Recommendation: That the Board adopt an Ordinance creating Sections 14-61 through 14-65 of Chapter 14, Article III, Buildings and Building Regulations, applicable to Pensacola Beach under the control of the Santa Rosa Island Authority.

BACKGROUND:

At its September 3, 2015 meeting, the Board approved setting the Public Hearing for consideration of adopting the above-referenced ordinance.

Pursuant to Chapter 553.73(5), Fla. Stat., the Board will be making local amendments to the Florida Building Code, by adopting a requirement to (1) regulate the area within the jurisdiction of the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) as coastal high hazard areas and (2) require accumulation of costs of improvements and repairs of buildings, based on issued building permits, over a 10–year period, for the purpose of participating in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System. The SRIA has requested the Board amend both the floodplain requirements for Pensacola Beach (by separate ordinance) and amend the Florida Building Code in order to help improve the Pensacola Beach CRS rating.
