show different information than is contained in other LCLUP maps.

Northern Pacifica Coastal Zone
Figure 2-5 covers the Coastal Zone north of Sharp Park, including Fairmont West; West Edgemar-Pacific Manor; and West Sharp Park. This area includes Palmetto Avenue, the Pacifica Pier and Promenade, the Pacific Manor shopping area, and the northern coastal bluffs.
FAIRMONT WEST
Fairmont West is a small residential area in northwestern Pacifica between Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean, extending from Daly City along the Northern Coastal Bluffs. It is separated from inland neighborhoods by the highway and a significant grade change. Fairmont West is composed mainly of single-family houses, with a condominium development and a neighborhood park. Palmetto Avenue is Fairmont West’s principal roadway, and provides open views of the Pacific Ocean. The National Park Service owns approximately 14 acres of land on the northern coastal bluffs along the west side of Palmetto Avenue as part of the GGNRA.
Given the extraordinary natural and scenic value, the interest of public access, and the potential erosion hazards, undeveloped land on the northern coastal bluffs is designated Open Space/Agriculture/Residential, and identified as a priority for permanent conservation. Sensitive, clustered development could occur on the east side of Palmetto.
GGNRA plans to continue to manage its land along the northern coastal bluffs as a “natural zone” emphasizing protection of habitat and natural coastal processes. No formal beach access exists or is planned. Undeveloped land west of Palmetto Avenue contains areas of Coastal bluff scrub, which is considered a special status community of high value, important for stabilizing sand dunes. The entire bluff-top area is currently undeveloped and offers an open, highly scenic view of the entire length of Pacifica's coastline.
WEST EDGEMAR-PACIFIC MANOR
West Edgemar-Pacific Manor is an established coastal neighborhood extending from north of the Oceanaire Apartments (formerly Land’s End Apartments) to south of the San Francisco RV Park between Highway 1 and the ocean. The area is centered on the Pacific Manor shopping center. Multi-family development accounts for over 90 percent of the area’s approximately 870 housing units. West Edgemar-Pacific Manor’s residential areas have the highest density in Pacifica.
As envisioned by the Plan, redevelopment and/or shopping center improvements will enhance the area’s walkability, help integrate the commercial center with its coastal setting, and improve the area’s visual appeal.
The City-owned bluff-top land along the west side of Esplanade Avenue may present an opportunity to develop a small park, if this can be done without aggravating slope instability. Esplanade Avenue is also identified as a future bluff-top coastal access point, which may be achieved by redesigning the Esplanade right-of-way to enhance views and pedestrian access. Progressive coastal erosion has led to demolition of residential structures in the 300- and 500-blocks of Esplanade Avenue, and remains an important factor when considering future development potential of sites located along the bluff-top.
WEST SHARP PARK
Sharp Park is one of Pacifica’s original beach communities. Its western and eastern portions are divided by Highway 1. The northern half of West Sharp Park includes some of Pacifica’s only industrial and service commercial uses. The southern half of the neighborhood has a mixture of single-family and multi-family housing, with retail commercial uses prevailing along Palmetto Avenue, and commercial and civic buildings along Francisco Boulevard. A majority of the neighborhood’s approximately 900 housing units are in multifamily buildings. West Sharp Park includes many of Pacifica's community facilities, including a branch of the

San Mateo County Library, the Pacifica Resource Center, City Hall, and Council Chambers. The neighborhood features the Pacifica Pier and Beach Boulevard Promenade, and public parking for the Pier, Promenade, and Sharp Park Beach.
The Plan envisions the area along northern Palmetto west of Palmetto Avenue transitioning to Low-Intensity Visitor Serving Commercial uses over time. The transition is necessary to account for progressive coastal erosion which has advanced into many bluff-top sites along Palmetto Avenue in this area. Coastal erosion is an important factor to consider when reviewing future development of sites located along the bluff-top.
Southern Palmetto Avenue will grow into a higher-density mixed use corridor, supported by higher-intensity development on Francisco Boulevard, and with an enhanced connection to the coast achieved with redevelopment of the Beach Boulevard property. The Beach Boulevard Promenade and park, together with the Pier and Sharp Park Beach, provide extensive recreation opportunities, and are tremendous assets for both the neighborhood and the City. The maintenance of park facilities, the pier, and public parking at this location is a high priority. Views to and along the ocean are essential to the neighborhood's character and must be maintained.

Central Pacifica Coastal Zone
Figure 2-6 shows the central section of Pacifica’s Coastal Zone. The map includes Sharp Park Golf Course, the West Fairway Park neighborhood, Mori Point, the Rockaway Quarry, Rockaway Beach, the Rockaway Headlands, and the Shelldance Nursery.
SHARP PARK GOLF COURSE, WEST FAIRWAY PARK, AND MORI POINT The central stretch of Pacifica’s coast includes Sharp Park Golf Course, Mori Point, and the small single-family subdivision of West Fairway Park. Sharp Park Municipal Golf Course is part of a land bequest made to the City and County of San Francisco early in the 20th Century on the condition that the land be used for public park or recreation. Laguna Salada and its marsh, located on the western side of the golf course, provide habitat for the San Francisco garter snake and California red-legged frog. West Fairway Park is a small single-family residential subdivision. On the south, the neighborhood meets the base of undeveloped Mori Point, managed as part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The Plan designates Sharp Park Golf Course and Mori Point as regional park land. Current characteristics may be maintained, and environmental restoration will be a priority. The West Fairway Park neighborhood's existing land use is reinforced by the Plan’s land use designations.
Sharp Park Beach is open to the public between the Pier and Mori Point, while Sharp Park Golf Course provides a unique recreational asset. Mori Point is a spectacular section of the GGNRA. The General Plan proposes trail improvements and critical new trail segments that would link the coastal trails with the inland ridges. This segment of the Pacifica coastline includes view corridors from Highway 1 into Sharp Park Golf Course and toward Mori Point and Mori Ridge that will be preserved.
ROCKAWAY BEACH, QUARRY, AND HEADLANDS
Rockaway Beach is a small, pedestrian-oriented area with shops, restaurants, and lodging and a small beach, with parking and other amenities. The vacant Quarry site occupies about 94 acres west of Highway 1 and south of Mori Point. About 30 acres of the site are on slopes of 35 percent or steeper. The Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant, at the north end of the former quarry, releases treated wastewater into Calera Creek, which has a naturalized channel, a restored riparian corridor, and a paved walking and cycling path. The Headlands is a rocky promontory separating Rockaway Beach and Pacifica State Beach, and is crossed by a scenic trail.

The Quarry site is Pacifica's most visible potential development site. Prior to any future development, the property owner must complete reclamation of the former quarry pursuant to the State Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) and the Pacifica Municipal Code.
Approximately half of the site, including the upland areas and the Calera Creek riparian corridor, is designated for Conservation. This area will remain open space, with trail improvements connecting Mori Point with Rockaway Beach. The Flats and the Pad overlooking Rockaway Beach are designated for Visitor-Serving Commercial development, supporting such potential uses as a resort hotel, boutique hotels, visitor attractions, and retail uses integrated with the Rockaway Beach district. Redevelopment of the Quarry site could expand this visitor-oriented area. Any development of the Quarry site will require detailed evaluation of biological resources to ensure that sensitive habitat and wetlands are protected; the likely footprint of development could be much smaller than the area designated. While housing may be proposed as part of a plan for the site, Ordinance No. 391 provides that rezoning to allow residential uses may occur only if approved by a residential uses are only authorized after a vote of the electorate. Figure 4-4 of the 2040 General Plan indicates removal of the Hillside Preservation District (HPD) overlay from the Flats portion of the site, which would also require approval by a vote of the electorate. Development in the Quarry Flats should include new public open space.
The existing Rockaway Beach district also offers opportunities for infill and redevelopment, subject to an appropriate assessment of potential coastal hazards and vulnerabilities. The Plan envisions the Rockaway Beach district growing into a more distinct and high-profile visitor destination, with strong links to the natural setting of beaches, headlands, and ridges.
The Plan proposes new coastal trail segments, and new trails would link the coastal trails with the inland ridges.
Improvements to Highway 1 should ease travel, accommodate vehicles as well as bikes and pedestrians, and improve access into the Rockaway Beach district. Coastal views from Highway 1 toward Mori Point, Cattle Hill, and the Rockaway Headlands are important in establishing the identity of this area and Pacifica as a whole.
The United States Geological Survey established the place name “Aramai Point” for the Rockaway Headlands in 2021 in recognition of the indigenous peoples that occupied the area prior to European settlement.
Southern Pacifica Coastal Zone
Figure 2-7 shows the southern part of the Coastal Zone, including Pacifica State Beach, Shelter Cove, and the Pedro Point neighborhood, as well as Pedro Point Headlands.
PACIFICA STATE BEACH
Pacifica State Beach, also known as Linda Mar Beach, is a long sandy beach on a small bay formed by the Rockaway Headlands and Pedro Point. Pacifica State Beach is an outstanding recreational asset for the City and attracts over one million visitors annually from the region and beyond for its surfing, beach environment and scenery in close proximity to San Francisco. Recent restoration work and improvements to parking and access have helped to ensure that the beach will remain a popular natural environment for years to come. Views from Highway 1 toward the crescent sweep of Pacifica State Beach, the Headlands, and Pedro Point are a defining element for Pacifica, and will be preserved across the protected park land.
Pacifica State Beach supports primarily wintering and/or migrating Western snowy plovers, a federally threatened bird species. The beach must continue to be managed to ensure that recreational use does not interfere with the species' habitat requirements. Steelhead trout from the Central California Coast Ecologically Significant Unit are listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. Steelhead are known to spawn in several parts of San Pedro Creek, and the City will continue to support the preservation of viable steelhead migration.

PEDRO POINT AND SHELTER COVE
The Pedro Point neighborhood sits on the slope of the promontory that marks Pacifica’s southern boundary.
The neighborhood is characterized by single-family houses climbing up the slope, with some commercial development, including a small shopping center, on the flat land near the beach. The neighborhood is separated from the coastline by the berm of the former Ocean Shore Railroad. Pedro Point abuts City-, County-, and State-owned land at the Point’s higher elevations. This land is within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s legislative boundary, and could be included in the park in the future. The western tip of Pedro Point descends to Shelter Cove, where another cluster of houses exists on a single 17-acre parcel. Land access to Shelter Cove has been limited to steep pedestrian trails since the former roadway to the area washed out in the 1980s.years ago.
The Plan reinforces existing land use patterns for all developed parts of the sub-area. There is potential for Pedro Point shopping center and adjacent parcels to accommodate some new retail development, which could provide local convenience shopping as well as visitor-oriented businesses. The Plan retains flexibility for any future development on the vacant site west of the shopping center, which could have residential and smallscale commercial and visitor-oriented uses. Development of the site will require detailed evaluation of coastal hazards/vulnerabilities and biological resources to ensure that any sensitive habitat and wetlands that may exist on the site are protected; thus, the footprint of development could be smaller than the area designated. Future development should include a small park and access to the berm and the beach beyond. Completion of the Devils Slide Tunnel project has provided the opportunity to create a new trailhead and trails through open space land on the headlands.
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
San Pedro Mountain and Pedro Point Headlands define the southern boundary of Pacifica’s Sphere of Influence, which includes the undeveloped 73-acre, 986-lot Tobin Park subdivision (located outside the Coastal Zone). The Plan designates existing public open space in the Sphere of Influence as Park, and designates all other land as Urban Reserve. The Urban Reserve area is intended to remain largely undeveloped.

LD-I-6 Oceanfront Land for Recreational Use. ProtectPrioritize use of land adjacent to Sharp Park and Pacifica State Beaches for low-intensity recreational use. Allowable uses should include those with a low development impact and which are readily relocated to adapt to evolving coastal conditions, such as recreation outfitters, campgrounds, rustic lodging, hikers’ huts, or view restaurants.
LD-I-7 Development Priority for Visitor-Serving and Recreational Uses. Allow visitor-oriented uses as-of-right in all areas designated for Visitor-Serving Commercial or Low-Intensity Visitor-Serving Commercial, and all commercial or mixed-use districts within the Coastal Zone.
Development on Visitor-Serving Commercial sites with developable areas of two acres or larger must include a visitor attraction, hotel, conference center, or similar use, and may also include a range of retail and service uses.
Smaller sites may have any visitor- or pedestrian-oriented retail or service use.
LD-I-8 Walkable and Transit-Oriented Development. Facilitate higher-density, mixed use development at specific locations along the coastline where an active, pedestrian environment is desired as shown on the Land Use Diagram (Figure 2-3).
Future development along Palmetto Avenue and at the Eureka Square site; on lower Linda Mar Boulevard and Crespi Drive in West Linda Mar; at the Pacific Manor Shopping Center; and at Rockaway Beach and Quarry are easily accessible along the Highway 1 corridor and transit routes. Such development should help to make the coastline more accessible to residents and visitors.
LD-I-9 Coastal-Dependent Industry. Allow new coastal-dependent industry only if alternative locations outside the Coastal Zone are infeasible or more environmentally damaging or because to do otherwise would adversely affect the public welfare, and potential impacts to visual resources, sensitive species and habitat, water quality are mitigated to the maximum extent feasible.
Future development of oil and gas facilities, refineries or petrochemical facilities, or thermal electric generating plants may be permitted only according to the terms established in Sections 30262, 30263, and 30264 of the Coastal Act. Conditions of Approval shall ensure consistency with all Coastal Act policies.
LD-I-10 Aquaculture. If oceanfront land is found to be suitable for coastal-dependent aquaculture, give such use priority over non-coastal-dependent uses.

POLICIES FOR SPECIFIC SITES
LD-I-11 Pacific Manor. Establish appropriate zoning for the Pacific Manor Shopping district to fFacilitate Retail Commercial improvements and Mixed Use redevelopment. in the Pacific Manor shopping district.
Redevelopment or improvements should enhance the area’s walkability and visual appeal, and should include pedestrian realm improvements that help to integrate the district with its coastal setting.
LD-I-12 Northern Palmetto. Support the transition to low-intensity visitor-serving commercial uses over time along the west side of Palmetto Avenue in northern West Sharp Park, and require improvement of the visual appearance of permitted older industrial uses when improvements are proposed to these uses.
Geotechnical studies are required to determine the “net developable area.” New uses are required to provide appropriate setbacks along the coastal bluffs to protect new structures from loss during their design life, and to provide public access to and along the shoreline.
LD-I-13 Palmetto Avenue. Enhance Palmetto Avenue between north of Paloma Avenue and Clarendon Road as a pedestrian-oriented main street with retail, restaurants and services as well as multi-family housing and mixed-use development.
This will foster a character that will attract both residents and tourists and will follow standards and guidelines established in the Sharp Park Specific Plan.
LD-I-14 Promenade Area and Beach Boulevard Property. Enhance the Promenade area as a local community and tourist destination.
Redevelopment of the city-owned 2212 Beach Boulevard property should provide an anchor for Palmetto Avenue and enhance the beachfront experience. The preferred use is a hotel if market conditions allow, but other appropriate uses will include a conventional commercial/residential mixed-use project with cafes, restaurants, retail, and upper-level housing. The mix of uses for any non-hotel project shall emphasize uses that are of interest to visitors and that generate revenues for the City.
LD-I-15 Francisco Boulevard. Facilitate office commercial as well as retail development along the three blocks of Francisco Boulevard north of Santa Maria Avenue, and higher-intensity mixed use development on the three blocks between Santa Maria Avenue and Montecito Avenue.
A core of high-intensity and civic uses here should help to support retail and restaurants along Palmetto Avenue by bringing more residents and workers and by enhancing visibility from Highway 1.
LD-I-16 Rockaway Quarry Site. Enable the responsible development and environmental conservation of the Quarry Site.
Preparation of a specific plan for the Quarry site could achieve the desired development outcomes. Allowable development should provide City revenues, substantial public open space, and commercial uses and public spaces attractive to both visitors and local residents. Uses may include an inn or hotel; shops and restaurants; performance or conference spaces; and public uses. Ordinance No. 391 provides that residential uses are only authorized after a vote of the electorate. Development should be integrated with the Rockaway Beach district, to create an expanded visitor-oriented area in a memorable natural setting.

Environmental protection is a priority at this site and includes preserving upland areas as open space, preserving the riparian corridor along Calera Creek, and preserving critical habitat. Any development of the Quarry site will require detailed evaluation of potential geotechnical hazards and biological resources to ensure safe use of the site and that sensitive habitat and wetlands are protected; the likely footprint of development could be much smaller than the area designated.
LD-I-17 Rockaway Beach. Facilitate continued improvements in the Rockaway Beach district and promote infill development emphasizing active ground-floor and visitor-oriented uses and links to the Quarry site.
The Rockaway Beach area could be included in a specific plan that also covers the Quarry site.
LD-I-18 Rockaway HeadlandsAramai Point. Facilitate very low-intensity visitor-serving commercial use on the HeadlandsAramai Point between Rockaway and Pacifica State Beach.
Maintain the Coastal Trail connecting the two beaches. Any use on this site must recognize the limited opportunity for vehicular access.
Potential uses should have a low development impact and able to be readily relocated to adapt to evolving coastal conditions, such as rustic lodging, hikers’ huts, or similar uses.
LD-I-19 Pedro Point Shopping Center. Facilitate improvements to the existing Shopping Center that result in an improved orientation to the coastal environment and that result in more efficient use of the property with regards to parking, while enhancing its appeal for both neighborhood residents and visitors. Maintain beach access along the Shoreside Drive. right-of-way.
LD-I-20 Undeveloped San Pedro Avenue Site. Establish a Coastal Residential Mixed Use zoning district to allow small-scale visitor-oriented commercial uses as a stand-alone project without any residential development, or small-scale visitor-oriented commercial uses with residential development at a density range of three to five units per gross acre. Housing may be clustered, and uses may be mixed vertically or horizontally. Residential uses may be constructed attached to or detached from commercial uses, provided the overall site contains both commercial and residential uses. Development must include public coastal access and must provide public open space.
A wetland survey conducted according to the requirements of Coastal Commission regulation 13577 (Title 14, California Code of Regulations) is required to delineate potential wetlands on the site as part of the development application and environmental review process. An assessment of potential geotechnical hazards must also be part of the development application and environmental review process, including assessment of the Ocean Shore railroad berm under hazard and vulnerability scenarios consistent with policies in Chapters 5 and 6.
CREATING A DESTINATION
LD-I-21 Town Center Sharp Park Area. Use the Sharp Park Specific Plan to guide future development in the West Sharp Park area, as well as adjacent areas east of Highway 1 such as Eureka Square.

destination with shops and services for residents and visitors alike. The Sharp Park Specific Plan must be certified by the Coastal Commission before taking effect in the Coastal Zone.
LD-I-22 Business Improvement District. Work with property owners and the Palmetto Business Association to establish a Business Improvement District (BID) to finance local public improvements in the corridor.
LD-I-23 City-Owned Catalyst Projects. Use city-owned properties as catalysts for new development in the Palmetto area and elsewhere in the city.
For key opportunity sites such as the Old Wastewater Treatment Plant site on 2212 Beach Boulevard, the City may issue Request for Proposals for development. Learning from past request for qualifications (RFQ) processes for 2212 Beach Boulevard site will inform strategies to make the site more attractive and marketable as part of a future RFQ for a hotel developer.
LD-I-24 Recycling Center Relocation. Work with Recology, Inc. to identify a new location for a recycling yard its vehicle maintenance facility located on Palmetto Avenue at Pacific Avenue to free up land for visitor-based economic development.
LD-I-25 Increase Tourism. Prepare a multi-faceted program to encourage tourism, focusing on:
• Attracting new hotels or inns, a visitor’s center or other key attraction, tourism-based shopping, and other components; and
• “Branding” and marketing Pacifica’s parks, open spaces, beaches, and other natural amenities.
LD-I-26 Enhanced Visitor Node. Create a visitor-oriented commercial and hospitality node at Rockaway Beach and on developable portions of the Rockaway Quarry site. which contains distinctive design, uses, and recreational opportunities.
A key component of this strategy would be to pursue a boutique or high end/resort-oriented hotel and supporting tourist-oriented shopping and dining opportunities.
2.5 DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY AND ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC SERVICES One purpose of the General Plan and LCLUP is to ensure that the City can accommodate projected population and job growth over the planning period (to 2040). To meet the requirements of State housing law, the City must also have adequate sites where housing affordable to moderate- and low-income households can reasonably be developed. The Plan seeks to meet these needs while also satisfying other community goals and ensuring safety and environmental protection. This section estimates projected demand for new housing and non-residential space, and the development potential provided under the General Plan land use framework.
Population and Employment
POPULATION, HOUSING, AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
Pacifica grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, but has grown very little since then. The City gained an average of 790 persons per decade in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s but saw a decline of 1,600 people from 2000 to 2010.
In 2017, Pacifica’s population was 39,141, an increase of six percent from a population of 36,805 in the 2010
10.b
Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: Attachment B - Revised Certification Draft LCLUP (Redlines) (5490 : Process Update on Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) PACIFICA LOCAL COASTAL LAND USE PLAN – REVISED CERTIFICATION DRAFT, OCTOBER 2023FEBRUARY 2020 2-30
Census, and an increase of about 2 percent over its population of 38,390 in 2000. Between 2000 and 2017, the City added 440 housing units, as average household size increased slightly from 2.73 to 2.77 persons.
As in much of the state, Pacifica’s population has grown older in recent decades. Between 2000 and 2017, the 25-to-44 age cohort declined from 33 to 26 percent of the population, and there were also declines in the cohorts age 5 to 17. Meanwhile the 45-to-64 group grew from 27 to 32 percent and the population age 65 or greater rose from 10 to 15 percent.3
According to the Longitudinal Household Employer Dynamics Survey, the Planning Area had 4,725 jobs in 2017, an increase from 4,169 jobs in 2015.
4 Development Capacity and Projections
Development capacity is calculated based on assumptions about new residential and non-residential development that could be built under the Plan’s land use designations and their respective densities and intensities.
As described in the General Plan, there are an estimated 1,280 acres of vacant or underutilized land classified for residential or mixed use in the Pacifica Planning Area. Buildout of an estimated 80 percent of opportunity sites at projected densities would result in a total of 1,040 new housing units. This Plan conservatively uses the 2017 ACS population estimate of 39,141 as a baseline and assumes that Pacifica and its Sphere of Influence will reach a projected population of 41,878 by 2040, based on this development capacity.5 There are an estimated 117 acres of vacant or underutilized land classified for commercial or mixed use, citywide (mixed use land is also counted in the residential capacity analysis). The Rockaway Quarry site accounts for 49 acres, the portion of the site’s 94 total acres that would be potentially available for Visitor-Serving Commercial (VC) development based on the area mapped with this designation. As noted above, the Quarry site’s development capacity may be further reduced by site-specific analyses of geotechnical and biological . Realistic development of opportunity sites would result in an estimated 645,400 square feet of net new non-residential building area. The greatest amount of new building area would be in the VC category, reinforcing the importance of this sector to Pacifica’s economic development strategy. Much of the VC potential is on the Quarry site, which site has proven challenging to develop in the past. New development is estimated to accommodate approximately 1,470 new jobs over the planning period.
The General Plan uses what may be considered a high-growth scenario for two principal reasons. First, much of the potentially developable land in Pacifica may be challenging to develop, so providing capacity to accommodate higher growth is more likely to translate to development that meets the needs of slower population growth. Second, there will be a need to provide adequate sites for housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households, to meet regional housing requirements. 3 U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), 2013-2017 4 U.S. Census Bureau, Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD), 2019 5 Total population calculated by multiplying 5% vacancy rate by total buildout of 1,040 units; assumes current rate of 2.75 people per household.

Coastal Development Potential
Within the Coastal Zone, including all land west of Highway 1 as well as the Shelldance Nursery, the Planning Area has an estimated development capacity for 334 net new housing units on 78 acres of vacant or underutilized land. Nine in 10 of these units would be in Medium or High Density or Mixed Use areas, and potentially affordable to moderate- and low-income households. See Table 2-2.

The Coastal Zone also has an estimated capacity for approximately 154,300 net new square feet of nonresidential development on 110 acres of vacant or under-utilized land (land designated for mixed use is counted both here and in the residential capacity analysis.) About two-thirds of the new development capacity would take place in the Visitor-Serving Commercial category, including the Quarry site. See Table 2-3.

Public Facilities and Services
A critical function of planning is to evaluate the capacity for existing public facilities and services to handle growth, and to identify long-term needs. In the Coastal Zone, public works facilities should be sited and designed to support development that furthers the goals of the Coastal Act (Section 30254). This section summarizes the projected demand for water and wastewater services, and other utilities, based on the land use framework described above. This framework intends to be consistent with Coastal Act priorities, including visitor-oriented development, public access and recreation, and environmental and scenic protection. The Plan’s approach to the roadway network is covered in Chapter 3.
Potable Water Supply
The North Coast County Water District (NCCWD), an independent water purveyor, supplies water to Pacifica and part of San Bruno. The district gets its water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) through the Hetch Hetchy system. The District also has rights to a limited amount of surface water from the South Fork of San Pedro Creek for six months of the year. Pacifica’s water is pumped from San Andreas Lake and the Harry Tracey Water Treatment Plant in Millbrae via a main distribution line under Skyline Boulevard,
10.b
Packet Pg. 237 Attachment: Attachment B - Revised Certification Draft LCLUP (Redlines) (5490 : Process Update on Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) CHAPTER 2: LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
2-33
to the Milagra Ridge storage tank. From there, water for northern Pacifica is pumped to the Christian Hill tank on Skyline Boulevard and then distributed by gravity to smaller tanks and to customers. Water for southern Pacifica is piped from the Milagra Ridge tank to the Royce tank, off Fassler Avenue, and then to smaller tanks and to customers. Overall, the system is divided into 34 pressure zones, each separated by pressure-reducing valves.6 The NCCWD has adopted a 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) that describes its water supply; past, current, and projected water use; and water conservation targets, among other water resource information.
WATER CAPACITY AND USAGE
The NCCWD system’s 1114 storage tanks have a total capacity of 23.818.3 million gallons, enough to supply the service area with water for seven 5.8 days at the District’s average daily usage rate of 2.433.24 million gallons per day (mgd).7 The District’s contract with SFPUC allows for a maximum purchase of 3.84 mgd.
WATER CONSERVATION
Water use in the District has steadily declined in recent years due to conservation programs and infrastructure repairs. Water conservation will continue to be important in coming years. In 2018, two laws were passed to aid California in making water conservation a way of life: SB 606 and AB 1668. These two laws highlight water efficiency and conservation and are meant to outline certain roles and actions to be carried out by the California Department of Water Resources, the State Water Resource Control Board and water suppliers. Each urban water supplier, starting in November of 2023, will calculate its own objective based on the water needed in its service area for efficient indoor residential water use, outdoor residential water use, commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) irrigation with dedicated meters and reasonable amounts of system water loss from leaks, the fact sheet states. In determining their objectives, water suppliers will also consider other unique local uses and credits for potable water reuse, based on standards adopted by the state water board. A coordinated response by the City and the NCCWD will help Pacifica meet the requirements of this legislation in the future. The Water Conservation Act of 2009 sets an overall target to reduce urban per capita water use by 20 percent by the end of 2020, with an interim target of 10 percent by the end of 2015. The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act provides a Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and requires that all jurisdictions adopt it or one at least as effective.
The City has established procedures to meet the requirements of the state’s Model Ordinance. A coordinated response by the City and the NCCWD will help Pacifica meet the requirements of this legislation, and stay beneath the water supply limit established by the SFPUC.
NCCWD has completed the first phase of a project that pumps treated wastewater from the City’s Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant through a new system of pipes for use as irrigation water for parks, playing fields, and landscaped areas. When the project is fully implemented, it is estimated to have the potential to save up to 55 million gallons of drinking water annually.8
INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION
Pacifica’s water pipes and storage reservoirs are aging and in need of modernization. NCCWD’s current Capital Improvement Plan focuses on pursuing additional sources of supply, addressing water storage deficits by 6 Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA).

increasing tank size or adding new tanks, and pipe upgrades. minimizing the risk to the water supply that could result from a major seismic event. NCCWD replaced three major water tanks in recent years, and has completed the installation of back-up generators at all 14 of its storage tanks. It will add sensors allowing automatic shutdown of key tanks during a major earthquake, and install “jumper nodules” at joints in the pipe system.
The transmission main that brings water to Pacifica from the regional system is located above the San Andreas Fault as it follows Skyline Boulevard in San Bruno. NCCWD is committing resources both to short-term pipe inspection and repair along the main line, and to a study of the feasibility of developing an alternative and reliable water source.9 Beyond these modernization efforts, Pacifica and NCCWD are dependent upon the safety and durability of the Hetch Hetchy system.
WATER QUALITY
SFPUC monitors water at the source and at local treatment plants for turbidity, organic and inorganic chemicals, microbial quality, mineral content, and radiological quality. NCCWD monitors water as it enters the District’s system, and takes weekly water samples from various locations. Pacifica’s water is consistently high-quality and safe to drink, meeting all standards set by the California Department of Health Services and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.10
Wastewater
The City operates a wastewater treatment plant, sewage lift stations, and stormwater pump stations, as well as the citywide system of sewer mains and lateral pipes that connect to homes and businesses. Waste water flows through some 106105 miles of main pipes to five sewer pump stations, and on to the Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant. The City’s topography prevents gravity flow to the plant, and requires pump stations at Rockaway Beach, Linda Mar and Sharp Park.
CALERA CREEK WATER RECYCLING PLANT
The Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant (CCWRP), located on the south flank of Mori Point, is a tertiary treatment plant, brought online in 2000 to replace the old Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Sharp Park.
The new plant uses ultraviolet disinfection, which allows effluent to be released to wetlands without residual chlorine. The plant has facilitated the creation and restoration of wetlands along Calera Creek, bringing yearround flow to a naturalized stream channel. The NCCWD began receiving recycled water from the plant and has been delivering the tertiary recycled water to recreational and institutional customers for irrigation use since August 2013, and residential customers since 2015. The CCWRP is also the source for a portion of Pacifica’s landscape irrigation water under NCCWD’s water recycling project. Testing at the Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant indicates that discharges generally meet applicable water quality standards, although there have been some isolated instances of non-compliance.
USAGE AND CAPACITY
Average annual wastewater flows declined from 3.7 million gallons per day (mgd) on average in 2001 to 2.9 mgd in 2008, but were projected to rise to 3.2 mgd by 2012. The CCWRP has a dry weather capacity of 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd), a peak hourly dry weather capacity of 7.0 mgd, and a peak hourly wet weather capacity of 20 mgd.11 Because of Pacifica’s projected slow growth, the Plant will have adequate capacity for the next 15 to 20 years. The City shall monitor wastewater discharges from existing and newly permitted 9 North Coast County Water District (NCCWD). 20-Year Long-Term Master Plan. February 2016.

development to ensure that it plans for additional capacity in advance of projected need in the event actual discharge rates exceed these projections.
The City’s sanitary sewer collection system is subject to infiltration and inflow (I/I) of extraneous ground water and storm water.
In May 2011, the City was issued a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and was ordered to eliminate insufficient capacity caused sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from the sanitary sewer collection system by January 1, 2019. In response, the City developed the Wet Weather Equalization (EQ) Basin Project to reduce SSOs, which required construction of a 2.1-million gallon-capacity EQ basin at the Pacifica Community Center parking lot and underground conveyance piping along Linda Mar Boulevard and Arguello Boulevard during high-flow storm events, completed in 2019.
Planned Improvements
The City intends to undertake the following projects:
• A feasibility study for Replacement of thean ultraviolet (UV) treatment system at the CCWRP; • Phase II of the Sewer System Master Plan Update; and
• Sharp Park Pump SystemStation odor control upgrade, to make the site compatible with future redevelopment; and
• .Relocation of the mainline and forcemain at the Sharp Park pump station.
In 2021, the City completed Phase II of the Sewer System Master Plan Update. An Inflow and Infiltration study will determined improvement needs in the collection system at Crespi Drive, Linda Mar Boulevard, Fremont Avenue, and Catalina Avenue. This will serve as a basis for project priorities and future master planning.
Electricity and Gas
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) provides gas and electric services to Pacifica homes and businesses. With energy obtained from power plants, natural gas fields, and renewable energy sources in northern California. Peninsula Clean Energy is an alternative renewable-energy electricity provider. Both providers offer clean energy options including significant shares greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-free power generation. The availability of electricity and gas services is not expected to become an issue during the planning horizon. However, electricity and natural gas use account for 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Pacifica. Thus, while supply is not anticipated to be an issue in Pacifica, reducing demand for these resources will help reduce carbon emissions.
Solid Waste Collection and Recycling
Although solid waste accounts for just 2 percent of Pacifica’s carbon emissions, solid waste has the potential to be a much larger contributor to global warming overall because of methane produced byproducts. Solid waste can be reduced through recycling, composting, and reduction and reuse of material goods.
Solid waste collection and recycling services in Pacifica are provided by Recology of the Coast, a division of Recology. Recology, based in San Francisco, operates a number of landfills, waste transfer and materials recovery facilities, including the recycling yard at 1046 Palmetto Avenue in Pacifica. Recology emphasizes waste reduction and diversion, and is the largest compost facility operator by volume in the United States. In Pacifica,

Recology of the Coast currently provides curbside pick-up of garbage, recyclables, and green waste for both residential and commercial customers.
The City has enacted an Oordinance No. 838-C.S regulating plastic beverage straws, stirrers and cutlery, and polystyrene disposable food service wear. requiring all food vendors to use biodegradable or compostable service ware. Also, both the City and San Mateo County have recycling divisions that provide information to help residents and businesses reduce and divert waste from landfills. The City has also adopted Ordinance No. 870-CS to comply with SB 1383, California’s Short Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, to increase organic waste recycling in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

RECREATION
Open space is a defining feature of the Pacifica Coastal Zone, an extraordinary resource, and a priority for the community. Parks, schools, and public utility services are a vital part of a livable and sustainable Pacifica. The purpose of this chapter is to document existing public open space and community facilities and infrastructure, identify priority improvements, and ensure that they meet the needs of community members. The close relationship between open space, parks, recreation, and schools is highlighted.
An important part of coastal planning under the Coastal Act is identifying and protecting public access to the shoreline. With this in mind, this chapter provides policies for coastal access, and describes improvements that are proposed to be undertaken during the planning period to enhance recreational use of the coastline.

3.1 COASTAL ACT FRAMEWORK
Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states that “maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse.” The Coastal Act establishes specific requirements for public access to and along the coast, and identifies lower-cost visitor-serving and recreational use of Coastal Zone land as high priorities. Furthermore, Section 30006 of the Coastal Act states that “the public has a right to fully participate in decisions affecting coastal planning, conservation and development; […] and that the continuing planning and implementation of programs for coastal conservation and development should include the widest opportunity for public participation.” Policies from Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act which are most relevant to the subject matter of this chapter include, but are not limited to, the policies listed below. Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, available in Appendix A, is incorporated by reference into this chapter.
Coastal Act Policies

• Section 30224 Recreational boating use; encouragement; facilities • Article 6: Development
• Section 30252 Maintenance and enhancement of public access • Section 30254 Public works facilities
3.2 COASTAL ACCESS
Under the Coastal Act, the public’s right of access to the sea is protected (Section 30211). New development along the coastline is expected to provide public access from the nearest public roadway, except where public access would endanger public safety or fragile coastal resources or where there is adequate access nearby (Section 30212). Public access requirements are to be implemented in a way that allows flexibility in the time,

Packet Pg. 244 Attachment: Attachment B - Revised Certification Draft LCLUP (Redlines) (5490 : Process Update on Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) CHAPTER 3: PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION
place, and manner of access based on site characteristics such as topography, natural resources, and the privacy of adjacent property owners (Section 30214). To the greatest extent feasible, public coastal access facilities should be distributed along the coastline to prevent overcrowding or overuse of any area (Section 30212.5).
The Coastal Act requires that local coastal land use plans include a public access component to coordinate public and private access improvements. Coastal access points in Pacifica are detailed in Table 3-1 and shown in Figure 3-1. Some of the access points are privately-owned, while others are on public land. Two types of access points are distinguished: those that provide beach access, and those that provide bluff-top access or viewpoints.

Coastal Access Points with Beaches
Public access to beaches in Pacifica exists at Sharp Park Beach, Rockaway Beach, and Pacifica State Beach.
The shore can also be reached by a public coastal access ramp across private property at Oceanaire Apartments (formerly Land’s End Apartments) in the West Edgemar-Pacific Manor neighborhood, and a public easement on the south side of the San Francisco RV Park.
Coastal Access Points at Bluff-tops or Overlook Points
Bluff-top or promontory access with views over the coastline exists at Mori Point and on the Northern Coastal Bluffs. Direct views to the Ocean are provided at Esplanade Avenue; along Beach Boulevard; at Rockaway Beach; and from the Ocean Shore Railroad berm and the top of Kent Road in the Pedro Point neighborhood. A multi-purpose trail was constructed in 2006 at the south end of Esplanade Avenue directly north of the San Francisco RV Park. Access and overlook points are listed on Table 3-1.
Coastal Access Improvements
LCLUP and General Plan policies identify additional coastal access improvements. The These include enhanced access to the shore south of City is planning improvements to the public access point south of the San Francisco RV Park and enhanced access to bluffs and as part of repairs to the Milagra Creek stormwater outfall, and may develop a small public park or bluff-top viewing areas along Northern Coastal Bluffs, Pedro Point and Rockaway Headlands. on City-owned land along Esplanade Avenue if such improvements are feasible1.
The City has supported potential trail improvements by GGNRA to create additional public access on the Northern Coastal Bluffs and at Pedro Point Headlands. A coastal access point has been identified on Rockaway Headlands, where the public could have the opportunity to experience this spectacular setting.
LCLUP policies identify additional coastal access improvements.
Coastal Access with Development
According to the Coastal Act, new development is required to provide maximum beach access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the shoreline, except where specific conditions apply. This provision does not apply to all types of new development, including reconstruction of a single-family house or improvements to structures which do not change the intensity of use (California Public Resources Code Section 30210-30214).
Right of Access Acquired Through Use
Along the California coast the general public has historically used numerous coastal areas. Trails to the beach, informal parking areas, beaches, and blufftops have provided recreational opportunities for hiking, picnicking, fishing, swimming, surfing, diving, viewing and nature study. The public may have the right to use the property by permission of the owner or the public may acquire the right through use of the property without permission. This is sometimes referred to as a “public prescriptive easement.” This term recognizes that the use must continue for the length of the “prescriptive period” before a public easement comes into being. In California the prescriptive period is five years.2

Policies
Guiding Policies
PR-G-1 Coastal Access and Recreational Opportunities. Provide maximum coastal access and recreational opportunities for all people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse, including access at each point identified on Figure 3-1.
PR-G-2 Management of Public Access. Regulate the time, place, and manner that public access is provided, based on such factors as topographic and site constraints; the fragility of natural resources; public safety; and the privacy of adjacent residential uses.
PR-G-3 Distribution of Public Coastal Facilities. Continue to distribute public facilities, including parking areas or facilities, so as to mitigate against the impacts of overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area.
PR-G-4 Vehicle Miles Traveled. Strive to reduce overall vehicle miles traveled by developing high-density, mixed-use areas, designing pedestrian-oriented streets, and improving transit options and efficiency. The City shall strive to implement infrastructure and programs which support a significant reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Implementing Policies
PR-I-1 Public Shoreline Access. Continue to ensure that new development does not interfere with the public’s right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.
Formalized public access locations are shown in Figure 3-1.
PR-I-2 New Development and Coastal Access. Require that new development along the coastline provide public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast, and be designed to minimize impacts to public coastal access and recreation. Ensure that impacts are mitigated through the dedication of access or trail easements or the provision of improvements to other public access points.
The City may grant exceptions to this requirement where public access would pose a safety risk or threat to fragile resources, or where adequate access exists nearby.
PR-I-3 Private Roads and Gates. Prohibit gates and other barriers designed to regulate or restrict access on private roads where such barriers have the potential to impede access to public trails and recreational areas.
PR-I-4 Maintenance of Public Coastal Access. Require a public or private entity to be responsible for required public access ways. Until such an entity agrees to be

responsible for liability and maintenance of such access ways, they are not required to be open for public use. Dedicated public access ways should be designed to provide views as well as access connections to or along the shore.
PR-I-5 Impediments to Public Access. Prohibit restrictions on public parking that would adversely affect public access to beaches, trails, or other recreational lands along the coast except where necessary to protect public safety. Such restrictions include the installation of “private beach” and “private parking” signs, landscaping, and painting red curbs in the public right-of-way.
PR-I-6 Structures on Public Beaches. Limit structural development on public beaches to that which is necessary for public access or safety, such as lifeguard towers, waste receptacles, or wheelchair accessways. Such development shall be able to be removed or relocated, and shall be sited and designed to minimize adverse impacts on public access, recreation, and coastal resources.
The limitations of this policy shall not apply to shoreline protection structures permitted in accordance with Section 30235 of the PRC and related policies within this LCLUP.
PR-I-7 Adjustment of Lateral Shoreline Easements. Require that new lateral shoreline easements, where required, automatically adjust as needed to move in response to changes to the shoreline (“rolling easements”).
New development must demonstrate that lateral access can be maintained for the expected life of the project, including consideration of effects from sea level rise. Alternatively, the City may determine that lateral public access is not necessary where public access would pose a safety risk or threat to fragile resources, or where adequate access exists nearby. Alternatively, the Planning Director may determine that lateral access is not necessary.
PR-I-8 Temporary Events. Ensure that temporary events minimize impacts to public access, recreation, and coastal resources through the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation special events permitting process. Consistent with Coastal Commission Guidelines, a Coastal Development Permit shall not be required unless the event meets all of the following criteria:
• Is held between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day; and, • Occupies all or a portion of a sandy beach area; and, • Involves a charge for general public admission or seating where no fee is currently charged for use of the same area (not including booth or entry fees).
PR-I-9 Fees and Time Restrictions. Ensure that public beaches and parks in the Coastal Zone are free to access or maintain lower-cost user fees and parking fees, and minimize parking lot and beach curfews to the extent feasible in order to maximize public access and recreation opportunities.

PR-I-20 New Coastal Access Points. Pursue development of new coastal access points wherever possible based on new acquisitions of public land or easements, within fiscal limitations for maintenance of the access points.
3.3 OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION
The Coastal Act seeks to protect, encourage, and provide lower-cost visitor and recreational facilities and maximize public recreational opportunities in the Coastal Zone (Section 30213), as well as to preserve areas especially suited for ocean-oriented recreational use (Section 30220) unless the demand is not likely in the foreseeable future or similar recreation is already adequately provided for locally (Section 30221). Upland areas necessary to support coastal recreational uses should also be preserved (Section 30223). Section 30224 specifically promotes development of facilities for boating use. New development along the coast should ensure that the recreational needs of new residents will not overload coastal recreation areas (Section 30252).
Parks and recreation facilities provide community gathering places, opportunities for relaxation, passive and active recreation, enjoyment of the natural environment, and a break from the stresses of everyday life. Public open space in Pacifica also defines neighborhoods, establishes urban edges, creates scenic vistas, protects coastal resources, and protects rare and endangered or threatened plants and animals and their habitats.
Pacifica has over six miles of coastline and beaches, offering recreation opportunities that include isolated beach experiences, outstanding fishing, surfing, tide-pooling and diving. Trails provide public access along much of Pacifica’s coastline. Pacifica also provides City parks in a variety of sizes for local residents and visitors, maintains a partnership with local school districts making school play fields available for community use, and has a historic coastal public golf course and club house.
Existing parks and proposed improvements are shown on Figure 3-2, Parks and Open Space System.
In addition to the extensive public land in Pacifica’s Coastal Zone and the recreation opportunities it affords, the Local Coastal Land Use Plan designates certain areas for Low-Intensity Visitor-Serving Commercial uses. This development priority is covered in Chapter 2.
Regional Parks and Beaches
Regional Parks
Regional parks and beaches in the Coastal Zone total approximately 450 acres, and are listed in Table 3-2. This park land is owned and managed by various agencies, including the National Park Service, the State of California, the City and County of San Francisco, and the City of Pacifica. The City does not have permitting authority over park land owned by other public agencies. While the California red-legged frog and the endangered San Francisco garter snake are noted within the Mori Point and Sharp Park areas, these or other sensitive species may be present in other regional park or beach areas.

GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA
Mori Point and land on Pacifica’s Northern Coastal Bluffs are part of the National Park Service’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), which extends in segments from Point Reyes, through San Francisco, to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Additional land owned by the California Coastal Conservancy and the City of Pacifica on Pedro Point Headlands may be added to the GGNRA in the future. As of 20092018, GGNRA estimated approximately 17 million visitors to the Recreation Area as a whole., up from 13 million visitors to 74,820 acres of parkland in 2004.4 Protected ridges and coastal bluffs in and adjacent to the GGNRA are features of major local and regional significance as well as being vantage points for impressive views of the coast and bayside ridges and valleys.
NORTHERN COASTAL BLUFFS
GGNRA manages approximately 17 acres of bluffs along the ocean in the far northern end of Pacifica, nearly contiguous with GGNRA-managed coastal land around Mussel Rock in Daly City.
This land offers wide open views from Palmetto Avenue. There is currently no improved public access. GGNRA intends to preserve and enhance the natural and scenic values of their cliffs, with some public access.
MORI POINT
Mori Point, a 106-acre promontory between Sharp Park and Rockaway beaches, was added to the GGNRA in 2002. Mori Point is accessible from the Coastal Trail along Calera Creek, from the Sharp Park levee at Clarendon and Beach Boulevard, or from Mori Point Road in the West Fairway Park 4 National Park Service, http://www.nps.gov/goga/parkmgmt/statistics.htm, accessed 2009.

neighborhood. The San Francisco garter snake and California red-legged frog are found on Mori Point, and the unit is managed for the protection of these species, while trail enhancements are also being provided.
SHARP PARK
The 400-acre Sharp Park is the result of a 1917 land bequest by the Murphey Sharp family to the City and County of San Francisco, on the condition that the land remains in recreational use. Sharp Park contains an 18-hole public golf course, with 14 of those holes located in the Coastal Zone and , occupying 128 acres between the ocean berm and Highway 1. Sharp Park Golf Course It was established in 1932 and designed by British golf course architect, Alister MacKenzie. The Sharp Park Golf Course provides low-cost golf to the general public, with reduced greens fees for Pacifica and San Francisco residents. The golf course Sharp Park Golf Course also includes habitat for the California red-legged frog and the endangered San Francisco garter snake. In 2009, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission adopted a restoration plan that would retain the golf course, while also creating more habitat by realigning parts of the course.
PEDRO POINT HEADLANDS
Pedro Point Headlands is the coastal extension of San Pedro Mountain, jutting into the Pacific west of Highway 1 north of Devil's Slide. Most of Pedro Point Headlands within the Planning Area are now owned by the State of California or the City of Pacifica. The Headlands will be managed for habitat protection and public enjoyment. The construction of the Devil’s Slide Tunnel allowed the bypassed highway segment to be converted to a trail in 2014. Parking areas and trailheads are also now available at this segment, and new trails have been developed to link the trailhead at the north end with trails on Pedro Point Headlands. The Headlands will be managed for habitat protection and public enjoyment.
Beaches
PACIFICA STATE BEACH
Pacifica State Beach, stretching more than a half mile between Pedro Point and the Rockaway Headlands, Aramai Point, is one of the most popular surfing and beach bathing spots in the San Francisco area. By a 2005 estimate, more than one million visitors use Pacifica State Beach every year. Most of the beach and dunes are owned by the State and are part of the state parks system, but are managed by the City of Pacifica. Improvements completed in 2004 included rehabilitation of the Linda Mar Sewage Pumping Station, wetlands restoration, shoreline protection, dune restoration, improvements to the Coastal Trail, and new public restrooms.

Rockaway Beach
Rockaway Beach lies on a small bay between rocky headlands. The north end of the beach may be accessed from a seafront plaza at the end of Rockaway Beach Avenue. A parking lot connects the south end of the beach to a new segment of the Coastal Trail crossing the Headlands between Rockaway Beach and Pacifica State Beach. The new section of Coastal Trail along Calera Creek can be reached from the south end of Rockaway Beach.
SHARP PARK BEACH AND PACIFICA PIER
Sharp Park Beach extends from Mori Point along the west side of the Sharp Park levee to the West Sharp Park neighborhood. The southern section is owned by the City and County of San Francisco as part of Sharp Park, while the northern portion is owned by the State. The beach is open to the public, and is popular for walking. It is reached from the south from a small trailhead at Mori Point, and from the north at the Beach Boulevard Promenade, where public parking is available. The Promenade also provides access to Pacifica Pier, where crabbing and fishing are popular activities.
Open Space Task Force Recommendation
An Open Space Task Force, convened by City Council in 1984 “to identify, prioritize, and seek means for long-range preservation of significant open space in Pacifica,” identified 51 properties as priorities for preservation. Preservation strategies include public acquisition of land or conservation easements; General Plan and zoning changes; use of Transfer of Development Rights; and action by a local land trust. The Open Space Task Force recommendations include land that has been permanently preserved since the Report was produced. Land on Mori Point, Pedro Point Headlands, the Northern Coastal Bluffs, Esplanade Bluff, Sharp Park Beach, and Pacifica State Beach were acquired by land trusts, the City of Pacifica, the California Coastal Conservancy, or the National Park Service for conservation.
Priorities for Regional Park Land in the Planning Area
The General Plan identifies land on the Northern Coastal Bluffs and the bluffs along Esplanade Avenue as priorities for permanent conservation because of the presence of sensitive natural communities and the risks of development along the coast. This land may be managed by GGNRA, the City, or others, with development rights transferred with use of the City's TDR program.
On a variety of other sites shown on Figure 3-1 as “Partial Conservation with Development,” open space is expected to be preserved as part of development.
City Parks and Playfields
Section 30252 of the Coastal Act states that new development along the coast should ensure that the recreational needs of new residents will not overload coastal recreation areas.
City parks and school playfields provide active use areas and areas for local passive enjoyment for Pacifica residents. These include district parks, neighborhood parks, pocket parks, special facilities, and school grounds. City parks and school grounds in the Coastal Zone total approximately 10 acres.
The Coastal Zone includes one neighborhood park, Fairmont West, which covers five acres and includes a soccer field, basketball hoops, and public restrooms. Palmetto Mini-Park provides a small playlot for the West Sharp Park neighborhood, while more ample playfields are available for afterschool use at Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School.

The most prominent City of Pacifica recreational facilities in the Coastal Zone are Beach Boulevard Promenade and the Pacifica Municipal Pier. Beach Boulevard Promenade is located above the seawall in the West Sharp Park neighborhood. It is served by public parking, and is popular for walking and jogging. The Promenade provides access to the Pacifica Pier and Sharp Park Beach.
Pacifica Municipal Pier, built in 1973, is one of the Bay Area’s most popular places to fish. No fishing license is needed, and several types of fish can be caught from the pier. The pier is adjacent to the Promenade and picnic area along Beach Boulevard. A café is located at the foot of the pier.
Park Standards
The City’s park standards are intended to meet the needs for active and passive recreation and enjoyment of Pacifica residents and visitors over the planning period. Pacifica requires developers to dedicate land or pay an in-lieu fee to provide park land at a ratio of five acres per 1,000 residents. All residents should be within a short walk (one-quarter to one-half mile) of either a neighborhood park or usable outdoor area at a school site, but not necessarily both.
Parks and Recreation Priorities
According to the California Parks and Recreation Society, the most valued feature of parks is the preservation of and access to outdoor spaces, particularly minimally-developed areas in a nearly natural state and areas with facilities for children’s play and for exercise and group sports. Parks also provide a sense of social connectedness.5 The desire for natural areas is abundantly met in Pacifica.
While Pacifica has a good inventory of park land, some built-out neighborhoods with limited existing parkland may experience increasing in-fill density, leading to unique park needs. Because population growth is expected to be slow during the planning period, little new land is needed (an estimated 13 acres citywide). Additionally, fFiscal constraints, meanwhile, make park maintenance a challenge in the future. Pacifica is likely to focus on solutions to address park access in built-out neighborhoods, such as rooftop parks or public plazas, enhancing existing parks, and evaluating opportunities to create new parks on underused public land and as part of new development. Opportunity sites for new parks and park improvements are shown in Figure 3-2. 5 California Park & Recreation Society. Market Research to Support CRPS Building the Brand Initiative. March 2009.

3.4 TRAIL SYSTEM
Trails play an important role in enhancing the recreational use of the coastline. Coastal Act provisions call for upland areas necessary to support coastal recreational uses to be preserved (Section 30223).
Existing Trails in the Planning Area
The Pacifica Planning Area has 67 miles of trails through GGNRA land, in San Pedro Valley County Park, and along the coast, including segments along City streets. Historically, the City has sought to create a system that includes a coastal trail, a ridgeline trail, and lateral trails connecting the ridgeline to the coast, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Coastal Trail
Pacifica's Coastal Trail currently runs almost the length of the Planning Area, from the Daly City boundary to Pedro Point Shopping Center. The route follows Palmetto Avenue alongside the Northern Coastal Bluffs, turns onto Esplanade Avenue through the West Edgemar-Pacific Manor neighborhood, and follows Palmetto again through West Sharp Park. The trail then branches into two parallel routes. The western route travels along the levee between Sharp Park Golf Course and Sharp Park Beach, and then east along the north side of Mori Point. The eastern route follows Francisco Boulevard south, meeting the other trail at the Mori Point trailhead. From this point, the Coastal Trail follows a path alongside Highway 1 and then arcs west along the restored section of Calera Creek in the Rockaway Quarry site. After a short on-street segment in the Rockaway Beach district, the trail follows a path over the Rockaway HeadlandsAramai Point and then along the inland side of the dunes at Pacifica State Beach. The trail currently comes to an end at the south end of the beach.
The City in 2015 acquired an approximately five acre parcel in the Pedro Point Headlands, known as the Colt property, which provided a critical link to other publicallypublicly-owned land in the Headlands. As a result, it should be possible to construct a trail west of Highway 1 to extend the Coastal Trail from its current terminus southward through the Pedro Point Headlands to connect with the Devil’s Slide Trail.
Ridge Trails
Lateral trail connections to the Bay Area Ridge Trail along Sweeney Ridge exist along Milagra Ridge, Mori Ridge and Cattle Hill. Trailheads with parking lots are at Milagra Ridge, Skyline College, Sneath Lane, Devil’s Slide, and Shelldance Nursery off of Highway 1. Connections between the Coastal Trail and the Ridge trails are currently lacking.

Pedro Point Headlands
Trails at Pedro Point bring hikers from a trailhead on Highway 1 to an overlook point and to Pedro Summit. They are minimally improved, although the trailhead created with the opening of the Devil’s Slide Tunnels in 2014 has created a new public parking lot. As mentioned above, a trail connection is planned to fill the gap in the Coastal Trail between Pedro Point Shopping Center and Devil’s Slide Trail.
Trailheads and Parking Areas
Existing trailheads in the Coastal Zone exist at the Beach Boulevard Promenade; Mori’s Point Road; Shelldance Nursery; Rockaway Beach; and Pacifica State Beach. Planning Area trails also can be reached from trailheads east of the ridge at Skyline College and at Sneath Lane. A trailhead with parking exists on Highway 1 approaching Devil’s Slide Trail.
Priorities for Enhancing Pacifica's Trail System
Developing an integrated trail system, as proposed in this Plan, will enhance access to and enjoyment of Pacifica's natural resources for both residents and visitors. It will make possible a variety of loop walks taking in a diversity of scenery and connecting large open spaces with Pacifica’s activity centers.
The trail system will function both as a system with a Pacifica identity, and as a link in regional and state trail systems.
The Plan proposes four areas of improvement. First, new trail segments are needed to connect the Coastal and Ridge trails and to provide better access to and through Pacifica's neighborhoods.
Second, new and improved, wildlife-friendly crossings of Highway 1 are needed to make the new trail connections work. Third, new trailheads and improvements are needed to assure access at locations that reinforce existing activity centers. And fourth, a signage and wayfinding program is proposed to make the overall system legible both as a Pacifica system and as part of the California Coastal Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail.

3.5 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
As with the multi-use trail system described above, bicycle facilities expand access to the coastline for both local residents and recreational users, and support Coastal Act provisions for recreational use of upland areas (Section 30223) and maintenance and enhancement of public access (Section 30252).
Bicycle Circulation
Pacifica’s highly scenic setting, recreational amenities, and connections to major regional open spaces and trails make it ideal for recreational bicycle riding, and for local trips along the coastline or in the valley neighborhoods. However, the network of bicycle routes is inconsistently developed and not always well marked.
The proposed bicycle system, shown in Figure 3-4, is a critical component of the circulation network. It shows both bicycle routes and improved signage to improve access and safety. It provides bicyclists with a complete network of continuous and safe access along the coastal corridor and between neighborhoods. These designations support the City of Pacifica2020 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
The Bicycle System includes fourthree types of bikeway classifications, consistent with Chapter 1000 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual:
• Class I facilities (bike paths or trails) are paved trails wholly separated from the street. They allow two-way travel by people bicycling and walking, and are often considered the most comfortable facilities for children and inexperienced riders as there are few potential conflicts between people bicycling and people driving. have exclusive right-of-way, are separated from roads, and exclude general motor vehicle traffic.
• Class II facilities (bike lanes) are marked by painted stripes on the roadway. While the striping provides preferred space for bicycles, they are still part of the paved road and are not exclusive for bicycles.
• Class III facilities (bike routes) share traffic lanes with automobiles and are only identified by signage.
• Class IV facilities (separated bikeways) are for the exclusive use of bicycles and includes a separation required between the separated bikeway and the through vehicular traffic. The separation may include, but is not limited to, grade separation, flexible posts, inflexible posts, inflexible barriers, or on-street parking.

3-27
North-South Bikeway
Pacifica’s north-south bikeway primarily runs parallel to and along SR 1. The northern segment includes a Class III facility (a signed bike route) along Esplanade Avenue, a Class II facility (bike lane) along Esplanade and Palmetto Avenues, and another stretch of Class III bike route on Francisco Boulevard to Mori Point Road and State Route 1. At this point, the bikeway becomes a Class I facility (bike path) between Mori’s Point Road and Reina del Mar Avenue. From here, the northsouth bike route goes along a Class I facility along Calera Creek through the Rockaway Quarry site to Rockaway Beach. From here the route has two branches: a bike path over the Rockaway Headlands and along the dunes from Rockaway Beach to Pacifica State Beach; and an unofficial route with a 9- foot-wide striped lane along SR 1. An enhanced north-south bikeway following Plan policies will provide options for more direct travel on major roadways, or more sheltered travel on Class I facilities or low-traffic streets.
Other Bikeways
A Class II (striped bike lane) and Class III (signed bike route) facility runs east-west along Sharp Park Road between SR 1 and SR 35, providing a primary connection to the coastline from the east. Sharp Park Road has a continuous eastbound bike lane; the westbound bike lane currently exists only between College Drive and SR 35. No immediate bikeway improvements are proposed for the eastwest route along Sharp Park Road.
A series of additional bikeways are proposed to serve the Sharp Park, Vallemar, Rockaway Beach, Linda Mar, and Pedro Point neighborhoods. These routes are planned to provide convenient access to most Pacifica residents, to follow streets with gradual slopes, and to use through streets with adequate right-of-way for bicycle facilities where possible. Proposed routes within the Coastal Zone are shown on Figure 3-4.
Bicycle Parking and Amenities
As of 2000, there were 24 bike racks in Pacifica with a combined capacity for 130 bikes. Facilities are an essential component of Pacifica’s bicycle network. End-of-trip facilities include bicycle parking (short-term and long-term parking), self-repair stations, and lockers and changing areas in existing or new buildings. Outdoor facilities, especially bicycle parking, is an important factor because potential users may be less likely to complete a trip by bicycle if they do not believe they have a safe and secure location to lock their bike.
Current bicycle parking is limited in Pacifica. Bike racks are close to most major destinations along the two bike routes, but are not present at Rockaway Beach, the beach access location at the end of Esplanade Avenue, in the Pedro Point area, at some of the public schools, or in the Pacific Manor commercial area. Improved parking and amenities will increase the comfort and appeal of biking in Pacifica during the planning period.
Pedestrian Circulation
Walking is a basic and often overlooked part of all trips that also involve transit or automobiles.
Walking can be ideal for short, local trips for shopping, school, and recreation. Adequate facilities for pedestrians help to ensure access to and along the coast. This section focuses on pedestrian facilities

that support comfortable and safe day-to-day pedestrian travel. See Section 3.4 for a discussion of the trail system in Pacifica, and Section 3.6 for a discussion of complete streets.
Sidewalks and Crosswalks
Where sidewalks are present in Pacifica, they are generally between five and 10 feet wide and in good condition. Crosswalks are provided at all studied intersections with appropriate striping and, where appropriate, pedestrian signals. Under the Plan, pedestrian facilities will be improved and enhanced, especially where pedestrian activity is a priority. Pedestrian Priority Zones are shown on Figure 3-5, Roadway Network and Planned Improvements.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossings of Highway 1
Along SR 1, there are five east-west crossings for automobiles, pedestrians and bikes, at Gateway Drive, Manor Drive, Paloma Avenue, Clarendon Road, and Sharp Park Road. In addition, there are pedestrian/bicycle overcrossings at Milagra Drive and San Jose Avenue, and an undercrossing at Sharp Park Golf Course.

3.6 ROADWAY NETWORK AND PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
Section 30254 of the Coastal Act states that new or expanded public works facilities must be designed and limited to accommodate needs generated by development or uses permitted consistent with the Coastal Act.
Roadway Network
Three major routes connect Pacifica to the rest of the region. State Route (SR) 1 (Coast Highway) traverses the City from north to south, connecting Pacifica to Daly City and San Francisco to the north, and to Half Moon Bay and the San Mateo County coastline to the south, and providing continuous access to the Pacifica coast. SR 35 (Skyline Boulevard) generally runs along the eastern edge of Pacifica, and is a major north-south route connecting to Santa Clara County and San Francisco. Sharp Park Road follows a southwest-northeast route through the center of Pacifica, connecting SR 1 with SR 35. It continues east of SR 35 in South San Francisco as Westborough Boulevard. Each of these major roadways intersects with I-280, an eight-lane major regional freeway on the Peninsula located between one-half and two miles from the Planning Area.
Roadway Classification
Pacifica’s roadway network is comprised of freeways, highways, arterials, collector streets and local streets. Each classification reflects the character of the roadway as well as its function within the context of the circulation system. Figure 3-5 illustrates the roadway network with street classifications.

Mode Priorities
Table 3-3 shows generally how vehicle modes of travel are accommodated on each type of roadway with the City. This table provides a guide for how future roadway improvements should help to produce a complete streets network in Pacifica, with different roadways balancing needs differently to create a system that functions optimally for all users.

Streetscape Improvements in Pedestrian Priority Zones
Pedestrian Ppriority zonesAreas (PPAs), shown on Figure 3-5, are areas within proximity to one or more schools, trailheads, and a crossing of Highway 1 that have potential to generate substantial volumes of pedestrians. While pedestrian improvements are not limited to within these areas, areas with highest needs include the Manor, Sharp Park, Vallemar/Fairway Park, and Linda Mar PPAs.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan provides specific recommendations for each PPA, but pedestrian infrastructure improvements fall into six general categories, including pavement markings; pedestrian-actuated beacons; street furniture; sidewalks, trails, and medians; intersection and street design; and studies. in which high volumes of pedestrian traffic are encouraged and accommodated along the sidewalk. They include portions of Palmetto Avenue, Esplanade Avenue, and other streets in mixed use areas. Sidewalks should be a minimum of eight feet wide with ample pedestrian amenities such as street furniture and wayfinding signs, and a consistent street tree theme. Building frontages should provide a high level of pedestrian interest, with ample windows, doors and architectural articulation. Pedestrian crossings should have a high priority at intersections, with curb bulb-outs at key intersections. In some locations, well-protected mid-block crosswalks may be appropriate. These areas may also feature distinctive lighting, public art, and bicycle facilities at appropriate locations, and stormwater management features.
The City of Pacifica has made public realm improvements in Rockaway Beach and completed the first phase of is currently undertaking a streetscape improvement program for Palmetto Avenue, from Clarendon Road north to Paloma Avenue in 2017. Improvements included additions of new bikeways with green pavement markings, landscaping and bulbouts, lighting, and undergrounding utilities. The Sharp Park Specific Plan includes several policies to further enhance the comfort, atmosphere, and navigability of the streetscape for pedestrians and bicyclists within the Sharp Park neighborhood. During the planning period, additional attention will be paid to streetscape improvements in the City’s mixed use centers and visitor-oriented commercial areas.

Roadway Improvements and Complete Streets
Roadway improvements will follow design standards for each roadway classification that take into account a facility’s relation to the larger circulation system; appropriate travel speeds; surrounding land uses; conditions for managing local access; safety; and mode priority, as described in this chapter. These standards will be based on “Complete Streets” concepts, and State and federal requirements for “routine accommodation” of cyclists and pedestrians. They will be flexible enough to adopt the latest and best ideas, and allowing for adjustment to existing right-of-way and special circumstances.

Many roadways in Pacifica offer opportunities for redesign of the existing right-of-way to balance the needs of all users and create a safer and more attractive public realm. Roadway improvements that do not require adjustments to curbs may involve the narrowing of travel lanes to a more compact 10 or 11 feet to accommodate bicycle lanes, or the conversion of four-lane streets to three lanes, with one travel lane in each direction and a continuous center left-turn lane.
Level of Service Standards
Level of Service (LOS) is a measure of the degree of vehicle congestion that occurs during peak travel periods and is the traditional measure of roadway and intersection performance. Level of Service can range from “A” representing free-flow conditions, to “F” representing extremely long delays. LOS B and C signify stable conditions with acceptable delays. LOS D is typically considered acceptable for a peak hour in urban areas. LOS E is approaching capacity and LOS F represents conditions at or above capacity.
In Pacifica’s Coastal Zone, the most critical congestion occurs on SR 1, where certain intersections and roadway segments currently operate at LOS E or F during peak periods. The City’s policy is to limit further deterioration of traffic conditions by evaluating the significance of impacts of new development on highway congestion, and requiring mitigation to maintain, if possible, LOS D for City streets and the LOS standards set by the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) for roadway segments included in the San Mateo County Congestion Management Program (CMP).
Multi-Modal Level of Service
To apply the Complete Streets framework, this Plan identifies qualitative indicators that may be used to prioritize improvements and evaluate projects, for all users, including transit riders, pedestrians, and cyclists, based on the National Cooperative Highway Research Program.6 An LOS grade is established for each mode, based on the user’s perceptions of the quality of service provided by the street. These grades correspond to numerical scores, which are calculated using a variety of inputs that cover the facility design, facility controls, and volumes by mode. The thresholds for each grade are shown in Table 3-4.

Planned Improvements
The City currently has two one roadway improvement projects in the planning stage in the Coastal Zone. These improvements are related as part of the Manor Drive Overcrossing project, described below and shown in Figure 3-5. Other improvements to the roadway network are expected to be needed during the planning period to achieve a balance between existing and future land use and traffic carrying capacity.
Manor Drive Overcrossing
The Manor Drive overcrossing is planned to be widened, and signal control is recommended to be added at the intersections of Manor Drive with Oceana Boulevard and Palmetto Avenue. This project includes a new on-ramp to SR 1 from Oceana Boulevard at Milagra Drive, though other alternatives that achieve similar congestion relief objectives are also being considered.
Additional Improvements to Accommodate Buildout
Additional improvements are justified based on the analysis of existing and projected future traffic conditions with projected growth during the planning period, compared to the City’s level of service standards. For example, signal optimization at the intersection of Linda Mar Boulevard and SR 1 would be calibrated to improve traffic conditions during peak hours. These potential additional improvements should be considered in coordination with Caltrans and the County of San Mateo.
Policies

consistency with the Regional Transportation Plan, the Congestion Management Program, and other regional actions.
PR-G-22 Walkable Neighborhoods. Improve pedestrian amenities to create more walkable neighborhoods, especially in mixed use activity centers and around schools.
PR-G-23 Abandonment of Public Rights-of-Way. Ensure that abandonment or vacation of public rights-of-way does not adversely impact coastal access or emergency access.
Implementing Policies
COMPLETE STREETS IMPLEMENTATION
PR-I-54 Connective Street Network. Require new streets created as part of new development to continue existing street patterns, and include stub access points to adjacent undeveloped areas.
PR-I-55 Complete Streets Design Approach. Update the City’s engineering design standards to implement Complete Streets concepts, and include Complete Streets design principles in the planning of all circulation improvement projects. These principles include, but are not limited to:
• Maximizing connections with the existing circulation network; • Minimizing ingress and egress points and consolidating entries; • Providing public transit facilities and improvements; • Providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities (bike lanes and sidewalks); • Minimizing pedestrian crossing distances by providing curb extensions; medians with safety refuges, and other treatments;
• Improving safety by providing lighting and traffic calming devices for residential streets;
• Including landscaping (trees, medians, key intersections and gateways); • Providing appropriate signage, including street signs, entry signs, directional signs, and coastal access identification signs;
• Providing street furniture; and
• Maintaining on-street parking.
Any proposed development or transportation project that does not adequately incorporate Complete Streets concepts should be supported by findings of why all travel modes have not been accommodated. The Complete Streets approach should be applied to new roadway construction as well as to retrofit projects.

3-37
PR-I-56 Complete Streets in the Project Development Process. Incorporate complete streets concepts at each stage of the development process for projects affecting the right-of-way, including the following:
• As part of design review, both at Phase I and Phase II, require documentation of how the “routine accommodation” of bicyclists and pedestrians has been satisfied in planning and design;
• During project review and approval, ensure that the objectives and purpose are consistent with MTC directives on Complete Streets and Routine Accommodation;
• For projects subject to MTC’s Resolution 3765, as amended, work with MTC to secure approval of the Complete Streets checklist and submittal to MTC of all required documents.
Integrating Complete Streets considerations should require only minor additions to normal design, acquisitions, and approval guidelines.
PR-I-57 Roadway Retrofits. Identify opportunities to retrofit existing roadways to create complete streets, giving priority to arterial and collector streets where travel lanes may be narrowed or where four lanes may be converted to three, including a center left turn lane, with bicycle facilities added in both cases.
Palmetto Avenue and Esplanade Avenue may present opportunities for roadway retrofits.
Roadway retrofits will also help to complete the bicycle network, as described in Section 5.4, and provide safety for cyclists. Ten- and eleven-foot travel lanes are often acceptable for auto and transit use, respectively, without adversely affecting capacity. Roadway retrofits will require additional analysis.
PR-I-58 Streetscape in Mixed Use Areas. Require pedestrian-oriented amenities and design in visitor-oriented commercial and mixed use areas, including wider sidewalks, curb bulb-outs at key intersections, outdoor seating, and public art.
Priority streetscapes include Palmetto between Paloma and Clarendon; Montecito, Santa Rosa, and San Jose Avenues in West Sharp Park; Rockaway Beach Avenue and Dondee Way in Rockaway Beach; and Manor Drive and Aura Vista Drive in West Edgemar-Pacific Manor.
PR-I-59 Block Size and Maximum Street Spacing. For new development at the Quarry site, require streets to be designed to maximize connectivity for automobiles, cyclists, and pedestrians, with blocks between 200 and 600 feet in length. Provide mid-block pedestrian connections where blocks exceed 500 feet in length.
The intent of these standards is to prevent development of introverted neighborhoods, provide flexibility in circulation, and promote access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

PR-I-60 Roadway Abandonment/Vacation and Public Access. Do not abandon, vacate, or render unusable any City-owned right-of-way, unless necessary for reasons of public safety or environmental conservation. Whenever public roadways are proposed to be abandoned, assess the value of maintaining public pedestrian and/or bicycle access, especially where coastal access can be maintained or improved.
Abandonment/vacation of any public right-of-way that may negatively affect coastal resources or public access to the sea will require a coastal development permit. Any public right-of-way that cannot be maintained in a condition suitable for public use shall be offered to another public agency or private association that agrees to maintain the right-of-way for public use.
PR-I-61 Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Create and solicit input from a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) on planning and funding for transportation improvement projects
PR-I-62 Sharp Park Area Public Realm. Use development guidelines and design standards specified in the Sharp Park Specific Plan to expand the improvements completed as part of Phase I of the Palmetto Streetscape Plan. These improvements will upgrade the appearance and function of Palmetto Avenue and connecting streets and make them more attractive to pedestrians.
PR-I-63 Additional Pedestrian Facilities on Large Sites. Enhance the pedestrian network with an interconnected system of walkways, continuous sidewalks on both sides of the street, and pedestrian crossings as part of higher-intensity redevelopment of large sites.
PR-I-64 Universal Design. Require all pedestrian facilities to be ADA compliant and accessible to persons with disabilities.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO EASE CONGESTION AND IMPROVE LEVEL OF SERVICE PR-I-65 SR 1 Improvements Between South of Fassler and North of Reina del Mar.
Continue to work with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) to improve operations along SR 1. Strategies could include installation of a pedestrian overcrossing, allowing for safer grade-separated crossings of pedestrians.
Improvements to SR 1 should alleviate traffic congestion between north of Reina del Mar and south of Fassler Avenue while minimizing environmental impacts and impacts to adjacent land uses, ensuring adequate local access, and enhancing the community’s image.
PR-I-66 SR 1 and Linda Mar Operations. Work with San Mateo County to evaluate, design and implement improvements to the intersection of Linda Mar Boulevard and SR 1. Improvements that would mitigate regional growth may include providing a westbound right turn overlap phase and increasing the overall cycle length, if warranted.

PR-I-67 Manor Drive Overcrossing Improvements. Complete planned improvements to the Manor Drive overcrossing to facilitate traffic movement across SR 1 for all modes.
Improvements should include widening of the overcrossing, possible signal control at the intersections of Manor Drive with Palmetto Avenue and Oceana Boulevard., and a new on-ramp to SR 1 from Oceana Boulevard at Milagra Drive. Additional alternatives that achieve similar or greater congestion relief objectives should also be considered.
PR-I-68 Strategies to Reduce School-Related Peak Hour Auto Congestion. Work with Pacifica School District and Jefferson Union High School District to promote adoption of staggered hours, car-pooling, and use of transit to reduce traffic congestion during peak hours.
This policy applies especially to Vallemar School and the Pacifica School District offices, where trips contribute to traffic congestion around SR 1 and Reina del Mar Avenue.
3.7 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Section 30252 of the Coastal Act states that new development should maintain and enhance access along the coast by facilitating transit service and providing adequate parking or providing a substitute means of serving the development with public transportation, among other means.
Pacifica’s location at the edge of the metropolitan area and its relatively low density makes extensive transit service or use challenging. Just one percent of all trips to or from Pacifica are made using transit. While as much as four percent of trips between Pacifica and San Francisco are made by transit, only a fraction (under 0.5 percent) of trips within Pacifica are transit trips. Growth during the planning period is expected to be limited, but the LCLUP aims to concentrate new development in mixed use, transit-accessible locations.

Transit Service
The San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) provides bus service throughout San Mateo County and into San Francisco and Palo Alto. SamTrans provides local service in Pacifica as well as service to and from BART and Caltrain stations. In 2021, the City of Pacifica adopted Resolution No. 18-2021 supporting Seamless Transit Principles, seven guiding principles that seek to create a unified, easy-to-use, accessible system across all Bay Area transit networks.
Bus Routes
As of 2019, nine SamTrans bus routes serve Pacifica’s Coastal Zone (see Figure 3-6). • Routes 14 and 16 make loops through the southern and northern areas of Pacifica serving shopping areas, schools, and services.
• Routes 19 and 49 provide service on school days to serve students. Route 19 makes loops through southern Pacifica and up to Ingrid B Lacy Middle School, and Route 49 connects northern Pacifica to Terra Nova High School.
• Routes 110 and 112 provide service between the Highway 1 corridor in Pacifica and the Daly City and Colma BART stations, respectively. Both terminate at Linda Mar Shopping Center. • Route 118 provides service to Colma BART station during the AM and PM peak hour periods of weekdays.
• Route 121 runs through Pacifica’s northern upland neighborhoods, serving Fairmont Shopping Center and providing connections to Skyline College in San Bruno, Serramonte Shopping Center and Seton Medical Center in Daly City, and the Daly City and Colma BART stations. • Route 140 connects the Pacific Manor shopping center on Palmetto Avenue and Manor Drive to Skyline College and the San Bruno BART station to the east. It extends to Terra Nova High School on school days to serve students.
• Route 294 17 connects the Linda Mar Park and Ride to Half Moon Bay and the Hillsdale Caltrain station in San Mateo.
Dial-a-Ride Service
All SamTrans buses are accessible to persons with disabilities. The San Mateo County Transit District also operates dial-a-ride (or paratransit) service for persons who cannot use fixed-route bus service.
Paratransit service in the Planning Area is called RediCoast.
SamTrans OnDemand
In 2019, SamTrans initiated the SamTrans OnDemand rideshare service pilot in the Linda Mar neighborhood in Pacifica. The service offers point-to-point shuttle service within the coverage area for the standard SamTrans fare. Trips can be booked via a smartphone app or through the SamTrans Customer Service Call Center.
Planned Transit Improvements
In Summer 2019, the San Mateo County Transit District launched Reimagine SamTrans, a comprehensive operational analysis (COA) to redesign the entire SamTrans bus system. Reimagine SamTrans began its work by evaluating every element of the SamTrans system to identify improvements to local and regional travel connections, route design, how often the buses run, best

practices for operations and public health, and more. Reimagine SamTrans utilized data and public input to pinpoint the strengths and challenges in the current bus system. The recommended SamTrans changes are slated to be adopted in Winter 2021 and implemented in summer 2022.
Changes include shortening of Route 112 to provide more streamlined service; elimination of the FLX Pacifica route, to be covered by Route 110; and direct service on Route 118 to/from Daly City BART only. Regular service updates to SamTrans bus lines are expected as part of an overall system efficiency plan, but no large-scale improvements are expected. Neither BART nor Caltrain have planned improvements that would change service levels in the vicinity of Pacifica.
Park-and-Ride Facilities
Commuter parking is provided at the park-and-ride lot on Linda Mar Boulevard., shown on Figure 3-
6. The lot currently has capacity for 70 vehicles.

3.8 PARKING
Section 30252 of the Coastal Act states that new development should maintain and enhance access along the coast by providing adequate parking or providing a substitute means of serving the development with public transportation, among other means. Section 30212.5 directs that public facilities, including parking areas, shall be distributed so as to mitigate against any impacts related to overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area.
Parking policies are intended to accommodate parked vehicles used by occupants, visitors, customers, clientele, and employees of a variety of buildings in the City. These policies seek to provide accessible, attractive, secured parking facilities, and to ensure adequate access to beaches and recreational open spaces along the coastline.
On-Street Parking
On-street parking is an important contributor to a street’s functionality. On-street parking is permitted on most residential streets in Pacifica. It is allowed and encouraged on collector streets, and on most arterials in pedestrian-oriented commercial areas. On-street parking can complement both automobile and pedestrian use, and provide a buffer between the two. On-street parking is not permitted on high-traffic roadways such as SR 1, where smooth traffic flow is prioritized.
Off-Street Parking
The City requires off-street parking and loading facilities for all new developments.
Off-street parking is available in public lots in the Planning Area that serve commuters, beach visitors and visitors to recreational open space areas.
• Commuter parking is provided at the park-and-ride lot on Linda Mar Boulevard. • Public parking lots for beach visitors exist at Pacifica State Beach, Rockaway Beach, and Sharp Park Beach and Promenade. The public parking lot on Crespi Drive serves the Community Center as well as beach visitors.
• The Northern Coastal Bluffs and the Esplanade bluff are publicly protected open space with limited trail or beach access, and are served by on-street parking. • Trailhead parking is provided on GGNRA land at Shelldance Nursery.
Parking for open space and beach users is shown on Figure 3-3, Trails and Parking Areas. Table 3-5 provides a current inventory of off-street parking for beach visitors in the Planning Area. While the Crespi Drive beach visitor lot is outside the Coastal Zone, it is an important source of parking for coastal and recreational users.

In 2009, parking lots at Pacifica State Beach were 60 to 70 percent full on weekdays and full on weekends, year-round. On hot days, the lots are generally full on any day of the week, while on days with strong winds or rain the lots are 10 to 25 percent full. The lot at Crespi Drive and Highway 1 is 30 to 50 percent full on weekdays in the winter, early spring, and late fall, and 40 to 60 percent full on weekdays during late spring, summer, and early fall. On weekends, this lot is 50 to 60 percent full during the cooler seasons and 60 to 80 percent full during the warmer seasons.7 In summer 2013, Pacifica State Beach began a parking program, wherein a parking receipt or pass is required to park in both the north and south Pacifica State Beach parking lots on Highway 1, the Crespi Drive lot, and SR 1 adjacent to the Pacifica Community Center. Recently constructed parking areas include a lot at the north tunnel entrance at Devil’s Slide, enhanced visitor services at Shelldance Nursery provide access to GGNRA lands. In the future, the public parking area at Sharp Park Beach/Pacifica Pier may be reconfigured as part of redevelopment of the former Wastewater Treatment Plant site.
The City should support the development of centralized off-street parking facilities in areas with multiple attractions or where pedestrian and bicycle circulation patterns should be prioritized.
Centralized off-street parking facilities can increase the efficiency of parking for visitors to attractions and can minimize the number of curb cuts for driveways which can disrupt safe pedestrian and bicycle circulation. One tool to accomplish development of centralized off-street parking facilities is payment of in-lieu parking fees by developers. In 2020, the City Council updated the fee for the Rockaway Beach Specific Plan area and enacted a new in-lieu parking fee for the Sharp Park Specific Plan area.
A new parking area serving coastal and recreational visitors has been created near the north tunnel entrance at Devil’s Slide, serving the new trail system at Devil’s Slide and Pedro Point Headlands.
Enhanced visitor services at Shelldance Nursery providing access to GGNRA lands will include expansion of the parking area. Finally, the public parking area at Sharp Park Beach/Pacifica Pier may be reconfigured as part of redevelopment of the former Wastewater Treatment Plant site.

4.1 COASTAL ACT FRAMEWORK
The California Coastal Act provides extensive policies concerning the protection, use, and experience of the coastal environment. Policies from Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act which are most relevant to the subject matter of this chapter include, but are not limited to, the policies listed below. Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, available in Appendix A, is incorporated by reference into this chapter.
Coastal Act Policies

4.2 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Under the Coastal Act, marine resources are to be “maintained, enhanced, and where feasible, restored” (Section 30230). This is to be achieved by controlling the quality of runoff, supporting natural infiltration and similar means (Section 30231); protecting against oil and gas spills or leaks (Section 30232); and minimizing diking, dredging, or filling of coastal water, including wetlands (Section 30233).
Pacifica’s water resources are unique and numerous, and they provide important benefits to the city, including wildlife habitat, scenic natural corridors, and flood control. Careful management of urban waterways ensures maintenance of water quality, preservation of ecological functions, and safety of surrounding development.
Understanding Pacifica’s surface water and groundwater resources provides a context for policies for hydrology, water quality, and management.
Surface Water
The City of Pacifica’s Coastal Zone is part of eight watersheds, shown on Figure 4-1, Hydrology. The watersheds largely drains west towards the Pacific Ocean. From north to south, the major watersheds are Milagra Creek, Sanchez Creek (also known as Sharp Park Creek), Calera Creek, and San Pedro Creek.1 A small portion of the watersheds drains to the east, contributing to the upper basin of San Mateo Creek watershed.
Some of the watersheds drain directly into the ocean, while others feed one of five . From north to south, these are Milagra Creek, Sanchez Creek (also known as Sharp Park Creek), Calera Creek, Rockaway Creek, and San Pedro Creek.
Milagra Creek
Milagra Creek drains approximately 460 acres. The drainage area has varied land cover types, including undeveloped portions of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), and relatively dense residential and commercial development near Highway 1. Milagra Creek has intermittent flow in most years.
The lower reaches of Milagra Creek have been altered and the channel hardened in the Coastal Zone reach below Highway 1 to the ocean.
Sanchez Creek
Sanchez Creek watershed, located almost entirely within the City, drains approximately 1,070 acres. Most of the steep hillsides and higher elevations are GGNRA protected open space, while valley bottoms and flatter portions of the hillsides include residential development, Highway 1, and Sharp Park Golf Course. Sanchez Creek has intermittent flow in most years.
At its mouth within the Coastal Zone, Sanchez Creek flows through Horse Stable Pond and exchanges water with Laguna Salada within the Sharp Park Golf Course. Creek flow is then conveyed through a levee to the ocean via a system of pipes. The discharge point of the pipe(s) is often buried in beach sands and is occasionally excavated to allow for free drainage. During high flows, water from the golf course is pumped over the levee into the ocean. There are also several depressional and formerly estuarine wetlands near the mouth of Sanchez Creek at Horse Stable Pond and Laguna Salada.

Calera Creek
Calera Creek drains approximately 1,600 acres in the central portion of the City, via two forks: a main channel onto the north, and a smaller southern fork, referred to as Rockaway CreekBeach. Land use is dominated by residential neighborhoods with some businesses along main roads. The contributing area of Calera Creek is altered along the valley bottom and near the mouth. The City of Pacifica’s wastewater treatment plant is located near the mouth of Calera Creek, west of Highway 1.
The lower reach of Calera Creek, in the Coastal Zone, was part of a significant restoration project implemented in 1997 and 1998, which included excavation of a new stream channel, restoration of 16 acres of wetlands and 12 acres of surrounding uplands. The restoration site receives additional tertiary-treated wastewater from the Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant (CCWRP), adding approximately 3.6 million gallons per day (mgd) to the lower reach. The amount of flow generated by the CCWRP varies with rainfall and usage. The creek is now perennial in the lower reach due to the input from the CCWRP. The creek was likely intermittent in at least some years, and is still intermittent with residual pools above the CCWRP discharge point.
Rockaway Creek
Rockaway Creek is south of Calera Creek in the larger Calera Creek watershed. Rockaway Creek parallels Rockaway Beach Avenue, and flows into the southern end of Rockaway Beach. The upper portions of the watershed are primarily open space, while the valley bottom is comprised of a small residential area, which follows the creek.
San Pedro Creek
San Pedro Creek watershed is the largest in Pacifica, draining approximately 5,300 acres. The watershed extends north to Sweeney Ridge, east to Spring Valley Ridge, and south into the slopes of Montara Mountain.
San Pedro Creek has several tributaries extending past the City boundaries. These tributaries include the South Fork, Middle Fork, North Fork, and Brooks/Sanchez Creek.
San Pedro Creek supports anadromous steelhead trout, a federally-listed endangered species. This creek also has one of the only functioning estuaries between the Devil’s Slide area and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Wetlands along San Pedro Creek provide habitat for the threatened California red-legged frog.
The upper watershed is largely undeveloped, while the lower portion is highly developed with residential subdivisions and commercial shopping centers at Park Mall and near Highway 1. Alterations from historical agricultural and more recent urban development have resulted in a deep channel with steep banks. Channel downcutting and erosion throughout the reach has threatened roads and structures, as many residential lots back up against the creek. In order to protect the banks, formal and informal bank stabilization techniques have been installed over the years.
The City and stakeholders (including the California Coastal Conservancy, Go Native, the Pacifica Land Trust, the San Pedro Creek Watershed Coalition, the California Department of Fish and Game, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the State Water Resources Control Board, and the Pacifica Beach Coalition) have implemented restoration projects and clean-up efforts along the creek resulting in reduced flooding of homes and businesses, reduced erosion of Pacifica/Linda Mar State Beach, and the conservation habitat for steelhead trout.

Other creek restoration efforts included:
• Earthwork and planting completed in 2000 which established a more natural channel, improved flood storage, and restored ecosystem functioning.
• Installation of rock weirs in 2005 to stabilize the degrading channel bed, smooth the longitudinal profile, and improve fish passage further upstream at the Capistrano bridge

Groundwater
The 700-acre San Pedro Valley Groundwater Basin lies within the City. Alluvial deposits consisting primarily of clays, sands, silts, and some gravels are found throughout the majority of the basin and are the primary water-bearing formation in the Planning Area.
1 These deposits are approximately 150 feet thick or more.
Water quality, groundwater level, and groundwater storage data for the basin is minimal. The outflow of water from the aquifer occurs by evapotranspiration and seepage to streams, springs, and the ocean. The water table fluctuates seasonally.
In a 1992 study, groundwater wells in the City were monitored to determine the location of seasonally shallow groundwater. The groundwater was mapped for three depths below the ground surface: less than 1.5 feet; less than 3.0 feet; and less than 6.0 feet. Areas within the Coastal Zone with seasonally shallow groundwater include Pedro Point, Fairway Park, and Sharp Park.
Due to the existing development pattern in Pacifica where urbanized land uses are located in close proximity to creeks and streams, there are few areas outside of the creekbeds and streambeds themselves to establish groundwater recharge sites. Existing flood corridors such as lower San Pedro Creek and the surrounding riparian habitat have been designed through previous flood control projects to manage flood flows until water recedes, but have not been designed to retain flood water for the purpose of groundwater recharge. The sloping topography of much of the City also presents challenges to identifying suitable areas for stormwater collection and recharge of groundwater storage areas. The largest area of public land that may be topographically suitable to accommodate stormwater and floodwater for purposes of groundwater recharge and stormwater management is the Sharp Park Golf Course, owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco. The Laguna Salada is an existing water feature with varying water levels throughout the year.
However, the recreational uses of the remainder of the site preclude their function as a dedicated groundwater recharge site. There are no rivers located in Pacifica.
Wetlands
The Coastal Act defines wetlands as “lands within the coastal zone which may be covered periodically or permanently with shallow water and include saltwater marshes, freshwater marshes, open or closed brackish water marshes, swamps, mudflats, and fens” (Section 30121). Areas where the water table is at, near, or above the land surface at some time during each year may be identified as wetlands. The criteria for wetland boundary determinations are detailed in California Code of Regulations section 13577(b).
Seasonal wetlands occur in smaller drainages and localized depressions, forming ponds or flowing water, and are underlain by saturated soils during the winter and spring. Seasonal wetlands also occur along the banks and sediments that accumulate in creeks.
Wetlands in Pacifica are found along riparian areas, drainages, along the coast, and as fresh and brackish water marshes (such as on the Sharp Park Golf Course). The National Wetlands Inventory (USFWS, 2020) has identified different types of wetlands within the Planning Area (Cowardin et al., 1979). These include estuarine and are intertidal marine wetlands, and freshwater emergent wetlands, and freshwater pond forested, scrub-shrub, and unconsolidated palustrine wetlands. 1 Department of Water Resources (DWR), 2004.

Impaired Water Bodies
The federal Clean Water Act requires a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be established for the pollutants identified as causing the impairment of surface water quality. TMDL refers to the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards. Generally, TMDL is the sum of the loads of a single pollutant from point and nonpoint sources. In Pacifica’s Coastal Zone, San Pedro Creek and Pacifica State Beach is listed as impaired by coliform bacteria and Pacifica State Beach is listed as impaired by diazinon (insecticide).
The Environmental Protection Agency approved the TMDL for San Pedro Creek and Pacifica State Beach on August 1, 2013.
Stormwater
Pacifica’s storm drainage system consists of a collection system and two pump stations. This drainage system acts to convey drainage to area creeks or the ocean. Overall, the City’s system serves 178 miles of roads and 986 inlets, only a small portion of which is within the Coastal Zone.2 San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program The San Mateo County Water Pollution Prevention Program (SMCWPPP) was established in 1990 with the assistance of the San Mateo County City/County Association of Governments. The primary goal is to reduce pollution carried by stormwater, and to maintain compliance with the San Francisco Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Participating agencies, including the City of Pacifica, must comply with the NPDES Permit by ensuring that municipal operations, new development and redevelopment, industrial and commercial site controls, and construction site controls mitigate water quality impacts to stormwater runoff during construction and operation phases of projects. As part of the NPDES permit requirement, the City of Pacifica completed a Green Infrastructure Plan in 2019, which describes how low impact development (LID) drainage design will be incorporated into public and private streets, parking lots, building roofs and other facilities to achieve water quality, flow reduction and other environmental and community benefits.
Stormwater Management and Site Planning
New development and redevelopment projects are subject to NPDES permit requirementsProvision C.3, and are grouped into categories based on project type. Depending on their category, projects are required to include stormwater controls, including site design measures, source controls, treatment measures, low impact development, hydromodification management, and construction best management practices (BMPs).
Projects are also required to complete and implement a Green Infrastructure Plan for the inclusion of low impact development drainage design into storm drain infrastructure, which describes how projects will shift their impervious surfaces and storm drain infrastructure from gray, or traditional storm drain infrastructure where runoff flows directly into the storm drain and then the receiving water, to green—that is, to a moreresilient, sustainable system. Construction BMPs include scheduling grading and excavation work in dry weather only; installing temporary erosion controls until vegetation is reestablished; effectively managing all run-off within the site and from off-site. Post-construction stormwater treatment measures are required for all projects that create over a certain amount of impervious surface (the current threshold is 5,000 square feet for uncovered parking areas, restaurants, auto service facilities, and gas stations, and 10,000 square feet for 2 San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program.

other development types.) Stormwater treatment measures that remove pollutants from stormwater during project operations include rain gardens; bioretention areas; and flow-through planters.
San Pedro Creek/Linda Mar Storm Drain Treatment/Diversion Project In 2004, the City completed the Pacifica State Beach Improvement Project. This project has successfully redirected polluted water from first-flush release into the ocean to two constructed wetland treatment swales, and, together with other elements of the project, improved water quality.

• Identifying and working with property owners to take advantage of unique opportunities where human active use (e.g., through trail development) would enhance creek appreciation without disrupting ecological function; • Requiring a minimum of 100 feet setbacks from the top of creek banks, or from the outer edge of riparian vegetation, where it exists, for development proposed adjacent to creeks, in keeping with City regulations and Best Management Practices.
Exceptions to such buffer requirements should be supported by a biological report demonstrating that the adjusted buffer, in combination with incorporated siting, design or other mitigation measures, shall prevent impacts that significantly degrade the creek. Buffer adjustments should also be limited to where the entire subject legal lot is within the buffer or where it is demonstrated that development outside the buffer would have a greater impact on the creek.
Improvement of Impaired Waterways. Strive to improve water quality in San Pedro Creek, which is listed on the Clean Water Act 303(d) list of impaired water bodies, and any other waterway that may be listed as impaired in the future., by reducing and controlling sources of bacterial pollution that affect waterways. .
Funding for Creek Maintenance. Establish funding mechanism to rRequire property owners with parcels adjacent to creeks to pay for creek improvement maintenance.
Wetlands Preservation. Prohibit new development in existing wetlands except as allowed under the federal Clean Water Act and the California Coastal Act. Continue to require formal delineations of wetlands subject to State or federal regulations prior to any proposed development project where potential wetlands have been identified. If impacts on wetlands are unavoidable, compensation measure should be in line with the State’s no-net-loss goal regarding wetlands.
Limitations on Diking, Filling or Dredging. Only permit the diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, and lakes for the following purposed where there is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative, and where feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects:
• New port, energy, and coastal-dependent industrial facilities, including commercial fishing facilities.
• New boating facilities and the placement of structural pilings for public recreational piers that provide public access and recreational opportunities. • Incidental public service purposes, including, but not limited to, burying cables and pipes or inspection of piers and maintenance of existing intake and outfall lines. • Mineral extraction, including extraction of sand for restoring beaches, except in environmentally sensitive areas.
• Restoration activities;
• Nature study, aquaculture, or similar resource-dependent activities.

Continued Movement of Sediment and Nutrients. AllowEvaluate the suitability of sediment removed from erosion and flood control facilities to be placed at appropriate points on the shoreline, where environmental effects will be minimal.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program. Continue to participate in the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program.
The Program represents a collaborative effort amongst the County and its municipalities, consisting of five major areas of water pollution prevention and control:
• Municipal maintenance activities
• Industrial and illicit discharge
• Public information and participation
• New development and construction controls
• Watershed monitoring
Stormwater Discharge. Ensure compliance with the Municipal Regional Permit, the Construction General Permit and the Construction Dewatering Permit, which regulate stormwater discharge from new and existing development.
These permits are established by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and administered by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. They require that new development incorporate Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Green Infrastructure Plan requirements in site design, construction, and management to minimize storm water runoff rates and volumes, control water pollution, and maximize infiltration.
Protect Water Quality through Best Management Practices. Continue to require the use of best management practices to reduce water quality impacts from construction and development. Measures include:
• Site Design and Source Control. Ensure that all new development incorporates site design and source control BMPs into the project design in order to preserve the infiltration, purification, and retention functions of each site’s natural drainage

systems, and to prevent or minimize the runoff of pollutants, sediments, waste, and pathogens from the site.
• Construction Pollution Control. Require all construction projects to adopt measures to avoid when possible, or minimize erosion and runoff of pollutants and sediments from construction-related activities, and to limit activities that result in the disturbance of land or natural vegetation.
Construction projects will be required to use appropriate erosion prevention techniques, sediment control measures, and best management practices in accordance with City specifications and the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program.
• Treatment Control. Require that new development implement treatment control BMPs (or structural treatment BMPs) where the combination of site design and source control BMPs is not sufficient to protect water quality and comply with applicable water quality permits.
Stormwater treatment systems must meet the numeric sizing criteria established in the NPDES Permit, and must be operated and maintained in compliance with the NPDES Permit.
Infrastructure and Water Quality. Ensure that the design and construction of new infrastructure elements does not contribute to stream bank or hillside erosion or creek or wetland siltation, and incorporates site design and source control BMPs, construction phase BMPs, and treatment control BMPs to minimize impacts to water quality, in compliance with the NPDES Permit.
Green Infrastructure. Require that new development projects incorporate inclusion of low impact development drainage design into storm drain infrastructure on public and private lands, including streets, roads, storm drains, parking lots, building roofs, and other storm drain infrastructure elements.
Erosion Control. Manage erosion in the Planning Area, particularly in watershed areas, through on-site erosion control.
Construction projects will be required to use appropriate erosion prevention techniques, sediment control measures, and best management practices in accordance with City Specifications and General Conditions of Approval and the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program.
Minimize Site Disturbance. Require the use of best practices during development design and construction to preserve natural resources, such as soil, trees, native plants, and permeable surfaces.
Reduce Impervious Surfaces. Enable natural drainage by reducing the amount of impervious surfaces on a development site, whenever feasible.
Techniques that help accomplish this objective:
• Designing development projects to share driveways;
• Placing parking lots under buildings, whenever feasible; and
10.b
Packet Pg. 301 Attachment: Attachment B - Revised Certification Draft LCLUP (Redlines) (5490 : Process Update on Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP) CHAPTER 4: ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE PROTECTION
4-13
• Using permeable paving materials on walkways and driveways, whenever feasible.
On-site Stormwater Management. Continue to require all small projects and detached single-family home projects, as defined under the NPDES Permit, to incorporate site design measures that facilitate groundwater recharge and natural hydrological processes, allowing stormwater to infiltrate the ground on-site and/or be collected for reuse in landscaping and designated to on-site stormwater detention facilities.
Techniques for on-site stormwater management include use of:
• “Rain gardens” or bioretention areas in yards, parks, and parking lots; • Landscaped drainage swales along roadways;
• Green roofs;
• Permeable pavers for walkways and parking areas;
• Rain barrels for harvesting runoff from rooftops;
• Tree box filters for on-street filtration;
• Parking areas that direct stormwater flow into vegetated areas; • Grading that lengthens flow paths and increases runoff travel time to reduce the peak flow rate; and • Cisterns or sub-surface retention facilities that capture rainwater for use in irrigation and nonpotable uses.
Prevent Contaminated Runoff. Ensure that new parking lots and commercial development incorporate BMPs designed to prevent or minimize runoff of oil, grease, solvents, battery acid, coolant, gasoline, sediments, trash, and other pollutants from the site.
Runoff from areas serving vehicle traffic, structures, landscaping, loading areas, repair and maintenance bays, fueling areas, vehicle/equipment wash areas, outdoor material storage areas, and waste storage areas should be prevented or minimized.
Oil and Hazardous Substance Spills. Provide protection against the spillage of crude oil, gas, petroleum products, or hazardous substances in relation to any development or transportation of such materials.
For any accidental spills that do occur, the City will require immediate and effective containment, and cleanup facilities and procedures.
WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT
Sanitary Sewer Discharge. Ensure that discharges of treated wastewater from the Calera Creek Wastewater Recycling Plant continue to comply with the Sanitary Sewer System Permit.
The City will manage the release of treated wastewater as part of habitat restoration along Calera Creek, and pursue the use of recycled water for irrigation and other uses.

The Coastal Act seeks to protect Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) from any significant disruption of their habitat values by providing strict limits on what may be allowed within these areas and ensuring that adjacent development will be compatible with habitat (Section 30240). Marine resources must also be maintained (Section 30230).
Pacifica contains some of the most natural habitat on the San Francisco Peninsula, providing for a wide variety of native plant and animal species, and natural communities. Some of these species and communities, have special legal status, having been listed under the federal or state Endangered Species Acts, or having been listed under the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Species of Concern, California Native Plant Society, USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern or other regulating authority. Portions of the Coastal Zone have been noted as especiallyfor high habitat value (providing important resources to plants and wildlife) valuable because of their special nature, such asproviding important resources to plants and wildlife, use as a migration corridor, or their potential to be designated Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) under the California Coastal Act.
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas are defined by the California Coastal Act as “any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments.” These areas are to be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources are to be allowed within those areas. Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas must be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas.
Plant Communities and Wildlife Habitats
Plant communities and habitats found in Pacifica are briefly described below and depicted in Figure 4-2, Vegetation. The EIR for the General Plan and Local Coastal Land Use Plan Update includes a more detailed description of each of these communities and habitats. The listed species and habitats here are not intended to preclude the possibility that other species or habitat occur within Pacifica. Species identified with various plant communities or habitats are not necessarily present in the Planning Area. Some of these communities are recognized as “special status communities,” or provide critical habitat for special status species.
Annual Grasslands/Prairie
Annual Ggrasslands in Pacifica Grasslands/Coastal Prairie in Pacifica occur Milagra Ridge, Sweeney Ridge, Cattle Ridge, Mori Point, Aramai Point (formerly Rockaway Headland), San Pedro Valley Park, the San Pedro Mountain hills and Pedro Point Headlands occur most and often in a mosaic with coastal scrub and are dominated by non-native annual grass species and a variety of other non-native weeds. The grasslands in Pacifica are of limited and highly disturbed nature, having been damaged through unauthorized vehicle activity that has created off-road trails on hillsides. Grasslands attract reptiles and amphibians, including several lizard species and the western rattlesnake. Annual Ggrasslands are important foraging grounds for bats and other mammals such as coyote, black-tailed deer, jackrabbits, and various rodents. Small rodents attract raptors (birds of prey) including hawks, owls, and turkey vultures. The grasslands in Pacifica are limited and highly disturbed nature, having been damaged through unauthorized vehicle activity that has created off-road trails on hillsides. In urban situations, grassland patches tend to support more disturbancetolerant animals adapted to impacted environments, such as fox squirrels, skunks, raccoons, rats, and mice.

Over the past thirty years extensive work has been accomplished to protect, preserve and restore native, perennial grasses and forbs at Pedro Point Headlands (PPH), Aramai Point, Mori Point and Milagra Ridge.
The Pedro Point Headlands restoration was supported by a grant awarded by California State Parks and Recreation Division to the Pacifica Land Trust to repair off- highway vehicle damage. Grassland and prairie are being protected in other publicly managed lands as well. Unprotected grassland/ prairie remnants continue on Harmony 1, Rockaway Rock, the Quarry, Cattle Hill, along Fassler, Esplanade, Palmetto, and Fish and Bowl.
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN GRASSLAND HABITATS
Special-status species3that have the potential to occur in grassland habitats around Pacifica include the Mission blue butterfly, San Bruno elfin butterfly, Crystal Springs fountain thistle, Marin western flax, San Mateo thorn-mint, white-rayed pentachaeta, Crystal Springs lessingia, pappose tarplant, and San Francisco owl’s clover.4
Coastal Bluff Scrub
Coastal bluff scrub is found along the immediate coast line to the west of Highway 1,. It consists of a mosaic of open sand, native low growing shrubs and herbaceous perennials. Native species present include dwarf coyote brush, silver bush lupine, yellow bush lupine, seaside woolly sunflower, bunchgrass, buckhorn plantain, beach evening primrose, beach bur, yellow sand verbena, beach saltbush, and beach morning glory.
Other exotic species are Italian ryegrass, bull thistle, and fennel. 5 Non-native iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis)
New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) have been virtually eradicated and replaced with appropriate natives grown and planted by volunteers.
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN COASTAL BLUFF SCRUB HABITAT
Special-status species that may be found in this habitat around Pacifica are bumblebee scarab beetle, sandy beach tiger beetle, Hickman’s cinquefoil, blue coast gilia, coast yellow leptosiphon, coastal marsh milk-vetch, coastal triquetrella, compact cobwebby thistle, Franciscan thistle, Point Reyes horkelia, rose leptosiphon, San Francisco Bay spineflower, and short-leaved evax. Bank swallows, double-crested cormorants, and big freetailed bats may use cliff sides for nesting.
Northern Coastal Scrub
Northern coastal scrub habitat is found on undeveloped slopes, often in a mosaic with annual grasslands.
Northern maritime chaparral, a special-status community, is included in this category. Northern coastal scrub is dominated by either coyote brush or California sagebrush, depending on slope aspect. North facing slopes support a greater diversity of shrub species and canopy cover than south facing slopes. Coastal scrub habitat, often interspersed with other habitats, provides foraging and nesting habitat for species that are attracted to edges of plant communities. These include various bird species, including hummingbirds; small mammals 3 “Special-status” plant and animal species are defined in more detail in the Special-status Species section of this chapter. Briefly, they are:
• Species listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, California Endangered Species Act, California Fish and Game Code, and the Native Plant Protection Act as endangered, threatened, or depleted; species that are candidates or proposed for listing; or species that are designated as rare or fully protected. • Locally rare species defined by CEQA Guidelines Sections, which may include species that are designated as sensitive, declining, rare, locally endemic, or as having limited or restricted distribution by various federal, state, and local agencies, organizations, and watch lists. 4 John Northmore Roberts & Associates et al., 1992; State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, 1990. 5 State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, 1990; ESA surveys, 2008

including skunks, rabbits, gophers, and rodents; larger predators such as fox, coyotes, mountain lions, and bobcat; and small reptiles.6
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN NORTHERN COASTAL SCRUB HABITAT Special-status animals that may use northern coastal scrub around Pacifica include merlins, dusky-footed woodrat, Mission blue butterfly, and San Bruno elfin butterflies. Special-status plants with the potential to occur include: Pacific manzanita, Presidio manzanita, San Bruno manzanita, San Francisco lessingia, Choris’ popcorn-flower, Davidson’s bush-mallow, fragrant fritillary, Kellogg’s horkelia, Montara manzanita, Oregon polemonium, pale yellow hayfield tarplant, San Francisco campion, San Francisco collinsia, and San Francisco gumplant.
Eucalyptus
This habitat type is dominated by planted Eucalyptus species, primarily blue-gum eucalyptus. Groves of eucalyptus are dense and form a closed canopy, restricting other native overstory trees to clearings.
Eucalyptus trees have allelopathic properties, releasing chemicals into the soil to reduce or inhibit growth of other plants. In addition, they produce extensive leaf and bark litter which further inhibits the growth of understory plants. Eucalyptus trees provide perching, roosting, and nesting sites for larger birds, such as crows, ravens, red-tailed hawks, red-shouldered hawks, and barn owls. The migratory monarch butterfly frequently roosts in eucalyptus trees in the winter.
Monterey Cypress
Small patches of Monterey cypress occur throughout the Planning Area in planted stands surrounded by a mosaic of scrub and grasslands. The largest stand occurs at the north end of the Planning Area. Although the small patches of Monterey cypress found in Pacifica are unlikely to support significant wildlife populations, they complement surrounding habitats by providing nesting and roosting substrates for birds as well as shelter for other animals.
Riparian Mixed Hardwood
Areas with riparian mixed hardwood habitat occur along San Pedro Creek, Rockaway Creek, Calera Creek, and Laguna Salada. Native trees that are found include red alder, various willow species, and creek dogwood.
Riparian areas also host native herbs and emergent vegetation, as well as various nonnative ivies, grasses, blackberry, and other plants.7 Riparian areas provide foraging ground for birds and small mammals, and habitat for small reptiles and amphibians.
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN RIPARIAN MIXED HARDWOOD HABITAT Special-status wildlife that could be present in the riparian corridor includes tricolored blackbirds, raptors such as Cooper’s hawk, sharp-shinned hawk, and great blue heron.
Seasonal Wetlands and Ponds
Seasonal wetlands occur in smaller drainages and localized depressions, forming ponds or flowing water, and are underlain by saturated soils during the winter and spring. Seasonal wetlands also occur along the banks and sediments that accumulate in creeks. Wetlands in Pacifica are found along riparian areas, drainages, along 6 John Northmore Roberts & Associates et al., 1992

the coast, and as fresh and brackish water marshes (such as on the Sharp Park Golf Course). Vegetation and wildlife found in wetlands varies with water characteristics, inundation patterns, surrounding habitat, and level of disturbance.
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN SEASONAL WETLANDS AND PONDS
The California red-legged frog, San Francisco garter snake, Leech’s skyline diving beetle, San Francisco forktail damselfly, Tomales isopod, western pond turtle, and bristly sedge are special-status species that may be found in wetlands around Pacifica. The wetlands in Sharp Park are also known to support saltmarsh common yellowthroat. Seasonal wetlands and ponds at Mori Point and Sharp Park Golf Course support the California red-legged frog as well as the San Francisco garter snake.
Streams
Streams are important habitat features in Pacifica as they can function as movement corridors as well as providing protective cover. Wildlife species that are associated with stream habitat include river otters, great blue heron, snowy egret, belted kingfisher, dark-eyed junco, and black phoebe. Black-tailed deer, raccoon, opossum, and grey fox may use the creeks as movement corridors. Fish species present include the prickly sculpin, the Pacific lamprey, and the threespine stickleback.
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN STREAMS
The federally threatened steelhead trout use parts of San Pedro Creek for spawning, including the main portion parallel to Linda Mar Boulevard, as well as the middle and south forks in San Pedro County Park. 8 This is the only stream with a steelhead population between the Golden Gate Bridge and Half Moon Bay.
Lower Calera Creek on the Quarry site supports the federally-threatened California red-legged frog and the Endangered San Francisco garter snake.
Beach/Intertidal
Significant expanses of continuous sandy shoreline occur along the San Mateo coastline, including in Pacifica.
Beaches are dynamic systems that change with wind and waves; generally, sand is eroded from beaches in the winter and re-deposited in the summer, resulting in annual changes in beach slope and width.
Beach habitats can be divided into supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal. The supratidal beach fauna consists of sand crabs, California beach flea, amphipods, polychaete worms, flies, and isopods that feed on detritus; these species in turn are fed on by a variety of birds. The by-the-wind sailor, a jellyfish-like colony of organisms, frequently washes up on the upper beach areas. Exposed rocks or cobble, especially at the lower intertidal areas, can have attached algae, mussels, and barnacles. Intertidal areas are home to the Pacific egg cockle and spiny mole crab. The Subtidal zone is primarily inhabited by fish such as surf perch, striped bass, salmon, anchovies, sanddabs, California halibut, and the starry flounder. 9
SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES IN BEACH/INTERTIDAL HABITAT
Some special-status species may be found in the shallow waters off of Pacifica. Harbor seals and sea lions haul out on isolated beaches and sands spits. The endangered black abalone may be present in intertidal areas attached to rocks. The threatened green sturgeon may also forage in the shallow waters off of Pacifica.

the gray whale and southern sea otter use the nearshore waters, and the California brown pelican is also frequently observed. Pacifica State Beach in the 1970s hosted nesting Western Snowy Plovers, a Federally listed threatened species. Since 2003 volunteers have regularly surveyed and monitored the plovers and have seen only wintering plovers in declining numbers. ESHA is required on the north half of the beach where plovers roost and feed.

Potential Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas are defined by the California Coastal Act as “any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments.” These areas are to be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources are to be allowed within those areas. Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas must be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas.
Figure 4-3 identifies potential ESHAs in the Planning Area. Potential ESHAs include all designated critical habitat for Endangered or Threatened Species; special status communities10; and areas designated as “other potential Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas”.
Critical Habitat
Critical habitat areas are for species listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act. These areas contain features that are essential for the conservation of the species and may require special management and protection.
Critical habitat for the California red-legged frog has been designated in the southeast portion of the City of Pacifica, outside the Coastal Zone. This area contains both aquatic and upland areas with suitable breeding and non-breeding habitat11. A final ruling was issued in March 2010 to expand the current critical habitat from 450,288 acres to 1,804,865 acres statewide, including additional parts of the Planning Area, including on Pedro Point Headlands in the Coastal Zone (see Figure 4-3, Sensitive and Critical Habitat).
San Pedro Creek is known to support steelhead trout, a federally listed threatened species. They spawn in the main portion of the creek that runs parallel to Linda Mar Boulevard, as well as the middle and south forks in San Pedro County Park. However, conditions in parts of the creek limit its suitability for steelhead habitat, including barriers to fish passage at main stem road crossings, low base flows, mobilization and accumulation of fine sediments in the main stem, deterioration of water quality, disturbance, and exploitation.
Nearshore marine areas off of Pacifica are part of the Green Sturgeon Critical Habitat. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that this, which includes Pacifica’s shoreline, is of high conservation value.
Special-Status Communities
The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) indicates that there is an area of northern maritime chaparral at the south end of the Planning Area, in San Pedro Valley County Park and on Whiting Ridge and Montara Mountain. This community is fairly open chaparral, with about 50–80 percent cover, and it is dominated by Manzanita or Ceanothus species. An area of coastal bluff scrub has been identified at the north end of Pacifica. Coastal bluff scrub communities are found on steep, exposed bluffs along the ocean and are dominated by low shrubs and ground-hugging herbaceous species. It is particularly important for stabilizing sand dunes. Both bluff and northern coastal scrub habitat has been damaged by unauthorized vehicle activity and pedestrian use.
10 A “special-status natural community” is a natural habitat community that is unique in its constituent components, restricted in distribution, supported by distinctive soil conditions, considered locally rare, potentially supporting special-status plant or wildlife species, and/or that receives regulatory recognition from municipal, county, state, and/or federal entities such as the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). 11 San Pedro Creek Watershed Coalition, 2002

4-21
Other Potential ESHA
Areas around Mori Point and Sharp Park Golf Course are likely to qualify as an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area. Any proposed development on land designated on the Sensitive and Critical Habitat map (Figure 4-3) as having potential to include an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area requires a site-specific evaluation by qualified biologists. The site evaluation will determine the precise location and extent of sensitive resources, if any, and establish appropriate development setbacks and standards to ensure that resources are protected.
Special-Status Species
Several species known to occur in the vicinity of the Planning Area are accorded “special-status” because of their recognized rarity or vulnerability to various causes of habitat loss or population decline. Some of these receive specific protections defined in federal or state endangered species legislation. Others have been designated as “sensitive” by state resource agencies or organizations with acknowledged expertise. For purposes of this Local Coastal Land Use Plan, special-status species include:
• Plant and animal species designated as rare, threatened or endangered under the federal or state endangered species acts (ESA);
• Species that are candidates for listing under either federal or state law; • Species designated by the USFWS as species of concern or species of local concern, or by CDFG as species of special concern;
• Species protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-711); • Bald and golden eagles protected by the federal Bald Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668); and • Species such as candidate species and CNPS List 1 and 2 species that may be considered rare or endangered pursuant to Section 15380(b) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Of particular interest are the Mission Blue Butterfly and the San Francisco garter snake, federally listed as Endangered; the California red-legged frog and the Central California Coast Steelhead trout, federally listed as Threatened; the Western snowy plover, which is federally listed as Threatened and a California Species of Special Concern; and Myrtle’s Silverspot big free-tailed bat, a California Species of Special Concern. A comprehensive list of species that are either known or presumed to be in the Planning Area based on suitable habitat is in the EIR.
SPECIAL-STATUS WILDLIFE SPECIES
In addition to these species, additional migratory birds, raptors, and common bat species are subject to general protections provided by state and federal regulations.
SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT SPECIES
The large number of special-status plants and the severity of their population declines are reflective of the degree of habitat loss that has occurred throughout the San Francisco Peninsula. Outside of San Bruno Mountain, Pacifica encompasses the northernmost natural habitat on the peninsula. Due to extensive coastal development throughout neighboring counties, beach and bluff species have also become rare.

Of the special-status plant species listed in the EIR, 38 special-status plants have the potential to occur within the Planning Area. These species have been recorded in the vicinity and/or may be present in suitable habitat on site.
Certain trees within the city limits are also protected, including heritage trees and street trees. Heritage trees are any trees in the city that have a trunk with a circumference of 50 inches or more, at 24 inches above grade, excluding eucalyptus. The City Council may also designate any tree or grove of trees with historical, environmental, or aesthetic value as Heritage Trees. Heritage Trees generally require special permits for removal, substantial trimming, or construction within its drip-line; in some cases, a Tree Protection Plan prepared by a qualified arborist, landscape architect, or horticulturalist may be required prior to project approval. The City is in the process of updating the Heritage Tree ordinance found at Chapter 12 of Title 4 of the Municipal Code. These require special permits for removal, substantial trimming, or construction within its drip-line; in some cases, a Tree Protection Plan prepared by a qualified arborist, landscape architect, or horticulturalist may be required prior to project approval.

Policies
Guiding Policies
ER-G-5 Wildlife and Critical Habitat. Conserve and protect indigenous threatened, endangered, and other special status species by preserving critical habitat.
Habitat can be protected by allowing very limited or no development, by identifying habitat areas as top priorities for permanent conservation, and by managing public land to ensure species protection. Critical Habitat in the Coastal Zone is considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA).
ER-G-6 Coastal Environment and Special Status Communities. Conserve and protect beaches, sand dunes, coastal bluffs, and special status communities, particularly the Coastal bluff scrub on the northern bluffs.
Special status communities in the Coastal Zone are considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA).
ER-G-7 Creeks and Riparian Areas as Habitat. Protect year-round creeks and their riparian habitats.
San Pedro Creek has been designated an “impaired waterway” by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and provides critical habitat to a federally-listed threatened species, the California coast population of steelhead.
ER-G-8 Other Environmentally Sensitive Areas. Protect other potential Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs), High Value or High Habitat Value areas, and Wildlife Movement Corridors from development that would significantly disrupt habitat values.
ER-G-9 Open Space Conservation and Habitat Protection. Protect beaches, oceanfront bluffs, ridgelines, hillside areas adjacent to existing open space, and areas that support critical wildlife habitat and special status species.
Implementing Policies
Protection of Biological Resources with New Development. Protect sensitive habitat areas and special-status species through implementation of the following measures:
1) The City shall avoidDiscourage development and/or buildout in critical habitat of special status species during the development review process. 2) Pre-construction plant and wildlife surveys: Project applicants shall engage a qualified biologist to conduct presence/absence biological surveys for sensitive plant and wildlife species prior to construction adjacent to or within identified special status communities and other sensitive areas identified in Figure 4-3. If special status species are identified, the qualified biologist shall consult with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and establish no-disturbance buffers around the special status specie to avoid disturbance and direct impacts to these

resources during construction. If no special status species are detected during surveys, then construction-related activities may proceed. Nesting birds, in particular, are protected by two means; they receive protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and nesting raptors (in the order Falconiformes or Strigiformes) are protected under the State Fish and Game Code, §3503.5.
3) Require biological resource assessments be conducted prior to approval for any development within 300 feet of creeks, wetlands, or other sensitive habitat areas shown on Figure 4-3. of the General Plan.
4) Require on-site monitoring of biological resources by a qualified biologist throughout the duration of construction activity.
5) Require compensatory mitigation by means of habitat preservation, restoration, and enhancement; for the loss of any critical habitat and/or special status communities.
The City will coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Regional Water Quality Control Board in providing developers with the best guidance to avoid impacts to special status species and habitat areas including creeks, wetland features, woodlands, or other sensitive natural features.
Protection of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA). Protect all sensitive species with defined or potential habitat by establishing specific habitat survey requirements, development limitations, and other requirements to mitigate potential impacts.
Verification of ESHA. Prior to any proposed development in an ESHA or potential ESHA, require that a habitat survey be conducted by a qualified botanist or biologist. The habitat survey will verify whether the site is an ESHA, and document the extent of the sensitive resources, document potential negative impacts to the habitat, and recommend appropriate mitigation measures. Verification of an ESHA shall be based on the following considerations:
• Presence of natural communities identified as rare by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (determined by a state rarity ranking of S1 to S3). • Recorded or potential presence of plant or animal species designated as rare, threatened or endangered under State or federal law.
• Recorded or potential presence of plant or animal species for which there is compelling evidence or rarity, such as a designation of 1B (rare or endangered in California or elsewhere) or 2 (rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere) by the California Native Plant Society.
• Presence of coastal waterways.
• Integrity of the habitat and its connectivity to other natural areas.

Management of ESHA. If the area qualifies as an ESHA under the California Coastal Act, the following regulations apply:
• No new development shall be allowed within primary habitat areas with the exception of resource-dependent uses that can be demonstrated to have no significant adverse impact.
• Buffer areas shall be established around all sensitive resources, providing a minimum of 100 feet, and varying as needed to account for feeding, breeding, nesting, and other habitat requirements. New buildings in buffer areas shall Exceptions to such buffer requirements should be supported by a biological report demonstrating that the adjusted buffer, in combination with incorporated siting, design or other mitigation measures, will prevent impacts that significantly degrade the ESHA and will be compatible with the continuance of the ESHA. Buffer adjustments should also be limited to where the entire subject legal lot is within the buffer or where it is demonstrated that development outside the buffer would have a greater impact on the ESHA.
• Development shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts that would degrade adjacent habitat areas, taking into account drainage, vegetation, topography, and other considerations.
• Alteration of landforms, removal of vegetation, impervious surfaces, noise, light, and glare shall be minimized.
Fencing. Any fencing or barriers located within riparian ESHAs or wildlife corridors shall permit the free passage of wildlife.
Fuel Modification. Ensure that new development is sited and designed to minimize the need for fuel modification and vegetation clearance in order to avoid or minimize the disturbance or destruction of habitat and existing hydrology while still providing for fire safety as necessitated by the North County Fire Authority’s Vegetation Management Program. Prohibit new development that would require fuel modification within ESHAs.
Monitoring Requirements. Require a Restoration and Monitoring Proposal for any proposed habitat restoration or mitigation. The Proposal should describe the methods and practices to be employed, and include:
• A clear statement of the goals of the restoration or mitigation for all habitat types; • Sampling of reference habitat, with reporting of resultant data; • Designation of a qualified biologist as the Restoration or Mitigation Manager responsible for all phases of the restoration;
• A specific grading plan, if the topography must be altered; • A specific erosion control plan, if soil or other substrate will be disturbed during restoration;
• A weed eradication plan designed to eradicate existing weeds and control future invasion by exotic species;

4-27
• A planting plan based on the natural habitat type;
• An irrigation plan that describes the method and timing of watering and ensures removal of watering infrastructure by the end of the monitoring period; • An interim monitoring plan with performance goals, assessment methods, and a schedule; and
• A final monitoring plan to determine whether the restoration has been successful.
Construction during Nesting Season. If site work or construction occurs during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31), then pre-construction breeding bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified wildlife biologist prior to any site disturbance to ensure that no nests will be disturbed or destroyed during Project implementation. If an active nest is found sufficiently close to work areas to be disturbed by construction activities, then the biologist shall create a no-disturbance buffer of 250 feet around passerine nests and a 500 foot buffer around raptor nests. Work-free buffer zones shall be maintained until after the breeding season or until after the qualified biologist determines the young have fledged (usually late June through mid-July).
Nests initiated during active construction would be presumed to be unaffected by the activity, and a buffer zone around such nests is not necessary. However, nests shall be flagged and construction activity shall avoid killing and/or injuring nesting birds.
Pre-Construction Bat Surveys. Pre-construction surveys for special-status and non-listed bat species will be performed by a qualified biologist if large trees (>4 ft. diameter at breast height) are to be removed or underutilized or vacant buildings are to be demolished. A nodisturbance buffer of 100 feet shall be created around active bat roosts being used for maternity or hibernation purposes.
Protection of the Californian Red-Legged Frog and San Francisco Garter Snake during Construction. To minimize disturbance, require all grading activity within 100 feet of identified aquatic habitat shall be conducted during the dry season (May 1 through October 15) to protect California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake. A qualified biologist shall conduct presence/absence surveys for California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake prior to construction in or adjacent to riparian areas, grasslands near ponds/wetlands, or other sensitive habitat. Any individuals identified shall be treated in consultation with USFWS. Construction shall follow accepted procedures for exclusion and avoidance of California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake and their habitat.
Additionally, the biologist shall supervise the installation of exclusion fencing along the boundaries of the work area, shall conduct environmental awareness training for construction workers, and shall be present during initial vegetation clearing and grounddisturbing activities.
Invasive Plant Species. Prohibit the use of invasive plant species (i.e., any California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC)-listed species with a status of high or moderate, or identified as locally-threatening under the limited, alert, or watch status). adjacent to wetlands, riparian areas, ESHAs, or other sensitive habitat.

A list of invasive species should be developed in coordination with Sustainable San Mateo County.
Beach Grooming. Work with the State of California, GGNRA, and other partners in the management of beaches in Pacifica to ensure biological resources are not adversely affected by beach grooming. Specifically, protect beach wrack (the piles of plant and animal debris that wash ashore), which plays an important role in the beach ecosystem.
Biological Productivity. Maintain—and where feasible, restore—the biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, and lakes in order to maintain optimum populations of marine organisms and to protect human health.
Techniques may include:
• Minimizing adverse effects of wastewater discharge;
• Controlling runoff, preventing depletion of ground water supplies and substantial interference with surface waterflow;
• Encouraging wastewater reclamation, maintaining natural vegetation buffer areas that protect riparian habitats; and
• Minimizing alteration of natural streams.
Regulations and Incentives to Preserve Habitat. Ensure that sensitive or critical habitat is protected, maintained, enhanced, or restored.
Possible techniques include:
• Zoning for very low density and clustered development where appropriate; • Requiring the preparation of a habitat survey in certain areas; and • Identifying appropriate “sending sites” in the City’s Transfer of Development Rights program.
Protection through Land Acquisition or Conservation Easements. Explore opportunities for public acquisition of land or conservation easements on parcels not currently designated for Conservation that have significant habitat value.
Public Land Management. Coordinate with GGNRA, State and County Parks, and the City and County of San Francisco to ensure that public open space lands are managed to optimize habitat protection for special status species while also providing for public access and other goals.
Key issues include maintaining viable habitat for the Mission Blue butterfly on Milagra and Sweeney ridges; for the California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake populations associated with Mori Point and Laguna Salada; and supporting migrating Western snowy plover at Pacifica State Beach.

Management of Public Coastal Access. Determinations for new access points to ensure regular public access should be made on a site-specific basis by considering:
• The capacity of the access way to sustain use;
• The intensity of access that can be sustained;
• The fragility of the natural resources in the accessing, and • The proximity of the access to adjacent residential uses.
Innovative access management techniques, include but are not limited to, agreements with private organizations that would minimize management costs and the use of volunteer programs.
POLICIES FOR SPECIFIC SITES
Northern Coastal Bluffs. Maintain the Planned Development zoning district for the private, developable land on the northern coastal bluffs to allow for the consideration of development standards that consider the potential environmental and scenic resources on the site.
Allowable density should be consistent with the Residential/Open Space/Agriculture designation. Where coastal bluff scrub vegetation is present, further analysis will be required prior to any development. Work with public agencies and others to facilitate permanent conservation of scenic resources in this area.
Bowl Site. Establish appropriate zoning for the “Bowl” site along the east side of Palmetto Avenue in Fairmont West for Planned Development to ensure site planning that clusters development, avoiding potential flooding or geotechnical hazards and protecting open space resources.
Allowable density should be consistent with the Medium Density Residential designation.
4.4 AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING
Several provisions of the Coastal Act aim to ensure that resource use activities may continue and thrive.
Sections 30234 and 30234.5 promote the preservation and enhancement of facilities for fishing and recreational boating. Sections 30241, 30241.5, and 30242 call for prime agricultural land to be preserved to the greatest extent, including ensuring that its viability is not compromised by adjacent development. Section 30243 states that timberlands should be protected. Pacifica’s Coastal Zone does not currently support any of these resource uses.
