Public Hearing SUB25-9: Tributary Stonefly Cabins—Preliminary Plat

The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the preliminary plat application for the creation of 11 single-family cabin lots within a 5.46 acre parcel of the Stonefly Addition of Tributary. The 11 individual lots will be privately owned and range in size from 0.08 acres to 0.09 acres, totaling approximately 0.96 acres. Each lot is designed to include the footprint of a cabin and its associated detached golf cart structure. The remaining 4.50 acres will be designated as common or limited common area and maintained by a property owner’s association. These shared areas include open space, circulation areas, and two single-story parking garage buildings located on common property. The garages will provide a total of 11 enclosed parking stalls with storage and will also be owned and managed by the association. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the application during a dually noticed public hearing on March 8, 2026, where they motioned to recommend approval of the application to City Council.

Public Hearing: AMD26-1 Floodplain Map & Ordinance Update

The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider an updated Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and the FEMA Flood Map Updates. The ordinance updates regulations for development in flood hazard areas, including permit requirements and construction standards, to reduce flood risks and protect public health, safety, and property. Adoption of the ordinance also maintains the City’s eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Flood risk information is periodically updated as conditions change and mapping technology improves. In coordination with FEMA and state and county partners, updated flood maps reflect the best available data and more accurately identify areas of high, moderate, and low flood risk. These maps can affect development decisions, property improvements, and, in some cases, federal lending requirements for flood insurance.

The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the item during a dually noticed public hearing on March 11, 2026 where they ultimately passed a motion to recommend approval to City Council.
