Vision
The Pacifica Team strives to be a city-based educator, advocate, collaborator to City officials on plans affecting the fragile coast and hillsides. This can be achieved through close scrutiny of official planning documents, providing public comment, joining forces with like-minded organizations (e.g. One Shoreline, 350.org, Fossil Free CA). Promoting nature-based and long-term solutions will be a guiding principle.
Strategy
The Pacifica Team engages with local leaders (elected and volunteer), community members, public agency staff on matters involving land use and environmental justice. Team members advocate for Sierra Club priorities as they apply to Pacifica, partnering with other organizations as appropriate. Work towards incorporating sound planning principles into official city plans, including General Plan, specific plans, Climate Action Plan, and capital plans.
