FLOOD DAMA6E PREVENTION ORDINANCE
ARTICLE I
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDIN6S OF FACT, PURPOSE AND METHODS
SECTION A. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
Texas Water Code
The Legi sl ature of the State of Texas has i n ect t. seq.
state statutes
delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations
designed to minimize flood losses. Therefore, the City Council
governing body
of th�_�z� _ of F s nf T�PXa� � does ordai n as
local unit state
follows:
SECTION B. FINDIN6S OF FACT
(1 ) The flood hazard areas of the Citv of Friendswooc�re subject
to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental
services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection
and relief, all of which adversely affect the public helath, safety
and general welfare.
(2) These flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of
obstructions in floodplains which cause an increase in flood heights
and� velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazards areas by uses
vulnerable to floods and ha2ardous to other lands becuase they are
inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood
damage.
SECTION C. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is the purpose of tnis ordinance 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 to:
(1 ) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control
projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated
with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general
public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as
water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and
bridges located in floodplains;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound
use and development of flood-prone areas in such a manner as to minimize
future flood blight areas; and
(7) Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is
in a flood area.

SECTION D. METHODS OF REDUCIN6 FLOOD LOSSES
In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance uses the following
methods:
(1 ) Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety
or property in times of flood, or cause excessive increases in flood
heights or velocities;
(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities
which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time
of initial construction;
(3) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels,
and natural protective barriers, which are involved in the accommodation
of flood waters;
(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which .
may increase flood damage;
(5) Prevent or regulate the constructiuon of flood barriers which
will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards
to other lands.

ARTICLE 2
DEFINITIONS
Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this �
ordinance shall be interpreted to give them the meaning they have in
common usage and to give this ordinance its most reasonable application.
APPEAL - means a request for a review of the Flood Plain Administrator's
interpretation of any prvvision of this ordinance or a request for
a variance.
AREA OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD - is the land in the floodplain within
a community subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding
in any given year. The area may be designaied as Zone A on the Flood
Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM). After detailed ratemaking has been completed
in preparation for publication of the FIRM, Zone A usually is refined
into Zones A, AE, AH, AU, A1-99, V0, V1-30, VE or V.
BASE FLOOD - means the flood having a one percent chance of being
equalled or exceeded in any given year.
CRITICAL FEATURE - means an integral and readily identifiable part
of a flood protection system, without which the flood protection provided
by the entire system would be compromised.
DEVELOPMENT - means any man-made change in improved and unimproved
real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures,
mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling
operations.
ELEVATED BUILDIN6 - means a nonbasement building (i ) built, in the
case of a building in Zones A1-30, AE, A, A99, A0, AH, B, C, X, and
D, to have the top of the el evated f 1 oor, or i n ihe case of a bui 1 di ng
in Zones V1-30, VE, or V, to have the bottom of the lowest horizontal
structure member of the elevated floor elevated above the ground level
by means of pilings, columns (posts and piers), or shear walls parallel
to the floor of the water and (ii ) adequately anchored so as not to
impair the structural integrity of the building during a flood of up
to the magnitude of the base flood. In the case of Zones A1-30, AE,
A, A99, A0, AH, B, C, X, D, "elevated building" also includes a building
elevated by means of fill or solid foundation perimeter walls with
openings sufficient to facilitate the ihe unimpeded movement of flood
waters. In ihe case of Zones V1-30, VE, or V, "elevated building"
also includes a building otherwise meeting the definition of "elevated
building", even though the lower area is enclosed by means of breakaway
walls if the breakaway walls meet the standards of Section 60.3(e)(5)
of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.
EXISTIN6 CONSTRUCTION - means for the purposes of determining rates,
structures for which the "start of construction" commenced before the
effective date of the FIRM or before January l , 1975, for FIRMs effective
before that date. "Existing construction" may also be referred io
as "existing structures. "
FLOOD OR FLOODING - means a general and temporary condition of partial
or complete inundtion of normally dry land areas from:
(lj the overflow of inland or tidal waters.
(2) the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters
from any source.
FLOOD HAZARD BOUNDARY MAP (FNBM) - means an official map of a community
on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency has delineated the
doundaries of the flood, mudslide (i .e. , mudflow) related erosion areas
having special hazards have been designated as Zone A, M, and/or E.
3
FLOUDPLAIN OR FLOOD-PRONE AREA - means any land area susceptible to
being inundated by water from any source (see definition of flooding) .
FLOOD PROTECTION SYSTEM - means those physical structural works
for which funds have been authorized, appropriated, and expended and
which have been constructed specifically to modify flooding in order
to reduce the extent of the areas within a community subject to a
"special flood hazard" and the extent of the depths of associaied
flooding. Such as system typically includes hurricane tidal barriers,
dams, reservoirs, levees or dikes. These specialized flood modifying
works are those constructed in conformance with sound engineering
standards.
LEVEE - means a man-made structure, usually an earttien embankment,
designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices
to contain, control , or divert the flow of water so as to provide
protection from temporary flooding.
LEYEE SYSTEM - means a flood protection system which consists of a
levee, or levees, and associated structures, such as closure and drainage
devices, which are constructed and operated in accordance with sound
engineering practices.
LOWEST FLOOR - means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area
(including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure,
usable solely for parking or vehicles, building access or storage in
an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest
floor; provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the
structure in violation of the applicable non-elevation design requirement
of Section 60.3 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.
MANUFACTURED HOME - means a structure transportable in one or more
sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for
use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required
utilities. For flood plain management purposes the term "manufaciured
home" also includes park trailers, travel trailers, and other similar
vehicles placed on a site for greater than 180 consecutive days. For
insurance purposes the term "manufactured home" does not include park
trailers, travel trailers, and other similar vehicles.
MEAN SEA LEYEL - means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance
Program, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or oiher
datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community' s Flood
Insurance Rate Map are referenced.
NEW CONSTRUCTUON - means, for flood plain management purposes, structures
for which the "start of construction" commenced on or after ihe effective
date of a flood plain management regulation adopted by a community.
START OF CONSTRUCTION - (for other than new construction or substantial
improvements under the Coasial Barrier Resources Act (Pub. L. 97-348) ) ,
includes substanital improvement and means the date the building permit
was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair,
reconstruction, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days
of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement
of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring
of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of
columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement
of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does
iiot include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling;
nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor
does it include excavation for basement, footings, piers or foundations
or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation
on the properiy of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not
occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure.
4
STRUCTURE - means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or
liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a
manufactured home. �
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT - means any repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50q
of the market value of the struciure either, (1 ) before the improvement
or repair is started, or (2) if the structure has been damaged and
is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the . purpose of
this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur wh�n ,
the first alteration of any wall , ceiling, floor, or other structural
part of the building commences, whether or �not that alteration affects
the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however,
include either (1 ) any project for improvement of a structure to comply
with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code
specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living
conditions, or (2) any alteration of a structure listed on the National
Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places.
VARIANCE - is a grant of relief to a person from the requirements of
this ordinance when specific enforcement would result in unnecessary
hardship. A variance, therefore, permits construction or development
in a manner otherwise prohibited by this ordinance. (For full
requirements see Section 60.6 of the National Flood Insurance Program
regulations. )
VIULATION - means the failure of a structure or other development to
be fully compliant with the community's flood plain management
regulations. A structure or other development without the elevation
certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance
required in Section 60.3(b)(5) , (c)(4) , (c)(lU) , (d)(3) , (e)(2), (e)(4) ,
or (e)(5) is presumed to be in violation until such time as that
documentation is provided.
WATER SURFACE ELEYATION - means the height, in relation to the National
Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of' 1929 (or other datum, where specified) ,
of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the flood plains
of coastal or riverine areas.

(5) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation
or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of Historic
Places or ihe State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to
the procedures set forth in the remainder of this ordinance.
(6) Variances may ' be issued for new construction and substantial
improvemenis to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size
contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed
below the base flood level , providing the � relevant factors in Section
C(2) of this Article have been fully considered. As the lot size
increases beyond the one-half acre, the technical justification required
for issuing the variance increases.
(7) Upon consideration of the factors noted above and the intent of
this ordinance, the Appeal Board may attach such conditions to the
granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purpose
and objectives of this ordinance (Article l , Section C).
(8) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if

result.
(9) Prerequisites for granting variances:
a. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the
variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to
afford relief.
b. Variances shall only be issued upon, (i ) showing a good and
sufficient cause; (ii ) a determination that failure to grant the variance
would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant, and (iii ) 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, cause fraud on or
victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or
ordinances.
c. Any application to whom a variance is granted shall be given
written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with
the lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation, and that
the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased
risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
(10) Variances may be issued by a community for new construction and
substantial imrovements and for other development necessary for the
conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that (i ) the criteria
outlined in Article 4, Section D(1 )-(9) are met, and (ii ) the structure
or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages
during the base flood and create no additonal threats to public safety.
