Section 221 - Designated Floodway RegulationsSince the flood hazard in the designated floodway is usually very great due to the greater depth and higher velocity of floodflows, permitted uses should be carefully considered.
(a) Uses may include those open space uses which require no structures, landfill, or stream channel alteration, constituting a threat to life or significantly affecting the carrying capacity of the floodway.(b) Permitted uses may include crop arming, truck gardening, livestock grazing, and similar agricultural or recreational uses.(c) Uses may be restricted on an interim basis prior to project construction so long as permanent regulations are adopted within one year after being advised that necessary regulations must be established.(d) Use regulation must provide that no buildings or structures shall be constructed, altered, moved within or into the designated floodway, which will endanger life or significantly restrict the carrying capacity of the floodway.Cal.
