This chapter shall apply to all areas of special flood hazard
within the jurisdiction of the City of Hackensack, County of Bergen
and State of New Jersey.
A.
The areas of special flood hazard for the City of Hackensack, Community
No. 340039, are identified and defined on the following documents
prepared by FEMA:
(1)
A scientific and engineering report "Flood Insurance Study, Bergen
County, New Jersey (All Jurisdictions)," dated August 28, 2019.
(2)
Flood Insurance Rate Map for Bergen County, New Jersey (all jurisdictions)
as shown on index and panels 34003CO189H, 34003CO191H, 34003CO192H,
34003CO193H, 34003CO194H, 34003CO252H and 34003CO256H, whose effective
date is August 28, 2019.
(3)
Best available flood hazard data. These documents shall take precedence
over effective panels and FIS in construction and development regulations
only. Where the effective mapping of base flood elevation conflict
or overlap with the best available flood hazard data, whichever imposes
the more stringent requirement shall prevail.
B.
The above documents are hereby adopted and declared to be a part
of this chapter. The Flood Insurance Study, maps and advisory documents
are on file at Hackensack City Hall, 65 Central Avenue, Hackensack,
New Jersey.
No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, relocated
to, extended, converted or altered without full compliance with the
terms of this chapter and other applicable regulations. Violations
of the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply with any of
its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards
established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor.
Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any of
its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not more
than $500 or be imprisoned for not more than 90 days, or both, for
each violation and, in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses
involved in the case. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City
from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or
remedy any violation.
This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any
existing easements, covenants or deed restrictions. However, where
this chapter and any other ordinance, easement, covenant or deed restriction
conflicts or overlaps, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions
shall prevail.
In the interpretation and application of this chapter, all provisions
shall be:
The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and
engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare
occasions. Flood height may be increased by manmade or natural causes.
This chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of special
flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from
flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not create liability
on the part of the City of Hackensack, any officer or employee thereof
or the Federal Insurance Administration for any flood damages that
result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision
lawfully made thereunder.
