13.20.060 Definitions

  1. Flood Plain means the relatively flat area or lowlands adjoining a river, stream watercourse, lake or other body of standing water that has been or maybe covered by flood water.
  2. Flood Plain Overlay Zone means boundaries of the Intermediate Regional Flood as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The flood plain zone is designed to overlay or be superimposed over existing zoning within the defined flood plain. Such an overlay zone can be interchangeable referred to as a floating zone because the existing zone remains effective except for the conditions superimposed by the flood plain zone.
  3. Intermediate Regional Flood means a flood having an average frequency of occurrence on the order of once in 100 years although the flood may occur in any year.
