Climate change effects are not limited to global warming (increases in surface <br />temperatures), but also include sea-level rise, ocean and ice sheet dynamics, ocean acidification, and <br />extreme weather events. <br />Climate resilience — The ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to hazardous events, trends, or <br />disturbances related to climate such as increased frequency and intensity of storms, flooding, wildfires, <br />and extreme heat events. <br />Clustering Destinations – Organizing and concentrating diverse land uses and activities (like residential, <br />commercial, and recreational areas) around transit stations to promote public transportation and create <br />vibrant, walkable communities. <br />Clustering — A development design technique that places buildings on the part of a site that is least <br />sensitive to impacts from development while preserving the natural features and functions on the <br />remainder of the site. <br />Collector Arterial — A street that is two or three-lanes that collects (or distributes) traffic from (or to) <br />local streets within a neighborhood and provides connections to minor or major arterials.
