1. Limitations on periods of use and operation;
2. Imposition of deed restrictions;

6. Additional flood proofing measures.
According to Ordinance 11-11-6, the evaluation of the effect of the
proposed use causing an increase in flood heights is based not just on
the effect of the single use acting alone, but upon the reasonable
assumption that other landowners within the floodplain shall be allowed
to develop to an equivalent extent within the floodplain. Therefore, the
cumulative effects of all such encroachments shall be considered by the
Council in making any decision.
Allowing additional development within the floodplain shall increase the
Base Flood Elevations in the area, but not more than the required I-foot
safety margin. No portion of the proposed development is within the
floodway.

freestanding signs are proposed with this application. If any are
