Title
Consider an ordinance amending the Zoning and Development Code Chapter 4, Article VII, Section 4-88, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition) regarding Subdivision and Addition Plats. (Second Reading)
Body
Atlas 14 is the most recent rainfall data from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The City is adopting this data and applying it to land development projects in a separate action amending the Design and Construction Standards (DACS). This ordinance establishes the date after which subdivision plats must use the Atlas 14 data as October 1, 2020, and states that final plats which have been approved, but not yet recorded, are not required to re-delineate floodplain based on Atlas 14 data, unless the final plat expires before it is recorded with the county.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the ordinance at their meeting on September 16, 2020.
