SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
For a community to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), it must adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed the minimum NFIP standards. To ensure that the Town’s regulations meet Federal and State requirements an update to Floodplain regulations is necessary.
The proposed update moves the Floodplain regulations from Chapter 2 - Overlay districts, to a new section of the Unified Development Code, Chapter 14 - Flood Damage Prevention. The new chapter is based on model code developed by Colorado Water Conservation Board and tailored to Erie.
