(A) The “O-FP” Floodplain Overlay District delineates areas in the vicinity of watercourses and tributaries in the municipality subject to special requirements.
(B) In the absence of flood protection measures, these areas are subject to periodic flooding which may result in injury to or loss of life and property, disruption of private and governmental services, impairment of the municipal tax base and the need for extraordinary relief measures. The regulations of this section are intended to restrict permitted development in floodplains to:
(1) Uses which inherently have low flood damage potential; and
(2) To other uses allowed in the primary zoning districts provided appropriate protective measures have been taken.
