greater environmental impacts associated with
seawalls. The City of Solana Beach could
encourage the California Coastal Commission
to revise its current policy and take a more
proactive approach to coastal bluff protection
similar to the approach embodied in the City's
Ordinance, which helps to reduce the impacts
of seawalls. However, since California Coastal
Commission policy changes are out of the
control of the City of Solana Beach, this would
not be a feasible mitigation measure as far as
the City is concerned, though the Coastal
Commission itself could implement it.
