Commission updates ordinance citation to match state Century Code change on floodplain authority
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a zoning text amendment to update a Century Code citation in the floodplain management section after a state statutory change (Senate Bill 2027); staff said the change is clerical and does not alter local floodplain rules.
The Minot Planning Commission voted Feb. 10 to approve a text amendment updating a Century Code citation in the city's floodplain ordinance after changes to state law.
City staff told the commission that a state statutory citation (referred to as a Century Code change enacted through Senate Bill 2027 in the transcript) requires an update to the ordinance’s boilerplate authority language. According to staff, the amendment corrects the cited Century Code number and does not change the city's substantive floodplain standards or how the city regulates floodplain areas.
Commissioners asked whether the change affects community members; staff said it does not, and that the amendment is intended to maintain compliance with state and federal requirements. The public hearing drew no speakers for or against, and the commission approved the amendment on a motion and subsequent roll call.
Staff characterized the change as an administrative update to ensure the ordinance cites the correct state statute. The motion to approve was made based on staff findings; a full roll call in the record shows unanimous yes votes.
