The flood areas in the city are classified as either one of two types:

(1) Floodway. Floodways are defined as the channel of a stream and adjacent land areas which are required to carry and discharge the flood water or flood flows of any river or stream associated with a regulatory flood.

(2) Flood Fringe. The flood fringe is defined as that land area which is outside a stream’s floodway, but is subject to periodic inundation due to flooding, associated with a regulatory flood. (Ord. 03-18 §37, 2003).
