The boundaries of the Floodplain District are determined by scaling distances on the flood insurance rate map.
(A) Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the official zoning map and actual field conditions, the flood elevations must be the governing factor. The Zoning Administrator must interpret the boundary location based on the ground elevations that existed on the site on the date of the first national flood insurance program map showing the area within the regulatory floodplain and other available technical data.
(B) Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries will be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the City Council and to submit technical evidence.
