Request/Subject

Request to Publish a Proposed Amendment to the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance, and to Request that the Board set a Public Hearing Date for the Adoption of the Amendment.
Background Information
An amendment is proposed to the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance.  Section 8.2 of the Ordinance requires that the Board set a hearing date, allowing time for notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the County at least thirty days prior to the date of the hearing.
Evaluation
This amendment corrects erroneous references in the Ordinance, clarifies some wording, adds consistency in the jurisdiction of the Ordinance, and adds provisions to allow permitting of wet flood-proofed large parking buildings between 600 and 1400 square feet without a variance from the Board, if certain criteria are followed.  Staff have discussed and come to agreement with the National Flood Insurance Program liaison for Arizona regarding the proposed changes.
Conclusion
This Ordinance amendment is necessary to correct erroneous references, to clarify some requirements and jurisdiction of the Ordinance, and to add more options for our residents in building large parking buildings without variances, while still considering the safety of our residents.
Recommendation
The Gila County Floodplain Administrator recommends that the Gila County Flood Control District Board of Directors approve the publication of the proposed amendment to the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance, and set the public hearing date of April 7, 2015.
