Within any floodway area, no encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, or other development shall be permitted unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment will not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. (Sec. 18-396(a)(1)a)
Special use permits and/or special exceptions shall only be issued after the board of supervisors or the board of zoning appeals has determined that the granting of such will not (1) result in unacceptable or prohibited increases in flood heights, (2) result in additional threats to public safety, (3) result in extraordinary public expense, (4) create nuisances, (5) cause fraud or victimization of the public, or (6) conflict with local laws or ordinances.
