Task 4 — Sea Level Rise Assessment — The consultant will be tasked with using the best available science on sea level rise, such as the USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System 3.0 (CoSMoS), the State of California Adaptation Planning Guide, California Energy Commission Cal -Adapt Web Portal, and Pacific Institute Sea Level Rise GIS layers, along with the Commission's Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance document and the Natural Resources Agency's Safeguarding California Plan for Reducing Climate Risk to complete an analysis of potential sea -level rise risk in the coastal zone. The following work approach is based on the recommendations provided in Chapter 5 of the California Coastal Commission Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance, adopted August 12, 2015. The basic steps of the sea level rise assessment are summarized below and include 1) identify and map sea level rise hazards, 2) assess the vulnerability of development and resources in the coastal zone, and 3) develop adaptation policies and programs to minimize the adverse impacts associated with sea level rise. Sea Level Rise Hazard Analysis. The City has a history of coastal flooding when large storm waves coincide with high water levels, and sea level rise is expected to increase the frequency and severity of these types of events. Coastal hazards during storm conditions and non -storm conditions will be evaluated for three sea level rise scenarios of 50 cm (1.6 feet), 100 cm (3.3 feet) and 150 cm (4.9 feet). These three scenarios cover most of the sea level rise projections out to 2100 and provide a basis for understanding how hazards and vulnerabilities change with each increment of sea level rise. The results of the coastal hazards analysis will be compiled and mapped within the ArcGIS platform for each scenario. The proposed analysis provides a realistic forecast for planning purposes. Additional analysis scenarios, if requested, will require augmentation to the scope and budget. The following sea level rise related coastal hazards will be evaluated in the LCP. • Coastal storm related flooding and erosion will be evaluated using results from the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) 3.0 published by USGS. City of Seal Beach LCP -17 -01 Page 5 of 13 EXHIBIT B1 • Verify potential connections to the adjacent water bodies of Anaheim Bay and the San Gabriel River to ascertain whether CoSMoS predictions are correct for certain areas. • Nearshore wave transformation profiles will be developed to evaluate the Seal Beach Municipal Pier's exposure to sea level rise. • Non -storm related flooding will be evaluated by comparing high water levels, such as a "king tide" events with existing topography in the City. • Beach width changes due to sea level rise will be evaluated using an empirical method such as the modified Bruun rule or through the CoSMoS 3.0 modeling effort. • The effectiveness of sediment management activities such as winter dike building, sand backpassing, and beach nourishment will be evaluated using empirical methods for wave runup and overtopping. Vulnerability Assessment. The coastal hazard maps prepared for each sea level rise scenario will be compared with the City's resource database to evaluate potential sea level rise impacts on infrastructure, development and coastal resources, including beach access, in the LCP planning area. The resource database will be compiled using available information from the City's inventory of parcels, critical infrastructure, assets and coastal resources. The vulnerability assessment approach will be consistent with the Coastal Commission's Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance. The vulnerability of an asset or resource will depend on factors such as exposure to sea level rise hazards, sensitivity to hazards and adaptive capacity. Results of the vulnerability assessment will inform preparation of the LCP by identifying "impact thresholds" at which significant planning areas, assets or coastal resources could be impacted by sea level rise. The consequence of the identified impacts will also inform the policies and programs of the LCP to minimize risk to important infrastructure, basic services and valuable resources, including public beach access. The vulnerabilities and the consequences identified in this assessment will help prioritize planning efforts to account for the urgency (time horizon) of each impact, and the importance of each impact on the community and resources. Adaptation Measures. Once the vulnerabilities and consequences have been identified and prioritized, a list of adaptation strategies will be developed to minimize impacts on assets and resources from sea level rise related hazards. The list of potential adaptation measures will provide a starting point for development of policies and programs of the LCP. Adaptation strategies will include planning level measures, policy level measures and also specific project measures in an effort to improve resilience to sea level rise hazards. Both near -term and long -term strategies will be developed to build adaptive capacity into the City's important assets and resources. Planning level efforts may include sea level rise hazard overlay maps, public outreach and education. Policy level measures may include land use or zoning regulations aimed at minimizing risk to existing and future development. Project level measures will consider strategies such as accommodation, City of Seal Beach LCP -17 -01 Page 6 of 13 EXHIBIT B1 protection and retreat and evaluate the effectiveness of sediment management measures such as beach nourishment, sand backpassing and winter dike building. i. Task 4.1 —Sea Level Rise Hazard Analysis: Collect & Review Sea -Level Rise data ii. Task 4.2 — Assess Existing Conditions & Sensitivities and prepare Draft Vulnerability Assessment iii. Task 4.3 — Provide coordination with Coastal Commission staff and other stakeholders and revise and finalize the Vulnerability Assessment based on stakeholder input iv.

Task 4.5 — Provide coordination with Coastal Commission staff and other stakeholders receive input on draft Adaptation Measures vi. Deliverables: Sea Level Rise Hazard Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment; and Draft Adaptation Measures 5. Task 5 — Prepare Seal Beach LCP Drafts and Maps —The consultant will continue reviewing and organizing all relevant data collected from the initial kick -off meeting with City statt and early consultation with Coastal Commission Staff, by integrating data from the sea - level rise assessment, updated issues assessment, and public outreach efforts into the prior draft LUP. The consultant will update the City's prior draft LUP in order to focus on the City's goals of focusing on redevelopment opportunities, providing adequate public services, addressing sea level rise and coastal hazards, protecting biological resources, providing better connections between the beach areas and the downtown, maximizing coastal access and recreation, and enhancing bicycle, pedestrian, and alternative public transit circulation. The updated draft LUP will initially require the development of a policy framework that involves a programmatic inventory of biological and wetland resources using graphics, tables, and matrices. The policy framework will be provided to Coastal Commission staff for review and approval before moving forward with the draft LUP. Additionally, the consultant will prepare GIS base maps of the Coastal area to show land uses and resources within the coastal zone. The overall LCP document will reflect and incorporate recommendations from current Coastal Commission guidance documents. The consultant team will research and incorporate best practice approaches to key LCP issues and policy, including lower cost visitor serving accommodations, visitor serving and coastal dependent land uses, public access, beach use and special events, and other subjects as locally appropriate. A series of "Issue Memos' will be developed over time for key issues and policy points, outlining local research data, issues, constraints, and potential policy resolutions. A Coastal Implementation Plan (IP) will be prepared as part of the draft LCP for review and incorporation into the Final LCP. Comments from a prior draft LCP indicated all development regulations from existing Specific Plans within the coastal zone must be City of Seal Beach LCP -17 -01 Page 7 of 13 EXHIBIT B1 specifically incorporated into the implementation plan, not by reference, if the City intends for these Specific Plans to be part of the standard of review for coastal development permits issued by the City. The consultant will ensure that these land use and development policies and regulations are incorporated, as appropriate, so the LCP can be certified as a stand -alone document. Additionally, the Implementation Plan will establish a Coastal Development Permit Ordinance that identifies policies, standards, and procedures for processing coastal development permits at the local level following certification of the LCP. i.

In the event of a termination or suspension, the Grantee shall immediately stop work and take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs requiring reimbursement by the Commission. The Commission shall then only be responsible for any reasonable and non - terminable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of this Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate or suspend, but not to exceed the balance of the total funds which remains unencumbered under this Agreement at the time of termination.
