RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Flood Insurance Rate Map Revisions based on studies provided by a proposed project located near W 15" Street and S Razorback Road (West Branch) in accordance with Chapter 168, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Unified Development Code. BACKGROUND: Chapter 168, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates development within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). This regulation includes several provisions that limit the development in areas designated as Zone A due to the approximate nature of the flood zone. With the Zone A areas there is no detailed engineering study to determine the location of the floodway, and the floodplain is simply approximated using several different techniques by FEMA. Chapter 168 does, however, allow for the applicant to perform a detailed flood study and provide that with the application process for review. If the City is in agreement, the ordinance also allows for this study to be adopted and treated as the regulatory SFHA within the area of concern. In these areas, this newly adopted floodplain based on a more detailed analysis is then treated as a Zone AE, base flood elevation determined. Specifically, this provision is found within Section 168.10, item (f) as noted below: (0 In all areas designated as a Zone A on the FIRM where a detailed study has not been completed to specify the floodway and base flood elevations, no building or fill shall be located within a distance of two and one-half (2%) times the width of the stream measured from the top of the bank to the top of bank, or 25 feet on each side, whichever is greater. (i) Provided, the applicant may choose if not required by other provisions of this chapter, to provide a detailed hydrologic and hydraulic study which delineates the floodway, one hundred Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 (100) year floodplain boundary, and base flood elevations. At such time a study is provided and adopted by ordinance, the applicant shall meet all requirements for areas designated with floodway, one hundred (100) year floodplain, and base flood elevations. DISCUSSION: The proposed detailed study provides additional technical information in determining the extent of the floodplain and floodway as required by the ordinance. While it has not been through the official FEMA review, it does represent the best available information to the community at this time and can be adopted as noted in Chapter 168 of the UDC. At such time that a revised FIRM from FEMA is adopted it would supersede the attached exhibits when they are adopted by the City. With the referenced section of stream, the applicant has chosen to provide a detailed study at their expense in accordance with Chapter 168. This would allow them to utilize the more detailed information in the same way that others developing near already studied streams can utilize the requirements of the AE zone outlined in Chapter 168. As noted in Chapter 168, before this can be recognized it must be adopted by ordinance before the applicant can be issued a floodplain development permit and proceed with the proposed project. Given that, staff has worked with the applicant and reviewed the proposed flood study with exhibits. The applicant will also provide evidence that they have notified any impacted property owners upstream or downstream of the proposed development. Those owners will be given the opportunity to voice their opinions on the proposed change by contacted staff or attending the public hearing. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: There is no budgetary impact except for the staff time spent in review of the proposed project and development of the ordinance information.
