The purpose of this part is to prevent the loss of property and life, the creation of health and safety hazards, the disruption of commerce and governmental services, the extraordinary and unnecessary expenditure of public funds for flood protection and relief, and the impairment of the tax base by:
A. 
Regulating uses, activities and development which, acting alone or in combination with other existing or future uses, activities and development, will cause unacceptable increases in flood heights, velocities and frequencies.
B. 
Restricting or prohibiting certain uses, activities and development from locating within areas subject to flooding.
C. 
Requiring all these uses, activities and developments that do occur in flood-prone areas to be protected and/or floodproofed against flooding and flood damage.
D. 
Protecting individuals from buying lands and structures which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood hazards.
These provisions shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of the Borough and shown on the Official Zoning Map as being located within the boundaries of any floodplain district.
No structure or land shall hereafter be used and no structure shall be located, relocated, constructed, reconstructed, enlarged or structurally altered except in full compliance with the terms and provisions of this part and any other applicable ordinances and regulations which apply to uses within the jurisdiction of this part.
A. 
The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this part is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on acceptable engineering methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This part does not imply that areas outside the floodplain districts or that land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damage.
B. 
This part shall not create liability on the part of the Borough or Zoning Officer or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this part or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
