The specific intent of this district is to impose certain restrictions necessary for the floodplain area in order to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the community to:
(A) Control the erection of buildings in areas unfit for human usage by reason of danger from flooding, unsanitary conditions and other hazards.
(B) Minimize the danger to public health by protecting the water supply and promoting safe and sanitary drainage.
(C) Permit only those uses in the floodplain compatible to the preservation of natural conditions which are conducive to the maintenance of constant rates of water flow throughout the year by withholding rapid water runoff contributing to downstream flooding and providing area for groundwater absorption for maintenance of the subsurface water supply.
