The State of California and local jurisdictions establish criteria for public review of many types of projects.
The following is an abbreviated list of the programs, projects and proposals under consideration by the City of Solana Beach.
For more information, contact the City staff member assigned to the project at the number listed.
SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS MASTER PLAN UPDATE
A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Santa Fe Christian Schools Master Plan Update
is available for public review for 45 days from 5/12/16-6/26/16. Written comments on the Draft EIR will be accepted until
Monday June 27, 2016. Written comments on the Draft EIR may be sent to Bill Chopyk, City of Solana Beach, 635 South
Highway 101, Solana Beach, California, 92075 or sent by email to [email protected]
website and copies are available for review at Solana Beach City Hall and Solana Beach Public Library.
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
In February 2013, the Solana Beach City Council adopted the California Coastal Commission (CCC) modified and approved
Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) under Solana Beach City Council Resolution 2013 -018. The City Council
amended the LUP in June 2014. The Executive Director of the CCC issued the final LUP concurrence approval in August 2014.
City Staff are now preparing the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) which is a companion document to the LUP and will codify
and integrate the LUP policies into the Solana Beach Municipal Code. Completion of the LIP is intended to support certification
- an important goal that is shared by the City and the CCC. Once the LIP is approved, the City will have a fully
certified LCP, which will enable the transfer of coastal development permit authority to the City of Solana Beach.

DRAFT PUBLIC RECREATION IMPACT FEE STUDY
The City Council approved the updated Draft Public Recreation Impact Fee Study and LUP Amendment with the adoption of
Resolution 2016-039 on April 13, 2016. The Draft Fee Study and LUP Amendment was submitted to the California Coastal
Commission on April 29, 2016. The Draft Fee Study and LUP Amendment are posted on the City website.
In conjunction with the on-going Local Coastal Plan (LCP) certification process with the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the
City agreed to partner with the CCC to update the 2010 Public Recreation/Land Lease Impact Mitigation Fee Study. The purpose
of the land lease/recreation mitigation fee is to compensate the public for the loss of recreational use of the beach due to the
installation of shoreline protective devices such as seawalls. In May 2014, Council approved an agreement with the California
Coastal Commission (CCC) to accept $120,000 in grant funding to be used primarily to support the preparation of an update to
the 2010 fee study. The first public meeting for the fee study update was held at City Hall in September 2014.
The Fee Study update was needed to incorporate and reflect certified Land Use Plan (LUP) policies and to review comments on
dequate representation of surfers as
users of the public beach, and incorporate recent, relevant coastal bluff erosion studies and sea level rise projections into fee study
update.
The final draft of the Fee Study will be included in a LUP Amendment that was submitted to the CCC one day prior to the deadline
of April 30, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the LCP Planning Grant. (Bill Chopyk 720-2449)

BEACH SAND REPLENISHMENT AND RETENTION PROJECTS
50-Year USACE Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Project - The City is pleased to announce that the Solana Beach City Council
unanimously approved the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Solana Beach and Encinitas 50 Year Coastal Storm Damage
Reduction Project under Resolution 2015-080 and certified the Final EIS/EIR at a public hearing held on October 14, 2015. The
The Cities of Solana Beach and Encinitas have been working for more than 15 years as the local sponsors of a long term coastal
storm damage reduction/shoreline protection project with the state and federal government. The state entity directly involved in
financially supporting the project is the California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW). The beach replenishment
project has been designed to be resilient to various future sea level rise scenarios over its 50-year life based on National Research
Council (NRC) data recommended for use by the California Coastal Commission (CCC).
The Project is also consistent with the 2014 adopted CCC Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance document which recognizes beach
nourishment a preferred sea level rise adaptation strategy for developed coastlines. The Project received a unanimous vote of
support from the CCC following a public hearing in November 2013.
The Project was unanimously approved by the USACE Civil Works Review Board (CWRB) on April 21, 2015. The next major
milestone was achieved with the sig
Prefunds from California State Parks and the USACE. With Project implementation, the beaches would be re-nourished on a regular
cycle during a Federal and State investment and participation period of 50 years. (Leslea Meyerhoff 720-2446)
SCOUP - In January 2014, the City completed the process to extend its Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOUP)
for another five years (2019) with new permit approvals received from the California State Lands Commission, CCC, USACE, and
program and is a key sea level rise adaptation strategy. The SCOUP program allows placement of beach compatible sands on the
ently tracking several local projects that may generate beach
quality export material.
The lead time to develop a SCOUP project is approximately 6 months and early coordination with City Staff is important to fac ilitate
final reviews and approvals by the agencies of the sampling and analysis plan (SAP) as well as placement details, monitoring
requirements and other logistics.
If you know of a project which will have beach quality export material from a project site, please call Corey Andrews at 720-2447.
Regional Beach Sand Project - The second Regional Beach Sand Project (RBSP) was successfully completed in 2012 by SANDAG
and the five participating cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Imperial Beach. The regional sand
replenishment project was identical to the successful 2001 project and placed an estimated 140,000 cubic yards of sand on the
Annual Report). Long term shoreline, biological resource and surf monitoring will continue for several more years. According to
SANDAG, gains in beach widths from the 2001 project lasted for approximately five to seven years on average. Although the san d
does move around after placement, shoreline monitoring in 2011 showed that the sand that was placed in 2001 remained along
our coastline providing long-term recreational, economic, environmental and shoreline protective benefits for our region.
SANDAG coordinated the RBSP with supp
came from the five participating cities as well as our partner at California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways. The five
participating cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Imperial Beach collectively received more than 1.5 million
cubic yards of highof local eroded beaches, to support local tourism, and to preserve no-cost public recreational opportunities for residents and
visitors alike.
The sand was recovered from offshore sand deposits (borrow sites), which are relic beaches that signal the location of the fo rmer
shoreline many thousands of years ago when sea level was lower. The dredge sites have been specifically selected to ensure only
clean, beach-quality sand with a color, texture, and size similar or slightly coarser than what currently exists on the beaches be
used for replenishment. (Corey Andrews 720-2447)
Annual Shoreline Monitoring Program - The City of Solana Beach, in conjunction with SANDAG and the other participating cities
continue to monitor the performance of the beach sand project and the overall health of the public beach through local and
regional beach profile data collection and monitoring efforts conducted in the spring and fall each year.

Environmental News You Can Use
October 1st may seem like a trivial date to a lot of people, but for City staff and other storm water professionals around the
it lasts through April 30 th. This is the time of the year when we have to pay close attention to weather reports for when any
significant rain is forecasted.
aware that storm runoffs can take with it every possible known pollutant along its path before it reaches our storm drain
systems and ultimately down to our precious beaches, lagoons and the Pacific Ocean.
The City of Solana Beach is reminding its residents and businesses to be mindful of waste products and other materials that
may have been left unattended during the summer that could potentially contribute to storm water pollution. The
following are simple steps that you can do to help reduce and prevent storm water pollution:

Dispose of garbage and other waste materials in designated areas only. Ensure trash cans and dumpsters are
always covered and inspected regularly for any evidence of leaks. Report leaks to your garbage collector company
immediately.

Adjust irrigation systems to avoid excessive runoff during dry weather.

Store all lawn and garden care products in a closed container or in covered areas.

Remove accumulated oil and grease on driveways and parking areas using dry cleaning methods.

For businesses, review and maintain good housekeeping practices, pollution prevention maintenance practices,
and implement Best Management Practices or BMPs in and around your establishments.

Residents with active construction on their property are urged to work closely with their contractors to ensure
storm water BMPs are properly implemented and maintained throughout the duration of the project. Failure to
comply could result in penalties, including fines up to $1,000.00 per day, per violation.
For more information, please visit www.cityofsolanabeach.org
preserving the natural beauty of Solana Beach and
its surrounding environment remains a top priority.
