Bradbury Municipal Code Art. III Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction

If a proposed building site is in a floodprone area, all new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall:

(1) Be designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.

(2) Be constructed:

a. With materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;

b. Using methods and practices that minimize flood damage;

c. With electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.

(Prior Code, § 3561)

If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development, including manufactured home parks or subdivisions, is in a floodprone area, any such proposals shall be reviewed to assure that:

(1) All new and replacement water supply and sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate:

a. Infiltration of floodwaters into the systems; and

b. Discharge from the systems into floodwaters.

(2) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them, or contamination from them during flooding.

(Prior Code, § 3562)
