FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 4 | 10
C. FLOODPLAIN
The Jerome Street Station project is located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area for the Cache
la Poudre River (Poudre River). Most of this area is designated as With Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or
Depth in Zone AE on FIRM Panel 08069C0997G, effective June 17, 2008. Therefore, most of the
property falls inside the regulated 100-year floodplain. Chapter 10 of the City of Fort Collins
Municipal Code regulates critical facilities within this Flood Hazard Zone. However, no critical
facilities are proposed.
It should be noted FEMA is currently remapping the Poudre River. Anderson Consulting Engineers
(ACE) will provide the updated floodplain modeling, mapping, and report for the site when
completed. It is assumed the project site will continue to be located within the updated 100-year
floodplain. To ensure the proposed buildings have adequate flood protection, the finished floors
and all ductwork, heating, ventilation, electrical systems, etc., will be elevated 24-inches above the
new Base Flood Elevation (BFE). This elevation is known as the Regulatory Flood Protection
Elevation (RFPE). The RFPE = BFE + 24 inches.
