17.42.010 Description, purpose and application.
The FP floodplain overlay district designates areas which are subject to inundation by flooding or coverage by surface water as designated by the city’s ordinance establishing regulations to prevent flood damage. The purpose in establishing this district is to minimize property loss, danger of injury and health hazards by the location of flood hazard areas and the development of standards of land use in these areas. The district shall be applied in any zone to cover any area subject to flooding or coverage by surface water, as determined by the most reliable data available to the city.
An additional purpose is to provide minimum standards for the use of real property in the FP floodplain overlay district which will provide protection to residents and minimize the impact to properties when flooding occurs.
The provisions and requirements of the FP floodplain overlay district apply in addition to the provisions and requirements of the basic district.
In those instances where there is a conflict between the provisions and requirements in the FP overlay district and the provisions and requirements of the basic district, the provisions and requirements of the overlay district supersede. [Ord. 9-62A § 1, 1982; Ord. 9-52 § 1 (3.180), 1980].
17.42.020 Location and changes in location.
