Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for City Council consideration is Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3 which
represents a request by the City of Huntington Beach, Community Development Department
to amend the floodplain provisions contained in Chapter 222, Floodplain Overlay District, of
the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. Following adoption of the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance in October 1994, staff forwarded a copy of the floodplain provisions to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA identified provisions that were not
in compliance with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This
amendment complies with NFIP and is necessary to ensure that the City maintains its NFIP
status.

Analysis:
A. History
The National Flood Insurance Program was authorized by Congress in 1968. This
program allows federal assistance to victims of flooding by providing an opportunity for
property owners to purchase from the Federal Government insurance protection for
structures and contents exposed to the peril of flooding. This insurance, however, is only
available to those individuals or corporations whose insurable property is located within a
community that has agreed to adopt ordinances that will mitigate the impact of future
flooding.
Huntington Beach adopted its first floodplain ordinance in 1983. Since that time the
federal government has required and recommended amendments to the floodplain
ordinance. During the rewrite of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code (1990-1994),
Planning Staff prepared a revised floodplain ordinance that incorporated higher regulatory
standards as recommended by the California Department of Water Resources. The
revised floodplain provisions were forwarded to FEMA for review and approval prior to
adoption by the City Council.
During a routine community assistance visit by FEMA in December 1994, FEMA staff
advised the City that the recently adopted ordinance was incomplete and changes were
necessary to bring the City into compliance with NFIP regulations. The FEMA
CD95-21.DOC -2- 05/02/95 3:21 PM
*QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACA
MEETING DATE: May 15, 1995 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 95-21
representative reviewed the proposed changes with staff. These revisions to the
ordinance must be adopted by the City Council!and forwarded to FEMA within 180 days of
their written notice to the City. This time period expires on June 22, 1995.
B. Proiect Proposal
Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3 is a request to amend Chapter 222, Floodplain Overlay
District, of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. FEMA, who enforces the requirements
of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), has identified a need to amend the City's
provisions to ensure compliance with the requirements of NFIP. The amendment clarifies
flood protection measures necessary for properties located in the floodplain overlay
districts, -FP1, -FP2, and -FP3. There are no changes to the floodplain boundaries.
The Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3 proposes the following changes:
♦ Clarify that the definition of"substantial improvement" includes "substantial damage."
♦ Correct the definition of"market value."
♦ Relocate the provision that prohibits the use of fill to support buildings in the -FP3
district.
♦ Address elevation requirements for structures located in -FP2 district and shown on the
Flood Insurance Rate Map as AO and A zones.
♦ Delete text that is not pertinent to the chapter.
♦ Correct typographical errors.
C. Zoning Code Amendment
The changes to Chapter 222, Floodplain Overlay Districts, include modifications to the
definitions of"substantial improvement" and "replacement cost." Federal regulations
require floodplain compliance for new construction and when substantial improvement
equals or exceeds 50% of market value. The regulations, however, do not define market
value. Although many jurisdictions throughout the country use assessed value of a
structure, the City of Huntington Beach uses the formula used to calculate building permit
value. This method was selected because it was believed to be the fairest method to
determine value since the passage of Proposition 13, the property tax initiative.
When the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance was adopted, it substituted the term
"replacement value" for "market value." Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3 corrects the
CD95-21.DOC -3- 05/02/95 3:21 PM
*QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACMN
MEETING DATE: May 15, 1995 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 95-21
definition to reflect the term "market value" as required by FEMA and clarifies that
"substantial improvement" includes "substantial damage," which is defined.
Other changes to the floodplain provisions are intended to reduce flood losses in the
floodplain. When obstructions are inadequately anchored, floodproofed, elevated, or
otherwise protected from flood damage, flooding may result in loss of life and property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and government services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment to the tax
base. Substantial damage can occur to property and/or structures located on fill in the -
FP3 district due tidal wave action. Relocating the prohibition of using fill to support
buildings in the -FP3 district from Section 222.14.B.1, standards of construction to Section
222.12.C, land use controls, allows one section of the Chapter to identify all permitted and
prohibited uses in each -FP district.
FEMA requires the provisions to address elevation requirements for structures located in
an -FP2 zone and shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map as AO and A zones and for
manufactured housing. The elevation requirement for structures in the -FP3 zone is
revised for simplicity and conformance to NFIP requirements. These changes to the
development standards and standards of construction will ensure that new construction or
substantial improvement will be properly protected from possible flood damage and reduce
flood loss to the City and property owner.
All recreational vehicles placed on a site in a flood hazard area must comply with NFIP
requirements. They must be capable of being driven off a site in the event of possible flash
flooding or coastal erosion to the area unless the recreational vehicle is elevated and
anchored and also located away from the mean high tide line along the coast. Although a
building permit or zoning approval is only required to establish a recreational vehicle park
or storage area, Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3 clarifies that recreational vehicles are
subject to floodplain compliance.
D. Planning Commission Meeting:
On April 11, 1995, the Planning Commission acted to recommend to the City Council
approval of Zoning Code Amendment No. 95-3. There were no speakers addressing this
item during the public hearing. Staff reported to the Commission that the current
improvements to the Santa Ana River in the Orange County area will not remove Huntington
Beach from the floodplain or reduce flood insurance rates until such time as the entire Santa
Ana River project, which covers Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, is
completed and the Orange County Environmental Management Agency files a Letter of Map
Revision to FEMA. This action is not expected to occur until approximately 1997. When the
flood insurance rate map is revised, portions of Huntington Beach may still remain in the
floodplain. Therefore, the amendments to the floodplain provisions must be approved to
ensure continued compliance with all NFIP requirements.

222.02 Floodplain Overlay District Established
- The FP Floodplain Overlay District is established and applies to all areas of special flood hazard
within the City. If not controlled, periodic inundation results in loss of life and property, health and
safety hazards, disruption of commerce and government 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 the cumulative effect of
obstructions in areas of special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities, and when
inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated
or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss.
222.04 Zoning Map Designators; Establishment of Hazard Areas
A. The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) in the Flood Insurance Study for the City of Huntington Beach dated
August 16, 1982 and delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) dated
February 16, 1983 (revised September 16, 1989) and the Orange County, County-wide
FIRM dated November 3, 1993 and all subsequent revisions and/or amendments are
hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. FEMA's most
recent FIRM and flood insurance study(on file with the Director) may be supplemented
by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are
recommended to the City Council by the Director.
B. Three subdistricts of the FP Overlay District are designated for purposes of flood hazard
provisions.
1. -FPl Subdistrict shall apply to that area designated as a floodway or right-of-way
necessary for implementation of the Santa Ana River Channel Plan by the U.S.
Army Corp of Engineers.
Chapter 222 222-1 3/1/95
2. -FP2 Subdistrict shall apply to FIRM areas A, AE, AO, and AH and any other
area determined by the Director to be subject to similar flood hazards.
3. -FP3 Subdistrict shall apply to FIRM areas V or VE and any other area
determined by the Director to be subject to similar flood hazard.
C. The-FP District boundaries shall be delineated on the Zoning Map by adding a "-FP"
designator to the base district designator for the area affected, followed by the
appropriate subdistrict designation(1, 2, or 3).
222.06 Definitions
Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the definitions given in this section shall govern
the provisions of this chapter.
A. Appeal. A request for review of the Director's interpretation of any provision of this
chapter, or a request for a variance.

base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly-defined channel does not exist;
the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be
evident..
C. Area of special flood hazard. The land in the floodplain within a community subject to a
1 percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. This area is designated as

given year(also called the 100-year flood).
E. Basement. Any area of a building having its floor subgrade on all sides.
F. Breakaway wall. Any type of wall, whether solid or lattice, and whether constructed or
concrete, masonry, wood, metal, plastic, or any other suitable building material which is
not part of the structural support of the building and which is designed to break away
under abnormally high tides or wave action without damage to the structural integrity of
the building on which it is used or any building to which it might be carried by flood
waters. A breakaway wall shall have a safe design loading resistance of not less than 10
and no more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls must be certified
by a California-registered engineer or architect and shall meet the following conditions:
1. Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than.that which would
occur during the base flood; and
2. The elevated portion of the building shall not incur any structural damage due to
the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously in the event of a base
flood.
Chapter 222 222-2 3/l/95
G. Coastal high hazard area. The area subject to high velocity waters including, but not
limited to, coastal and tidal inundation or tsunamis. The area is designated on a FIRM

official maps on which areas of special flood hazard, the risk premium zones and the
floodway applicable to the community are delineated.
M. Flood Insurance Study. The "Flood Insurance Study for the City of Huntington Beach,"
prepared by the Federal Insurance Administration(FIA), providing flood profiles, the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps, the Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps and the water
surface elevations of the base flood.
N. Floodplain. Any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source.
O. Floodplam management. The operation of an overall program of corrective and
preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency
preparedness plans, flood control works, and floodplain management control.
P. Floodplain management regulations. Zoning and subdivision ordinances, building
codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances(such as floodplain, grading and
erosion control) and other applications of police power. This term describes federal,
state or local regulations in any combination thereof which provide standards for the
purpose of preventing and reducing flood damage and loss.

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 not include land preparation such as clearing, grading, and filling; nor

222.08 Methods of Reducing Flood Hazards
Methods and provisions for reducing flood hazard include:
A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due
to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood
heights or velocities;
B. Requiring that uses and structures vulnerable to floods be protected against flood
damage at the time of initial construction;
C. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplain, stream channels, and natural protective
barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood
damage; and
E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert
flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.

222.10 General Provisions
A. Compliance. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended,
converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other
applicable provisions. This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any
existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter or
another chapter, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever
imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
B. Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The degree of flood protection required by this
chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and
engineering considerations. As a consequence, floods can and will occur on rare
occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This chapter
does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted
within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. This chapter shall not
create liability on the part of the incidental parcels which do not front a sandy beach,
which have bulkheads and are not adjacent to recreation or public use areas and other
existing or proposed lateral or vertical easements, or when development is proposed on
an existing subdivided single-family residential lot between developed residential
parcels.
C. Director--Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the Director in enforcing
the provisions of this chapter shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Reviewing building permits to determine that the permit requirements of this
chapter have been satisfied, that all other required state and federal permits have
been obtained, and that the site is reasonably safe from flooding.
2. Reviewing building permits to determine that the proposed development, when
considered with all other existing and anticipated development, will increase the
water surface elevation of the base flood more than 1 foot at any point.
3. Making interpretations where needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of
areas of special flood hazard.
4. Obtaining and maintaining for public inspection flood insurance policy information
concerning the certified elevation for residential developments and subdivisions,
and the certification required for floor elevations, for developments located in
areas where shallow flooding is likely to occur; for floodproofing of nonresidential
developments; for coastal high hazard areas; for anchoring of manufactured
homes; and for floodway encroachments.
5. Notifying adjacent communities and responsible staff and federal agencies prior
to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse. The Director shall further ensure
that the flood-carrying capacity is maintained for any watercourse, or portion
thereof, which has been altered or relocated.
6. Taking action to remedy violations of this chapter as provided in Chapter 249.
Chapter 222 222-6 3/l/95
D. Building Permit Review. Application for building permit shall include:

alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the
Director in the enforcement or administration of this chapter in accord with the
procedures established in Chapter 241 and 248.
1. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements
on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots
with existing structures constructed below base flood level, providing the
standards listed in this chapter are considered. As the lot size increases
beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the
variances increases.
2. Variances may be granted for new construction and "substantial
improvement and for other development necessary for the conduct of a
functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of Chapter 222 are
satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by
Chapter 222 222-12 3/1/95
i
methods that minimize flood damage during the base flood and create no
additional threats to public safety nor public nuisance.
3. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures
which are listed on a local or state inventory, determined by the Secretary of
the Interior to be historic, or listed on the National Register of Historic
Places provided the proposed repair or rehabilitation is necessary to
preserve the historic character and design of the structure and allow the
continued designation as an historic structure.
4. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be provided written
notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor
elevation below the regulatory flood elevation and that the cost of flood
insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk. A copy of the
notice shall be recorded by the Director in the office of the Orange County
Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of
title of the affected parcel of land.
B. Factors to be Considered. In reviewing applications, the Planning Commission
shall consider all relevant factors, including technical evaluations, this section, and
other standards specified in this chapter. In reaching a decision on an appeal or
variance, the Commission may Shall consider the:
1. Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
2. Danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
3. Importance of the services provided to the community by the proposed
facility;
4. Necessity of waterfront location for the facility, if applicable;
5. Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not
subject to flooding or erosion damage;
6. Compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated
developments;
7. Relationship of the proposed use to the General Plan and the floodplain
management program for that area;
8. Safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency
vehicles;
9. Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of
the flood waters expected at the site; and
Chapter 222 222-13 3/1/95
10. Cost of providing government services during and after flood conditions,
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as
sewer, gas, electic and water services, and streets and bridges.
C. Findings. When granting a variance, the Planning Commission shall make the
following findings in addition to the findings contained in Chapter 241.
1. The project provides the minimum deviation to afford relief from the
provisions of Chapter 222.
2. The proposed project will not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety or extraordinary public expense create a nuisance,
cause fraud or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local
laws or ordinances.
D. Authority to Impose Additional Conditions. In addition to the authority to
impose conditions under Section 241.14, the Planning Commission may attach
conditions to the granting of variances as deemed necessary.
E. Records. The Director shall maintain a record of all variance actions and findings
to justify their issuance, and report such variances to FEMA and FIA upon
request. --
