Overview: The Town of Chapel Hill has received the Letter of Final Determination dated April 19, 2018 from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. This Letter completed the flood study and mapping revision and review process, and it began the six-month compliance period, during which the Town must adopt the revised Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Maps through amendments to its Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. This action is necessary in order to maintain the Town's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.

On October 18, 2017, the Town Council enacted an ordinance amendment for the portion of Chapel Hill in Orange County; this amendment is for the portion of Chapel Hill in Durham County.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council call a public hearing for October 10, 2018 to receive comments and to consider enacting amendments to incorporate the revised Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Maps into the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Chapter 5, Article IV of the Code of Ordinances.
