Title

Public Hearing and Action on Ordinance 25-010, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 38 - Floods, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings, and Pertaining to the Flood Prevention and Regulations.

 

Body

Summary and Recommended Action:

Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance revision.  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and updated the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for the City of Brookings.  To maintain participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the City must update its floodplain ordinance to reference the revised FIS and incorporate additional language to comply with FEMA standards.  The revised ordinance must be adopted and take effect by April 23, 2025, when the new FIS and FIRM maps become official.
