Information
Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution FCD 13-01 revising the Floodplain Regulations as shown in Attachment A to ensure compliance with State and Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) requirements, effective March 1, 2013.
Background:
The Floodplain Management Regulation has not been updated since 2003. Since it has been 10 years, many of the current rules and regulations are not in compliance with State and the Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) requirements and in some cases vague as to exact requirements for property owners and commercial development when building within a special flood hazard area. This current draft reflects needed changes and would put us in good standing with FEMA – National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR/State liaison with FEMA)
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, staff will administer development within affected areas with the new regulations.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Should the item not be approved, the County could face suspension from the NFIP and/or loss of our Community Rating System (CRS) rating, which provides all citizens of Cochise County a 5% discount on flood insurance.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please provide Teresa (Vasquez) Garcia with a copy of the approved resolution.
