Flagler Beach board approves floodplain ordinance raising building-floor elevation to BFE+3
Summary
Board members approved an ordinance amending the floodplain requirement to increase required finished-floor elevation from base flood elevation (BFE) +2 feet to BFE +3 feet; the change was presented as a narrow technical amendment.
The Planning and Architectural Review Board on May 6, 2025, approved an ordinance amending the city's floodplain provisions to change required finished-floor elevation from BFE plus 2 feet to BFE plus 3 feet.
Staff presented the amendment as a straightforward update of the prior floodplain ordinance, stating the only substantive change is increasing the required finished-floor elevation by 1 foot. Board members asked whether the change applied to all structures and were told it applied broadly, not just to manufactured homes.
A motion to approve the ordinance was made, seconded and approved by roll call.
