Sea Level Rise Impacts Increase frequency and depth of coastal flooding & inundation Saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers Accelerated beach erosion rates Beach loss Greater frequency of cliff failures Beach/shore safety compromised Costly damages Photo: A.

11 Outputs 1. Erosion Hazards: Future erosion increases hydraulic connection and risk of flooding 2. Coastal Flooding: Inundation during extreme coastal events (integrated with erosion) 1. Wave Velocity: Zone of wave momentum (similar to FEMA V Zone) 4. Rising Tides: Inundation during monthly extreme tides The Nature Conservancy's Coastal Resilience Website Mapping Tool: 9 Uplift Regions in Santa Barbara 11

12 Backshore Characterization Evaluating Uncertainty: Spatial Aggregation 12

13 Goleta s LCP Hazard Zone Overlay will provide locations of potential hazards Saves time for property owners as coastal hazards are currently determined on a case by base basis through Coastal Development Permit This will give the City initial decision making authority for coastal permit issues Goleta s LCP LCP = LUP + IP Land Use Plan Policies Safety Element: Update to policies on SLR, Drought, Wildfire Implementation Plan Hazards Overlay Chapter Transfer of development rights Rolling easements/setbacks Model Landscape Ordinance 13

14 What is a Vulnerability Assessment? Varying levels (determine by data availability and expert input) In or out; Sector approach; Engineering level components Utilizes the hazard identification to identify what is at risk Evaluates the impacts of each type of hazard (e.g. erosion, flooding, inundation) Assesses the impacts to each sector over time (e.g. infrastructure, wastewater, natural resources) Identifies thresholds in either time or rise in sea level Supports adaptation planning, comprehensive strategies, decision making Coastal Hazard Mapping Results 14
