The purpose of this section is to protect the public health, safety and welfare from harm caused by flooding. It is also the intent to prevent damage and/or loss to both public and private property. Pursuant to this purpose, the city uses floodplain management regulations contained in Chapter 15.24, adopted by reference, which designates special flood hazard areas and establishes requirements for these areas. Areas within the city’s shoreline jurisdiction are regulated by floodway and floodplain regulations in the city’s shoreline master program.
