Prevention Code of the Corpus Christi Code to update certain provisions to
comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements
and the updated Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM); Providing for a penalty
not to exceed $500 and publication.
WHEREAS, the Insurance Service Office ("ISO") on behalf of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency ("FEMA") recently completed an audit of the City of Corpus Christi's
flood plain areas and the City's Flood Hazard Prevention Code;
WHEREAS, ISO and FEMA made some recommendations for changes to the City's
Flood Hazard Prevention Code which the City wishes to adopt through this Ordinance;
WHEREAS, by adopting the ISO/FEMA recommended changes to the City's Rood Hazard
Prevention Code the City will minimize public and private losses due to changing flood
conditions in areas of special flood hazard and improve the public health, safety and welfare
of its citizens;
WHEREAS, the City is a participant in a voluntary program of the National Flood
Insurance Program called the Community Rating System. This program awards points
for going above and beyond the minimum standards of a participating community; and
WHEREAS, adopting higher flood hazard prevention standards provides additional points
to the City that can help reduce flood insurance premiums for flood insurance policies in
Special Flood Hazard Areas in the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI THAT:
SECTION 1. That Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances, Chapter 14 "Development
Services", Article V " Flood Hazard Prevention Code" is hereby amended by adding the
following language that is underlined (added) and deleting the language that is stricken
(deleted) as delineated below:
"ARTICLE V. - FLOOD HAZARD PREVENTION CODE
DIVISION 1. - FINDINGS OF FACT AND PURPOSES
Sec. 14-501. - Findings of fact.
(a) The flood hazard areas of the city 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.
(b) These flood losses 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, flood -proofed, or otherwise
protected from flood damage.
'032 888
SCANNED
Sec. 14-502. - Statement of purpose.
It is the purpose of this flood hazard prevention code (the code) 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:
(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) Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
Sec. 14-503. - Methods of reducing flood losses.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this code 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 floodwaters
(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
floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.

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 before damaged condition would equal or exceed fifty (50)
per cent 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 fifty (50) per cent 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 article. (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 city's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without
the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in
section 60.3(b)(5), (c)(4), (c)(10), (d)(3), (e)(2), or (e)(5) [of the National Flood Insurance
Program regulations] is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation
is provided

permit upon determination by the floodplain administrator that the
construction, erection, alteration or repairs of the structure for which the
permit was issued is in violation of, or not in conformity with, the provisions
of this code.
Sec. 14-544. - Variance procedures.
(a) The construction trade advisory & appeals board hears and renders judgement on
requests for variances from the requirements of this code.
(b) The construction trade advisory & appeals board hears and renders judgement on
an appeal only when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or
determination made by the floodplain administrator in the enforcement or
administration of this code.
(c) Any person or persons aggrieved by the decision of the construction trade advisory
& appeals board may appeal such decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) The floodplain administrator maintains a record of all actions involving an appeal and
shall report variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency upon request.
(e) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, or restoration of
structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the state inventory of
historic places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this
code.
(f) 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 subsection 14-541(1) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases
beyond the one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance
increases.
(g) Upon consideration of the factors noted above and the intent of this division, the
appeal board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems
necessary to further the purpose and objectives of this chapter, section 14-502.
(h) Variances may not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood
levels during the base flood discharge would result.
(i) Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a
determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the
structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the
minimum necessary to preserve the historic character of design of the structure.
(j) Prerequisites for granting variances:
(1) Variances may only be issued upon a determination that the variance is
the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
(2) Variances may only be issued upon:
a. Showing a good and sufficient cause;
b. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in
exceptional hardship to the applicant;
c. 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 existing local laws or ordinances.
(3) Any applicant, to whom a variance is granted, may 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.
(k) Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements and
for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent
use provided that:
(1) The criteria outlined in subsections 14-544(a) through (i) are met; and
(2) 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.

DIVISION 5. - PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION
Sec. 14-551. - General standards.
In all areas of special flood hazards, the following provisions are required for all new construction
and substantial improvements:
(a) All new construction or substantial improvements must be designed (or
modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral
movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic Toads,
including the effects of buoyancy;
(b) All new construction or substantial improvements must be constructed by
methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
(c) All new construction or substantial improvements must be constructed with
materials resistant to flood damage;
(d) All new construction or substantial improvements must be constructed with
electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and
other service facilities that are designed and
located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components
during conditions of flooding;
(e) All new and replacement water supply systems must be designed to minimize or
eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system;
(f) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems must be designed to minimize
or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system and discharge from the
systems into floodwaters;
(g) On -site waste disposal systems must be located to avoid impairment to them
or contamination from them during flooding; and
(h) Additional protection is specifically recommended such that the lowest floor of
any building be elevated to a level of one (1) foot higher or more above the base
flood elevation since such additional protection may provide for significant
reductions in insurance premiums.
Sec. 14-552. - Specific standards.
In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as set
forth in section 14-521, subsection 14-542(h), or subsection 14-543(c), the following provisions are
required:
(a) Residential construction. New construction of any residential structure
must have the lowest floor (including basement) and machinery or
equipment, elevated to one (1) foot above the base flood elevation. Substantial
damage and substantial improvement must have the lowest floor (including
basement) and machinery or equipment, elevated to at or above one (1) foot
above the base flood elevation. Attached garages and enclosures below
elevated buildings must meet the minimum NFIP requirements (elevated to the
base flood elevation or have proper openings). 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
subsection 14-533(b)(1), is satisfied.
(b) Nonresidential construction. New construction of any commercial, industrial,
or other nonresidential structure must either have the lowest floor (including
basement) elevated to one (1) foot 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. Substantial
damage and substantial improvement must have the lowest floor (including
basement), elevated to at or above the base flood elevation 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.
(c) 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 must 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 (2) openings having a total net area of not less than one
(1) square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding
must be provided.
b. The bottom of all openings must be no higher than one (1) foot above grade.
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.
(d) Manufactured homes.
a. All manufactured homes to be placed within zone A on a city's FHBM or FIRM
must be installed using methods and practices which minimize flood
damage.
1. For the purposes of this requirement, a manufactured home must be
elevated and anchored to resist flotation, collapse or lateral
movement.
2. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over -
the -top or frame ties to ground anchors.
3. This requirement is in addition to applicable state and local anchoring
requirements for resisting wind forces.
b. Manufactured homes that are placed or substantially improved within zones
A1-30, AH, and AE on the city's FIRM must be on sites:
1. Outside of a manufactured home park or subdivision.
2. In a new manufactured home park or subdivision.
3. In an expansion to 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 one (1) foot above
the base flood elevation and be securely anchored to an adequately
anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse and lateral
movement.
c. Manufactured homes must be placed on substantially improved on sites in an
existing manufactured home park or subdivision with zones A1-30, AH, and
AE on the city's FIRM that are not subject to the provisions of subsection (4)
of this section must be elevated so that either:
1. The lowest floor of the manufactured home is one (1) foot above the base
flood elevation, or
2. The manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced piers or other
foundation elements of at least equivalent strength that are no Tess than
thirty-six (36) inches in height above grade and be securely anchored to
an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse
and lateral movement.

30, AH, and AE on the city's FIRM either:
a. Must be on the site for fewer than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days,
b. Must be fully licensed and ready for highway use, or
c. Must meet the permit requirements of subsection 14-545(a), and the
elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured homes in
subsection (4) of this section.
(f) 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.
Sec. 14-553. - Standards for subdivision proposals.
(a) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home parks
and subdivisions must be consistent with sections 14-501, 14-502, and 14-503 of
this Code.
(b) All proposals for the development of subdivisions, including the placement of
manufactured home parks and subdivisions, must meet development permit
requirements of section 14-523, section 14-533, and the provisions of division 5 of
article V of this chapter.
(c) Base flood elevation data must be generated for subdivision proposals and other
proposed developments, including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions, which is greater than fifty (50) lots or five (5) acres, whichever is lesser,
if not otherwise provided under section 14-522 or subsection 14-532(8) of this Code.
(d) All subdivision proposals, including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions, must have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood
hazards.
(e) All subdivision proposals, including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions, must have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical
and water systems located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage.
Sec. 14-554. - Standards for areas of shallow flooding (AO/AH zones).
Locations within the areas of special flood hazard established in section 14-522 are
designated as shallow flooding areas. These areas have special flood hazards associated
with base flood depths of one (1) to three (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, of residential structures must have the lowest floor (including
basement) and machinery or equipment elevated above the highest adjacent
grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the city's FIRM (at
least two (2) feet if no depth number is specified) plus one (1) foot. Substantial
damage and substantial improvement must have the lowest floor (including
basement) and machinery or equipment, elevated to at or above the highest
adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the
city's FIRM (at least two (2) feet if no depth number is specified) plus one (1)
foot. Attached garages and enclosures below elevated buildings must meet the
minimum NFIP requirements (elevated to the base flood elevation or have proper
openings).
(2) All new construction of nonresidential structures:
a. Must 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
city's FIRM (at least two (2)) feet plus one (1) foot, if
no depth number is specified; or
b. Substantial damage and substantial improvements must 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 city's FIRM (at
least two (2)) feet, if no depth number is specified; or
c. Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities must be designed so
that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls
(3)
substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural
components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic
loads of effects of buoyancy.
A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification to the
floodplain administrator that the standards of this section, as proposed in
subsection 14-533(b)(1), are satisfied.
(4) Structures within zones AH or AO must have adequate drainage paths around
structures on slopes, to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed
structures.
Sec. 14-555. - Floodways.
(a) Channels of streams, which must be kept clear of encroachments to enable a 100-
year flood to pass without an increase in flood height, and which are located within
areas of special flood hazard established in section 14-522 are designated as
regulatory floodways.
(b) Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of
floodwaters 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
unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed
encroachment would not result in an increase in flood levels within the
community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(2) If subsection (b)(1) of this section, is satisfied, all new construction and
substantial improvements must comply with all applicable flood hazard
reduction provisions of division 5 of article V of this Code.
(3) Under the provisions of 44 CFR 65.12, of the National Flood Insurance Program
Regulations, a community may permit encroachments within the adopted
regulatory floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations,
provided that the community first applies for a conditional FIRM and floodway
revision through FEMA.
(4) The placement of manufactured homes is prohibited, except in an existing
manufactured home park or existing manufactured home subdivision.
(5) The storage of hazardous materials, in any form, is prohibited within the
adopted regulatory floodway.
Sec. 14-556. - Coastal high hazard areas.
(a) Areas that are subject to possible high-energy wave action, and which are identified
as areas of special flood hazard established in section 14-522, are areas designated
as coastal high hazard areas (zones V1-30, VE, and/or V).
(b) These areas have special flood hazards associated with high -velocity waters from tidal
surges and hurricane wave wash; therefore, in addition to meeting all provisions
outlined in this Code, the following provisions also apply:
(1) Obtain the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the lowest
structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings and columns) of all new
and substantially improved structures, and whether or not such structures
contain a basement. The floodplain administrator maintains a record of all this
information.
(2) All new construction must be located landward of the reach of mean high tide.
(3) All new construction and substantial damage must be elevated on pilings and
columns so that:
a. The bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor
(excluding the pilings or columns) is elevated to one (1) foot above the
base flood elevation.
b. Substantial improvements must have the bottom of the lowest horizontal
structural member of the lowest floor (excluding the pilings or columns)
elevated to at or one (1) foot above the base flood elevation.
c. The pile or column foundation and structure attached to the
foundation is anchored to resist flotation, collapse and lateral
movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting
simultaneously on all building components.
1. Water loading values used must be those associated with the base flood.
2. Wind loading values used shall be those required by applicable state or local
building standards.
(4) A registered professional engineer or architect shall develop or review the
structural design, specifications and plans for the construction, and shall certify
that the design and methods of construction to be used are in accordance with
accepted standards of practice for meeting the provisions of subsections (3)a.
and (3)b. of this section.
(5) All new construction and substantial improvements must have the space below
the lowest floor either free of obstruction or constructed with non -supporting
breakaway walls, open wood lattice -work, or insect screening intended to
collapse under wind and water loads without causing collapse,
displacement, or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the
building or supporting foundation system.
(6) For the purpose of this section, a breakaway wall shall have a design safe
loading resistance of not less than ten (10), and not more than twenty (20)
pounds per square foot.
(7) Use of breakaway walls, which exceed a design safe loading resistance of twenty
(20) pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by local or
state codes), may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or
architect certifies that the designs proposed meet the following conditions:
a. Breakaway wall collapse must result from a water load less than that which
would occur during the base flood; and
b. The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system
may not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural damage
due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all
building components (structural and nonstructural).
1. Water loading values used shall be those associated with the base flood.
2. Wind loading values used shall be those required by applicable state or local
building standards.
(8) Enclosed space below the lowest floor may be useable solely for parking of
vehicles, building access or storage. The enclosed space below the lowest
floor may not be used for human habitation.
a. All enclosed areas below base flood elevation that are greater than five
(5) feet in height will be required to sign a non -conversion agreement
that will be filed with the deed.
(9) The use of fill or structural support of buildings is prohibited.
(10) The use of manmade alteration of sand dunes and mangrove stands, which
would increase potential flood damage, is prohibited.
(11) Manufactured homes, which have incurred substantial damage as the result of
a flood, must meet the standards of subsections (b)(1) through (b)(10) of this
section, if they are placed or substantially improved within zones V1-30, V, and
VE on the city's FIRM on sites:
a. Outside of a manufactured home park or subdivision,
b. In a new manufactured home park or subdivision,
c. In an expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision.
(1 2) Manufactured homes placed or substantially improved on other sites in an
existing manufactured home park or subdivision within zones V1-30, V, and VE
on the city's FIRM meet the requirements of subsection 14-542(4) of this Code.
(13) Recreational vehicles, which are placed on sites within zones V1-30, V, and
VE on the city's FIRM, must either:
a. Be on the site for fewer than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days,
b. Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, or
c. Meet the requirements in section 14-522 of this article and subsections
(b)(1) through (b)(10) of this section.
(14) 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."
Sec. 14-557. — Penalties for Non -Compliance.
No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or
altered without full compliance with the terms of this code and other applicable regulations.
Violation of the provisions of this code by failure to comply with any of its requirements
(including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with the
conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Any person who violates this code or fails to
comply with any of its requirements shall upon conviction therof be fined not more than
$500 for each violation, and in addition shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the
