Planning for sea level rise to ensure resilient coastal communities is a high priority for local governments, the Coastal Commission, state and federal agencies and stakeholders. The intent of the Commission’s Draft Residential Adaptation Policy Guidance (Guidance) is to provide accessible information on sea level rise adaptation, and a suite of practical land use policy tools to help facilitate planning for resilient shorelines while protecting coastal resources in Local Coastal Programs.
