Background:
BACP 165 is a request to change the Comprehensive Plan designation from Level 6 and Greenway/Floodplain to an increased amount of Level 6 and a decreased amount of Greenway/Floodplain on 0.58 acres located one-half mile south of Kenosha Street, west of Elm Place, at 701 W.

Currently, 14 percent of the site is within the 100-year floodplain, 57 percent is within the 500-year floodplain, with 29 percent of the site outside of floodplain.
