Authority to adopt flood-control regulations, see V.T.C.A. Water Code § 16.315
(a) The flood hazard areas of Fort Worth are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
(b) These flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
(Ord. 11998, § 1, passed 6-13-1995; Ord. 25350-03-2022, § 1, passed 3-8-2022, eff. 3-23-2022)

(d) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(e) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges, that are located in floodplains;
(f) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of floodprone areas in such a manner as to minimize potential future flood blight areas;
