Ordinance - First Reading - Amending Chapter 6 “Buildings & Building Regulations” - Malek Hall, Floodplain Coordinator, Community Affairs/Building Services
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Marco Island is updating the flood-damage-prevention provisions in Chapter 6-Buildings & Building Regulations-to prepare for the Community Rating System (CRS) cycle verification visit.
This comprehensive, periodic audit, conducted by an ISO/CRS Specialist, evaluates a community’s entire Floodplain Management Program under FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FEMA has reviewed the City’s building regulations for compliance with all applicable codes, including federal and state minimum regulatory requirements.
An ISO/CRS Specialist is an employee of Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), which serves as the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) management contractor for the National Flood Insurance Program’s CRS.
The proposed amendment will align Marco Island’s regulations with the FEMA-approved Florida Model Floodplain Ordinance.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: N / A

POTENTIAL MOTION: "I move to approve the first reading of Ordinance 26-11.”
