Summary
After a short public hearing with no testimony, the Anderson County commission approved Resolution 25‑11‑12‑42 to amend the regional zoning resolution to minimize flood risks and preserve participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Anderson County commissioners approved Resolution 25‑11‑12‑42 on May 18, 2026, amending the county's regional zoning resolution to reduce danger to life and property from flooding and to maintain eligibility for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Vice Chairwoman Vandergriff summarized the public hearing and presented the resolution packet; Commissioner McCamey moved for approval and Commissioner Yeager seconded. The commission approved the resolution by voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll‑call tally.
The resolution amends local floodplain provisions to align with NFIP participation requirements and reduce county exposure to flood hazards.

County staff will incorporate the zoning amendments into official code documents and notify the appropriate state and federal agencies as required by NFIP participation rules.
