improvements to the structure at 1303 Empire Road. The improvements will be <br />constructed to comply with the International Building Code (IBC) which will include <br />improvements and review to ensure that adequate anchoring is in place for flood <br />protection. <br />Staff finds this criterion has been met. <br />• 17.56.160 C. Fills or Deposits: <br />1. "Any fill or deposit of materials shall comply with subsection A of this section." <br />2. "The fill or deposit materials shall have some beneficial purpose (and the amount <br />shall not exceed what is needed during construction) " <br />3. "The fill or deposit of materials does not imprudently reduce the flood storage <br />capacity of the waterway ...." <br />5. The fill or other materials will be protected against erosion by riprap ...." <br />The applicant has not proposed to place any fill on the site at this time. Staff finds this <br />criterion is not applicable. <br />• 17.56.160 D. Storage of certain materials. The storage or processing of materials which <br />are buoyant, flammable, toxic, or explosive, or which in times of flooding could be <br />injurious to human, animal, or plant life shall be at or above the flood protection <br />elevation for the particular area, or shall be flood proofed in accordance with the <br />standards and practices specified in section 17.56.250. Solid waste disposal facilities, <br />such as junkyards or areas for dumping of refuse, shall also require review and approval <br />of the planning commission and city council. <br />The structure is elevated above the Base Flood Elevation as determined by Mr. Parker's <br />study and therefore, any materials stored in the building will also be elevated above the <br />base flood elevation. Outside storage has not been proposed at this time. <br />Staff finds this criterion has been met. <br />• 17.56.160 E. General standards. <br />1. Anchoring - All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to <br />prevent floatation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure and capable of <br />resisting the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads. <br />The substantial improvements to this structure will be constructed in conformance with <br />the IBC to ensure that flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure does not <br />take place. <br />2. Construction materials and methods. <br />a. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with <br />materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. <br />4 <br />
