Prior to final approval of a use permitted on review in the F-1, floodway district, the following standards must be met:
A. No use shall be permitted which is detrimental to existing or permitted uses in the adjoining F-2, floodway fringe (overlay) district, or other districts within the F-2, floodway fringe (overlay) district;
B. No use shall be permitted which is in conflict with policies recommended by the comprehensive plan of the City;
C. No structure, temporary, or permanent, fill, deposit, obstruction, storage of materials or equipment, or other use may be allowed which, acting alone or in combination with existing or future uses, unduly affects the capacity of the floodway or increases the water surface elevation of the one hundred (100) year flood more than one (1) foot at any point;
D. Before any fill may be deposited in the floodway, certification by a professional registered engineer or architect must be provided, demonstrating that such fill shall not result in any increase in flood levels. Such certification shall be accompanied by a plan showing the uses to which the filled land will be put and the final dimensions of the proposed fill. Such fill, if allowed, shall be protected against erosion by rip-rap, vegetative cover, or bulk heading;
E. No structures shall be designed for human habitation. Any structures permitted shall be firmly anchored to prevent flotation and shall be placed with the longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of flood flow;
F. Service facilities, such as electrical equipment, shall be constructed one (1) foot above the flood protection elevation for the particular area, and flood proofed; and
G. Storage or processing of materials that are buoyant, flammable, explosive, or which could cause injury in time of flooding are prohibited. All other similar materials must be firmly anchored or readily and quickly removable prior to flooding.
