This includes the use of landscaping strategies and stormwater management measures: • Adopt zoning and subdivision regulations relative to rainwater harvesting for sealed surfaces within various plans: o Site planning and architectural integration program (SPAIP, or Plans d’implantation et d’intégration architecturale (PIIA)) o Individual construction plans o General urban plans o Agreements relative to municipal works • Direct runoff water toward wetlands or watercourses, as well as toward public infrastructures that could serve as floodable lands over short periods of time during intense rain (parks, soccer fields, road segments) • Encourage optimal management practices that would allow rainwater to soak into the soil or to be harvested (ex.: green roofs, gardens and rain barrels, retention basins, etc.) instead of directing runoff water toward the pipe network o Remove downspouts that channel water into the sewers and direct rainwater toward permeable surfaces instead • Make regulatory changes for urban planning in general as well as in the way parking lots are built • Increase the use of continuous tree trenches • Encourage the use of plants with different kinds of root systems in phytotechnology projects Other adaptation measures than harvest rainwater are included in the plan for rain storm (heavy rainfalls). For complete information. please refer to the following briefs in the plan: 2.1 Harvest rainwater 2.2 Increase infrastructures’ and buildings’ resilience to runoff water 2.3 Minimize sealed surfaces 2.4 Ensure the capacity of stormwater and combined sewer systems 2.5 Increase and preserve tree and plant cover 2.6 Develop emergency measures for heavy rainfalls | 1942044 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-73.554, 45.5087]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

| 1443 | 2018 | 63941 | Broward County, FL | Broward | United States of America | North America | CDP Cities | public | Permanent inundation | Projects and policies targeted at those most vulnerable | Operation | Business and community stakeholders in Broward County would like to understand how businesses, in the coastal portion of the City of Dania Beach, will continue to operate as sea level rises and disruptions from the annual tidal flooding and storms increase. The County or its cities could require new development to build to a more flood-resistant standard, create space for temporary flood water storage through landscaping, change land use or zoning designations and encourage public-private investment in flood management infrastructure. These strategies may ensure sustained property values and the ability of the businesses in the community to function safely, and remain profitable.Broward County staff and community liaisons will interview business and property owners to collect data that describes the interdependence of various types of businesses. Data points include:• Types of Services• Value of Services• Total Assets• Flood Risk PlanningThe data collected will be used by a contracted economic consultant to develop a “relationship model” that represents the local economy. This model will be manipulated to test how flood conditions will affect certain components of the business community and suggest implications for how property values, employment availability, and services available will respond. This will be the first application of this type of inter-sector resilience effort.Comparing these results to future scenarios will help make the case for investing in resilience and highlight strategies that would be most beneficial to the local economy.As the region continues to engage the private sector as a potential partner in adaptation, this pilot study will provide an example for communities’ to evaluate options through a lens intended to sustain and promote the economy. Information gained from the study will be shared broadly with stakeholders across the region. | 1870000 | 2014 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[80.3659, 26.1901]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

The City is currently undertaking a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which will integrate sustainability principles, analysis and policies throughout and provide a path to improving outcomes on a range of environmental, economic and social measures, such as: leveraging land use and mobility mechanisms to generate more efficient use of existing resources and enhanced quality of life; identifying integrated policy and program solutions to improve air quality, water quality, urban heat island impacts, and other positive environmental outcomes; pursuing policies that increase energy independence and a shift toward renewables, such as those promoted by the Clean Power Alliance; identifying limited and targeted public sector investments and contribute to public benefit outcomes; identifying any existing policies, regulations, and/or practices that perpetuate inequitable outcomes for disadvantaged populations; and analyzing the sustainability of municipal infrastructure systems and identifying potential sustainable infrastructure projects and improvements, including strategies to help the City meet the MS4 water permit requirements. Such an analysis will emphasize multi-benefit projects that offer improvements that touch on multiple elements of the General Plan, such as Recreation, Conservation, Health and Economy as well as Sustainability. | 39395 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.4, 34.02]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||
