This ordinance proposes to amend Chapter 8 of the St. Petersburg City Code by repealing and replacing Section 8-36.(c) to adopt local administrative and technical amendments to the Florida Building Code. The amendments align existing city flood mitigation requirements—including declarations of land restriction for enclosed areas below elevated buildings, limitations on partitioning of such enclosed areas, and expanded definitions of "substantial damage" for flood hazard areas—with the Florida Building Code to maintain compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations. The ordinance also codifies existing city inspection practices for elevated building enclosures and introduces new requirements for operations and maintenance plans related to dry floodproofing measures.
