When does CLOMR become effective?

It is important to note that a CLOMR does not update the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) or the effective floodplain/floodway. The CLOMR can only be approved as a “conditional” map revision. This process generally takes anywhere from 90 days to over a year. However, once construction of the City Detention Basin Project finishes, a LOMR will be processed to officially update the FIRMs and thus the regulatory floodplain/floodway. Not until the LOMR (based on the CLOMR) is approved will the changes to the FIRMs be considered effective.
