This chapter applies to all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Mora within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe and General Flood Plain Districts. The boundaries of these districts are determined by scaling distances on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, or as modified in accordance with § 152.021.
(A) The Floodway, Flood Fringe and General Flood Plain Districts are overlay districts that are superimposed on all existing zoning districts. The standards imposed in the overlay districts are in addition to any other requirements in this chapter. In case of a conflict, the more restrictive standards will apply.
(B) Where a conflict exists between the flood plain limits illustrated on the official flood plain maps and actual field conditions, the flood elevations shall be the governing factor in locating the regulatory flood plain limits.
(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.
