Dive Brief:
The City of San Diego Planning Department is seeking public feedback as it develops a climate resilience plan focused on preparing for sea level rise, flooding and drought, extreme heat and wildfires risks backed up by a climate change vulnerability assessment completed early last year. The Climate Resilient SD plan would build on the city’s Climate Action Plan released in 2015.
A survey seeking residents anecdotes on how climate change has already impacted their communities, and gauging residents resilience priorities going forward, closes Friday. The planning department will then analyze responses before distributing a second survey. It aims to release a draft version of the plan this summer with a goal of submitting it to the city council for approval by year s end.

Plans for a controversial belvedere shade structure at La Jolla’s Windansea Beach got support from the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee in a 6-1 vote Feb. 16.
The public-private project would build a belvedere (sometimes referred to as a gazebo) at Neptune Place near Rosemont Street as part of a broader list of planned improvements between Westbourne Street and Palomar Avenue, including better path delineation and repairs to the beach stairs and post-and-chain barriers. The whole project is to be funded by Friends of Windansea. The gazebo is expected to cost $24,000.
