Notice of Intent to Initiate the City of San Mateo Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan that includes the Jurisdiction of the City of San Mateo.
The City of San Mateo will prepare a Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise consistent with the City’s Caltrans Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA) and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP) Guidelines. The City of San Mateo is located immediately adjacent to the San Francisco Bay and plays an essential role in the Bay Area transportation network with major highways, rail lines, and bus routes running through the City’s boundaries. The City of San Mateo Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise will assess the vulnerability of urban development and natural ecosystems, and the magnitude, probability, and severity of climate threats specific to sea level rise and will develop adaptation options to address those vulnerabilities. This project will produce information which will be essential to the City of San Mateo as it prioritizes projects which will not only safeguard the thousands of California families which reside within the City of San Mateo, but also the critical transportation network which serves the greater Bay Area region.
