Danville Municipal Code § 32.117 Applications

In the interpretation and application of this section, all provisions shall be:

a. Considered as minimum requirements;

b. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and

c. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State statutes. (Ord, #133, §8-4815; Ord. #2002-02, §2)

The degree of flood protection required by this section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man made or natural causes. This section does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This section shall not create liability on the part of the Town of Danville, any officer or employee thereof, the State of California, the Federal Insurance Administration, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for flood damage that results from reliance on this section or an administrative decision made under it. (Ord. #133, §8-4816; Ord. #2002-02, §2)

This section and the various parts thereof are hereby declared to be severable. Should any subsection of this section be declared by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the section as a whole, or any portion thereof other than the subsection so declared to be unconstitutional or invalid. (Ord. #133, §8-4817; Ord. #2002-02, §2)
