Notice of intent to initiate the subregional shoreline adaptation plan titled City of Mill Valley Shoreline Adaptation Plan
The City of Mill Valley Shoreline Adaptation Plan aims to plan for and address vulnerabilities and impacts to the shoreline due to coastal flooding, sea level rise, and groundwater table rise. The project will enhance and refine County vulnerability assessments to be specific for the City of Mill Valley (City). Building on ongoing County-wide studies and adaptation frameworks focused on the entire County’s flood exposure, including the recently finished Transit Authority Marin (TAM) study, as well as previous studies conducted by the County of Marin, the City will collate existing coastal flood hazard exposure and risk information along its shoreline. Mill Valley will develop a robust community engagement and outreach effort to bring the community voice into the planning process and the identifying of vulnerabilities and shoreline adaptation strategies. As is outlined in the RSAP Guidelines, the City will engage under served and underrepresented communities, surrounding unincorporated County and neighboring municipalities, as well as host internal department and external agency coordination. It will also include data collection and the development of a Shoreline Adaptation Framework. The Plan will examine land use and policy considerations as well as map out funding and implementation strategies, eventually bringing at least one priority adaptation strategy to conceptual design.
