eR.s. AUTHORITY

WHEREAS, Section 37-60-106(1)(c), Colorado Revised Statutes, requires the Colorado Water
Conservation Board to assist in the prevention of floods and flood damages therefrom; and

WHEREAS, Sections 31-23-301 and 30-28-111, Colorado Revised Statutes, provide that
legislative bodies of local jurisdictions may provide zoning regulations for land uses on or along any
storm or floodwater runoff channel or basin only after designation and approval by the Colorado Water

WHEREAS, Section 37-60-106(l)(c), Colorado Revised Statutes, directs the Colorado Water
Conservation Board to designate and approve storm or floodwater runoff channels or basins and to
make such designations available to legislative bodies of local jurisdictions; and

COMPLIANCE WITH CWCB TECHNICAL STANDARDS

WHEREAS, the detailed floodplain information for the Pine River within the Town of Ignacio
in said new Corps report meets all of the requirements listed under the Board's "Rules and Regulations
for the Designation and Approval of Floodplains and of Storm or Floodwater Runoff Channels in
Colorado" (2 CCR 408-1); and

WHEREAS, the approximate 100-year floodplain information for the Pine River included on
said Flood Hazard Boundary map dated January 16, 1976 does not include acceptable hydrology

Regulations for the Designation and Approval of Floodplains and of Storm or Floodwater Runoff
Channels in Colorado" (2 CCR 408-1); and

WHEREAS, the CWCB staff recommends that said Flood Hazard Boundary Map be

report; and

WHEREAS, Town of Ignacio should continue to regulate new development and construction
in floodplain areas on a case-by-case basis based on the information presented in said Corps report; and

the incorporated areas of the Town of Ignacio contained in said new report entitled "Floodplain
