Planning Commission Action

The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the code amendment. There were no comments at the public hearing.

Background

Development activity in the Sanctuary Preserve project required a revision to the City’s Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) through applications to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  FEMA issued a Letter of Map Revision in February that became effective July 1, 2016.  FEMA regulations require the City to incorporate these revisions into the City’s Flood Plain Overlay District Ordinance, which is a part of the Zoning Ordinance.   Development included with this revision is all phases in the Sanctuary Preserve project area.  Follow-up applications to FEMA will be processed by the Developer to insure that all homes are removed from the flood zone as they are constructed. 

Recommendation

By motion, approve the Ordinance.
