A. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purposes of the Floodplain District are to:
Page 4 of 10,posting for 10-21-03
(1) Regulate development in areas subject to coastal storm flowage,particularly high hazard Velocity
zones,in order to minimize threats to public safety,potential loss of life,personal injury,destruction of
property,and environmental damage inevitably resulting from storms,flooding,erosion and relative sea
level rise.
(2) Enable safe access to and from coastal homes and buildings for homeowners and emergency
response personnel,such as police,fire and rescue departments or other emergency response officials.
(3) Reduce or prevent public health emergencies resulting from surface and ground water
contamination from inundation of or damage to sewage disposal systems and storage areas for typical
household hazardous substances.
(4) Minimize monetary loss and public health threats resulting from storm damage to public facilities
(water and gas mains,electric,telephone lines,streets,bridges,etc.). Avoid the loss of utility services
which,if damaged by flooding,would disrupt or shut down the utility network and impact regions of the
community beyond the site of flooding.
(5) Eliminate costs associated with the response and cleanup of flooding conditions.
(6) Reduce damage to public and private property resulting from flooding waters.
B. DEFINITIONS

percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.The area may be designated on a FIRM as Zone A,
AO,AH,Al-30,AE,A99,V1-30,VE or V.
BASE FLOOD- the flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.

hurricane wave wash or tsunamis. The area is designated on a FIRM as Zone V,V1-30,VE.
DEVELOPMENT-any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate,including but not
limited to building or other structures,construction,mining, extraction,dredging,filling,grading,paving,

homes are to be affixed(including the installation of utilities,the construction of streets,and either final
site grading or pouring of concrete pads).

Insurance Program(NFIP).FEMA provides a nationwide flood hazard mapping study program for
communities as well as regulatory standards for development in the flood hazard areas.
FLOOD BOUNDARY AND FLOODWAY MAP-an official map of a community issued by FEMA that
depicts based on detailed analyses, the boundaries of the 100-year and 500 year floods and 100-year
floodway. (For maps done in 1987 and later,the floodway designation is included on the FIRM.)
Page 5 of 10,posting for 10-21-03

boundaries of the flood and related erosion areas having special hazards have been designated as Zone A or
E.
FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP(FIRM)- an official map of a community on which FEMA has
delineated both areas of special flood hazard and risk premium zones applicable to the community.
FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY- an examination,evaluation,and determination of flood hazards,and if

being equaled or exceeded in any given year.The seaward limit is mean low water.
LOWEST FLOOR-the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed areas(including basement or cellar).An
unfinished or flood resistant enclosure,usable solely for parking of vehicles,building access or storage in

the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the
structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT-any reconstruction,rehabilitation,addition,or other improvement of
a structure,the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the
