It is the purpose of the City Council in establishing the F-1 zoning restrictions, for use in areas subject to floods and inundation, to provide land use regulations to be applied on a uniform basis to such properties based upon documented and factual data from flood experience and engineering studies of possible and probable future flooding conditions, so as to prevent property damage and safeguard the health, safety and general welfare of the people. This zoning is intended to be applied to those areas which, by virtue of existing or potential construction of buildings and structures therein, or in surrounding areas, have or will have in the future the effect of creating aggravated flooding situations which theretofore, in their undeveloped state, did not constitute dangers to the public health, safety or general welfare. These zones are further intended to provide such safeguards until such time as flood protective or control works in the nature of channels or levees have been constructed so as to minimize such danger in the outlying or fringe floodway areas. (Ord. 1281 § 2, 1970; Ord. 1212 § 1, 1969; prior code § 33.525(A)).
