[Amended 11-1-2010 by Ord. No. 7-2010]
The Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has, by
passage of the Pennsylvania Flood Plain Management Act of 1978, delegated the responsibility to local governmental units
to adopt floodplain management regulations to promote public health,
safety and the general welfare of its citizenry.
This chapter supersedes any other conflicting provisions which
may be in effect in identified floodplain areas. However, any other
ordinance provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the
extent that those provisions are more restrictive. If there is any
conflict between any of the provisions of this chapter, the more restrictive
shall apply.
