Planning staff to refer updated flood ordinance for commission approval to maintain NFIP compliance
Summary
Planning staff told the commission the updated flood-ordinance language must be referred from planning commission to city commission and approved (likely first/second reading schedule) to maintain National Flood Insurance Program eligibility for residents.
Andrew, planning staff, briefed the commission that the updated flood ordinance—being considered by the planning commission in September—will be referred to the city commission and likely require a second reading in early October. Staff stated that approval is required to maintain compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program so residents can remain eligible for flood insurance.
Andrew characterized the change as a technical compliance item rather than a policy choice and told commissioners the mapping updates are not substantially more accurate than prior maps; he asked commissioners to be prepared to consider the referral in September and a second reading likely in October.
