FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICT ORDINANCE
CITY OF SOUTHLAKE......... TEXAS
AN AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 161)
SECTION 1 - FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS: "FW!' - FLOODWAY DISTRICT AND "FP" -
FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT:
The regulations governing the use of land, buildings and structures, or as
set forth elsewhere in the City's Zoning Ordinance when referred to in this
section, are the regulations of the "FW - Floodway District" and "FP - Flood
Plain District." Both districts are by nature interrelated and therefore
combined in this section.
1.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT. It has been determined that within the City of
Southlake, Texas, there exist flood hazard areas which are subject to.
periodic inundation and which can result in loss of life and property,
cause disruption of commerce and governmental services and facilities,
induce extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief
and' ~airment of the tax base - all of which adversely affect the public
health, safety and general welfare. It has further been determined that
such losses in flood hazard areas are caused by the cumulative effect of
obstructions in floodways which increase flood heights and velocities and
the occupancy of flood plains by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous
to other inadequately elevated or otherwise unprotected uses from flood
damages.
It is the purpose and intent of this section, therefore, to promote and
safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare in minimizing
the aforedescribed losses by provisions designed to:
1.
r
a. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety
or property in times of flood or cause increased flood heights
or velocities;
b. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including P ublic facilities
which serve such uses, be provided with flood protection at the time
of initial construction or major expansions thereof;
t c. Protect individuals in the acquisition or development of lands
which are generally unsuited for certain purposes because of
potential flood hazard;
d Provide for the establishment of a comprehensive drainage plan
for the major watercourses, drainageways and greenbelts of the
City;
e. -Insure the perpetuity, conservation and protection of watercourses,
drainageways and greenbelts throughout the City as a natural.Pro-
tection against hazards and losses connected with flooding.
In order to achieve the aforedescribed purposes, two interrelated
districts are established: ."FW - Floodway District," which embraces
the channel of a watercourse, drainageway or greenbelt and adjacent
land areas on either side that are required to carry and discharge
the floodwater or flood flows with the regulatory flood - commonly
referred to as the "floodway," delineated by floodway encroachment
lines;" and the "FP - Flood Plain District," which delineates the
areas outside the floodway encroachment lines which are still subject
to inundation by the regulatory flood. These districts are superimposed
on the Zoning District Map and their provisions apply to all lands,
water areas and watercourses within the City, irrespective of the
2.
Zoning District classifications overlaid by the flood hazard districts.
The uses and special exceptions herein allowed in this section are the
uses of the "FW" and "FP" Districts to the extent they are not pro-
hibited by any other zoning district regulation or supplementary district
regulation of the zoning districts underlying said flood hazard district
boundaries.
1.2 METHODOLOGY AND REFERENCES USED TO ANALYZE AND DEFINE FLOOD HAZARDS
AND FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS. This ordinance uses a reasonable method
of analyzing flood hazards which are outlined as follows:
a. Selection of a regulatory flood which is based upon engineering
calculations which permit a consideration of such flood factors
as its expected frequency of occurrence, the area inundated and
the depth of inundation. The regulatory flood selected for this
ordinance is representative of large floods known to have occur-
red in this region and which are reasonably characteristic of
what can be expected to occur on the particular streams subject
to this ordinance. It is in'the general order of a flood which
could be expected to occur on the average of once every 100
t years (a one percent chance of occurring during any Year).
b. Calculation of water surface profiles based upon a hydraulic
engineering analysis of the capacity of the stream channel and
overbank areas to convey the regulatory flood;
c. Computation of the floodway required to convey this flood without
increasing flood heights more than one (1) foot above the regu-
latory flood to an extent which would cause substantial upstream
or downstream damage to existing or reasonably anticipated future
development;
3.
d. Delineation of floodway encroachment lines within which no addi-
tional obstruction is permitted which would cause damage or would
inhibit the discharge of flood flows;
e. Delineation of the flood plain, i.e., that area outside the flood-
way encroachment lines but which is still subject to inundation
by the regulatory flood;
f. The following Flood Plain Information Reports were used in the.
delineation of the Flood Hazard Districts and form the basis of
the "FW" and "FP" District boundaries. They are hereby attached
to and made a part.of the Zoning District Map and Zoning Ordinance
by reference, including any subsequent revisions or amendments
updating said information that may occur from time to time. Such
reports shall be kept on file in the office of the City Secretary
for public inspection:

3 APPLICATION, ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. No land, water, building or
structure shall hereafter be used and no building or structure shall be
located, extended, converted or undergo major structural alterations, 'nor
shall any building permit, fill permit or certificate of occupancy be issued,
nor shall any zoning district change or subdivision plat be approved
without full compliance with the terms and provisions of this 'section
and other applicable Zoning, Subdivision and Building Code Regulations.
The City Clerk, City Engineer and the Zoning Board of Adjustment,
when applicable, shall administer and enforce this section.In
administering this section, the City will coordinate its administra-tion
with affected neighboring jurisdictions, local, county, state and 'federal
agencies to assure compatibility of related flood control, open space
and flood plain management decisions and measures across juris-dictional
lines and conform with applicable laws, statutes and adminis-trative
rules and regulations at all governmental levels.1.
4DESIGNATION, DETERMINATION AND INTERPRETATION OF FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICT
BOUNDARIES. There shall be superimposed upon the Official Zoning
District Map, as an overlay, the "FW - Floodway" and "FP Flood
Plain" District boundary designations, as determined by the Flood
Plain Information Reports hereinabove described. The boundaries 'thereof
shall be determined by scaling distances on the Zoning District Map.
Where interpretation is required as to the exact location of the 'boundaries
of said districts then reference to the aforedescribed Flood ,
Plain Information Reports or other updated surveys and studies using
controlling floodwater surface and land elevation data therefrom, plus
interpretation and review by the City Engineer shall be made for more
exact determinations. However, where a conflict arises between a
mapped boundary and existing on-site field conditions, or due to more
current updated information supplied by the land owner or City, then
the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall make and rule on the necessary
interpretation.
While the regulatory flood protection elevation, for any point in
question or dispute, shall be the governing factor in locating"the
district boundary on the property in question, the land owner con-
testing any district boundary location shall be given an opportunity
to present his findings of fact to the Zoning Board of Adjustment
and submit his technical evidence, if so desired.
In any interpretation and application, the provisions of this section
shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed
in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or
repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes.
Determinations of "FW" and "FP" District boundaries shall be made in
conformance with either or all of the following methods:
a. By a comprehensive engineering watershed study, using technical
and professionally acceptable hydrological and hydraulic criteria
and procedures, of all or a part of the land embraced within the
City's corporate limits and areas of extraterritorial jurisdic-
tion;
6.
b. By the owner's registered engineer when a subdivision plat and/or
zoning district change embracing residential, commercial or indus-
trial development is prepared for submission and approval by the
City or when a request for a building permit or fill permit is
made to the City by the Owner. The methodology used in such deter-
mination shall be the same as in paragraph a. above.
FW" and "FP" district boundary lines shall correspond to the following:
1. The "FW - Floodway" district shall be bounded by the floodway
encroachment lines as shown on the zoning map, by scaling distances
therefrom. On the ground said boundaries shall be located by meas-
uring distances perpendicular to the.floodway centerline. A reg-
istered land surveyor's or engineer's description of the alignment
of said centerline and limits of the floodway shall be attached by
reference to, and made a part of, the Official Zoning District Map,
and to any subdivision plat prepared, as such centerlines and flood-
way limits are ascertained. In no case shall the boundaries of any
FW" District extend beyond the outer boundary of the "FP" District;
2. The outer "FP - Flood Plain" District boundaries shall correspond
to, and be the same as, the regulatory flood elevation existing at
the time of passage of this section or future amendments thereto.
This elevation is further defined as being the 100-year (or one
percent chance of occurring during any year) floodwater surface
elevation, and/or one (1) foot below the lowest minimum floor.ele-
vation of a permitted building or structure, i.e., that elevation
to which uses regulated by this section are required to be elevated
or floodproofed. Said minimum floor elevation shall be the govern-
ing factor in locating the outer area boundary of the "FP" 'District,
whereas the inner boundary shall correspond with the boundary of
the "FW" District.
3. In cases where the floodway encroachment lines which govern the
limits of the "FW" District have not been delineated, the land area
below the minimum floor elevation shall be designated as the floodway
elevation until said encroachment lines can be determined.
1.5 "FW - FLOODWAY DISTRICT" USE REGULATIONS. The regulations set forth
herein are the regulations of the "FW - Floodway District."
1.5.1 Permitted Principal Uses. The following open space uses shall be

1.7 SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICTS. The following
special provisions apply to all lands and water areas within the "FW" and "
FP"flood hazard
districts:1..7.1 Easements and Dedications. Maintenance and access
easements, or dedications, for waterways, drainageways, greenbelts
and the like shall be required so as to insure maintainability,
and access to flood hazard areas. Likewise, easements or
land dedications along either or both sides of waterways,
drainageways, greenbelts,etc. for open space developments in conformance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance shall be
encouraged. Any such easements and/or land dedications shall meet
the following
minimum
i
a. All and within the waterway which lies between the controlling
banks of waterways or drainageways shall be dedicated to the
I
City so as to allow the proper protection and preservation
thereof to insure unrestricted water drainage and flowage.
b. Additional easements or dedications of land along and to
the waterways and drainageways, where required, shall meet
the following requirements:
1) A maintenance easement, with a minimum width of fifty (50)
feet, shall be conveyed to the City on each side of the
i
required dedicated area indicated in paragraph a. above.
Land dedication may be substituted in lieu of an easement
at the Owner's option.
2) An o en s ace easement or dedication with a total width of
200 feet along major creeks, watercourses and drainageways
i`
and 150 feet along minor drainageways, exclusive of the
area dedicated in paragraph a. above, shall also be encour-
aged. Said easement or dedication may be coincidental
with the maintenance easement described in paragraph b:l)
j above and may be located entirely on one side of the,
dedicated land described in paragraph a. or divided
I
equally between two sides. When such dedications or ease-
ments are provided, the provisions of subsection 1.7.
2
I may be
applied.3) Access easements of not less than 40 feet in width
shall be required from adjacent public use areas and/or
public streets at horizontal intervals of not less than 500
feet,for access to maintenanceand/or open space easements
or
dedications described in paragraphs b.l) and 2) above,I
so as to provide sufficient ingress and egress of trucks
V and equipment for maintaining flood hazard areas, and for
public access to any public park or open space use created
or maintained. Land dedication may be substituted in lieu,
of an easement at the Owner's option.
4) Reasonable variations and modifications of the above
requirements may be allowed by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment upon written recommendations and concurrence
by the City Engineer and City Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion (or other designated board or commission such as a
Parks and Recreation Board) when it can be determined that
lesser or greater easement widths or dedications than
herein required would be sufficient to achieve the intended
purposes of both the Flood Hazard Zoning Districts and that
of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
c. Timing of conveyance of required easements or land dedications
for maintenance, access, and/or open space purposes may be
made by the land owner at any time and consummated upon approval
and acceptance by the City; however, no building permits, certi-
ficates of occupancy or fill permits shall be issued nor shall
final approval of any change in zoning classification be made,
nor shall any plat revision or final plat approval be given
until any required easements or land dedications are made by
the land owner in conformance with this section.
1.7.2 Density and Floor Area Ratio Bonuses; and Computation of Open
Space.Land within the Flood Hazard Districts either conveyed as an
easement
or dedicated to the City by the owner, in accordance with this
section, may be counted as open space for computing density and/or
open space requirements with regard to the City's Zoning Ordinance.
Density and floor area ratio bonuses may be granted by the City's
Planning and Zoning Commission to the land owner when such ease-
ments and/or dedications are made. The extent of such bonuses
shall be dependent upon the nature and amount of land granted by
easements or dedications and the type of development proposed.
However, in no case shall the density bonus be less than the density
of development recommended by the City's Comprehensive Plan if
development were to take place without such required easements,
or open space dedications.
1.7.3 Fill. An application requesting any fill material proposed to
be deposited or placed within the Flood Hazard Districts must
first be submitted to the City Engineer for review and
recommendation prior to the consideration of and issuance of a fill permit
by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Prior to the issuance of
such permit the proposed fill must be shown by the owner to have
some beneficial purpose and the amount thereof shall not be
greater than is necessary to achieve such stated purpose, as
demonstrated by a plan drawn to scale of not less thanV=1001, along with
a sufficiently detailed narrative describing the type,
quantity,compaction and dimensions of the fill material - including
the uses to which the fill material will be put. Such fill or
other materials shall be adequately protected against erosion or
slippage by either riprap, bulkheading and/or vegetative cover,
whichever 7 is approved as being the most reasonable and adequate
method by the
City

for roads and levees, deposit, obstruction, storage of materials
or equipment, or other uses shall be permitted which, acting
alone or in combination with existing or future uses, unduly
affects the efficiency or the capacity of the floodway or
unduly increases flood heights above the minimum building
elevation. Consideration of the effects of a proposed use
shall be based on a reasonable assumption that there will be
an equal degree of encroachment extending for a significant
reach on both sides of the stream, waterway, drainage way or
greenbelt.
