This chapter applies to all lands within the jurisdiction of the city within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe and General Floodplain Districts.
(A) The Floodway, Flood Fringe or General Floodplain Districts are overlay districts. The standards imposed in the overlay districts are in addition to any other requirements. In case of a conflict, the more restrictive standards will apply.
(B) Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the official floodplain maps and actual field conditions (as illustrated in Figure 1 in § 151.061), the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) shall be the governing factor in locating the outer boundaries of the 1% annual chance floodplain.
(C) Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries will be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Planning Commission and to submit technical evidence.
