This stretch of Redwood Creek is tidal and already experiences <br />flooding from both storm-driven creek flows and storm drain discharges, as well as Bay storm <br />surges and rising high tides. In addition, rising ground water is of concern. <br />Newly enacted legislation now places additional responsibilities on both the City and the <br />applicant with respect to sea level rise adaptation. In October 2023, SB 272 was passed, <br />requiring all California cities to develop Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plans that meet BCDC <br />standards. In December 2024, BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan, <br />establishing clear guidelines and expectations for all Bay Area jurisdictions. Any extension of <br />entitlements for shoreline developments should reasonably align with these updated <br />requirements. <br />sierraclub.org/loma-prieta ~ 3921 East Bayshore Road, Suite 204, Palo Alto, CA 94303 <br />
