SECTION A Statutory authorization of article. <br />The legislature of the state has in G.S. 153A-121 delegated the responsibility to local <br />governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and <br />general welfare of its citizenry.

SECTION C Statement of purpose of article. <br />It is the purpose of this article to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to <br />minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions <br />designed to: <br />(1) Restrict and prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water <br />or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or <br />velocities; <br />(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be <br />protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; <br />(3) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective <br />barriers which are involved in the accommodation of floodwaters; <br />(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase erosion or <br />flood damage; and <br />
