necessary to carry out the general purpose of Title 21 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code:
1) The inclusion of land in the Floodplain (F-P) Overlay Zone
is a potential hardship on the property owner.
2) It is therefore desirable to facilitate the removal of
land from said zone when new information indicates that
that land may not be actually located in a flood-prone
area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission
of the City of Carlsbad that it does recommend approval to the
City Council of an amendment to Title 21 as follows:
21.31.025 - Zone Boundary Adjustments
The Planning Commission shall initiate a zone change
to remove the F-P overlay designation from a particular
property upon report of the City Engineer that new
information, including but not limited to updated
topographic maps, updated meteorological reports, or
updated Corps of Engineers studies, indicates that a
floodplain boundary line is incorrect.
If such a zone change is approved,
appropriate documentation shall be forwarded to the
Federal Insurance Administration to insure adjust-
ment of said boundary line on Federal Flood Hazard
Boundary Maps.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the
Carlsbad City Planning Commission held on April 28, 1976, by
