In August, Marin County finalized a 13-year process of amending the Local Coastal Program (LCP); a project EAC has been involved in since the beginning. However, the County failed to update the critical environmental hazards (EH) policies written over 40 years ago, which we believe is irresponsible and neglects the public’s responsibility to protect and advance healthy, safe, and equitable communities. The danger of rising sea levels and flooding was not considered in the 1980s planning documents, and we vehemently disagree with maintaining outdated EH policies in the face of the climate emergency. Unfortunately, the County ultimately decided to finalize a partial update and is now coping with how to implement the outdated policies alongside the updated policies as development permit applications are submitted.
