If approved, the LOMR will revise the floodplain in this area and allow the property to be developed. The property is designated as ‘General Residential’ on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Comprehensive Plan. This request is consistent with the FLUM of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff notified one hundred and fifty-two (152) property owners. To date, staff has received two (2) written responses in support of the request.
