if the number of housing units increases by 33.07% (the rate fi:om 1990 to 2000), then 17,477 <br />new housing units could be built within the County's permitting jurisdiction between 2002-2010. <br />At a rate of.3%, 52 of these units could be expected to be built on properties within 100-year <br />floodplains. <br /> <br /> 4. Applying the 2000 Census of Population and Housing average household size of 2.60 <br />persons/unit to these 52 new residential units would indicate that 135 additional persons could be <br />in harm's way during flooding if no changes are made in current housing development patterns <br />within the County's permitting jurisdiction. <br /> <br /> Table B-6: Future Flood Vulnerability <br />Current Residential Growth Patterns within County Permitting Jurisdiction <br /> <br /> Number of Residential Number of Residential Number ~f Persons <br /> Building Permits Building Permits in Exposed to Flood Hazard <br /> Floodplain <br />1993-2001 2002-2010 1993-2001 2002-2010 1993-2001 2002-2010 <br /> Projected Projected Estimated Projected <br /> Increase Increase <br />17,758 29,739 53 89 138 231 <br /> <br />Source: Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning Services Department. <br /> <br /> 5. This type of increase in susceptibility to flooding cannot be allowed to occur. Future <br />growth and development must be encouraged in areas of low vulnerability through modification <br />and implementation of the various small area plans in effect throughout Cabarrus County. These <br />plans encourage growth in areas currently equipped to handle increased density. Whenever <br />possible these plans recommend open space and recreational uses as appropriate uses in flood <br />prone areas. By consistently implementing existing and new land use policies and regulations as <br />proposed in the hazard mitigation plan, future vulnerability will be reduced. Strict enforcement <br />of mitigation measures such as adherence to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and the <br />Unified Development Ordinance (where applicable) must be utilized to decrease vulnerability to <br />hazards. <br /> <br /> 6. The data shown in Tables B-5 and B-6 are derived fi:om calculations based on the <br />assumption that prior trends in development will prevail. Current County ordinances have <br />altered that trend and will significantly reduce these projected figures. Based on currently <br />available information, future damage costs are estimated between 100,000 and 200,000 dollars. <br /> <br />H. Redevelopment. <br /> <br /> Planning for redevelopment in the wake of a natural disaster also serves to reduce future <br />vulnerability. Redevelopment should be encouraged in a manner which will result in lower <br />vulnerability by restricting re-building within high-risk areas and requiring the use of mitigation <br />measures in the rebuilt structures, such as higher finished floor elevations and flood-proofing. <br />These measures are currently being regulated through Cabarrus County's Flood Prevention <br />Ordinance. This document is enforced through resolution by the towns of Midland, Mount <br />Pleasant, and Harrisburg. <br /> <br />Draft Annex B V.3 B-5 1 June 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
