Century Amends Floodplain Management Ordinance
October 27, 2017
The Town of Century has approved revisions to their Floodplain management ordinance requiring a minimum construction height in certain areas.
Last month, the town approved the submission of a draft interlocal agreement with Escambia County asking the county floodplain administrator provide additional review of all development permits for construction within the town’s special flood hazard areas.
To maintain consistency between the town and the county, the county floodplain administrator recommended a “freeboard requirement” under which all development in a flood hazard area be construction at least three feet above the the designated FEMA Base Flood Elevation.
