Signs were posted in front of the <br /> properties affected by LOMA and in the vicinity of properties affected by the LOMR on the <br /> same date, February 6, 2009. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: While there will be no financial impacts associated with the <br /> implementation of amendments to the Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance, and Zoning <br /> Atlas, Section 20.6.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all properties affected by a Zoning <br /> Atlas amendment and all properties within 500 feet of an affected property be sent <br /> notifications. Over $10,000 was spent to mail out 6,531 postcards and 1,822 certified letters. <br /> This cost includes $640 in materials (labels, paper, postcards and envelopes), $7,448 for <br /> postage, and $2,100 in staff time. <br /> However, not making the revisions to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance may put the <br /> County at risk of losing its FEMA accreditation. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Receive the proposed amendments, <br /> 2. Conduct the public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed amendments, <br /> a. Incorporating the amended FDPO text into the Zoning Ordinance text; <br /> b. Making bona fide farming operations subject to Special Flood Hazard Area <br /> Overlay District standards, regulations, procedures, and definitions; <br /> c. Creating a new Zoning Overlay District— Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA); <br /> d. Affirming the various amendments to the FIRM (future SFHA Overlay District) <br /> that FEMA approved on February 2, 2007; and <br /> e. Correcting definitions and references in the Subdivision Regulations to reflect <br /> FDPO terminology. <br /> 3.
