ANALYSIS:
Variance Request:
One April 25, 2016, the applicant requested a variance from Section 35-F124 (f) (20) of the Unified Development Code (UDC). The TCI Department, Storm Water Division has no objection to the granting of the variance as indicated in the attached report (ATTACHMENT #1).
FEMA Study:
A CLOMR was prepared to reclaim the subject site from the effective floodplain for proposed development. The study has shown no increase in water surface elevations within Leon Creek and proven no adverse impact to adjacent properties or the FEMA 1% annual chance floodplain with the proposed improvements. In addition, a past City regional detention facility was constructed in the early 2000s southwest of the subject site and has caused an increase in base flood elevation of approximately two feet on the subject property.
It is noted that a Floodplain Development Permit (FPDP) will not be issued until a CLOMR is approved by FEMA. In addition, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) must be prepared and approved by FEMA indicating the as-built conditions for the said channel improvements to Leon Creek to release any building permits for approval.
