17.56.060 Flood regulatory district. The flood regulatory district is determined by computing the one hundred-year floodplain limits under existing channel and floodplain conditions. 17.56.070 "Establishment of official maps." The location and boundaries of areas within the flood regulatory district are identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled, "The Flood Insurance Study for Louisville," dated January 1, 1973, with an accompanying flood insurance rate map (FIRM) as adopted and amended from time to time, which is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. Copies of the official map are kept on file with the city engineer, the planning department and the city clerk. The boundary lines on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the map. Where there is a conflict between the boundary lines illustrated on the map and actual field conditions, the dispute shall be settled according to section 17.56.190. 17.56.080 Reserved. 17.56.090 Applicability and effect of provisions. The regulations set forth in this chapter for the flood regulatory district shall apply to those lands within the one hundred-year floodplain which are mapped and designated on the official map. The regulations of this chapter shall be construed as being supplementary to the regulations imposed on the same lands by any underlying zoning category. This chapter supersedes zoning provisions relating to floodplains. Any underlying zoning district regulations shall remain in full force and effect to the extent that its provisions are more restrictive. 17.56.100 Interpretation. In the board of adjustment's interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements, shall be liberally construed in favor of the city, and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the Colorado statutes. 10
