explanation

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
This ordinance amends Article VIII. Environmental Management, Division 3. Environmental Overlays, Subdivision II. Flood Control District in the Land Development Code by updating nomenclature and clarifying the text. Identified during a pro-active review of the regulations, these amendments will better recognize the best available data and will improve the development review process. The amendments include new definitions, amendments to existing definitions, and improved references to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or best available data in development review.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on January 10, 2012. On January 26, 2012, the City Plan Board, by a vote of 4-0, recommended approval of the petition with modifications to the definitions. In addition, staff has moved definitions from Section 30-280 within the Flood Control District subdivision to a more appropriate location within Section 30-23 because of their applicability to other portions of the Land Development Code.
