PART IV. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Section 8-618 Floodway Zone Permit Required
8-618.A. Permit Required. No person shall engage in any development in any floodway zone without a permit.
8-618.B. Standards. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 8-604 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply within the floodway:
8-618.B.1. No encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development shall be permitted unless certification by a registered professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that such encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
8-618.B.2. If the provisions of Section 8-618.B.1 are satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Part IV of this Division.
