Summary
Commissioner Wenham suggested that routine floodplain use permits with zero flood impact shouldn't need a full Planning Commission hearing, citing hundreds of staff hours. Staff will study whether a lower-level process could work without jeopardizing the city's FEMA Community Rating System score, which currently earns residents a 15% flood insurance discount.
