Division I
Floodplain Management

Editor's Notes

Ordinance 11-516 extensively amended this Division I, effective February 2, 2012. Later, as a result of new requirements by, among others, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Flood Insurance Program, an even more comprehensive revision of this Division and of other related City Code provisions was enacted by Ordinance 14-208 {‘Flood Management Code – Revision”} and Ordinance 14-209 {“Floodplain Management Code – Cross-References and Corrections”}, both effective April 2, 2014. See also Editor’s Note following Subtitle 9.

Section 4 of Ord. 21-020 sets forth the general transition rules for the 2021 revised Division I as follows

(a) this Ordinance applies to all development for which a permit application is filed (or required to be filed) on or after the effective date of this Ordinance {i.e., May 21, 2021};

(b) except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Ordinance, any transaction, case, proceeding, investigation, or other matter validly begun before {May 21, 2021} and affected by or flowing from any law amended or repealed by this Ordinance, and any right, duty, or interest flowing from any ordinance amended or repealed by this Ordinance, remains valid after {May 1, 2021} and may be terminated, completed, enforced, or prosecuted as required or permitted by the prior law as though the amendment or repeal has not occurred; and
