SECTION 12-401 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT,
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Legislature of the State of Oklahoma has in (statutes) 82 O.S. §§1601-1618, as amended,
Chapter 23 delegated the responsibility of local governmental units to adopt regulations designed
to minimize flood losses. Therefore, the City Council of Owasso, Oklahoma, does ordain as
follows:
1) The flood hazard areas of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma are subject to periodic inundation,
which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and
governmental services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all
of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
2) These flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains which
cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard areas by
uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are inadequately elevated,
floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to
minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions
designed to:
2. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects-,
3. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public-,
4. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in floodplains;
6 Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development
of
sod s: areas in such a manner as to minimize future flood blight areas;
and
7. Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
Section Two: The provisions of this ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days
from the date of first publication as provided by law.
