  • Floodplain Ordinance

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton, Pennsylvania floodplain ordinance (Chapter 445, Article V, § 445-51), amended July 28, 2020, establishes floodplain management requirements intended to promote public health and safety, encourage appropriate construction practices to minimize flood damage, protect water supply and natural drainage, and reduce financial burdens from excessive development in flood-prone areas while complying with federal and state requirements. The ordinance designates the City Planner within the Department of Licensing, Inspections and Permits as the Floodplain Administrator responsible for administering and enforcing the section. Construction or development anywhere within City of Scranton floodplain areas is unlawful without a permit obtained from the Floodplain Administrator. The ordinance supersedes conflicting provisions in identified floodplain areas but does not create liability for the City or its officers for flood damages resulting from reliance on the ordinance or administrative decisions made under it, and acknowledges that floods larger than those used for regulatory purposes may occur.
