Within the general floodplain <br />district, the floodway district standards in section 117-183 apply unless the floodway <br />boundary is determined, according to the process outlined in section 117-185. Once the <br />floodway boundary is determined, the flood fringe district standards in section 117-184 may <br />apply outside the floodway. <br />(B) Lands to which this subdivision applies. This subdivision applies to all lands within the jurisdiction of <br />the city shown on the official zoning map and/or the attachments to the map as being located within <br />the boundaries of the floodway, flood fringe, or general floodplain districts. <br />(1) The floodway, flood fringe and general floodplain districts are overlay districts that are <br />superimposed on all existing zoning districts. The standards imposed in the overlay districts <br />are in addition to any other requirements in the underlying zoning district. In case of a conflict, <br />the more restrictive standards will apply. <br />(C) Incorporation of maps by reference. The following maps, together with all attached material, are <br />hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of the official zoning map and this <br />subdivision. The attached material includes the Flood Insurance Study for Anoka County, <br />Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas and the flood insurance rate maps enumerated below, all dated <br />December 16, 2015 and all prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. These <br />materials are on file in the community development department. <br />• 27003C0142E <br />• 27003C0186E <br />• 27003C0144E <br />• 27003CO257E <br />• 27003C0165E <br />• 27003CO280E <br />• 27003C0166E <br />• 27003CO281E <br />• 27003C0167E <br />• 27003CO282E <br />• 27003C0170E <br />• 27003CO283E <br />(D) Regulatory flood protection elevation. The regulatory flood protection elevation (RFPE) is an <br />elevation no lower than one foot above the elevation of the regional flood plus any increases in <br />flood elevation caused by encroachments on the floodplain that result from designation of a <br />floodway. <br />(E) Interpretation. The boundaries of the zoning districts are determined by scaling distances on the <br />flood insurance rate map. <br />(1) Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the official zoning map and <br />actual field conditions, the flood elevations shall be the governing factor. The zoning <br />administrator must interpret the boundary location based on the ground elevations that <br />existed on the site on the date of the first National Flood Insurance Program map showing the <br />area within the regulatory floodplain, and other available technical data. <br />Page 113 of 147 <br />
