Chapter 12.08.17

FF – FLOODWAY FRINGE OVERLAY ZONE DISTRICT

REGULATIONS

The FF zone is intended to provide land use regulations for properties and their improvements situated in the floodplain to ensure protection from hazards and damage which may result from flood waters.

Within the FF zone, no development shall take place except in accordance with the regulations of the base zoning district, with the regulations of this Chapter, and the regulations contained in City of Loyalton (Ordinance 14.01, Floodplain Management). Where the FF zone imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings, structures or premises than are required by the base zoning district, the provisions of the FF zone shall control. All uses shall be reviewed by the City Council for compliance with Ordinance 14.01 prior to any development or issuance of any permit pursuant to this Municipal Code. Only those uses permitted in both the base zoning district and the FF zone are permitted uses.

The FF zone is intended to be applied to properties which lie within a floodway fringe, as determined by the Federal Insurance Administration’s Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for the City of Loyalton, dated September 1, 1988, as amended and incorporated herein. The FF zone may also be applied to other areas subject to inundation.

Those uses permitted in the base zoning district.

• A. Those uses permitted in the base zoning district when not in compliance with any performance standard set forth in Ordinance 14.01 of the Municipal Code.

• B. Floor level: all habitable floor levels shall have an elevation of 3 feet above the water surface elevation of the 100-year floodplain, as determined by the FIS.
