STAFF REPORT July 12, 1993 <br /> Area Plan Commission 1538-93 <br /> Location: <br /> City of South Bend <br /> REQUESTED ACTION: This is an Area Plan Commission initiated <br /> petition to amend South Bend's current <br /> regulations concerning development within <br /> floodplains. The proposed ordinance would <br /> repeal the existing floodplain regulations and <br /> replace them with new standards as mandated by <br /> changes in State and Federal regulations. The <br /> proposed changes are necessary in order to <br /> ensure that City residents will continue to be <br /> eligible for flood insurance. Most of the <br /> existing regulations will remain intact. The <br /> required amendments mainly deal with adding <br /> new definitions and making adjustments <br /> throughout the ordinance with relation to the <br /> new or changed definitions. The proposed <br /> ordinance has been reviewed by the Indiana <br /> Department of Natural Resources to ensure that <br /> the amendments are in line with the new State <br /> and Federal regulations. <br />
