The proposed regulations allow property owners to restore and rebuild structures at the same size or smaller and at a safer location, as determined by a Hazard Mitigation Review. Hearing feedback from the public and from the Planning Commission, the Board did not establish a sunset date for these provisions, however, staff has committed to additional regulation revisions in the coming months to aid property owners who were affected by this disaster. The Land Use Department began accepting appointments for onsite pre-application meetings for the Hazard Mitigation Review beginning November 4, 2013.
