Great news about the sand replenishment project! Even with Monday's storm, the project is going well and on schedule. Here's a quick update: Additional heavy equipment will be delivered this Friday, January 26th, prompting the closure of the parking lot at Fletcher Cove for public parking from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This additional equipment will support ongoing work north of Fletcher Cove Beach. Beach access to the north of Fletcher Cove will remain closed for the next 3 weeks, considering safety concerns related to construction equipment and activity. Although the vehicular ramp at Fletcher Cove will stay closed, pedestrian access along the south side walkway and the beach south of the Cove will reopen to the public on Saturday. Please note that the construction schedule is subject to change, and we appreciate the public's patience during this crucial project.
As part of the City's Housing Element obligations, the City will be hosting an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Community Workshop on Tuesday, February 6th, at 6:00 PM, at Solana Vista Elementary School (780 Santa Victoria). The purpose of the workshop is to provide an overview of State Law and City regulations related to ADU development. The goal is to raise awareness about the updated ADU regulations and forthcoming ADU programs.
Did you know most residents are enrolled in the Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plan for electricity? Customers on the TOU rate plan pay varying prices per kilowatt-hour (kWh) throughout the day, with higher per-unit prices during designated "on-peak" periods (4:00-9:00 pm) compared to "off-peak" and "super off-peak" periods. The adoption of TOU rate plans in California support a cleaner and more reliable power grid, particularly in Solana Beach, where reliance on clean, renewable energy sources peaks during optimal conditions. Residents can capitalize on lower costs and contribute to a cleaner and more reliable grid by adjusting electricity usage to "off-peak" and "super off-peak" periods when renewable resources such as solar are more abundant and energy demand is lowest.
San Diego County residents and businesses who experienced flooding damage during Monday’s storm can report the damage through an online survey. The survey is intended for individuals, households, and small businesses who may have been impacted by the recent heavy storm to report damages. The County will compile the reports and utilize the data to seek state and federal disaster assistance. Completing the survey does not guarantee disaster assistance. Completing the form does not guarantee that you will be eligible to receive any disaster relief assistance. Filling out the survey is not a substitution for filing a claim with your insurance.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday'sstorm was the 4th wettest day in San Diego since 1850. As we start to get more rain, let’s all do our part to help keep our beaches and oceans clean! Water that goes into the streets, gutters, and storm drains in our neighborhoods IS NOT TREATED before it reaches our local creeks, rivers, and the ocean. All sources of pollution, including soil and sediment, are prohibited from leaving your property and entering streets or storm drains. Only rainwater is allowed in the streets and storm drains.
