20.30 Except as otherwise allowed according to Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />(FEMA) regulations, development shall be prohibited in floodways if it could result in an <br />increased flood level. The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and <br />the adjacent land area that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in <br />any given year. <br />3C.31 When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local <br />regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to <br />life and property. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially <br />developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe <br />shall be protected for their agricultural and sand and gravel resource values, their open <br />space and recreational potential, and their value to water resources. <br />40.32 Local governments shall require site-specific soil surveys and geologic studies where <br />potential problems exist. When problems are identified, local governments shall require <br />special design considerations and construction measures be taken to offset the soil and <br />geologic constraints present, to protect life and property, public investments, and <br />environmentally-sensitive areas. <br />24C.33Eugene shall maintain and improve and Springfield `}hall adopt hillside development <br />~~regulations. <br />.L000i: L:4CITYCOUNTYPL,4NNINGWETR01PH951E0.S20041EXIIIBITB.DOC <br />Last Saved: April 22, 2004 <br />Exhibit B: Proposed amendments to Cbapter III-C, Environmental Resources Element, Page 25 of 25 <br />of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan). <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 302 <br />
