That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) approving the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan to address the effects of sea level rise along the Hayward shoreline.
SUMMARY
The Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) prepared the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan (Plan) to make the shoreline more resilient to the effects of sea level rise. The Plan is the culmination of a two-year effort that included significant public outreach and engagement with property owners and public agencies responsible for stewardship of the shoreline area. It includes background information with historical context, mapping of potential inundation with different sea level rise and groundwater emergence scenarios, adaptation strategies, and recommended policies and projects that may be implemented. Staff recommends adopting the Plan.
