Present Land Use
Land use: Floodway and Fairgrounds-Racetrack (North Riverbank); Floodway and North Commercial (Southeast Riverbank); Railroad Right-of-Way (ROW) (Southwest Riverbank)/ Zoning: FR, FW, Floodplain Overlay Zone, and Lagoon Overlay Zone (North Riverbank); Southeast Riverbank: FW, NC, Floodplain Overlay Zone, and Lagoon Overlay Zone (Southeast Riverbank); RR and Lagoon Overlay Zone (Southwest Riverbank)
Document Description
The Project consists of three reaches of the shoreline: North Riverbank, Southeast Riverbank, and Southwest Riverbank. The Project would involve incorporation of living levee design concepts to improve resilience to sea level rise (SLR), provide flood protection, meet FEMA’s No Rise certification standard for the floodplain, improve local water quality, improve public access, and enhance biodiversity. Additionally, the Project includes removal of an existing Public Works Facility structure out from the FEMA floodway, and flood protection walls. A new Public Works Facility structure (i.e., prefabricated, mobile structure) would be located on the southwestern side of the existing Public Works Facility property, beyond the limits of the floodway, in compliance with FEMA’s floodplain standards.
