SUBJECT: PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO "0-1" FLOODPLAIN ZONING
CLASSIFICATION
The purpose of this Informal Report is to provide an overview of proposed Zoning Ordinance text
amendments to the "0-1" Floodplain classification.
The Comprehensive Plan designates undeveloped 100-year FEMA floodplain as Open Space
and as Vacant, Agricultural, Undeveloped in the Future Land Use maps. The Zoning Ordinance
contains an "0-1" Floodplain zoning classification that can be used to implement the
Comprehensive Plan, but it has not been updated in over 30 years. Staff propose the revisions
below.
• Reference 1 % annual chance floodplain (also referred to as 100-year floodplain), rather
than 50-year floodplain.
• Remove mining as a use that can be approved by the Board of Adjustment.
• Remove industrial water intake, Christmas tree sales, taxicab stands, temporary buildings,
and satellite dishes as allowed uses.
This proposed zoning text amendment is planned for the following public hearings:
Zoning Commission March 11
City Council April 14
The Zoning Commission is scheduled to hear a Council -initiated case for "0-1" zoning on March
11 for two floodplain properties along the Trinity River off East 1st Street. Staff is identifying
additional properties where "0-1" zoning is appropriate and will work with pertinent
Councilmembers and property owners on future zoning changes.
For any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Assistant City Manager, or Stephanie Scott -
Sims, Interim Assistant Development Services Director.
