(A) Intent. It is the intent of the Floodplain District (FP) to prohibit the use of floodplains for uses which could be detrimental to health and welfare. The Floodplain District (FP) is an overlay zoning district and the underlying district standards and requirements shall apply unless where superseded by the Floodplain District (FP) regulations and requirements.
(B) Lands subject to flooding. For the purposes of this Zoning Code, FLOODPLAINS are defined as those lands subject to inundation by the 100-year flood, as identified in the “Flood Insurance Study for Waynesville, Ohio” with accompanying flood boundary and floodway maps and flood insurance rate maps dated June 4, 1980, and any revisions thereto.
(C) Prohibited uses in floodplains.
(1) Structures designed or used for human habitation;
(2) The storage or processing of materials that are pollutants, buoyant, flammable, poisonous, explosive, or could be injurious to human, animal, or plant life in time of flooding, or that have a high flood damage potential; and
(3) Garbage and waste disposal facilities.
(D) Permitted uses. The only uses allowed in a floodplain area are those uses which are not specifically prohibited in division (C) of this section which meet the requirements of Chapter 151 of these codified ordinances (Ord. 96-152, Flood Damage Prevention, as amended), and which are permitted in the underlying zoning district unless superseded by the regulations and prohibitions of this chapter and Chapter 151, as amended.
