Angels Camp Municipal Code Art. III Applicability

These regulations, in conjunction with the building codes, provide minimum requirements for development located in flood hazard areas, including the subdivision of land; filling, grading and other site improvements; installation of utilities; installation, placement and replacement of manufactured homes; placement of recreational vehicles; installation of tanks; temporary structures and temporary or permanent storage; utility and miscellaneous Group U buildings and structures; certain building work exempt from permit under the building codes; and flood control projects.

(Ord. 544 (Att. A), 2025)

The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study for City of Angels" dated September 24, 1984, with accompanying flood insurance rate maps (FIRM) and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions are adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter and serve as the basis for establishing flood hazard areas. Where the building code establishes flood hazard areas, such areas are also established by this section. Additional maps and studies, when specifically adopted, supplement the FIS and FIRMs to establish additional flood hazard areas. The record flood insurance study is on file at City Hall, Angels Camp, California. This flood insurance study is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are recommended to the city council by the floodplain administrator.
