Board hears seawall and CIP updates, including living‑seawall incentive
Summary
Staff reported progress on seawall projects and said a living‑seawall fee waiver incentive is planned; members pressed for information on resident costs and grant assistance for private seawalls.
Staff updated the board on seawall projects in design and on a planned living‑seawall incentive that would credit permit fees for qualifying designs. "The fee waiver is for a living seawall," a staff member said, noting the program is upcoming and intended to encourage resilient shoreline solutions.
Board members asked for estimated costs per linear foot for seawalls and whether existing grant programs (CDBG noted) could help private property owners. Staff said the city is developing task orders for design, coordinating with utilities where needed, and that several projects (Del Mar, Aurelia, Riverwalk North) are advancing through design and coordination stages.
