AMD26-1 Floodplain Map and Ordinance

Floodplain Map and Ordinance Update

AMD26-1 Floodplain Map & Ordinance Update The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on March 11, 2026 at 6PM 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.
