60.3(d) Revised as of October 1, 1989
FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE
ARTICLE 1
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND METHODS
SECTION A. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
The Legislature of the State of Texas has in V.T.C.A. Texas Wafer Code. Sec. 16311 et sea
delegated the responsibility of local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to
minimize flood losses. Therefore, the Commissioners' Court of Brazos CounW, Texas,
does ordain as follows:
SECTION B. FINDINGS OF FACT
(1) The flood hazard areas of Brazos County are subject to periodic inundation
which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of
commerce and governmental services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood
protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general
welfare.
(2) These flood loses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in
floodplains which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy
of flood hazards areas by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands
because they are Inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood
damage.
SECTION C. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is 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 to:
.11-
V01- y PAGE-JL::
. , r
(1) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas
mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in floodplains;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of flood-prone areas in such a manner as to minimize future flood blight
areas; and
(7) Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
SECTION D. (METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES
In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance uses the following methods:
(1) Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in
times of flood, or cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such
uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) -Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural
protective barriers, which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase
flood damage;
(5) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally
divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.

"new construction" means structures for which the "start of construction" commenced on
or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a community
and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures.
NEW MANUFACTURED HOME PARK OR SUBDIVISION - means a manufactured home
park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which
the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including at a minimum, the installation of
utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete
pads) is completed on or after the effective date of floodplain management regulations
adopted by a community.
RECREATIONALVEHICLE - means a vehicle which is (i) built on a single chassis; (ii) 400
square feet or less when measured at the largest horizontal projections; (iii) designed to
be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and (iv) designed primarily
not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational,
camping, travel, or seasonal use.
START OF CONSTRUCTION - (for other than new construction or substantial
improvements under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (Pub. L. 97-348)), includes
substantial improvement and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the
actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or
other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either
the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring
of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work
beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a
foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing,
-7-
1-11,N,
grading and filling; nor does it include the Installation of streets and/or walkways; nor
does it Include excavation for basement, footings, piers or foundations or the erection of
temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory
buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the
main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the
first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or
not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
STRUCTURE - means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage
tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE - means damage of any origin sustained by a structure
whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its condition before damage would equal
or or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT - means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or
other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the
market value of the structure before "start of construction" of the improvement. This
includes structures which have Incurred "substantial damage", regardless of the actual
repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either. (1) Any project for
improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local health, sanitary,
or safety code specifications which have been Identified by the local code enforcement
official and which are the minimum necessary conditions or (2) Any alteration of a
"historic structure ; provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued
designation as a "historic structure."
VARIANCE - Is a grant of relief to a person from the requirement of this ordinance when
specific enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship. A variance, therefore, permits
construction or development In a manner otherwise prohibited by this ordinance. (For full
requirements see Section 60.6 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.)
VIOLATION - means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant
with the community's floodplain management elevation certificate, other certifications, or
other evidence of compliance required In Section 60.3(b) (5), (c)(4), (c)(10), (d) (3), (3) (2),
(e)(4), or (e)(5) is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is
provided.
WATER SURFACE ELEVATION - means the height, in relation to the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum (MGVD) of 1929 (or other datum, where specified), of floods of various
magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal or riverine areas.

ordinance.
(6) Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements
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 relevant
factors in Section C(2) of this Article have been fully considered. As the lot size increases
beyond the one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance
increases.
(7) Upon consideration of the factors noted above and the intent .of this
ordinance, the Appeal Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as
it deems necessary to further the purpose and objectives of this ordinance (Article 1,
Section C).
(8) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase
in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

a. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance
is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
b. Variances shall only be issued upon (I) showing a good and sufficient
cause; (ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant, and (iii) 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
-14-

existing local laws or ordinances.
C. Any application to whom a variance is granted shall be given written
notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with the lowest floor elevation below
the base flood elevation, and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with
the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
(11) Variances may be issued by a community for new construction and
substantial improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a
functionally dependent use provided that (i) the criteria outlined in Article 4, Section D(1)-
(9) are met, and (ii) 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.

ARTICLE 5
PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION
SECTION A. GENERAL STANDARDS
In all areas of special flood hazards the following provisions are required for all new
construction and substantial improvements.
(1) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be designed (or
modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of
the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of
buoyancy;
(2) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed by
methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
(3) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with
materials resistant to flood damage;
(4) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with
electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service
facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or
accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding;
(5) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to
minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system;
(6) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to
minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharge from the
systems into flood waters; and,
(7) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them
or contamination from them during flooding.
SECTION B. SPECIFIC STANDARDS
In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided
as set forth in (i) Article 3, Section B, (ii) Article 4, Section B(8), or (iii) Article 5, Section
C(3), the following provisions are required:
.16-
(1) Residential Construction - new construction and substantial improvement
of any residential structure shall have the lowest floor (including basement), elevated to
or above the base flood elevation. A registered professional engineer, architect, or land
surveyor shall submit a certification to the Floodplain Administrator that the standard of
this subsection as proposed in Article 4, Section C(1)a., is satisfied.
(2) Nonresidential Construction - new construction and substantial
improvements of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall either
have the lowest flood (including basement) elevated to or above the base flood level or
together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be designed so that below the base
flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage
of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and
hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy. A registered professional engineer or
architect shall develop and/or review structural design, specifications, and plans for the
construction, and shall certify that the design and methods of construction are in
accordance with accepted standards of practice as outlined in this subsection. A record
of such certification which includes the specific elevation (in relation to mean sea level)
to which such structures are floodproofed shall be maintained by the Floodplain
Administrator.
(3) Enclosures - new construction and substantial improvements, with fully
enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are usable solely for parking of vehicles,
building access or storage in an area other than a basement and which are subject to
flooding shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior
walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this
requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or
meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
a. A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than
one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be
provided.
grade.
b. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above
c. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other
coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
(4) Manufactured Homes -
a. Require that all manufactured homes be placed within Zone A on a
community's FHBM or FIRM shall be installed using methods and practices which
minimize flood damage. For the purposes of this requirement, manufactured homes must
be elevated and anchored to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. Methods of
-17-
VOL, Z PAGE--L?,-
anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground
anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable State and local anchoring
requirements for resisting wind forces.
b. Require that manufactured homes that are placed or substantially
improved within Zones A1-30, AH, and AE on the community's FIRM on sites (i) outside
of a manufactured home park of subdivision, (ii) in a new manufactured home park or
subdivision, (iii) in an expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision,
or (iv) in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision on which a manufactured
home has incurred 'substantial damage' as a result of a flood, be elevated on a
permanent foundation such that the lowest floor of the manufactured home is elevated
to or above the base flood elevation and be securely anchored to an adequately
anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.
C. Require that manufactured homes be placed or substantially improved
on sites in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision with Zones Al-30, AH and
AE on the community's FIRM that are not subject to the provisions of paragraph (4) of
this section be elevated so that either:
(i) the lowest floor of the manufactured home is at or above the
base flood elevation, or
(ii) the manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced
piers or other foundation elements of at least equivalent strength that are no less than 36
inches in height above grade and be securely anchored to an adequately anchored
foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.
(5) Recreational Vehicles - Require that recreational vehicles placed on sites
within Zone$ Al-30, AH, and AE on the community's FIRM either (i) be on the site for
fewer than 180 consecutive days, (ii) be fully licensed and ready for highway use, or (iii)
meet the permit requirements of Article 4, Section C(1), and the elevation and anchoring
requirements for 'manufactured homes' in paragraph (4) of this section. A recreational
vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking system, is attached to the
site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently
attached additions.
SECTION C. STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISION PROPOSALS
(1) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home ~
parks and subdivisions shall be consistent with Article 1, Sections B, C, and D of this
ordinance.
(2) All proposals for the development of subdivisions including the placement
of manufactured home parks and subdivisions shall meet Development Permit
-18-
VOL -z -PAGE-/-3K

requirements of Article 3, Section C; Article 4, Section C; and the provisions of Article 5
of this ordinance.
Y
(3) Base flood elevation data shall be generated for subdivision proposals and
other proposed developments including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions which is greater than 50 lots or 5 acres, whichever is lesser, if not otherwise
provided pursuant to Article 3, Section B or Article 4, Section B(8) of this ordinance.
(4) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home
parks and subdivisions shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to
flood hazards.
(5) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home
parks and subdivisions shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas,
electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood
damage.
SECTION D. STAND
Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, Section B, are
areas designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated
with base flood depths of 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and
where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow may be evident. Such
flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow; therefore, the following provisions
apply:
(1) All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures
have the lowest flood (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade at
least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the community's FIRM (at least two
feet if no depth number is specified).
(2) All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential
structures;
(i) have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest
adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the community's
FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified), or;
(i i) together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be designed so
that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially
impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the
capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads of effects of buoyancy.
-1&
(3) A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification to
the Floodplain Administrator that the standards of this Section, as proposed in Article 4,
Section C(1)a., are satisfied.
(4) Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures
on slopes, to guide flood waters around and away from proposed structures.
SECTION E. FLOODWAYS
Floodways - located within areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, Section
B, are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous
area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles and
erosion potential, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway uhless it
has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in
accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would
not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of
the base flood discharge.
(2) If Article 5, Section E(1) above is satisfied, all new construction and
substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction
provisions of Article 5.
(3) Under the provisions of 44 CFT Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National
Flood Insurance Regulations, a community may permit encroachments within the adopted
regulatory floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations, provided
floodway revision through FEMA.
