In any Floodway (F-1) subdistrict, the development and use of land is regulated by the underlying zoning district, provided that no such use, activity or development shall be permitted which would result in an increase in the base flood elevation during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. When a developer proposes to offset the effects of development in the Floodway by construction of stream improvements, he shall submit an engineering study prepared by a registered professional engineer which fully evaluates the effects of such construction. The engineering study shall use the base flood as herein defined as the basis of analysis. All adjacent communities and the State Coordinating Office shall be notified by the developer by certified mail of all such intended activities prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse and shall submit copies of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administrator. In addition, the developer shall assure the City in a manner agreed upon by the City Attorney that the flood- carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of the watercourse in question will be maintained.
All uses, activities and other developments shall be undertaken in strict compliance with the floodproofing and related provisions contained herein and in all other applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. (Ord. 0-531. Passed 2-23-88.)
