§ 62-4064. Additional standards for subdivision proposals.

(a)

The building official shall review all subdivision proposals and other proposed new development to determine whether such proposals will be reasonably safe from flooding. If subdivision proposals or other proposed new development is in the area of special flood hazard, the building official shall review any such proposals to ensure that:

(1)

All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;

(2)

All such proposals have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage; and

(3)

All such proposals have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.

(b)

Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other proposed development, including manufactured home parks and subdivisions, greater than five acres or 50 lots, whichever is the lesser.

(c)

Infrastructure within the 100-year floodplain should not be accepted for maintenance by the county if it serves to increase programmed densities and intensities. For purposes of this policy, programmed densities and intensities shall be those shown on the future land use map on the adoption date of the ordinance from which this section is derived.
