CODE AMENDMENT INITIATION REVIEW SHEET Amendment: Initiate an amendment to Title 25 of the City Code regarding floodplain regulations. Description: In November 2019, City Council approved revisions to the floodplain regulations to better protect our residents from flooding in response to a new rainfall study published by the National Weather Service called Atlas 14. Part of that process included an exemption for residential redevelopment. As an extension of that process, we would like to develop language for a commercial redevelopment exemption. The proposed code amendment would allow a commercial property to redevelop in a manner that reduces flood risks compared to existing conditions. Proposed Language: TBD Background: Initiation recommended by Codes and Ordinances Subcommittee on November 17, 2021. Staff Recommendation: NA Board and Commission Actions: Council Action: Ordinance Number: NA City Staff: Kevin Shunk Phone: (512)974-9176 Email: kevin.shunk@austintexas.gov 1 1 of 1B-26
