STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT,
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The Indiana Legislature has in I.C. 36-7-4 granted the power to local government units to control land use within their jurisdictions. Therefore, the Common Council of the City of Lebanon does hereby adopt the following floodplain management regulations.
(Ord. 2017-05, passed 4-24-2017)
(A) The flood hazard areas of the City of Lebanon are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce, and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
(B) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, inadequately flood-proofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages.
(Ord. 2017-05, passed 4-24-2017)
