Item 72 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item asks the Council to hold a public hearing and consider granting variances from the city's floodplain rules so a single-family home can be built at 4502 Avenue F, which sits in both the 25-year and 100-year floodplains of Waller Creek. Because the property falls in flood-prone territory, the ordinance would set specific conditions for the variances and put an expiration date on them. The item has no fiscal impact.
