ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
To make minor modification the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, as required by FEMA.
BACKGROUND
On February 15, 2019 the City received a Letter of Final Flood Hazard Determination, which provided us with the following instructions: Because the FIS report establishing the flood hazard information for your community has been completed, certain additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, within 6 months from the date of this letter. Prior to August 15, 2019, your community is required, as a condition of continued eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d and e) of the NFIP regulations (44 CFR 59, etc.) by the effective date of the FIRM. These standards are the minimum requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. It must be emphasized that all the standards specified in Paragraph 60.3(d and e) of the NFIP regulations must be enacted in a legally enforceable document. This includes adoption of the current effective FIS report and FIRM to which the regulations apply and other modifications made by this map revision. Some of the standards should already have been enacted by your community in order to establish initial eligibility in the NFIP. Your community can meet any additional requirements by taking one of the following actions: 1. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d and e); 2. Adopting all the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d and e) into one new, comprehensive set of regulations; or 3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d and e). Corrections(highlighted red) have been made to the existing Ordinance...See 157.07 and 157.09 in the attachments. Also, find a copy of the Final Flood Hazard Determination Letter in attachments.
