The “F – P” Floodplain District is intended for application in those areas of the community which have been defined as subject to inundation from surplus storm water as defined by the Flood Insurance Study and accompanying Floodway Map and any subsequent additions or amendments thereto, prepared for the City of Frontenac, Kansas, by the Federal Insurance Administration. This zone is intended for application throughout the Frontenac Zoning Jurisdiction in locations where official floodplain delineation has been established. The regulations are intended to minimize the extent of floods and reduce the height and violence thereof; to minimize the hazard of loss of lives and property caused by floods; and to secure safety from floods through the confinement of floods within reasonable limits by regulating and restricting areas of development along or in natural water courses and drainageways.

In the “F – P” District, no building or land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected, altered, or enlarged which is arranged or designed for other than one of the permitted uses in the parent district, to which this district is made a part, provided that such uses and structures meet the minimum requirements of SECTION 3 of these Zoning Regulations.

Notwithstanding the requirements of the parent district, the other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance, and the detailed regulations present in City Ordinance No. and any amendments thereto, the following regulations shall supplement the regulations of the parent district, of which this district is made a part. These regulations shall supersede those of the parent district where there is a conflict among regulations.

1.    Where by reason of flooding potential, and where the special flood studies and map indicate the possibility of detrimental or limiting conditions for development, no person, firm, or corporation shall initiate any development or substantial improvement, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate permit for development for each such building or structure in accordance with the detailed requirements of City Ordinance No. 2009-02 and any amendments thereto. The application for a development permit shall be prepared in writing upon forms furnished for that purpose and shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk. The application shall be accompanied by explanatory background information as required by Ordinance No. 2009-02 and any amendments thereto, which shall include as a minimum:

a.    Identification and description of the work to be covered by the permit.

b.    Description of the land on which the proposed work is to be done by lot, block, tract, and house and street address or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed building or work.

d.    Provision of plans and specifications for proposed construction.

e.    Signature of the permittee or his authorized agent who may be required to submit evidence to indicate such authority.

f.     Provision of other information as reasonably may be required by the Building Inspector.

2.    In areas within the Frontenac Zoning Jurisdiction which are designated as “F – P” Floodplain, all developed uses of land and buildings shall meet the minimum standards and requirements for development within flood hazard areas as outlined and defined by Ordinance No. 2009-02 and any amendments thereto.
