CHAPTER 18

64 - FLOOD CHANNEL DISTRICT F-1

18.64.010 - General regulations.

A.

General Zoning Districts. All property in flood districts shall be subject to the regulations of the general zoning districts in which they are located.

B.

Type of Construction. Any permitted building shall be of a type of construction, which is not appreciably damaged by floodwaters. Any permitted structure shall be firmly anchored to prevent the same from floating away and thus threatening to further restrict bridge openings and other restricted sections of the watercourse.

C.

Floatable Materials. It is unlawful to place any materials, which in time of flood might float away and lodge against bridge abutments or otherwise serve materially to restrict the flood discharge capacity of the river channel.

(Ord. 213, § 1801, 1969)

18.64.020 - Specific regulations.

It is unlawful in an F-1 district to:

A.

Construct, reconstruct, move or alter any structure, make any excavation or place any fill or materials which may materially restrict the flood discharge capacity of the river channel. The Planning Commission shall establish the appropriate standards governing permitted ground coverage and spacing of buildings.

B.

Construct, reconstruct, move or alter any structure for residential occupancy other than transient facilities, provided that this shall not be interpreted to prevent routine maintenance or internal alterations of residential structures existing at the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title.

Construct, reconstruct, move or alter any enclosed place of public assembly, enclosed recreational facility or transient accommodation, unless the elevation of the lowest enclosed floor, except for elevators, stairwells and appurtenant lobbies, is at least two feet above flood elevation.

(Ord. 213, § 1802, 1969)
