595 Flood Damage Prevention CITY OF YELM
ORDINANCE NO. 595
AN ORDINANCE adopting a temporary interim amendment to Chapter 15.32.240(A) of the Yelm Municipal Code
relating to flood damage prevention.
The Yelm City Council makes the following findings of fact:
1. In February 1996 and during the last week of December of 1996, Yelm Creek has received flood waters in
excess of designated flood hazard areas (100 year floodplains, as mapped on the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps "FIRM") resulting in the flooding of existing platted lots. To avoid threat to lives or property from
these excessive floods, the City and FEMA are conducting a re-evaluation of the designated 100-year
floodplains.
2. The City desires to impose a temporary flood management standard in the interim to assure adequate
warning and safe construction in flood prone areas.
3. In order to preserve the City's ability to effectuate long-term planning decisions and to plan in a rational
manner, it is necessary to prohibit construction in flood hazard areas without adequate flood protection,
temporarily through adoption of this interim ordinance. For the reasons set forth in these Findings, these
circumstances constitute an emergency.
4. This Ordinance also has the purpose of allowing full and open public debate on any proposed permanent
measures regulating construction in flood hazard areas. The City is directed to hold a public hearing on
amendments to Chapter 15.32 of the Municipal Code within 60 days of adoption of this Ordinance.
5. Under WAC 197-1-880, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the requirement of a threshold
determination under SEPA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE YELM CITY COUNCIL as follows:
Section 1: Yelm Municipal Code Section 15.32.240(A) is amended to read as follows:
15.32.240 Residential Construction. A. New construction and substantial improvement of any residential
structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one foot or more above base flood elevation, or
the highest know recorded flood elevation, whichever is greater, as shown for the areas depicted on the
attached Exhibits A, B, and C.
Section 2: This Ordinance shall expire and its terms be of no force and effect 180 days from its
adoption herein July 7, 1997.
Section 3: This Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon passage by this City Council.
ADOPTED: January 8, 1997
