Future Land Use Policies - Hurricane preparednessGOAL 3 The city, in cooperation with Pinellas County and neighboring communities, shall establish an effective and workable hurricane evacuation plan. Objective 3.1 Recognizing its vulnerability to the effects of tropical storms, the city shall maintain an up-to-date hurricane evacuation plan. Policy 3.1.1 Because the entire community is located within the identified Coastal High Hazard Area, as redefined by Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, the city shall, to the extent practical, limit public expenditures that subsidize development only to existing development or new development, thus limiting population growth, consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Policy 3.1.2 The Hurricane Evacuation Plan will set forth hurricane clearance times which will either be maintained or reduced. Policy 3.1.3 The risk of exposure of human life and public and private property to natural disasters shall be reduced through preparedness planning and implementation of hazard mitigation measures. Policy 3.1.4 The city shall coordinate plans for evacuation of coastal area populations with appropriate local or regional hurricane evacuation plans. |
