To provide for the appropriate use of land which has a history of inundation or is determined to be subject to flood hazard, and to promote the general welfare and provide protection from flooding portions of certain districts are designated with a Flood Plain Prefix, FP. Areas designated on the Zoning District Map by an FP Prefix shall be subject to the following provisions:

A building or premise shall be used only for the following purposes:

No building or structure shall be erected in that portion of any district designated with a Flood Plain, FP, Prefix until and unless such building or structure has been approved by the City Council after engineering studies have been made and it ascertained that such building or structure is not subject to damage by flooding and would not constitute an encroachment, hazard, or obstacle to the movement of floodwaters and that such construction would not endanger the value and safety of other property or the public health and welfare.

Plans for any dump, excavation, storage, filling, or mining operation within that portion of a district having a Flood Plain, FP, Prefix must first be approved by the City Council after recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission before such operation is begun.

An area may be removed from the Flood Plain, FP, prefix designation when by the provision of drainage works, grading, flood protection, or specific drainage study, it is determined by the City Council that the flood hazard has been alleviated.

The fact that land is, or is not, within a district having a Flood Plain, FP, Prefix, shall not be interpreted as assurance that such land or area, is or is not, subject to periodic local flooding.
