Document Description
The Safety Element update follows the requirements of Section 65302(g) of the California Government Code, which mandates that a Safety Element contain background information and policies to address multiple natural hazards, an analysis of vulnerabilities from climate change, policies to improve climate change resilience, and an assessment of residential areas with evacuation constraints. The Safety Element update covers the following safety issues: seismic and geologic hazards, hazardous waste and materials, flood and inundation hazards, fire hazards, extreme heat and severe weather, drought, human health hazards, and emergency preparedness and response. The Safety Element update is a programmatic document, which provides strategies to address public safety and resilience issues and would not result in an increase in development capacity in the City. The project includes an Addendum to the City of El Cerrito General Plan EIR (State Clearinghouse Number 1999022058) for the adopted Environmental Impact Report for the City of El Cerrito General Plan Update.
