Latest version.
  • (a)

    Districts:

    (1)

    Floodway District. The Floodway District includes those areas within Zone AE delineated within floodway areas as shown on the flood insurance rate maps adopted in subsection 20-327(b).

    (2)

    Flood Fringe District. The Flood Fringe District includes areas within Zones AE on the flood insurance rate map adopted in subsection 20-327(b), but located outside of the floodway.

    (3)

    General Floodplain District. The General Floodplain District includes those areas within Zones A and AE (that do not have a floodway delineated) as shown on the flood insurance rate maps adopted in subsection 20-327(b).

    (b)

    Applicability: Where Floodway and Flood Fringe Districts are delineated on the floodplain maps, the standards in divisions 2 or 3 will apply, depending on the location of a property. Locations where Floodway and Flood Fringe Districts are not delineated on the floodplain maps are considered to fall within the General Floodplain District. Within the General Floodplain District, the Floodway District standards in division 2 apply, unless the floodway boundary is determined, according to the process outlined in section 20-378.
