In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions for:
Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in flood heights or velocities;
(a) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(b) Controlling the alteration of natural flood plains, stream channels and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
(c) Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage; and
(d) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
