FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION
Sec. 624.01 Article 1, Statutory
Authorization, Findings of Fact, Purpose
and Objectives.
(A) Statutory Authorization. The
Legislature of the State of Florida,
has in Section 166.021, Florida Statutes,
delegated the responsibility to local
government units to adopt regulation
designed to promote the public health,
safety, and general welfare of its
citizenry. Therefore, the City Council
of Cape Canaveral, Florida, does ordain
as follows:
(B) Findings of Fact.
(1) The flood hazard areas of
Corporate Limits, City of Cape
Canaveral, are subject to
periodic inundation which
results in loss of life,
property, health and safety
hazards, disruption of comm-
erce and governmental services.,
extraordinary public expen-
ditures for flood protection
and relief, and impairment
of the tax base, all of which
adversely affect the public
health, safety and general
welfare.
(2) These flood losses are caused
by the cumulative effect of
§ 624.01 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION § 624.01
obstructions in flood plains
causing increases in flood
heights and velocities, and by
the occupancy in flood hazard
areas by uses vulnerable to
floods or hazardous to other
lands which are inadequately
elevated, flood -proofed, or
otherwise protected from flood
damages.
(C) Statement of Purpose. It is the
purpose of this ordinance to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare
and to minimize public and private losses
due to flood conditions in specific areas
by provisions designed to:
(1) restrict or prohibit uses which
are dangerous to health, safety
and property due to water or
erosion or in flood heights or
velocities;
(2) require that uses vulnerable to
floods, including facilities
which serve such uses, be protec-
ted against flood damage at the
time of initial construction;
(3) Control the alteration of natural
flood plains, stream channels, and
natural protective barriers which
are involved in the accommodation
of flood waters;
(4) control..filling, grading, dredging
and other development which may
increase erosion or flood damage;
and,
(5) prevent or regulate the construc-
tion of flood barriers which will
unnaturally divert flood waters
or which may increase flood hazards
to other lands.
§ 624
.01 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION § 624.02
(D) Objectives. The objectives of this
ordinance are:
(1) to protect human life and health;

money for costly flood control
projects;
(3) to minimize the•need for rescue
and relief efforts associated
with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of
the general public;
(4) to minimize prolonged business
interruptions;
(5) to minimize damage to public
facilities and utilities such as
water and gas mains, electric,
telephone and sewer lines, streets
andbridges located in flood
plains;
(6) to help maintain a stable tax
base by providing for the sound
use anddevelopment of flood
prone areas in such a manner as
to minimize future flood blight
areas; and,
(7) to insure that potential home
buyers are notified that proper-
ty is in a flood area. (Ord.
No. 5-78 § 1, 2 May 1978).

conflict with existing local
laws or ordinances.
(c) Any applicant to whom a vari-
ance is granted shall be given
written notice specifying the
difference between the base
flood elevation and the ele-
vation to which the structure
is to be built and stating
that the cost of flood insur-

utilities and pads equals or exceeds
fifty percent of value of the
streets, utilities and pads before
the repair, reconstruction or im-
provement has commenced; and, for
mobile homes not placed in a mobile
home park or subdivision require:
(i) stands or lots are elevated on
compacted fill or on pilings
so that the lowest floor of
the mobile home will be at or
above the base flood level;
(ii) adequate surface drainage and

§ 624:05 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION § 624.05
(4) Coastal High Hazard Areas
(V Zones) - Located within the
areas of special flood hazard
established in 624.03 B, are
areas designated as Coastal High
Hazard Areas. These areas have
special flood hazards associated
with high velocity waters from
tidal surge and hurricane wave
wash, therefore, the following
provisions shall apply:
(a) All buildings or structures
shall be located landward
of the reach of the mean
high tide dunes line and
coastal construction set
back line.
(b) All buildings or structures
shall be elevated so that
the lowest supporting mem-
ber is located no lower
than the base flood eleva-
tion level, with all space
below the lowest supporting
member open so as not to
impede the flow of water,
except for breakaway walls
as provided for in 624.05
B (5) (h).
(c) All buildings or structures
shall be securely anchored
on pilings or columns.
(d) Pilings or columns used as

§ 624.05 FICOD DAMAGE PREVENTION § 624.05
(e) Compliance with provisions
contained in 624.05 B (5) (b),
(c) and (d) shall be certified
to by a registered professional

(g) There shall be no alteration
of sand dunes or mangrove
stands which would increase
potential flood damage.
(h) Breakaway walls shall be
allowed below the base flood
elevation provided they are
not part of the structural
support. of the building and
are designed so as to break-
away, under abnormally high
tides or wave action, without
damage to the structural
integrity of the building on
which they are to be used and
provided the following design
specifications are met:
(1) Per certified engineering
design.
NOTE: Specifications for breakaway
walls should be determined in con-
sultation with local engineers and
architects based on local condi-
tions. Standard practice is to
use a loading of twenty to thirty
pounds per square foot (P.S.F.) as
wind load on a vertical panel fac-
ing directly into the wind. This
load would correspond to a wind
speed of about 100 miles per hour
and should be the minimum load
§ 624.05 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION § 624.05
which would cause the panels to
break away. The maximum loading
which would not cause failure to
the superstructure is more diffi—
cult to determine but is probab—
ly about 50 to 75 pounds p.s.f.
Designation of this limit should
be based on such factors as
material, cross—section, and
spacing of pilings or columns
upon which the structure sits,
the elevation above the ground,
and other assumed loadings on
the structure.
(i) If breakaway walls are
utilized, such enclosed
space shall not be used
for human habitation.
(j) Prior to construction, plans
for any structure that will
have breakaway walls must
be submitted to the Build—
ing Official for approval.
(k) Prohibit the placement of
mobile homes, except in an
existing mobile home park
or existing mobile home sub—
division.
(1) Any alteration, repair, re—
construction or improvement
to a structure started
after the enactment of this
ordinance shall not enclose
the space below the lowest
floor unless breakaway walls
are used as provided for in
624.05 B (5), (h) and (i).
(Ord. No. 5-78 § 5, 2 May
1978).

be consistent with the need to
minimize flood damage.
. (2) All sibdivision proposals shall
- have public utilities and facili—
ties such as sewer, gas, electri-
cal and water systems located and
constructed to minimize flood
damage.
(3) All subdivision proposals shall
have adequate drainage provided
to reduce exposure to flood
hazards.
(4) Base flood elevation data shall be
provided for subdivision proposals
and other proposed development
which is greater than the lesser of
fifty lots or five acres. (Ord.
