A. No amendment to this Ordinance may be adopted without a public hearing first being held before the MCSC upon notice published. Notice of the hearing shall be published once in a newspaper having a general circulation within the community. The publication shall not be less than 15 days, nor more than 30 days, prior to the hearing. FEMA and IDNR/OWR shall also be notified prior to adoption of any amendment. Amendments to this Ordinance shall become effective when adopted by the McHenry County Board.
B. From time to time the lists in Appendix 11 of this Ordinance need to be updated to reflect a new or revised FIRM or FIS. Routine revisions to update these lists are required by FEMA and IDNR/OWR. Public notice and review of a new or revised FIRM or FIS is required by FEMA and IDNR/OWR prior to final adoption. The public notice and review process applies to both the impacted community and individual property owners. For this reason, the lists in Appendix 11 may be updated by MCSC without additional public notice over and above that accomplished by FEMA and IDNR/OWR.
