GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED The purpose of this work session item is to obtain feedback from Council regarding proposed revisions to the floodplain regulations for the Poudre River. The goal of this review was, to the degree possible, have City and County regulations the same, while still balancing risk with regulation. • Does Council have any concerns about the proposed changes? • Floodway Rise • Floodway Modification • Product Corridor • Freeboard Level • Dryland Access • Critical Facilities in 100-year Floodplain • Critical Facilities in 500-year Floodplain • LOMR-Fill Requirements Is there any additional information Council would like? BACKGROUND Properties in the Poudre River floodplain in the City of Fort Collins have different regulations than those located in Latimer County. Approved developments in the County are sometimes unbuildable after they are annexed to the City due to these different regulations. The approved East Mulberry Corridor Plan identified the need to make floodplain regulations for the Poudre River in the City and County as consistent as possible. Staff has been meeting with County staff to identify where City and County regulations differ. Because each jurisdiction's authority and tools for administration of floodplains are different, identical regulations are not feasible. City and County staff have identified however, several recommendations that would address most of the problems created by the different regulations. This analysis by staff was done under the premise of finding areas where common criteria was possible while balancing risk with regulation. December 12, 2006 Page 2 Proposed Changes Attachment A is a table summarizing the changes proposed to better align the floodplain regulations. Attachment B is a Quick Guide used to help explain the proposed floodplain regulations. Attachment C is a map of the Poudre River showing the various floodway configurations along the corridor. Attachment D shows this same information with publicly owned properties highlighted. Attachment E contains acreage information relative to the proposed changes. Finally,Attachment F is a copy of the staff presentation. Outreach Activities Presentations were made to four City Boards and Commissions to solicit their comments or recommendations. A joint City and County open house was held to solicit comments from the public on the proposed changes. City Boards and Commissions Following is a summary of the various boards and commissions discussions. Minutes were not available when this packet was distributed,however,a recommendation from the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board is included on Attachment G. Water Board—The Water Board formally passed a motion(7-2)in support of the proposed changes with Alternative 2, to not allow hazardous materials critical facilities in the 100-year floodplain. Two members did not support the motion because they believed the City shouldn't lower any of its regulations for the Poudre River. Planning and Zoning Board—The Planning and Zoning Board discussed this item at a study session and it was the consensus of the members present to support the proposed changes with Alternative 2,to not allow hazardous materials critical facilities in the 100-year floodplain.One member did not voice an opinion because they believed they did not have enough information to express an opinion. Land Conservation and Stewardship Board—The Land Conservation and Stewardship Board did not act on the proposed changes as a whole.The Board supported staff s minimum recommendation to remove the product corridor and dryland access regulations. It also supported staff s proposal to add stability and environmental factors to the County's floodway modification regulations. Finally, the Board recommended Council adopt Alternative 2, to not allow hazardous material critical facilities in the 100-year floodplain. The Board did not take action on the other staff recommendations because it believed it was not under its area of expertise to offer a recommendation. Natural Resources Advisory Board—The Natural Resources Advisory Board discussed this item at two of its meetings and formally passed a motion unanimously in support of Alternative 2, the regulation of hazardous materials in the 100-year floodplain due to concerns about the environmental impacts of hazardous materials in flood waters. The Board chose not to take a position on the other recommended changes. County Boards and Commissions Larimer County Board of County Commissioners and County Planning Commission—The Board of County Commissioners and County Planning Commission held a joint work session to discuss December 12, 2006 Page 3 the proposed changes. County staff presented history and salient points of the proposed changes to the floodplain regulations. Clarification was made that on a lot with an existing structure, any new structure would need to be 24-inches above the flood elevation or an increase of 6-inches over the current regulations. The question was raised ifthe proposed requirements for floodway modification would prevent"channelization"or narrowing of the floodway and staff responded that the language regarding stability was intended to do just that, although additional language might be appropriate. The comment was made given the degree of effort that has been expended by staff,they would like to see the effort move forward in a timely manner if possible. Open House Summary A joint open house between the City and County was held on November 14th at the Lincoln Center. Approximately 3,500 notices were mailed to City and County property owners in the floodplain along with a press release in the Coloradoan, advertising the open house. Approximately 55 property owners attended the open house. At the open house a comment sheet was available for comments. Three comment sheets were returned requesting copies of the open house materials and the other stated that more monies should be directed toward flood control projects. Verbal comments received by staff were overall in favor of the proposed changes.

Changes in these floodplains must be approved by FEMA (p . 5) . • The City-basin floodplains further identify the flood hazard . Some of the flooding in City-basin floodplains is from irrigation ditch spills or undersized storm sewers that result in overland flooding. Changes in these floodplains can be approved by the City (p . 5) . • For floodplain regulation purposes, a floodplain property is either in a FEMA-basin floodplain, a City-basin floodplain or the Poudre River floodplain. Revised Mapping • Because the City has remapped all of the floodplains in Fort Collins, except the Poudre River, to reflect the rainfall standard adopted by City Council in 1999, there now is a new City floodplain in the areas that also have a FEMA floodplain. • For those floodplains, other than the Poudre River, currently designated by FEMA, the revised City mapping has been submitted to FEMA for adoption. FEMA adoption is expected in late 2006 . Floodplain Designations Floodplain Name Poudre River FEMA -Basin City-Basin Poudre River X Spring Creek X Dry Creek X Cooper Slough X Boxelder Creek X Fossil Creek X Old Town X Canal Importation X McClellands Creek X Mail Creek X Foothills Channel X West Vine X 3 4 Floodway 100-year Floodplain Flood Fringe City Floodway Flood Fringe 6" rise Area of floodplain that is allowed to be filled • The floodway is the portion of the floodplain with the greatest depths and velocities . • The floodway is the area of highest risk. • The floodway must be preserved to allow the floodwater to pass through without being obstructed . • Areas along the flood fringe are allowed to be filled and developed, but this raises the 100-year flood level. The City has set an allowable rise of 0 . 5 feet. Floodway Modifications • Floodways can be modified, but the applicant must be able to show that the project causes no-rise in the 100-year flood level. • In the Poudre River floodplain, the applicant must submit information to FEMA for approval before and after construction if the boundaries of the floodplain or floodway change . • If the applicant's project causes a rise, the applicant must show the entire rise is on their property or obtain easements from other property owners . No structures can be impacted by a rise in the flood level . • The floodway modification will be evaluated based on broad criteria, including: —effects upon lands upstream, downstream and in the immediate vicinity; —effects upon the 100-year flood and channel stability; —any adverse environmental effects on the watercourse, including bank erosion, streamside trees, vegetation and wildlife habitat; —any adverse effects on the flood elevation, velocities, rate of rise, channel stability and sediment transport; and —protection of the natural areas required to convey flood flows and retain flow characteristics .

All remodel work , , Vertical including vertical ( Pop-top) addition , counts addition toward substantial improvement ❑ 1 � � 6 Basement Substantial Improvement and Redevelopment Substantial improvement occurs when all of the following conditions are met: 1 . A building permit is requested for any repair, reconstruction or improvement to a non-conforming structure, involving alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of the building; 2 . The cost of the improvement, or the amount of damage, equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either before the improvement or repair is started or before the building was damaged; and 3 . The cost is calculated cumulatively over the life of the structure . A substantial improvement policy ensures that non-conforming structures are brought into conformance over time and are therefore protected from flood damage and the risk to occupants is reduced . Redevelopment occurs when there is a substantial improvement and more than 50 percent of the wall perimeter of any floor of a structure that is partially or completely below the flood elevation is removed or replaced and the building footprint is not increased . Residential Structures and Residential Portions of Mixed - Use Structures If a substantial improvement occurs, the lowest floor (p . 12-13) of a non-conforming structure, including the basement, and all HVAC, electrical and utilities, must be elevated 24 inches above the flood elevation.

A community must sign-off on the application to FEMA and certify that all existing and future structures will be "reasonably safe from flooding. " To meet this "reasonably safe from flooding" standard, all floodplain requirements (p . 8-9) must be met even if fill is placed and the property is "removed" from the floodplain by FEMA. 100-year Floodplain Floodway 100-year Fill flood level elevated 24" i Floodplain Fringe Example of fill placed in the flood fringe Plan View : Fill Floodplain Fringe - - - - - - - _ _ _ Floodway - - - - - - - _ _ 19 20 Outside Storage of Materials or Equipment and Floatable Materials • "Floatable material" is defined as material that is not secured in place or completely enclosed in a structure so that it could float off-site during a flood and potentially cause harm to downstream property owners or that could cause blockage of a culvert, bridge or other drainage facility. • In the floodway, all outside storage of material or equipment, including floatable materials, associated with any non-residential use is not allowed . • In the flood fringe, floatable materials associated with any non-residential use is not allowed . • In the flood fringe, outside storage of material or equipment that is not considered "floatable material" is allowed .
