The Chron’s Mike Snyder has the latest on the city’s Ready-Fire-Aim! floodway ordinance:
City officials are recommending changes in a controversial law that limits development in flood-prone areas known as floodways, easing some restrictions that have prompted protests and lawsuits from affected property owners.
The changes, which would permit new construction on vacant land in floodways subject to certain conditions and fees, could be considered by the City Council as soon as next week, said Councilman M.J. Kahn, who chairs the flooding and drainage committee.
But of course!
