§ 7B-12. Floodways.

Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 7B-2 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:

(1)

Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development within the adopted floodway unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis performed in accordance with standard engineering practice and certified by a registered professional engineer or architect licensed in the state of California that the proposed encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.

(2)

If paragraph (1) hereof is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this chapter.

(3)

Prohibit the placement of any manufactured homes, except in an existing manufactured home park or existing manufactured home subdivision.
