F. Community -wide structural works for blood control intended to remove areas from the regulatory flood plain shall not be allowed in the floodway. SECTION 5. FLOOD FRINGE DISTRICT (FF) 5.1 Permitted Uses: Permitted uses shall be those uses of land or structures listed as permitted or accessory uses in the underlying zoning use district, provided that the use or structure can be elevated on fill such that the lowest floor is at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. A. The finished fill elevation for structures shall be no lower than one (1) foot below the regulatory Rood protection elevation and the fill shall extend at such elevation at least Fifteen (15) feet beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon. B. An accessory structure or use not designed for human habitation, which constitutes a minimal investment, and which does not exceed 500 square feet at its largest projection may be flood proofed in accordance with the FP-1 or FP-2 flood proofing classifications in the State Building Code. As an alternative, the use or structure may be flood proofed to the 1711-3 or FP-4 classification in the State Building Code (if a detached garage, the garage must be used solely for parking vehicles and limited storage). Flood proofed accessory structures must meet the following additional standards: (1) The structure must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure and shall be designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls; (2) Any mechanical and utility equipment in a structure must be elevated to or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or properly flood proofed; and (3) To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two "automatic" openings in the outside walls of the structure having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding. There must be openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings must be no higher than one foot above the lowest adjacent grade to the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding will not satisfy this requirement for automatic openings C. All permitted uses shall comply with the "Standards for all Flood Fringe Uses" listed in Section 5.3. 52 Conditional Uses: Any structure within the district that is not elevated on fill or eligible under Section 5.1(B) shall only be allowable as a conditional use. An application for a conditional use shall be subject to the standards and criteria specified below and in Section 5.3. The procedures of the Zoning Ordinance applicable to conditional use permit applications shall apply to applications under this Section.
