Is the project in a floodplain?

Floodplain maps are available for viewing the Neighborhood Services office and the flood plain layers can also be viewed in the City’s Interactive Webmap.  FEMA also has a portal where you find floodplain maps called the Map Service Center.The 1 percent annual chance flood zone (also known as the 100-year floodplain) is included on the Zoning Map as the Floodplain Management Overlay District (FP-O).  The City has adopted a floodplain management ordinance by reference in Article 28 of the Zoning Regulations. If you determine the project is within the floodplain, an elevation certificate may be required from a licensed surveyor who can also assist with any additional floodplain permits that may be required.  For more information on the Floodplains please visit the Floodplain Information page.
