The Floodplain (FP) Overlay Zone is combined with existing zones in those areas within the City of Anaheim which, under present conditions, are subject to periodic flooding and accompanying hazards. The zoning designation for the property shall constitute the base or underlying zone and the designation (FP) shall constitute an overlay zone. In the event of conflicting provisions between the underlying zone and the (FP) Overlay Zone regulations, the more restrictive regulations shall apply. The objectives of the (FP) Overlay Zone are as follows:
.010 Prevent the loss of life and property, and minimize economic loss caused by flood flows.
.020 Establish criteria for land management and land use in flood-prone areas that are consistent with the criteria promulgated by the Federal Insurance Administration, for the purpose of providing flood insurance eligibility for property owners.
.030 Prohibit encroachments, new construction, or other improvements or development that would obstruct or divert the flow of floodwaters within a regulatory floodway.
.040 Regulate and control the use of land below the elevation of the design flood flow within the remainder of the floodplain.
.050 Compliance with the Cobey-Alquist Floodplain Management Act requirements for floodplain management regulations. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004.)
