“In 2019, the City undertook a focused update to the General Plan to address environmental justice, climate adaptation, and mobility and to revise background information, the goals, policies, and programs, and the Land Use Map to reflect current conditions. The focused update did not result in significant changes to vision for the City and continued to implement the adopted Land Use Map, with changes limited to revisions to reflect General Plan Amendments that had been approved and a modification to two parcels to refine designation. The Focused General Plan Update was informed by community input, which was invited through a series of visioning workshops, an online survey, and opportunities to comment at four City Council Workshops.” What were the environmental justice changes that were made?
How has the 2019 climate adaptation white paper been incorporated into the General Plan?
Added:* a paragraph about the Delta stewardship council on page 187* language about air quality monitoring 196* language about carbon sequestration “6.3.2. Develop open space uses in an ecologically sensitive manner, incorporating opportunities for carbon sequestration and use of native plants.”* language about groundwater* a full new goal on delta protection on page 2027.4.6. Minimize impact of future development in the shoreline area on the environmental health of natural systems. 7.4.7. Protect the visual accessibility of waterways by avoiding future development that creates visual barriers adjacent to or along the water’s edge.
8.5.5. Where essential facilities and infrastructure are located in areas anticipated to be significantly affected by sea level rise, develop and implement measures, which may include relocation, at least 20 years prior to the projected sea level rise to ensure that facilities remain accessible and undamaged during flood events.
