ATTY/RESO.0070/CC RESO DENYING APPEALS & APPROVING PERMIT FOR 603 JEFFERSON <br />REV: 07-15-16 VR <br />Page 10 of 22 <br />set at or above the base flood elevation, with a recommendation of setting the <br />lowest finished floor elevation 1 foot above the base flood elevation. Chapter 41 <br />of the City’s municipal code requires that all building permits and project <br />plans meet the requirements of the FIRM in effect at the time of permit <br />issuance, regardless of when the project was submitted or deemed <br />complete. Although the project will not be required to consider the updated base <br />flood elevations if construction has started prior to the effective date of the FIRM <br />revisions, the owner may still be subject to FEMA flood insurance requirements <br />based on the elevation certificate filed upon completion of the project. It is <br />recommended that the FFE and any floodproofing be designed to accommodate <br />the new base flood elevations, and that the applicant considers implications to <br />future flood insurance requirements. [COA] [ENGINEERING] <br />24. Elevation Certificate – If all or a portion of the site is within a Special Flood Hazard <br />Area (as shown on the latest FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps in effect at building <br />permit issuance), upon completion of the structure, the elevation of the lowest floor <br />(including basement when applicable) shall be certified by a registered <br />professional engineer or land surveyor, verified by the City’s Building Inspector to <br />be properly elevated, and provided to the Floodplain Administrator. Where required <br />by Chapter 41 of the City’s Municipal Code, the applicant shall also submit <br />certification by a registered professional engineer or architect that the standards <br />for elevation and floodproofing have been satisfied. [COA][ENGINEERING] <br />Utility Infrastructure Improvements <br />25.

Work in the City public right-of-way, easements or property in which the City <br />holds an interest. <br />b. Work requiring a grading permit.

Work requiring on-site shoring which affects the public right-of-way. <br />d. Work using the public right-of-way for any fixed structure (awnings, roof <br />overhangs, fixed planters, etc.).
