1466.03 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
   It is the purpose of these regulations to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, and to:
   (a)   Protect human life and health;
   (b)   Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
   (c)   Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
   (d)   Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
   (e)   Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;
   (f)   Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the proper use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to protect property and minimize future flood blight areas;
   (g)   Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions;
   (h)   Minimize the impact of development on adjacent properties within and near flood- prone areas;
   (i)   Ensure that the flood storage and conveyance functions of the floodplain are maintained;
   (j)   Minimize the impact of development on the natural, beneficial values of the floodplain;
   (k)   Prevent floodplain uses that are either hazardous or environmentally incompatible; and
   (l)   Meet community participation requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.04 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSS.
   In order to accomplish its purposes, these regulations include methods and provisions for:
   (a)   Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water hazards, or which result in damaging increases in flood heights or velocities;
   (b)   Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities, which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
   (c)   Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
   (d)   Controlling filling, grading, dredging, excavating, and other development which may increase flood damage; and
   (e)   Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers, which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.05 LANDS TO WHICH THESE REGULATIONS APPLY.
   These regulations shall apply to all areas of special flood hazard within the jurisdiction of the City as identified in Section 1466.06, including any additional areas of special flood hazard annexed by the City.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.06 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD.
   For the purposes of these regulations, the following studies and/or maps are adopted:
   (a)   “Flood Insurance Study, Fairfield County, Ohio and Incorporated Areas,” dated January 6, 2012.
   (b)   “Flood Insurance Rate Map, Fairfield County, Ohio and Incorporated Areas”, dated January 6, 2012.
   (c)   Any hydrologic and hydraulic engineering analysis authored by a registered professional engineer in the State of Ohio which has been approved by the City as required by Section 1466.28 Subdivisions and Large Developments.
   (d)   Any revisions to the aforementioned maps and/or studies are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of these regulations. Such maps and/or studies are on file at the Floodplain Administrator's Office, Pickerington City Hall, 100 Lockville Road, Pickerington, Ohio.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.07 ABROGATION AND GREATER RESTRICTIONS.
   These regulations are not intended to repeal any existing ordinances, including subdivision regulations, zoning or building codes. In the event of a conflict between these regulations and any other ordinance, the more restrictive shall be followed. These regulations shall not impair any deed, restriction, covenant or easement, but the land subject to such interests shall also be governed by the regulations.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.08 INTERPRETATION.
   In the interpretation and application of these regulations, all provisions shall be:
   (a)   Considered as minimum requirements;
   (b)   Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and
   (c)   Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State statutes. Where a provision of these regulations may be in conflict with a State or Federal law, such State or Federal law shall take precedence over these regulations.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
1466.09 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY.
   The degree of flood protection required by these regulations is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. These regulations do not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. These regulations shall not create liability on the part of the City, any officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for any flood damage that results from reliance on these regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
(Ord. 2011-60. Passed 11-15-11.)
