CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of February 12, 2018 — Regular Meeting Page 10 of 12 Program it was required to have a flood ordinance. He explained that this was a mechanism by which residents could purchase reasonably affordable flood insurance which otherwise would be astronomical without the City's participation in the program. Dr. Brock advised that the City's flood regulations had last been updated in 2007 and Ordinance 18-1476 was mainly for the purpose of updating the City's Code to remove redundancies with the updated Florida Building Code and clarifying some requirements, while retaining regulations specific to the City of Casselberry not contained in the Florida Building Code. He did note that one significant change made was to expand the City's variance process to require that protests to a variance decision go through the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to going to the City Commission. He further explained that this process was something the State of Florida was requesting the City do in order to participate in the Community Rating System (CRS), and that participation in CRS was a goal which was set out in the City's new Stormwater and Lakes Management Master Plan. He added that adoption of Ordinance 18-1476 would help toward that effort of joining the CRS, which would in turn result in reduced flood insurance rates benefitting the City's residents.
