It is the purpose of this chapter to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas identified as special flood hazard areas by the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled “The Flood insurance Study for the Town of Garfield, Washington,” dated August 1, 1977, with accompanying Flood Insurance Maps, as it now exists and as it may be hereafter amended. These areas now identified as special flood hazard areas overlay any future zoning districts. As such, they shall not add to the specified uses therein, but may restrict certain specified uses; the identification and designation of these areas is intended to meet the requirements of the federal government to maintain the Town’s eligibility for resident participation in the flood insurance program. (Ord. 107-N, §2, 1978)
