(A) Districts.
(1) Floodway District. The Floodway District includes those areas within Zone AE delineated within floodway areas as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps adopted in § 152.006. For lakes, wetlands, and other basins, the Floodway District also includes those areas that are at or below the ordinary high water level as defined in M.S. § 103G.005, subd. 14.
(2) Flood Fringe District. The Flood Fringe District includes areas within Zone AE on the Flood Insurance Rate Map adopted in § 152.006, but located outside of the floodway. For lakes, wetlands, and other basins, the Flood Fringe District also includes areas mapped in Zones A or AE, which are below the 1% annual chance (100 year) flood elevation, but above the ordinary high water level as defined in M.S. § 103G.005, subd. 14.
(3) General Floodplain District. The General Floodplain District shall include those areas designated as Floodplain Overlay District on the Carver County Zoning Map and designated Zone A on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the county, as adopted in § 152.006(B).
(B) Applicability. Where Floodway and Flood Fringe Districts are delineated on the floodplain maps, the standards in §§ 152.147 or 152.148 will apply, depending on the location of a property. Any watercourses identified as Zone A on the floodplain maps adopted in § 152.144(B) are considered to fall within the General Floodplain District. Within the General Floodplain District, the Floodway District standards in § 152.147 apply unless the floodway boundary is determined, according to the process outlined in § 152.149(B). Areas in and adjoining lakes, wetlands, and other basins shall be designated as either Floodway or Flood Fringe based on the procedures described in §§ 152.145(A)(1) and (A)(2).
