A. The floodplain management regulations in this chapter shall:
1. Be supplemental to, and not in lieu of, the applicable provisions of the use district in which the land is located and/or general provisions of the use district in which the land is located and/or general provisions applicable to all zones.
2. Be considered as minimum requirements.
3. Not be interpreted to reduce or limit other more restrictive standards that may apply to land within the floodplain, including those established by ordinance, state law, easements, recorded covenants or deed restrictions.
B. No structure shall be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered and no land shall be developed, occupied or modified without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable regulations.
C. Property located within an area of shallow flooding or area of special flood hazard shall be developed only in conformance with the provisions set forth herein. In cases of conflict between such district classifications and the floodplain regulations, the most restrictive provisions shall govern.
D. Permitted, conditional and accessory uses allowed in the area of shallow flooding or area of special flood hazard are those which are allowed uses in the underlying zone or use district except that all floodway encroachments are prohibited unless they meet the requirements of this chapter. Additionally, all uses, whether principal or secondary which would alter the flood carrying capacity of the watercourse, involving: 1) construction or relocation of permanent buildings (or structures); or 2) placement of temporary structures, manufactured homes; or 3) excavation or placement of fill materials; or 4) placement of any structure or any development; shall further meet the supplemental conditions and standards set forth in this chapter.
