UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following revised County Floodplain Ordinance. FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE ARTICLE 1. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES. SECTION A. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION The legislature of the State of North Carolina has in Chapter 153A-121 of N. C. General Statues, delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the County Commissioners of Cabarrus County, North Carolina, do ordain as follows: SECTION B. FINDINGS OF FACT. 1. The flood hazard areas of Cabarrus County are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. 2. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstruc- tions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages. SECTION C. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: 1. Restrict and prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion or in flood heights or velocities; 2. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
