Wasco County Commissioners continued a planned hearing on amendments to the County’s Land Use Ordinance regarding a flood hazard overlay zone to May 7. County Planning Director Daniel Daugherty requested the delay after the County recently received a model ordinance and updated guidance from the Federal Emergency Management Administration, the agency requiring the changes. He notes staff needs to time to look at them. Daugherty adds planning staff will review the FEMA documents and determine if they provide additional options or clearer guidelines to meeting standards calling for No-Net-Loss to floodplain functions.
