§ 50-677. Special floodplain regulations.

(a)

The county comprehensive plan has designated all floodplains in the county as conservation areas, both within the text and on the future land use map. To be consistent with the plan (and also with the recommendations of the Suwannee River Advisory Task Force and governors executive order), special conservation area density standards have been developed. Because most conservation areas are also floodprone, the following standards have been included as a part of this zoning section. It is the intent of the board of county commissioners that these density and performance standards shall be treated as overlay zones and they take precedence over any less restrictive requirements of the underlying zoning districts.
