critical facilities
☐ Any pedestrian bridges in the floodway that are not able to pass the 100-year flow are

Information Related to Structures in the Floodplain
☐ For structures in the floodplain, a table is shown that lists the following:
☐ City BFE at upstream end of structure
☐ FEMA BFE at upstream end of structure (if different than City BFE)
☐ Regulatory flood protection elevation
☐ Lowest floor elevation (bottom of basement or crawl space is considered
lowest floor)
☐ Floodproofing elevation for non-residential structures (if applicable)
☐ Garage slab elevation
☐ HVAC elevation
☐ The BFE at upstream end of structures are correct based on interpolation between
the cross-sections.
☐ The regulatory flood protection elevation is correct.
☐ The lowest floor and HVAC are at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation.
☐ Elevations are referenced to the 1988 datum.
☐ A typical drawing detail is included for each foundation type proposed (slab-on-
grade, basement, crawl space) showing the elevation of the HVAC and lowest floor
elevation (which includes bottom of the basement or crawl space) relative to the BFE.
☐ If garage is not elevated to the regulatory flood protection elevation, then a drawing
detail is included showing vent placement, size, and number.
☐ There is 1 square inch of venting for every 1 square foot of enclosed area.
☐ The bottom of the venting is not higher than 1 foot above grade.
☐ The venting is on at least two sides, preferably on upstream and
downstream sides. (Does not have to be divided equally).
☐ If a non-residential structure is to be floodproofed, one of these conditions is met:
☐ All requirements on separate sheet titled “Floodproofing Guidelines”
have been met.
☐ If floodproofing information is not submitted as part of the plans, then a
note is on the plans stating that floodproofing information will be
submitted at the time of the building permit application.
☐ For manufactured homes, all submittal requirements on separate sheet titled
“Installation of a Mobile Home Located in a Floodplain: Submittal Requirements”
have been met.

☐ If the floodplain use permit is not going to be submitted until the building permit is
applied for, then a note is on the plans stating that the floodplain use permit will be
submitted at the time of building permit application.
☐ A note is on the plans stating that a FEMA elevation or floodproofing certificate will
be completed and approved before the CO is issued. This is required even if property
is only in a City floodplain.
Drainage Report
☐ The site is described as being in the floodplain. Floodplain name and if the floodplain
is a FEMA or City-designated is described. Any floodway or erosion buffer zones on
the site are described.
☐ The FEMA FIRM panel # and date and/or the Master Plan information is cited.
☐ A copy of the FIRM panel with the site location marked is included in the report.
☐ If a floodplain modeling report has been submitted, that report is referenced. The
reason for the floodplain modeling report is described.
☐ If a FEMA CLOMR or LOMR has been approved for the site, the case number is
referenced. The reason for the CLOMR or LOMR is described.
☐ If a FEMA LOMR is required after construction, this is stated in the report.
☐ The location of the structures relative to the floodplain is described. If there is both a
FEMA and a City floodplain on the site, the location of the structures relative to both
is described.
☐ The use of the structures is described. This is to determine if the structure is
residential, non-residential, or mixed-use. Also, structures in all 100-year and Poudre
River 500-year floodplains cannot be used as a critical facility. (See Chapter 10 of
City Code for definitions.)
☐ If in the Poudre River 100-year floodplain, the requirement to complete an
Emergency Response and Preparedness Plan (ERPP) is discussed and the
requirement for annual training drills and an annual update in the first quarter of
every year is discussed.
☐ The report describes how the development is in compliance with the applicable
floodplain regulation (Chapter 10 of City Code). (Examples: elevation of lowest floor
above regulatory flood protection elevation, floodproofing, floodway regulation,
erosion buffer zone regulation, no-rise, etc.)

☐ The type of foundation matches with the lowest floor elevations and grading plan.
☐ If any of the garages are not going to be elevated above the regulatory flood
protection elevation, the hydraulic venting requirements are discussed.

☐ Floodproofing elevation for non-residential structures (if applicable)
☐ Garage slab elevation
☐ HVAC elevation
☐ Elevations are referenced to the NAVD 1988 datum.
