AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ARTICLE
17-1/2, TITLE 13 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL
CODE TO UPDATE THE FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP
REFERENCE.
The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa does hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa hereby
finds and declares as follows:
(A) That the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
reviewed the City's Flood plain Ordinance and found that the
reference to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) was outdated.
(B) That the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) criteria
require that the City revise its Floodplain Ordinance to continue
eligibility for participation in NFIP.
Accordingly, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa
herewith amends Article 17-1/2, Title 13 as hereafter set forth.
SECTION 2: Amend Section 13-257 to reference the most current
FIRM as follows:
SECTION 13-257. APPLICATION.
In any base district where the district symbol is followed by,
as a part of such symbol, the parenthetically enclosed symbols (FP -
1
1) or (FP -2), or when the property is included within a designated
flood hazard area shown on the adopted Orange County (county -wide)
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) dated September 15, 1989, or a
subsequent FIRM, or flood boundary and floodway maps as published
by the Federal Insurance Administration, the additional
requirements, limitations and standards contained in this article
shall apply. The land use district symbol shall constitute the
"base district" and the symbol (FP -1), (FP -2), or those flood
hazard zone designations on the flood insurance rate map as listed
below, shall constitute the "combining district". In the event of
conflicting provisions of such combined district regulations, the
requirements of the FP floodplain district shall take precedence
over the requirements of the base district.
(3) Adoption of flood insurance rate maps and flood boundary
and floodway maps as zoning district maps. The Orange County
(county -wide) FIRM dated September 15, 1989, or a subsequent FIRM
and flood boundary and floodway maps prepared in conjunction with
the flood insurance rate map as published by the Federal Insurance
Administration are hereby adopted as zoning district maps of the
City of Costa Mesa for purposes of application of the FP floodplain
district regulations only.
SECTION 3.
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force thirty
(30) days from and after the passage thereof, and prior to the
expiration of fifteen (15) days from its passage shall be published
2
once in the ORANGE COAST DAILY PILOT, a newspaper of general
