Permits for the establishment of a water diversion or change in place of diversion shall not be issued if, in the judgment of the floodplain administrator:

A. The proposed diversion will significantly increase the upstream base flood elevation to the detriment of neighboring property;

B. The proposed diversion is not designed and constructed to minimize potential erosion from a one-hundred-year flood; and

C. Any permanent diversion structure crossing the full width of the stream channel is not designed and constructed to safely withstand a one-hundred-year flood. (Ord. 576 § 6(B)(4), 1994)
