We honor, respect and acknowledge Elkrow's first inhabitants, the Plains Maywalk, who

lived as sovereign caretakers of this land and these waterways since time immemorial.

We commemorate and advocate for the descendants of the Wilton Rancheria tribe, the only federally

and determination of their ancestors, tribal members and leaders.

Committee by point one is Municipal Code General Plan Amendment flood control prevention.

Good evening Planning Commission.

Sarah Kirchgesner planning.

The proposed project includes general plan amendments and municipal code amendments.

They are text amendments would provide exceptions to allow for the construction of non-habitable

structures and public infrastructure such as trails, non-habitable maintenance facilities

and similar equipment to be located within the 100 year floodplain on a case by case

basis when such construction would not result in upstream or downstream impacts.

The amendments consist of revisions to Title 16 as well as Title 23 specifically Chapter

1650 and 23100 as well as concurrent revisions to the general plan.

The need for the proposed amendments was identified while reviewing a capital improvement project

and as part of the hydraulic analysis it was determined that the project wasn't able to

meet the current regulations.

Pursuant to the current municipal code no increase in water service elevation is allowed

and according to FEMA's definition that means 0.00 feet.

The hydraulic model that was used to calculate the water service elevation increase is developed

with assumptions that can easily affect its accuracy.

City staff reviewed the municipal codes from other agencies within our stormwater partnership

and to determine how they regulate these increases and most of the agencies that we looked at

limited that water surface elevation increase to a foot.

Given the level of accuracy of the modeling software as well as the policies of these

neighboring agencies staff determined that the current adopted regulations were too restrictive.

Additionally during this review staff also determined that there was a clerical issue

in the general plan flood policies related to non-havital structures that needed to be
