FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS (DRAFT UPDATE)

Before the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) become effective, there is a 90-day appeal period from Dec. 15, 2022 to Mar. 15, 2023.

During that time, residents or businesses with supporting technical and scientific information, such as detailed hydraulic or hydrologic data, can appeal the flood risk information on the preliminary maps, which are linked below and can also be viewed at FEMA's Preliminary Flood Hazard Data page.

COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT EXCLUSION ZONE MAPS

Categorical Exclusion Order No. E-91-2-A allows the County of Mendocino to exclude the initial development of a single family residence from the standard Coastal Development Permit process, if the proposed residence falls within a mapped exclusion area and certain criteria are met.

The maps below show the exclusion areas. Additional and associated development may still require a Coastal Development Permit. Please contact the Mendocino County Planning Department's Fort Bragg office at 707-964-5379 for more information.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING LOCATIONS

Background

According the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG), the rate of adoption for plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) has increased dramatically over the past few years. This growth is likely to continue, especially in California, where incentives for electric vehicle purchases are offered to support the state's greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts. California has established goals of five million electric vehicles on the road by 2030, with 250,000 charging stations in place by 2025.

In 2015, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 (2015, Chiu, Codified as Government Code Section 65850.7), which requires local jurisdictions with a population less than 200,000 residents to adopt an ordinance to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. The amendments to Section 65850.7 include the requirement for a jurisdiction to adopt an ordinance for and adopt a checklist of requirements. In Mendocino County, once a permit application satisfies all of the information requirements, it will be deemed complete and promptly processed using standard building permit processing procedures.

Regional Readiness

In 2019, the Mendocino County Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and Alternative Fuels Readiness Plan Update was released by MCOG. Prepared by W-Trans with MCOG staff and regional ZEV Advisory Group, the plan provides research, recommendations and resources for local agencies, and informs much of the County's present EVCS regulation. Included in this plan update is a target of 150 public Level 2 electric vehicle chargers to meet 2025 demand, requiring the installation of 69 new chargers countywide. More information can be found below:

In addition to planning for a countywide charging station network, consideration or regional needs is required to achieve success. To ensure this connectivity to a larger regional network, coordination with charging station development in adjacent counties - Sonoma, Humboldt, Lake, Glenn, Tehama, and Trinity - is essential. Sonoma County is by far the most populated of the six, with over 500,000 people, and the City of Santa Rosa (population 175,000) is approximately 35 miles south of the county line. More information about MCOG’s efforts can be found on their website.
