Title

Recommendation to approve the proposed amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).

Staff Summary

·      The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has re-evaluated and revised the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) within Lake County.  Appendix M along with minor text amendments of the Lake County UDO has been amended.

·      These text amendments must be adopted prior to September 18, 2013, so Lake County may remain in good-standing in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and continue to be a Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) "Certified Community".

·      The Planning, Building and Development Department staff has reviewed the proposed amendments and recommends that the text of the UDO be amended in accordance with Exhibit A.

·      The Regional Planning Commission will forward a recommendation on the proposed amendments to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning, Building and Zoning Committee and the County Board.
