He reported the following: the Board adopted new flood plain maps in October of 2008; additional changes to the County's flood plain prevention ordinance were required to be more in keeping with a model ordinance created by the North Carolina Emergency Management Office; etc. Mr. Marshall provided a copy of the proposed ordinance to the Board and reviewed several proposed changes to the ordinance, including numbering systems; definitions; basis for establishing special flood hazard areas which reference new maps; the establishment of flood plain permits for regulated flood elevation; and variance procedures. Mr. Marshall stated that there is no substantial change in how the ordinance will be administered and a public hearing is required. Chairman White opened the public hearing at 6:98 p.m. The Public Hearing Notice was published on December 4 and December 14, 2008 in THE INDEPENDENT TRIBUNE. There was no one present to address the Board; therefore, Chairman White closed the public hearing. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Privette, seconded by Vice Chairman Mynatt, and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following ordinance amending Chapter 38, Floods, of the Cabarrus County Code of Ordinances as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CABARRUS COUNTY CODE OE ORDINANCES Ord. No. 2008-15 BE IT ORDAINED that the Cabarrus County Code of Ordinances is hereby amended as follows: CHAPTER 38 ARTICLE II. FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE Change ordinance as follows: ARTICLE II. FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION* *State law references: Authority to acquire or improve beach erosion control and flood and hurricane protection works, G.S. 153A-438. ARTICLE 1 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES Sec. 36-26. SECTION A Statutory authorization of article. The legislature of the state has in G.S. 153A-121 delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the county commissioners do ordain this article. (Ord. of 2-16-87, art. 1, § A; Ord. of 10-17-99, art. 1, § A) Sec. 38-27. SECTION B Findings of fact. (a) The flood hazard areas of the county are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. (b) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, flood-proofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages.
