1444.03 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES.
   In order to accomplish its purposes, this Chapter includes 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 flood plains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
   (d)    Controlling filling, grading, dredging, 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.
