Located within areas of special flood hazard established in section 13-7, are areas
designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to
the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion
potential, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements
and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway unless it has been demonstrated
through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering
practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood
levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(2) If subsection 13-21(1) above is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements
shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of article V.
