is determining if the site is within a floodplain or floodway. If so, no =
permit can be issued until a Conditional Use permit is applied for and =
granted. Even then, the house must be raised above Base Flood Elevation.

a "500-year" floodplain on the other (east) side of N. Polk; these are =
identified, but not regulated.
