Current Regulations
Right now, you can build in a part of the floodplain.
View current regulations (Unified Development Ordinance - Section 9.3)
Benefits
Changes in regulation would reduce development in the floodplain, which:
- Allows water to flow more naturally and safely near streambanks;
- Benefits the quality of streams and rivers;
- Protects wildlife habitat;
- Reduces risk to people and their property from hazardous flooding; and,
- Lowers flood insurance premiums for residents.
Allowed Activities
You can still do these activities in the floodplain (under current and new regulations). What you can do is based on the size and location of your property.
