Plan commission recommends Village Board approve environmental code update tied to FEMA map changes
Summary
The commission recommended Village Board approval of Ordinance 25-12, which revises Chapter 16 (environmental) to reflect FEMA flood map panel updates and housekeeping language; staff said changes largely update effective dates and do not materially affect village parcels.
The Village of Jackson Plan Commission on Nov. 20 voted to recommend Village Board approval of Ordinance 25-12, a proposed amendment to Chapter 16 (environmental) reflecting updated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood map panels.
Commissioner Van Epperen moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Hoffmeister seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. Village staff explained the change "is essentially what's driving this whole change" and that FEMA's updated panels revise certain flood storage areas in the county. Staff added that "there's nothing that really affects the village other than it's an updated map with a new effective date."
What happens next: The Plan Commission's recommendation sends Ordinance 25-12 to the Village Board for its public hearing and final action. No new local regulatory obligations were announced at the meeting beyond bringing the code text into alignment with FEMA's map updates.
