STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION: In pursurant to North Carolina Legislature G.S. 143-215-51 et seq., G.S. 160A-381-392 and G.S. 160A-174-194 the City Council of the City of Elizabeth City.doe5 ordain the fol- lowing Flood Plain Ordinance to be effective on March 3, 1975 SECTION 2. PURPOSE AND DECLARATION: (A) The purpose of this Flood Plain Ordinance is to help control and minimize the extent of floods within the designated General Flood Plain District by providing • regulations that control artificial obstructions in floodways, prevent obstructions of water flow which increase flood heights and damage, and protect those uses vulnerable to floods so as to:. (1) Promote the public health, safety and general welfare of citizens in flood hazards areas. (2) Protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood hazards. (3) Provide for public awareness of flooding potentials. (4) Control development which will, when acting along or in combination with similar development, create an additional burden to the public in flood hazard relief, investment and disruptions. (5) Help maintain a stable tax base by preserving ' property value for future development within the Flood Plain Area. (B) It is hereby declared that within the jurisdiction of ' Elizabeth City there exists a General Flood Plain Dis- trict consisting of Knobbs Creek, Charles Creek, Pas- quotank River and Knobbs Creek Tributary. Within this district a Floodway District exists, where artificial obstructions will not be allowed except by Special Per- mit from the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Within both the Floodway District and the Floodway Fringe District • all uses not allowed as permitted uses, nonconforming uses, or permissible as Special Permit uses shall be prohibited. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS: (A) Regulatory Flood: A flood which is representative of large floods known to have occurred in the area and reasonably characteristic of what can be expected to occur on a particular stream. The Regulatory Flood is a flood of large magnitude that may be expected to occur on an average of once every one hundred years as is deter- mined by an analysis of floods in the general region. (B) Floodcyay: The channel of a stream and those portions of adjoining land which are necessary to carry and discharge a Regulatory Flood. (C) Flood Plain: An area adjoining a river, stream, water course, lake, or other body of standing water that can be covered by a Regulatory Flood. (D) General Flood Plain District: An area consisting of the Floodway District, but within the General Flood Plain Dis- trict. (E) Floodway Fringe District: An area outside the Floodway District, but within the General Flood Plain District. (F) Floodway District: That portion of the channel and ad- joining land of a stream required to provide passage for a Regulatory Flood without increasing the elevation of that flood at any point by more than one foot. (G) Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation: The minimum ele- vation below which no damageable portion of a structure may be constructed or to which uses regulated by this ordinance are required to be elevated or flood proofed. (H) Stream: A water course that collects surface run off from an area of one square mile or greater. (I) Artificial Obstruction: Any obstruction which is not a natural obstruction, including any which, while not a significant obstruction in itself, is capable of accumu- lating debris and thereby reducing the flood carrying capacity of the stream. (J) Structures: Anything constructed or erected on the ground or attached to the ground, including but not limited to permanent or temporary buildings, factories, shed, cabins, mobile homes, and other similar uses. 2 • • • (K) Natural Obstruction: Any rock, tree, gravel, or analogous natural matter that is an obstruction and has been located within the floodway by a non -human cause. (L) Standard Project FZood: A flood greater than the Regulatory Flood that may be expected to occur from the most severe combination of meterological conditions considered reasonably characteristic of the Elizabeth City Area. A standard Project Flood is intended as the practical expression of the upper limit of flood heights that are expected to occur. (M) Special Permits: Permits issued by the Board of Zoning Adjustment to users in the General Flood Plain District before certain activities or uses such as filling, storage, construction or alternative methods of flood protecting are allowed. (N) Variance: An allowance or ruling by the Board of Zoning Adjustment giving authorization for an owner or user within the General Flood Plain District to vary from the terms of this Ordinance in certain cases as defined by Article VI Section 4 (D). (0) Nonconforming Uses: Any building or use legally existing . before the passing of this Ordinance which fails to com- ply with the provisions of this Ordinance. (P) Buffer Zone: A fifty (50) foot area extending inland from the Floodway District Boundary and within the Flood - way Fringe District where structures, fill or storage are allowed only by Special Permit. • 3 ARTICLE II• ESTABLISHMENT OF FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICTS SECTION 1. FINDING OF FACT: (A) Flood Losses ResuZtinq From Periodic Inundation: The flood hazard areas of Elizabeth City, North Carolina are subject to periodic inundation from the Pasquotank River, Charles Creek, Knobbs Creek, resulting from two sources: (1) Run off from rainfall over local stream's drainage basins and (2) Abnormal wind tides in the Pasquotank River. Of the two, wind tides pose the more serious problem, adding to the streams' basin flooding. (B) Methods Used To Analuze FZoodwaus: The delineation of floodway areas covered by this ordi- nance is based upon hydraulic demands on the main tribu- tary streams when river stages are not under the influence of wind tides as determined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, North Carolina. Other survey information, reports and records supplied by them provide additional basis for this Ordinance. . SECTION 2. OFFICIAL FLOOD PLAIN ZONING MAP AND ZONING DISTRICTS: (A) Establishment of Official Flood PZain Zoni7,kq Map Set: The Official Flood.Plain Zoning Map Set consisting of 14 - plates) prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ,together with all explanatory matters thereof, is hereby adopted for reference and declared to be part of this Ordinance. The Official -Flood Plain Zoning Map Set shall be maintained in the office of City Clerk and Code Admini- stration Officer for Elizabeth City. The Official Map Set will reflect any changes or substitutions deemed necessary by the Board of Zoning Adjustment in conjunction with other resource information and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. (B) Application of Ordinance This Ordinance shall apply to all' lands within the juris- diction of Elizabeth City including the Extraterritorial Zoning Jurisdiction Boundary as shown on the Official • Flood Plain Zoning Map Set and located within the boundaries E of the General Flood Plain District. • (C) Official Flood Plain Zoning Map Set and District Designations: The Official Flood Plain Zoning Map Set shall show the mapped flood hazard areas within the jurisdiction of this Ordinance and these areas are here by designated as, the General Flood Plain District. The Official Flood Plain Zoning Map Set shall show the boundary limits of the Flood - way which shall be designated the Floodway District. The boundary limits of a Regulatory Flood shall be shown and the area between this boundary and the Floodway District Boundary and shall be designated the Floodway Fringe Dis- trict. The Control Elevations necessary for the floodway to pass a Regulatory Flood without an increase in water level of more than one foot shall at various locations be shown throughout the General Flood Plain District and be designated the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. Figure I and II on page 8 illustrate these mapped desig- nations. (D) Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation: The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation at any location throughout the General Flood Plain District shall be that of the nearest Control Elevation point shown on the Offi- cial Flood Plain Zoning Map Set. (See-rigure 1, page 7). (E) Rules for District Boundary Interpretation: • The boundaries of the Floodway District and Floodway Fringe District shall be determined by scaling distances on the Official Flood Plain Zoning Map Set. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the Floodway Fringe (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field condition) the Board of Zoning Adjustment shall make the necessary interpretation. The person contesting the lo- cation of the district boundary shall present his case to the Code Administration Officer, who shall pass the case on to the Planning Commission for recommendations to the Board of Zoning Adjustment, if he can not resolve the case. The person contesting the boundary location shall then be given a reasonable opportunity to present his case to the Board of Zoning Adjustment and to submit his own technical evidence by a licensed surveyor if he so desires. (F) Rules For Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation Interpretation: If there is a problem of determining the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for a particulan location, then at the request of an applicant and after payment by the applicant of a fee of twenty five (25) dollars to cover the cost of field work, the City Engineer may determine the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for • 0 a given location. If there is a disput over the ele- vation the applicant may take the case before the Board of Zoning Adjustment and be given the opportunity to present his own technical evidence. (G) Warning and DiscZaimer of Liability The degree of flood protection required by this Ordinance is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study taking into account a Regulatory Flood. A Standard Pro- ject Flood may occur or flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as wave action, tidal storms and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Ordinance does not imply that areas outside the General Flood Plain District boundaries or land uses permitted within such district will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Ordinance shall not create liability on the part of Elizabeth City or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. (H) Seyerability. If any section, clause, provision or portion of this Ordinance is judged unconstitutional or invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this • Ordinance shall not be affected. (I) Amendments: The regulation, restrictions, and boundaries set forth in this Ordinance may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed or repealed by the City Council; however, no such action may be taken until after a review by the Planning Commission and a public hearing has been held at which time interested parties and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least 15 days notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Elizabeth City. • EXAMPLE OF GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT DELINEATION FIGURE 1= ILLUSTRATION OF ZONING DISTRICTS AND METHOD USED TO SHOW REGULATORY FLOOD PROTECTION ELEVATION. - FIGURE II= SECTION THROUGH FLOODWAY DISTRICT AND FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT SHOWING LOCATION AND RELATIONSHIP TO CHANNEL.

(D) Uses Not Permitted: No use shall be constructed or created which will adversely effect the capacity of channels or natural drainage or any tributary to the main stream, floodway, drainage ditch or any other drainage facility or system. SECTION 2. PROVISIONS APPLYING TO THE FLOODWAY DISTRICT OF THE GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT: (A) All Uses listed in Section l (A) of Article III are permitted by right provided they do not require structures, fill or storage of materials. (B) Special Permit Uses: No artificial obstruction including structures (temporary or permanent), fill, storage of material and equipment or • other use will be permitted in the Floodway District if when acting alone or in combination with existing or rea- sonably anticipated uses, impairs the efficiency or the capacity of the floodway or increases flood heights. Uses involving structures, fill, storage or any other obstruc- tion may be permitted only upon application to the Code Administration Officer for a Special Permit, and the issuance of a Special Permit by the Board of Zoning Adjust- ment. In issuing Special Permits, the Board shall consider the effects of the proposed use in creating danger to life and property by (1) water which may be backed up or diverted by such obstruction; (2) the danger that the obstruction will be swept down stream to the injury of others; and (3) the injury or damage at the site of the obstruction itself. Special Permit uses shall be subject to the regu- lations in Article V and the following standards: (1) Any proposed fill which encroaches upon the floodway must be shown to have some beneficial purpose and pro- vide sufficient preservation of flow capacity. In addition, the amount to fill cannot be greater than is necessary to achieve the designated purpose. The pro- posed fill must be delineated by a registered engineer's plan submitted by the owner which shows the beneficial uses to which the filled land will be put, the final dimensions of the proposed land fill or other material • 10 • and the anticipated effect on the floodway water handling characteristics and capacity. Such fill or other material shall be protected against erosion by rip -rap, vegetation cover, or bulkheading. (2) Structures shall not be designed for human habita- tion and shall have.a low flood damage potential. The structure(s) if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on a building site so as to offer minimum obstruction to the flow of flood waters. In addi- tion, the following standards` shall apply: (a) Whenever possible, structures shall be con- structed with the longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of flood flow. (b) So far as practical structures shall be placed approximately on the same flood flow lines as those of adjoining structures. (c) Structures shall be firmly anchored to prevent flotation which may result in damage to other structures, restriction of bridge openings and other narrow sections of the stream or river. (d) Service facilities such as electrical and heating equipment.shall be constructed at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for the particular area or shall be flood • proofed as described in Article V, Section 2. (3) Storage of material or equipment: a The storage or processing of materials that in time of flooding are buoyant, flammable, explosive or could be injurious to human, animal or plantlife is prohibited. (b) Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed upon issuance of a Special Permit if not subject to major damage by floods and provided the materials or equipment are firmly anchored to prevent flotation or readily re- movable from the area within the time available after flood warning. SECTION 3. PROVISIONS APPLYING TO THE FLOODWAY FRINGE DISTRICT OF THE GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT: (A) Permitted Uses: Uses listed in Section 1 of Article III as permitted uses are allowed. (B) Uses Permitted With Restrictions: All uses permitted by the Elizabeth City Zoning Ordinance shall be permitted within the Floodway Fringe District • provided they are not prohibited by any other ordinance and they meet the following standards: • (1) No damageable,portion.of a structure shall be below the Regulatory Flood Protection.Elevation. (2) All structures must be firmly anchored. (3) All fill for the elevation of structures or other- wise shall require a Special Permit as indicated in Article IIJ, Section 2 (B,1) unless approved by the Code Administration Officer. (4) All residences and all other structures, except those as defined in Article 111, Section 3, Sub- section B (7), shall be constructed on fill or ele- vated on piling or other substructure with the bottom portion of the first floor framing at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. Basements shall be flood proofed to above the regulatory flood protection elevation with access either above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation or properly flood proofed. (5) If the first floor framing or structure is to be placed directly on fill, without substructure, then this fill shall be to an elevation no lower than the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. All fill shall extend at least 15 feet beyond the limits of any structure or building erected thereon. Except where supported by bulkheads, or similar structures, side slopes of fill shall be no steeper than 2 hori- zontal to 1 vertical and shall be protected against • erosion by rip -rap or vegetation cover. (6) New or replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary sewage systems for uses within the Floodway Fringe District shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems into the floodwaters, and on -site waste disposal systems shall be located so as to avoid impairment or contamination during flooding: (7) Uses not subject to substantial flood damage, not causing flood damage to other lands nor hazardous to public health may be allowed and at an elevation below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation subject to issuance of a Zoning Permit or Certi- ficate of Zoning Compliance by the Code Admini- stration Officer. (8) Service facilities such as electrical and heating equipment shall be constructed at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for the particular area or be adequately flood proofed as described by Article V, Section 2 (A). • 12 • (C) Special Permit Uses: The Board of Zoning Adjustment shall decide on Special Permits for uses that cannot comply with Section 3 (B). (1) All proposed fill within the Floodway Fringe District shall require a Special Permit unless approved by the Code Administration Officer. If a Special Permit is required then it shall conform to the requirements of Article III, Section 2 (B,l) and Article V. (2) A fifty (50) foot Buffer Zone adjoining the Flood - way District Boundary is established where struc- tures, fill or storage will be permitted only by Special Permit. (3) Structures including residences shall ordinarily be elevated by fill or substructures as provided in Section 3, Article III, but in special circum- stances may be granted a Special Permit to be flood proofed to the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation as provided in Section 2 (A,5) of Article V. SECTION 4. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO NAVIGABLE WATERS, STREAM BANKS AND THE FLOODWAY DISTRICT: (A) Uses Or Work Subject To SpeciaZ Permit Requirement: A Special Permit issued by the Board of Zoning Adjust- ment may be required for the following work or uses: (1) Erection, construction or alteration of any flood or erosion control works and structures in navi- gable water or the Floodway District. (2) Removal, alteration or construction of natural or other river bank protective barriers and bulkheads. (3) Grading, filling, excavating, dredging and bulk - heading of any land or water subject to applicable local, State and Federal regulations. (B) Procedure For Determining SpeciaZ Permit Applicability: In order to determine the applicability of requiring a Special Permit the developer or land owner must make application for any proposed work as defined in Article III, Section 4 (A) above in the form of a plan and infor- mation submitted to the Code Administration Officer and Planning Commission. This plan and information shall consist of the following:_ (1) The location of the contemplated structure or work in conjunction with adjoining lands, waters and channels. (2) The specification details and cost of the proposed work. (3) If necessary other studies such as topographic, engineering or geologic to show the strength and distribution of existing and proposed soils or • protective barriers. 13 (4) Rationale or criteria. • All plans and specifications except for residential piers, bulkheads, and seawalls shall be prepared by an engineer. (C) Determination of Special Permit Requirement: (1) The Planning Commission and Code Administration Officer shall determine the applicability of requir-. ing a Special Permit based upon: a) Effect on flood protection by the altering or constructing of a protective barrier. b) Ability of and assurance from the land owner to construct a protective barrier which will afford an equal or greater degree of wind, wave and flood protection as the existing barrier. c) Potential effect of the proposed work, structure, removal or construction to seriously disturb damage or cause river or upland erosion or interfere with natural drainage. (2) If the Planning Commission and Code Administration Officer determine that a Special Permit is not re- quired and the proposed activity is in compliance with this Ordinance, the Elizabeth City Zoning Ordinance, or any applicable State or Federal Regu- lations, then the Code Administration Officer shall issue a Certificate of Zoning Compliance. However, if the work is not executed in accordance with the • approved plan or.not executed within a reasonable time, the work may be subject to approval or denied by the Board of Zoning Adjustment. (3) If the Planning Commission determines a Special Permit is required, then the case shall be recom- mended to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for passing on a Special Permit or Variance. The Board of Zoning Adjustment may approve Special Permits or allow a Variance subject to conditions set forth in Article V, and Article VI Section 4 (D). The Board of Zoning Adjustment may require the developer to post a bond to assure that the proposed work or protective measures are carried out as planned. (D) Other Necessary State and Federal Requirements: The applicant must also obtain all necessary State and Federal approvals where applicable before construction of the proposed work. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have complete jurisdiction over navigable waters and banks thereof up to the mean high water level. A permit must be issued from them for construction, alteration, removal or other related use involving navigable waters and associ- ated,banks. 14 0 • (E) Special Regulations AppZyinq To Abandoned Boats In The FZoodway District: • i Any Boat which could create or has created an obstruction to water flow in the floodway district will not be per- mitted to be abandoned or left to become potential sunken obstructions. Any existing abandoned boat or wreck may be required to be removed at the owner's expense. 15 0 ARTICLE IV. NONCONFORMING USES SECTION 1. NONCONFORMING USES WITHIN THE GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT: (A) Continuation of Existing Uses: All nonconforming uses, as defined in Article 1, Section 3, may be continued subject to the following conditions: (1) No such use shall be reconstructed, expanded, changed, enlarged, or altered in any way which increases its nonconformity to this Ordinance. (2) Nonconforming buildings or uses may not be enlarged unless such enlargement is accomplished in con- formance with the provisions of this Ordinance. (B) Flood Hazard Nuisances: Uses or adjuncts thereof which are or have become signi- ficantly damageable by floods, could significantly accelerate flooding potential or could contribute signi- ficantly to flood damage to other property shall not be entitled to continue as nonconforming uses and may be required to be removed or conform to the regulations of this Ordinance. (C) Increase of Flood Damage Potentials: Any alteration, addition, or repair to a nonconforming structure which would substantially increase its flood damage potential shall be in accord with the requirements of Section 2, Article V, Article III, Section 2, Section 3 and other applicable provision of this Ordinance. (D) List of Nonconforminq Uses Which Are Protected: The Code Administration Officer shall prepare a list of _ those nonconforming uses which have been flood proofed or otherwise adequately protected in conformity with this Ordinance. He may issue a certificate of Zoning Compliance to the owner stating that such uses, as a result of these corrective measures, are in conformity with the provisions of this Ordinance. (E) SpeciaZ Permit Uses: Except as provided in Subsection B of Section 1, Article IV any use which has been permitted by a Special Permit . shall be considered a conforming use. 17 SECTION 2. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS ON NONCONFORMING USES WITHIN FLOODWAY FRINGE DISTRICT AND FLOODWAY DISTRICT: (A) Discontinued Uses Within The FZoodwa Frin e District: If a use is discontinued for twelve 12 consecutive months within the Floodway Fringe District, any future use of the building or site may be subject to the approval or denial by the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Future use will be limited to a use permitted by the Elizabeth City Zoning Ordinance or this Ordinance, which ever is more applicable. If the Code Administration Officer is furnished proof by the applicant and is satisfied that the future use will not be subject to flood damage or cause damage to other property in times of flooding, then the use will be allowed and will not require the Board of Zoning Adjustment approval. (B) Discontinued Uses Within The Floodway District: If a use is discontinued for a period of six (6) conse- cutive months within the Floodway District, any future use or building shall conform to this Ordinance and re- quirements of Article III, Section 2. (C) Repair of Structures In The General Flood Plain District: • Nothing in this Article shall prevent the repair or recon- struction of a building or structure existing and in use on the effective date of this Ordinance and located • totally or partially within the General Flood Plain District, provided that: (1) The bulk of the building or structure below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation in the Flood - way District is not increased. (2) Such repair or reconstruction meets all of the requirements of this Ordinance. ARTICLE V: SPECIAL PERMITS SECTION 1. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: (A) Procedure: All uses listed in this Ordinance as requiring a Special Permit will be allowed only upon application to the Code Administration Officer and issuance of a Special Permit by the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Upon receipt of an application the Code Administration Officer shall present the application along with any required information to the Planning Commission for recommendations to the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The Board of Zoning Adjustment shall make the final decision on an application. • (B) Requirements: The applicant shall submit to the Code Administration Officer the following information prepared by a regis- tered engineer or licensed surveyor: (1) Plans (7 copies) drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevation of the lot, existing and proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, flood proofing measures and the re- lationship of the above to the location of the stream channel, Floodway District, Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and surrounding uses. Additional copies may be requested as needed. 0 (C) AdditionaL Requirements: Where special circumstances necessitate more detailed information, the applicant shall furnish such of the following additional information as is deemed necessary by the Planning Commission, Code Administration Officer or Board of Zoning Adjustment for the evaluation of the effects of the proposed use upon flood flows: (1) A typical cross section showing the channel of stream, elevation of land areas adjoining each side of the channel, cross -sectional areas to be occupied by the proposed development, and high water information. 19 (2) Plan (surface view) showing elevations or contours • of the ground; size, location and spatial arrange- ment of all proposed and existing structures on the site; location and elevation of streets, water supply, sanitary facilities, photographs showing existing land uses and vegetation upstream and downstream, soil type, and other pertinent infor- mation. (3) Profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel or flow line of the stream. (4) Specifications for building construction and materials, flood proofing, filling, dredging, grading, channel improvement, storage or materials, water supply, and sanitary facilities. (5) Additional information as may be required. (D) Evaluation: 1 The Code Administration Officer, Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Adjustment may request expert technical assistance in evaluating the proposed project in relation to flood heights and velocities, the seriousness of flood damage to the use, the adequacy of the plans for protection, flood hazard potential, effect on the floodway capability to dis- charge waters in times of a flood or high water and other technical matters. Sufficient time (but not more than 90 days) shall be granted to the Code • Administration Officer and Planning Commission for detailed evaluation and recommendations to the Board of Adjustment. (2) Based upon the evaluation by the Code Administration Officer, recommendation of Planning Commission and analysis by a designated engineer or expert, the Board of Zoning Adjustment shall determine the specific flood hazard at the site and shall evaluate the suitability of the proposed use in relation to the flood hazard. A decision will be made as to the acceptance or denial of the use, and a Special Permit shall be issued if the proposed use is accepted. SECTION 2: CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO. SPECIAL PERMITS: (A) SpeeiaZ Conditions: Upon consideration of the factors listed above and the purposes of this Ordinance, the Board of Zoning Adjust- ment may attach such conditions to the granting of a Special Permit as it deems necessary to further the pur- poses of this Ordinance.
