WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Washington has authorized local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry; and WHEREAS, flood hazard areas of the City of Pasco, when subject to periodic inundation, can result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, 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; and WHEREAS, flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage use in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pasco conducted a public hearing on June 1, 1987 and following said hearing, determined the proposed regulations are designed to mitigate flood hazard losses and are in the public interest; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. New Chapter 24.04 of the Pasco Municipal Code hereby is enacted to read as follows: CHAPTER 24.04 FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES Sections: 24.04.010 Findings of Fact 24.04.020 Statement of Purpose 24.04.030 Methods of Reducing Flood Losses 24.04.010 FINDINGS OF FACT. (1) The flood hazard areas of the City of Pasco, when subject to periodic inundation, can result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, 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. (2) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative Sc effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage use in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. 24.04.020 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. It is the purpose of this title to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed: (1) To protect human life and health; (2) To minimize expenditure of public money and costly flood control projects; (3) To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; (4) To minimize prolonged business interruptions; (5) To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; (6) To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas; (7) To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and, (8) To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. 24.04.030 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES. In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance includes methods and provisions for: (1) Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which results in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities; (2) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; (3) Controlling the alteration of natural flood plains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters; (4) Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and, (5 ) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. Section 2. New Chapter 24.08 of the Pasco Municipal Code hereby is enacted to read as follows: CHAPTER 24.08 DEFINITIONS Sections: 24.08.010 24.08.015 24 08.020 24.08.025 24.08.030 24.08.035 24.08.040 24.08.045 24.08.050 24.08.055 24.08.060 24.08.065 24.08.070 24.08.075 24.08.080 24.08.085 24.08.090 Interpretation and construction Appeal Area of shallow flooding Area of special flood hazard Base flood Development Flood or Flooding Flood insurance rate map (FIRM) Floodway Floor Manufactured home Manufactured home park or subdivision New construction Start of construction Structure Substantial improvement Variance 24.08.010 INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION.

In the interpretation and application of this ordinance, all provisions shall be: (1) Considered as minimum requirements; (2) Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and, (3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. 24.12.060 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. The degree of flood protection required by this title is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This title does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City of Pasco, any officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that results from reliance on this title or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. Nothing in this Title is intended to protect any particular person or class of persons from any kind of injury or loss. Section 4. New Chapter 24.16 of the Pasco Municipal Code hereby is enacted to read as follows: CHAPTER 24.16 ADMINISTRATION Sections: 24.16.010 24.16.020 24.16.030 24.16.032 24.16.034 24.16.036 24.16.038 24.16.040 24.16.042 Development permit required Designation of the administrator Duties and responsibilities of the administrator Use of other base flood data Information to be obtained and maintained Alteration of watercourses Interpretation of firm boundaries Variance procedure Conditions for variance 24.16.010 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT REQUIRED.

The permit shall be for all structures including manufactured homes, as set forth in the DEFINITIONS, and for all development including fill and other activities, also set forth in the DEFINITIONS. (1) The City of Pasco Building Inspector is hereby appointed to administer and implement this title by granting or denying development permit applications in accordance with its provisions. (2) For those type of construction or development projects which do not require a building permit but involve some other local legislative or administrative approval (i.e., shorelines permit, conditional use permit, subdivision or short plat approval, etc.), the official responsible for a project's compliance with this ordinance shall be the Community Development Director for the City of Pasco. 24.16.030 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Duties of the Building Inspector shall include but not be limited to: (1) Review all development permits to determine that the permit requirements of this ordinance have been satisfied. (2) Review all development permits to determine that all necessary federal and state permits have been obtained. 24.16.032 USE OF OTHER BASE FLOOD DATA. When base flood evaluation data has not been provided in accordance with Section 24.12.020 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD, the Building Inspector shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state, or other source, in order to administer Section 24.20.090 SPECIFIC STANDARDS, and 24.20.130. FLOODWAYS. 24.16.034 INFORMATION TO BE OBTAINED AND MAINTAINED. (1) Where base flood elevation data is provided through the Flood Insurance Study, or required as in Section 24.16.034, obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to means sea level) of the lowest habitable floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures, and whether or not the structure contains a basement. (2) For all new or substantially improved floodproo fed structures: (a) verify and record the actual elevation in relation to sea level); and (b) maintain the floodproofing certifications required in Section 24.20.110. (3) Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provision of this ordinance. 24.16.036 ALTERATION OF WATERCOURSES. (1) Notify adjacent municipalities and the Washington State Department of Ecology prior to any alteration of a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration. (2) Require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity is not diminished. 24.16.038 INTERPRETATION OF FIRM BOUNDARIES. The building inspector shall make interpretations where needed, as to exact location of boundaries of the area of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in Section 24.16.040. 24.16.040 VARIANCE PROCEDURE. (1) The provision of Chapter 22.16 "Hearing Examiner System", shall apply in the event that an aggrieved person or persons alleges there is an error in any requirement, decisions, or determination made by the Building Inspector or Community Development Director in the enforcement administration of this title. (2) In reviewing such appeals, the hearing examiner shall follow the procedures contained in Chapter 22.16 and shall also consider all technical evaluations and relevant factors, all standards specified in other sections of this title, and the following addition criteria: (i) in danger the materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; (ii) the danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (iii) the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (iv) the importance of the service provided by the proposed facility to the community; (v) the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (vi) the availability of alternative locations (for the proposed use) which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; (vii) the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; (viii) the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plan management for that area; (ix) the safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; (x) the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and, (xi) the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges. (3) Upon consideration of the factors of Section 24.16.101(2) and the purposes of this title, the Hearing Examiner may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this title. (4) The Community Development Director shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. 24.16.042 CONDITIONS FOR VARIANCES. (1) Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots which existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing items (i-xi) in Section 24.16.040(2) have been fully considered. As the lot increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increase. (2) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this section. (3) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. (4) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. (5) Variances shall only be issued upon: (a) a showing of good and sufficient cause; and (b) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and, (c) a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, caused fraud on or victimization of the public as identified in Section 24.16.040(2), or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. (6) Variances as interpreted in the National Flood Insurance program are based on the general zoning law principal that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. They primarily address small lots in densly populated residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite rare. (7) Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to allow a lesser degree of floodproofing than watertight or dry-floodproofing, where it can be determined that such action will have low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except Section 24.16.042, and otherwise complies with Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of the GENERAL STANDARDS. (8) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest flood elevation below the base flood elevation. Section 5. New Chapter 24.20 of the Pasco Municipal Code hereby is enacted to read as follows: CHAPTER 24.20 PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD PROTECTION Sections: 24.20.010 24.20.020 24.20.030 24.20.040 24.20.060 24.20.080 24.20.090 24.20.100 24.20.110 24.20.120 24.20.130 General standards Anchoring Construction materials and methods Utilities Subdivision proposals Review of building permits Specific standards Residential construction Non residential construction Manufactured homes Floodways 24.20.010 GENERAL STANDARDS. In all areas of special flood hazards the following standards are required: 24.20.020 ANCHORING. (1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent floatation, collapse or lateral movements of the structure. (2) All manufactured homes must likewise be anchored to prevent floatation, collapse, or lateral movement, and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors (reference FEMA's "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas" guidebook for additional techniques). 24.20.030 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS. (1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. (2) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. (3) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall be designed and/or otherwise elevated or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. 24.20.040 UTILITIES. (1) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; (2) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharge from the systems into flood waters; and, (3) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. 24.20.060 SUBDIVISION PROPOSALS. (1) All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; (2) All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage; (3) All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage; and, (4) Where base flood elevation data has not been provided from another authoritative source, it shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments which contain at least 50 lots or 5 acres (whichever is less). 24.20.080 REVIEW OF BUILDING PERMITS. Where elevation data is not available either through the Flood Insurance Study or from another authoritative source (Section 24.16.034), applications for building permits shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgement and includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available. 24.20.090 SPECIFIC STANDARDS. In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as set forth in Section 24.12.020 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD, or Section 24.16.032, Use of Other Base Flood Data, the following provisions are required: 24.20.100 RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION. (1) New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above base flood elevation. (2) Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: (a) a minimum of two openings have a total net area of not less than one inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. (b) the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. (c) openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. 24.20.110 NONRESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION. New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structures shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the level of the base flood elevation; or, together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall: (1) Be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water; (2) Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy; (3) Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisions of this subsection based on their development and/or review of the structural design, specifications and plans. Such certifications shall be provided to the official as set forth in Section 24.16.034(2). (4) Nonresidential structures that are elevated, not floodproofed, must meet the same standards for space below the lowest floor as described in 24.20.100(2). 24.20.120 MANUFACTURED HOMES. All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially improved within Zones A1-30, MI, and AE shall be elevated on a permanent foundation such that the lowest floor of the manufactured home is at or above the base flood elevation and securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system in accordance with the provisions of subsection 24.20.020(2). 24.20.130 FLOODWAYS. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 24.12.120 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodways in an extremely hazardous area sue 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 unless certification by a registered professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. (2) If Section 24.20.130(1) is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this chapter (24.20). i PASSED by City Council and appcoved by the Mayor this / day of 1987. / ' ATT T: ells, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: 1}J LQO Greg A.4iubstello, City Attorney Section 6.
