SR-120208-7BCity Council Meeting: ®ecember 2, 2008
Agenda Item:
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Lee E. Swain, Director of Public Works
Subject: Floodplain Management Ordinance
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that Council introduce for first reading the attached ordinance adding
Floodplain Management Regulations to Article 7 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code.
Executive Summary
The City of Santa Monica participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Federal
regulations require the City tb have floodplain management regulations in place since a
Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone A) has been identified along the Pacific Ocean on the
new Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Anew
ordinance is required to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.
New or substantially improved structures located-along the coast line and within Zone A
will be subject to this ordinance. The proposed ordinance has no financial or budget
impacts.
Background
The U.S. Congress established the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) with the
passage of the .National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, a division of Federal Emergency Management. Agency
(FEMA), is responsible for managing the NFIP. The three components of the NFIP are:
flood insurance, floodplain management, and flood hazard mapping. Nearly 20,000
communities across the United States participate in the NFIP by adopting and enforcing
floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. In exchange, the
NFIP makes flood insurance available to properties in these communities. Community
participation in the NFIP is voluntary.
1
In order for City residents to be eligible to purchase the federally-subsidized flood
insurance, Cities must adopt and enforce a floodplain management regulation which
meets the requirement set forth in Title 44, part 60 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Failure to adopt and enforce regulations .will result in suspension from NFIP, causing
residents to lose renewal eligibility and creating barriers in obtaining new insurance
policies.
Discussion
The City of Santa Monica currently participates in NFIP. To meet and maintain eligibility
in NFIP, floodplain management regulations must be adopted. FEMA established a
deadline of September 26, 2008 for local agencies to adopt floodplain management
regulations. Since the City could not meet the established deadline, FEMA requested
that the City prohibit the issuance of building permits in the special flood hazard area
until floodplain management regulations are effective in order to maintain eligibility in
the NFIP. The Special Flood Hazard Area in the City of Santa Monica is identified on
the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (Attachments 2, 3 and 4) as Zone A. Staff from the
Departments of Public Works and Planning and Community Development forwarded a
letter to FEMA indicating that the City plans to adopt floodplain management regulations
and will prohibit the issuance of building permits in special flood hazard areas from
September 26, 2008 until the necessary regulations are in place (approximately January
2009).
The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) will add Floodplain Management Regulations to
the Municipal Code to establish development procedures and construction standards for
this Special Flood Hazard area. The ordinance designates the Director of the
Department of Public Works as the floodplain administrator. The floodplain
administrator is responsible for permit review, establishing. a base flood elevation,
determination of flood hazard boundaries, and notifications and reporting as required.
Zone A is defined an as area subject to inundation by the 1 % annual chance of flood.
The Special Flood Hazard Area as shown on the attached maps is located immediately
west of private property along the western edge of the City following the beach
2
recreation area boundary. Therefore, little if any private property will be affected by the
proposed ordinance. However, structures proposed in the beach recreation area will be
within the Special Flood Hazard Area and subject to the conditions of the ordinance.
In addition, the ordinance adopts a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report (which is
available for public review at the Public Works Department) and the Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRM). The FIRM identifies special flood hazard areas, other flood areas
and areas outside the floodplain. The majority of the City is designated to be outside of
the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. A portion of the City is considered in a flood area
designated as Zone X. Zone X is defined as areas of 0.2% annual chance flood; areas
of 1% annual chance flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage
areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 1% annual chance
flood.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There are no immediate budget actions from the adoption of the ordinance. However,
construction costs at the flood hazard areas might increase as a result of the adoption
of the ordinance though it is not clear how much it would be at the moment. Future
construction budgets will reflect the compliance of the flood zone ordinance.

sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as
to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage;
(g) Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is
in an area of special flood hazard; and.
(h) Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood
hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
7.68.020 Methods of Reducing Flood Losses.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this .Chapter includes
regulations to:

velocities;
(b) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities
which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the
time of initial construction;
(c) Control the alteration of natural floodplains stream
channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate
or channel floodwaters;
~d) Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development
which may increase flood damage;

10
fraud on or victimization of the public. In examining this
requirement, the City will consider the fact that every newly
constructed building adds to government responsibilities and
remains a part of the community for fifty to one-hundred years.
Buildings that are permitted to be constructed below the base flood
elevation are subject during all those years to increased risk of
damage from floods, while future owners of the property and the
community as a whole are subject to all the costs, inconvenience,
danger, and suffering that those increased flood damages bring. In
addition, future owners may purchase the property, unaware that it
is subject to potential flood damage, -and can be insured only at
very high flood insurance rates.
(bb) "Functionally dependent use" means a use which

be exceptional, unusual, and peculiar to the property involved.
Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional
Inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps,
personal preferences, or the disapproval of one's neighbors
likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as an exceptional hardship. All of
these problems can be resolved through other means without
granting a variance, even if the alternative is more expensive, or
requires the property owner to build elsewhere or put the parcel to
a different use than originally intended.

7.68.040 Lands To Which This Chapter Applies.
This Chapter shall apply to all special flood hazard areas
within the City.
7.68.050 Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood
Hazard.
The areas of special flood hazard identified by the. Federal
Emergency Management Agency. (FEMA) in the "Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) for Los Angeles County, California and incorporated
Areas" dated September 26, 2008, with accompanying Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM's) dated September 26, 2008, and all
subsequent amendments and/or revisions, are hereby adopted by
reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. This FIS and
attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this
ordinance and may be supplemented by studies for other areas
which allow implementation of this Chapter and which are
recommended to the'City by the Floodplain Administrator. The FIS
and FIRM's are on file with the City's. Public Works Department.
21
7.68.060 Compliance.
No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located,
extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the
terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations. Violation
of the requirements (including violations of conditions and
safeguards) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall
prevent the City from taking such lawful action as is necessaN to
prevent or remedy anV violation.
7.68.070 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions.
This Chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any
existing easements; covenants, or deed restrictions. However,
where this Chapter and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or
deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more
stringent restrictions shall prevail.
7.68.080 Interpretation.
In the interpretation and application of this Chapter, all
provisions shall be:
(a) Considered as minimum requirements;
(b) Liberally construed in favor of the City ;and
22
(c) Deemed neither to .limit nor repeal any other powers
granted under state statutes.
7.68.090 Warning and Disclaimer of Liability.
The degree of flood protection required. by this ordinance is
considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on
scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and
will occur oh rare occasions. Flood heights maV be increased by
man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that
land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted
within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This
ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City, any officer
or employee thereof, the State of California, or the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, for any flood damages that result
from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision
lawfully made hereunder.
7.68.100 Designation of the Floodplain Administrator.
The Director of the. Department of Public Works is hereby
appointed to administer, implement, and enforce this ordinance by
granting or denying development permits in accord with its
provisions.
23
7.68.110 Duties and Responsibilities of the Floodplain
Administrator.
The duties and responsibilities of the Floodplain Administrator
shall include, but not be limited to the following:
(a) Permit Review.
Review all floodplain development permits to determine:
(1) Permit requirements of this Chapter have been satisfied.
including determination of substantial- improvement and substantial
damage of existing structures;
(2) All other required state and federal permits have been
obtained;
(3) The site is reasonably safe from flooding;
(4) The proposed development does not adversely affect the
carrying capacity of areas where base flood elevations have been
determined but a floodwav has not been designated. This means
that the cumulative effect of the proposed development when
combined with all other existing and anticipated development will
not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more
than 1 foot at any point within the City: and
24
(5) All Letters of Map Revision (LOMR's) for flood control
projects are approved prior to the issuance of building permits.
Building Permits must not be issued based on Conditional Letters
of Map Revision (CLOMR's). Approved CLOMR's allow
construction of the proposed flood control project and land
preparation as specified in the "start of construction" definition.
(b) Development of Substantial Improvement and
Substantial Damage Procedures
(1) Using FEMA publication FEMA 213, "Answers to
Questions About Substantially bamaaed Buildings," develop
detailed procedures for identifying and administering requirements
for substantial improvement and substantial damage, to include
defining "Market Value."
(2) Assure procedures are coordinated with other
departments/divisions and implemented by community staff.
(c) Review, Use and Development of Other Base Flood
Data
When base flood elevation data has not been provided in
accordance with Section 7.68.050 the Floodplain Administrator
shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation
25
and floodway data available from a federal or state agency, or other
source, in order to administer Section 7.68.140.
NOTE: Abase flood elevation may be obtained using one of
two methods from the FEMA publication, FEMA 265, "Managing
Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone AAreas - A Guide
for Obtaining and Developing Base (100-year) Flood Elevations"
dated July 1995.
(d) Notification of Other Agencies
(1) Alteration or relocation of a watercourse:
fA) Notify .adjacent communities and the California
Department of Water Resources prior to alteration or relocation;
f 6) Submit evidence of such notification to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency; and
(C) Assure that the flood carrying capacity within the altered
or relocated portion of said watercourse is maintained.
(2) Base Flood Elevation changes due to physical
alterations:
(A) Within 6 months of information becoming available or
project completion, whichever comes first, .the floodplain
administrator shall submit or assure that the permit applicant.
26
submits technical or scientific data to FEMA for a Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR).
(B) All LOMR's for flood control projects are approved prior
to the issuance of building permits. Building Permits must not be
issued based on Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR's).
Approved CLOMR's allow construction of the proposed flood
control project and land preparation as specified in the "start of
construction" definition.
Such submissions are necessary so that upon confirmation of
those physical changes affecting flooding conditions, risk premium
rates and floodplain management requirements are based on
current data.
(3) Changes in corporate boundaries:
Notify FEMA in writing whenever -the corporate boundaries
have been modified by annexation or other means and include a
copy of a map of the community clearly delineating the new
corporate limits.

7.68.180 Floodways.
Since floodways are an extremely hazardous area due to the
velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and
erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
(a) Until a regulatory floodwav is adopted, no new
construction, substantial development, or other development
(including fill) shall be permitted within Zones Al-30 and AE, unless
it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed
development, when combined with all other development, will not
increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than 1
foot at any point within the City
(b) Within an adopted regulatory floodwav, the City shall
prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements, and other development, unless certification by a
registered civil engineer is provided demonstrating that the
proposed encroachment shall not result in any increase in flood
levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(c) If Section 7.68.170 is satisfied, all new construction,
substantial improvement, and other proposed. new development
shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction
provisions of Section 7.68:140.
39
7.68.190 Variance Procedure.
(a) Nature of Variances
The issuance of a variance is for floodplain management
purposes only. Insurance premium rates are determined by statute
according to actuarial risk and will not be modified by the granting
of a variance.
The variance criteria set forth in this section of the ordinance
are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances
pertain to a piece of property and ate not personal in nature. A
variance may be granted for a parcel of property with physical
characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of
this ordinance would create an exceptional hardship to the
applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics
must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent
parcels. The .unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself,
not to the structure, its inhabitants, or the property owners.
It is the- duty of the City to help p rotect its citizens from
flooding . This need is so comp elling and the implications of the
cost of insuring a structure built below flood level are so serious
that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements
in the flood ordinance are quite rare.- The long term goal of
40
preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if
variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines
provided in this ordinance are more detailed and contain multiple
provisions .that must be met before a variance can be properly
granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in
which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate.
(b) Conditions for Variances
(1) Generally variances may be issued for new construction,
substantial improvement, and other proposed new development 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
fhe base flood level providing .that. the procedures of Sections
7.68.120 and 7.68.130 have been fully considered. As the lot size
increases beyond one-half acre, the .technical justification required
for issuing the variance increases.
(2) Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of
"historic structures" (as defined in Section 7.68.030) upon a
determination that the proposed. repair or rehabilitation will not
preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic
structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve
the historic character and design of the structure.
41
(3) Variances shall not be issued within anv mapped
reaulatory floodwav if anv increase in flood levels durihg the base
flood discharge would result.
(4) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that
the variance is the "minimum necessary" considering the flood
hazard to afford relief. "Minimum necessary" means to afford relief
with a minimum of deviation from the reauirements of this
ordinance. For example in the case of variances to an elevation
requirement this means the City need not grant permission for the
applicant to build at grade, or even to whatever elevation the
applicant proposes, but ohly to that elevation which the City
believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the
local ordinance.
(5) "Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be
aiven written notice over the signature of a community official that:
(A) The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below
the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood
insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance
coverage, and.
(B) Such construction below the base flood level increases
risks to life and property. It is recommended that a copy of the
notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Administrator in the
42
Office of the Los Angeles County Recorder and shall be recorded in
a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected
parcel of land.
(6) The Floodplain Administrator will maintain a record of all
variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report
such variances issued in its biennial report submitted to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
(c) Appeal Board
(1) In passing upon requests for variances, the City shall
consider all technical .evaluations all relevant factors standards
specified in other sections of this ordinance. and the:
(A) Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to
the injury of others;
(B) Danger of life and propertv due to flooding or erosion
damage;
(C) Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to
flood damage and the effect of such damage on the existing
individual owner and future owners of the propertv;
43
(D) Importance of -the services provided by the proposed
facility to the community;
(E) Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where
applicable;
(F) Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use
which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
(G) Compatibility of the proposed -use with existing and
anticipated development;
(H) Relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive
plan and floodplain management program for that area;
(I) Safety of access- to the property in time of flood for
ordinary and emergency vehicles;
(J) Expected heights, velocity, duration rate of rise and
sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and
(K) Costs of providing governmental services during :and
after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public
utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water
system, and streets and bridges.
(2) Variances shall only be issued upon a:
(A) Showing of good and sufficient cause:
44
(B) Determination that failure to grant the variance would
result in exceptional "hardship" to the applicant; and
(C) Determination that the. granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety.
or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (see "Public
safety and nuisance"), cause "fraud and victimization" of the
public, or conflictwith existing local laws or ordinances.
(3) Variances may be issued for new construction,
substantial improvement, and other proposed new development
necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided
that the provisions of Section 7.68,190(c) is satisfied and that the
structure or other development is protected by methods that
minimize flood damages during the base flood and does not result
in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public
nuisance.
(4) Upon consideration of the factors of Section
7.68.190(b)(1) and the purposes of this Chapter, the City may
attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems
necessary to further the purposes of this. ordinance.
SECTION 2. Any. provisioh of the Santa Monica. Municipal Code or appendices
thereto inconsistent with the provisions of this .Ordinance, to the extent of such
45
inconsistencies and no further, is hereby repealed or modified to that extent necessary
to effect the provisions of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, .sentence, clause, or phrase of this
Ordinance is for any reason held. to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision. of any
court of competent jurisdiction,-such .decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would
have passed this Ordinance and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause,
or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion
of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage
of this Ordinance. The City. Clerk shall cause the same to be published once in the
official newspaper within 15 days after its adoption. This Ordinance shall become
effective 30 days from its adoption.
