Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed
Activity in a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard Designated Floodplain and/or Wetland
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that HUD under 24 CFR Part 50 or Responsible Entity under 24 CFR Part 58 has determined that the following proposed action under Section 221(d)(4) of the National Housing Act is located in the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) floodplain, and HUD or Responsible Entity will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action within the FFRMS floodplain and the potential impacts on the FFRMS floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990 and/or Executive Order 13690, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 in Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The proposed project is located at State Highway 183 & Creedmoor Drive in Travis County, Texas. The extent of the FFRMS floodplain was determined using the 0.2-Percent-Annual-Chance Floodplain Approach (0.2 PFA). The subject property, which is referred to as William Cannon Apartments, is occupied by agricultural land with a single-family residence and consists of an irregular shaped parcel containing approximately 14.00-acres (609,840-square feet). Proposed site activities consist of construction of a multi-family residential complex that will contain 276 residential units to be completed in approximately 2027. Based on the results of the FFRMS analysis, 0.01-acres (500-square feet) of FFRMS floodplain is located on the subject property. In addition, 0.01-acres (500-square feet) wetlands will be impacted on the subject property.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the FFRMS floodplain and/or wetland and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the FFRMS floodplain and/or wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate project impacts on the floodplain and/or wetland. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about the FFRMS floodplain and/or wetland can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in the FFRMS floodplain and/or wetland, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by HUD at the following address no later than 15 days from the date of this notice. Comments should be addressed to Marcus S. Wilson, Review Appraiser, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fort Worth Regional Office, 307 W. 7th Street, Suite 1000, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the address listed above. Comments may also be submitted via email at Marcus.S.Wilson@hud.gov.
