§ 154.090 FLOODPLAIN DISTRICT (F).

   (A)   The intent of the Floodplain District (F) is to restrict the use of the floodplains of natural drainageways to those uses that will not be greatly damaged by floods or moving waters.

   (B)   The purpose is to minimize the costs of flood damage to individual property owners and the general public and avoid impeding the flow of floodwaters.

      (1)   Permitted uses. The Floodplain District is a zone that may be superimposed over any other zoning district wherein the provisions of the other zoning district are applicable as well as the provisions contained herein.

Areas designated “F” (Floodplain District) shall be based upon areas determined to be in “flood-prone” areas under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) National Flood Insurance Program and such other areas as determined by the Planning Commission to be subject to flooding. Within such designated area, no permanent structures for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial or public use shall be placed without first securing a building permit and demonstrating provisions to protect such structure from flood damage. No building permits shall be issued within the 100-year floodplain unless the structures are floodproofed and meet all other the state and federal flood insurance requirements.
