Community Plans guide the physical development of neighborhoods by establishing the goals and policies for land use. The land use element is one of the state-required elements of a City’s General Plan. While the General Plan sets out a long-range vision and guide to future development, the 35 Community Plans provide the specific, neighborhood-level detail, relevant policies, and implementation strategies necessary to achieve the General Plan objectives. *The Venice Coastal Zone is within the Venice Community Plan area.

The California Coastal Commission (CCC) provides guidelines for updating the Land Use Plan (LUP) and Local Implementation Plan (LIP). The Land Use Plan guidance document covers the resource protection policies contained in Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act grouped into eleven sections, and implementation measures related to carrying out the policies of the LUP. The Implementation Plan guidance document covers the procedures that local governments use to implement LCP policies involving local issuance of coastal permits, zoning, and other implementing ordinances that conform with and carry out the Land Use Plan.

Climate change is predicted to exacerbate sea level rise and sea level rise in turn is predicted to expedite beach erosion and increase the chances of bigger floods and higher tides. The City of LA has initiated research on SLR with USC's Sea Grant Program. In summary, Venice's collection system (for run-off, sewage), building stock, and roads are highly vulnerable. However, they are also adaptable; with preparation and the willingness to address issues, consequences can be reduced. This study is available online and the button above links to it.
