The legislature of the state of Nevada in Nevada Revised Statutes 278.020, 244A.057, and 543.020 confers upon local government units authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the Pershing County board of commissioners, in and for the political subdivision of Pershing County, Nevada, does hereby adopt the floodplain management regulations herein. This chapter shall be referred to as the FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE. (Ord. 266, 2009)
A. The flood hazard areas of the county are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health, and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
B. These flood losses are caused by structures that are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or protected from flood damage. The cumulative effects of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards, which increase flood heights and velocities, also contribute to flood losses. (Ord. 266, 2009)
