20.40 FP-2 District

Flood Overflow Area Properties

20.40.10 Purpose

This district classification is intended to be applied to properties which lie within areas where inundation is caused by overflow and back water which is relatively free of any current, excluding areas within the FP-1 districts, and so require regulations for the protection of such properties and their improvements from hazards and damage which may result from flood waters.

The regulations set forth in this chapter apply in all FP-2 districts, and are subject to the provisions of Chapters 20.46-20.58.

(Ord. 67-10 § 3.1800, 1967)

Uses permitted shall be as follows:

  1. Single family dwellings and accessory residential and agricultural structures located on agricultural properties, provided that the ground floor level of such buildings shall be above the flood profile level as shown on the zoning map of the particular area in question or provided that the building area is protected from flooding by dikes, levees or other safety measures.
  2. Public parks, recreation developments and trailer parks. Restrooms, and utility, recreation and store, facilities shall be located and constructed in accordance with health department requirements. Such buildings shall be designed to withstand inundation due to floods. Occupied travel trailers are permitted in trailer parks, and such trailer parks are permitted to operate to serve the travel trailers between the months of December and April inclusive, providing that such travel trailer is maintained in a condition that will permit its removal from the flood plain without the need for a special towing vehicle, or apparatus that the access to such travel trailers, including but not limited to drives, roads, and streets, be adequate to provide egress and ingress at any time under all weather conditions and that no cabanas, ramadas, or structures shall be constructed, placed or attached to or adjacent to such trailer.
