HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
In 2015 the Florida Legislature passed the Peril of Flood law which specified new requirements for the Coastal Management Element of local government’s Comprehensive Plans. These requirements are related to coastal flooding and the impacts of sea level rise.
Pursuant to Section 163.3178(2)(f), Fla. Stat. (Peril of Flood Law) the attached amendments have been drafted for the City’s Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
City Council conducted the first required public hearing on June 16, 2022, and voted to approve the amendment on first reading, and transmit it to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review. DEO has completed their review, and did not have any objections, recommendations or comments for the City to address, which requires the amendment to now move to the adoption hearing for final action.
The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendments in a 6 to 0 vote at their regular meeting on April 12, 2022.
PRIOR ACTION:
June 16, 2022 - City Council conducted the first of two required public hearings and voted to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 29-22 on first reading and transmit to the Department of Economic Opportunity for review.
