Subject:CASE: Public Hearing Draft Released
To: Planning Commissioners,
Please see the email pasted below to the City Council from Community Development Director Michael Codron:
Mayor and Council,
Thanks to the great work from City staff in the Fire Department, Office of Sustainability, Utilities, IT, Public
Works, DEI, and Community Development, we have now published the complete Draft Climate Adaptation and
Safety Element for public review. The document can be viewed and downloaded on the City’s website here:
https://www.slocity.org/government/department-directory/community-development/planning-zoning/general-
plan/safety-element.
The Climate Adaptation and Safety Element assesses the city’s vulnerability to hazards in the San Luis Obispo
area and establishes goals, policies, and implementation measures to protect people, property, and the natural
environment. It is designed to realize an equitable, resilient community that thrives despite the changing
climate and other known hazards. This safety element update also includes policies and programs addressing
environmental justice.
Work on the safety element update has spanned over the last two years and includes extensive community
engagement and the Hazards and Vulnerability Assessment work produced through the Resilient SLO project,
funded with a Caltrans Adaptation Planning Grant (additional information on the Resilient SLO project can be
found here: https://www.slocity.org/government/department-directory/city-administration/office-of-sustainability-
and-natural-resources/resilient-slo-2246.)
The Draft Climate Adaptation and Safety Element is also available on Open City Hall to obtain community
feedback (https://www.opentownhall.com/portals/189/Issue_12406). Notifications are sent to all Open City Hall
subscribers and additional news items and social media posts will occur next week.
The Planning Commission reviewed the workshop draft element on October 26, 2022, and the Commission is
scheduled to review the public hearing Draft Climate Adaptation and Safety Element and environmental review
document at their public hearing scheduled on December 14, 2022. The City Council is tentatively scheduled
to review and consider the Draft Climate Adaptation and Safety Element on January 17, 2023.
Please reach out to myself or Teresa McClish with any questions. Thank you! -Michael
