The applicant agrees to comply with City of Tucson Floodplain and Erosion Hazard regulations, and is particularly bound by the conditions stated below. Violation of any of the conditions stated or referred to below, as determined by the City Engineer, shall be grounds for revocation of this permit. Responsibility for renewal of this permit, if necessary, is with the applicant. Issuance of this permit does not constitute a waiver of other requirements contained in the Tucson City Code, Land Use Code, or any other Federal, State, or local regulation. No use other than as permitted herein is allowed. Additional uses allowed under City of Tucson Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Regulations and Watercourse Amenities, Safety, and Habitat regulations require the issuance of an additional Floodplain Use Permit. The following conditions shall apply to this permit: 1. All work shall conform to the attached plans (Drainage Report and all activity number T11CM03883) which are made part of this permit. 2. Any building shall be placed on a engineered pad, compacted to 95% density, extending twenty-five (25) feet beyond the buildings foundation, unless a study prepared by a state-registered professional civil engineer and approved by the city engineer shows that a lesser distance is acceptable. 3. The proposed building(s) is/are impacted by the regulatory floodplain. The floodplain 100-year water surface elevation (WSE) just upstream of the (existing or proposed) building(s) is 2354.5 feet. The building(s) finished floor elevation must be elevated 1 foot above the floodplain 100-year WSE. This can be achieved by either building up the building pad to the 100-year WSE or higher, or elevating the building by any other acceptable method such as stem walls, piers, etc, depending on what the drainage report, the engineer or the owner is proposing. The building lowest finish floor, utilities, machinery, equipment (i.e. furnaces, water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners and their associated equipment, including all electrical equipment), or an open utility platform that provides utility services for the structure on this property, under this permit shall, be placed at a minimum of 2355.5 (1 foot above 2355.5) feet above see level, NAVD88 as certified by a Registered Land Surveyor.

The existing drainage patterns at the property lines shall not be obstructed. 5. Except as approved by the City Engineer prior to the start of construction, development under this permit shall not obstruct, retard or divert the existing flow of floodwaters from or to adjacent properties. 6. This permit becomes invalid and is subject to additional floodplain review, if any required development permit (s') changes the configuration of the structure and or site development. 7.
