## Section 904 Flood Plain Overlay District (FP)
### Section 904.0 Purpose
It is the purpose of this article to promote the public health, safety, and general
welfare and to minimize losses resulting from periodic inundation of flood waters in
Village of Utica by restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health,
safety of property in time so flooding or cause excessive increases in flood height or
velocities, requiring that uses vulnerable to floods be protected from flood damage at
time of initial construction, controlling the filling, grading, dredging, and other
development which may increase flood damage, and controlling the alteration of
natural flood plains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers which are
involved in the accommodation of flood waters.
### Section 904.1 Finding of Fact
The flood hazard areas of the Village of Utica are subject to periodic inundation
which may result in loss of life and property, hazards to health and safety, disruption
of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood
protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the
public health, safety, and general welfare. These flood losses are caused by:
1. The cumulative effect of obstruction in flood plains, causing increased flood
heights and velocities.
2. The occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods and which
are not adequately elevated or protected from flood damage.
### Section 904.2 Applicable Lands
This section shall apply to all lands within the village boundaries shown on the
Official Zoning Map within the boundaries of floodway, or floodway fringe, as
identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the FIRM and
Floodway Map Nos. 390338-0001, dated December 15, 1982, and any revision
thereto as adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this resolution.
### Section 904.3 Overlay District Designation
The areas of floodway or floodway fringe identified on the Official Zoning Map shall
be shown as an overlay district. This overlay district shall be designated as the Flood
Plain Overlay (FP) District.
Those areas within the Flood Plain Overlay District designated as floodway on the
Official Zoning Map shall be subject to all the requirements of the Flood Plain
Overlay District, as well as those specific sections that address the floodway.
The Flood Plain Overlay (FP) District shall be superimposed over the Official Zoning
Map. The underlying zoning district, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, shall
hereafter be called the base district. Uses and minimum requirements shall be
determined by the base district. However, if the provisions and requirements governing the Flood Plain Overlay District are more restrictive than those of the base
district, the provisions of this article shall supersede those of the base district.
### Section 904.4 Interpretation of Boundaries
When disagreement exists as to the boundaries of the Flood Plain Overlay District or
the floodway, those boundaries shall be interpreted to be the boundaries of the
floodway and floodway fringe as shown on the Flood Insurance Maps and Floodway
Map No. 390338-0001, dated December 15, 1982. Disagreement as to boundaries of
the flood hazard areas will be resolved by the procedures outlined in the Village of
Utica Flood Damage Ordinance, and not the Village of Utica Board of Zoning
Appeals.
### Section 904.5 Warning and Disclaimer of Responsibility
The degree of flood protection required by this resolution is considered reasonable
for regulatory proposes. Larger floods may occur or flood heights may be increased
by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by
debris. This resolution does not imply that areas outside the Flood Plain Overlay
District boundaries or land uses permitted within such district will be free from
flooding or flood damages. This resolution shall not create liability on the part of
Village of Utica, Licking County, or any officer of employee thereof for any flood
damages that result from reliance of this article or any administrative decision
lawfully made thereunder.
### Section 904.6 Compliance
Unless specifically exempted as stated in Section 1313.06(b) of the Village of Utica
Flood Damage Prevention Regulations, no structure or land shall hereafter be
located, extended, converted, or structurally altered without full compliance with the
terms of this article and other applicable ordinances of the village and Licking
County.
### Section 904.7 Abrogation
This section is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements,
covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this article and another conflict or
overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
### Section 904.8 Flood Plain Development Permit
A flood plain development permit shall be obtained before the start of construction or
development of land in the Flood Plain Overlay District. This permit shall be in
addition to the zoning permit required in Section 300 of this resolution. Application for
a flood plain development permit shall be made to the Village of Utica's Flood Plain
Administrator. The Village of Utica Flood Damage Prevention Regulations (Chapter
1313 Codified Ordinances) require the mayor to receive and act on flood plain
development permits. This permit will be applied for and approved by the Flood Plain
Administrator of the Village of Utica prior to the zoning permit being applied for and approved. The Zoning Inspector must receive a copy of the flood plain development
permit before the zoning permit is issued.
All structures or uses to be located in the Flood Plain Overlay District shall comply
with the requirements of the Village of Utica Zoning Ordinance and the Village of
Utica Flood Damage Prevention Regulations and any amendment or revisions.
### Section 904.9 Other Requirements
Any buildings, structures, or land uses to be located in an identified flood hazard
area shall comply with the requirements of the Village of Utica Flood Damage
Prevention Regulations adopted by the Village of Utica.
1. Change to Non-Flood Plain District: Changes of district classification from FP to
any other classification provided by this resolution may be initiated in accordance
with the requirements of this resolution; provided that the applicant can show that
any flood condition existing at the time the FP district was originally established
no longer exists or has been remedied to the satisfaction of the Village of Utica
Flood Plain Administrator, and that the area in question is now reasonably well
protected from floods for the intended purpose and occupancy. Prior to
recommending a change of zoning to the Village Council, the township Planning
Commission shall obtain certification from the Village Flood Plain Administrator,
or the agency or department administering the Flood Hazard Prevention
Regulations, that the area proposed to be removed from the FP District is free
from inundation from a 100 year flood event, and the amendment procedures of
Article 6 shall be followed.
### Section 904.10 Required Lot Area, Lot Width, Height, Parking, Yards, and Sign Requirements
The lot area, lot width, building height, parking, yards, and sign requirements shall
comply with the base district requirements as outlined in Section 904.3 of this article.
