2021 Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 6.2 LOCAL PLANS, REPORTS AND CODES Plans, reports, and other technical information were identified and provided directly by participating jurisdictions and stakeholders or were identified through independent research by the planning consultant. These documents were reviewed to identify the following:  Existing jurisdictional capabilities.  Needs and opportunities to develop or enhance capabilities, which may be identified within the local mitigation strategies.  Mitigation-related goals or objectives considered during the development of the overall goals and objectives.  Proposed, in-progress, or potential mitigation projects, actions and initiatives to be incorporated into the updated jurisdictional mitigation strategies. The following local regulations, codes, ordinances, and plans were reviewed in order to develop complementary and mutually supportive goals, objectives, and mitigation strategies that are consistent across local and regional planning and regulatory mechanisms:  General plans (land use, housing, safety, and open space elements)  Building codes  Zoning and subdivision ordinances  National Flood Insurance Program flood damage prevention ordinances  Stormwater management plans  Emergency management and response plans  Land use and open space plans  Climate action plans  Community wildfire protection plans 6.3 LOCAL CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT All participating jurisdictions compiled an inventory and analysis of existing authorities and capabilities called a “capability assessment.” A capability assessment creates an inventory of a jurisdiction’s mission, programs, and policies, and evaluates its capacity to carry them out. This assessment identifies potential gaps in the jurisdiction’s capabilities. The planning partnership views all core jurisdictional capabilities as fully adaptable to meet a jurisdiction’s needs. Every code can be amended, and every plan can be updated. Such adaptability is itself considered to be an overarching capability. If the capability assessment identified an opportunity to add a missing core capability or expand an existing one, then doing so has been selected as an action in the jurisdiction’s action plan, which is included in the individual annexes presented in Volume 2 of this plan. Capability assessments for each planning partner are presented in the jurisdictional annexes in Volume 2. The sections below describe the specific capabilities evaluated under the assessment. 6-6
