The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and <br /> the adjacent land area that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in <br /> any given year. <br /> <br />[ gC.31 When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local <br /> regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to <br /> life and property. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially <br /> developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe <br /> shall be protected for their agricultural and sand and gravel resource values, their open <br /> space and recreational potential, and their value to water r6sources. <br /> <br />[ 4C.32 Local governments shall require site-specific soil surveys and geologic studies where <br /> potential problems exist. When problems are identified, local governments shall require <br /> special design considerations and construction measures be taken to offset the soil and <br /> geologic constraints present, to protect life and property, public investments, and <br /> environmentally-sensitive areas. <br /> <br />[ -24C.33 Eugene shall maintain and improve and Springfield shall adopt hillside development <br /> regulations. <br /> <br /> LCOG: L 'ICIT¥ COUNTY PLANNINGtMETROlPR951EOS2004iEXHIBITB.
