ORDINANCE NO. 2426
FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION
ARTICLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.60.010 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION. The Legislature of the State of California
has in Government Code Section; 65302, 55560 and 65800 conferred upon local
government units authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public
health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. THEREFORE, THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LODI DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOLJS:
15.60.020 FINDINGS OF FACT
A. The flood hazard areas of City of Lodi are subject to periodic
inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and
safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief ,
and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the
public health, safety and general welfare.
B. These ilood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of
obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase
flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored,
damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately
floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage
also contribute to the flood loss.
15.60.030 STATEMENT OF PURPCSE. It i s 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:
A. To protect human life and health;
B. To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control
projects.
C. To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with
flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general
public;
D. To minimize prolonged business interruptions;
E. To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as
water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets
and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; -
F. To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the second use
and,:development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize
ti...:
future flood blight areas;
G. To insure that potential buyers are notified that property i s in
in area of special flood hazard; and
N. To insure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard
assume responsibility for their actions.
i5.60.040 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES. In order to accomplish its
purposes, this ordinance includes methods and provisions for:
A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health,
safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which
result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or
velocities;
B. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities
which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the
time of initial ccnstruction;
C. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream
channels, and natural protective barriers , which help accommodate
or channel flood waters;
D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development
which may increase flood damage; and,
E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which
will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood
hazards in other areas.

administration of this ordinance.
C. In passing upon such applications. the City Council shall consider
all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards
specified in other sections of this ordinance, and:
Vs
2. the danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion
damage;
3. the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents
to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the
individual owner;
4. the importance of the services provided by the proposed
facility to the community;
5. the necessity to the facility of a waterfront
location, where applicable;
6. the availsbility of alternative locations for the
proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion
damage;
7. the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and
anticipated development ;
8. the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan c
and floodplain management program fore that area;
9. the safety of access to the property in tine of flood for
ordinary and emergency vehicles;
10. the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and
sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site;
ana,
11. the costs of providing governmental services during and after
flood conditions, including maintenance and repair o.F public
utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and
water system, and streets and bridges.
D. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and
substantial fiaprovements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre
or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
structures constructed below the base flood level, providing the
provisions of Subsection C of this section have been fully
considered. As the 1 o t size increases beyond one-half acre, the
technical justification required for issuing the variance
increases.
E. Upon consideration of the factors of Subsection C of this section
and the purposes of this ordinance, the City Council my attach
such conditions to the granting of variances as -it deems necessary
to further the purposes of this ordinance.
5.60.200 CONDITIONS FOR VARIANCES

result.
C. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the
variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood ' azard,
to afford relief.
D. Variances shall only be issued upon:
I. a showing of good and sufficient cause;
2. a determination that failure to grant the variance would
result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; a,id
3. a determination that the granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, additional threats to
public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud on or victimization of, the public, or conflict
with existing local laws or ordinances.

improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct
of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of
Sections 15.60.190(C) are satisfied and that the structure or
other development is protected by methods that minimize flood
damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to
public safety.
F. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written
notice that thf structure grill be permitted to be built with a
lowest flood elevation below the regulatory flood elevation and
that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the
increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest flood elevation.
A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodpla-in Board in
the office of the San Joaquin County Recorder- and shall be
recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of
