The Floodplain Development Permit is required in addition to other permits or review processes, which may be associated with the underlying zone district. All activities, regardless of impact, need to be permitted even if there are no apparent or adverse impacts to the floodplain.   For such instances, a No-Rise Certification sign by a Colorado licensed Professional Engineer may be required with the Floodplain Development Permit.
