 City of Solana Beach
Section 1
Shoreline and Coastal Bluff Management Strategies Draft MEIR
Introduction
Incorporates in the project all feasible mitigation measures or alternatives as set forth in the
MEIR.
Prepares an Initial Study that concludes:
-The proposed project was described in the MEIR.
-No additional significant impact would occur.
Prepares findings that:
-The Project is within scope of MEIR.
-No additional significant impact would occur.
-No new additional mitigation or alternatives would be required.
Prepares public notice pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15075.
Repeal of Shoreline and Coastal Bluff Protection Ordinance
The Repeal of Shoreline and Coastal Bluff Protection Ordinance alternative was also included
within the scope of this MEIR and analyzed pursuant to CEQA MEIR requirements to the extent
feasible. Subsequent projects under this alternative would be the responsibility of the California
Coastal Commission and may require additional CEQA review.
Sand Replenishment and Retention Program
The Sand Replenishment and Retention Program alternative was also included within the scope
of this MEIR and analyzed per CEQA MEIR requirements to the extent feasible. Subsequent
projects under the San Replenishment and Retention Program may require a focused EIR or a
MND as mentioned above, and similar findings would need to be made. It is possible, however,
that full-blown individual EIRs might be required instead, given the scale of the offshore
structures that might be constructed, and the biological resource impacts that might occur. For
the sake of efficiency, any such EIR could be combined with a federal environmental document
prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
to satisfy federal agency approvals required in connection with such structures.
Planned Coastal Retreat Policy
Under the Planned Coastal Retreat Policy, subsequent projects undertaken within the next five
years would likely be found to come within the scope of this MEIR, although changing conditions
in the future will almost certainly require an update to this MEIR or new site-specific
environmental documents at some time during the succeeding period. Because subsequent
projects would require the purchase of the land and/or properties seaward of the planned retreat
lines through the purchase or eminent domain over a 50- year and 100- year period, as the
property became increasingly dangerous to inhabit, the City and Coastal Commission might find
themselves occasionally facing "emergency" situations that can be addressed without CEQA
