PROJECT INFORMATION
Project Name __________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Type o New Building o Existing Structure o Installation o Residential o Non-residential
o Alteration o Addition o Accessory o Watercourse o Manufactured Home
o Materials Storage o Filling/Grading o Mining/Dredging o Other __________________________________________
If the proposed construction is an alteration, addition or improvement to an existing structure, indicate the following:
Proposed Cost _______________________________ Existing Estimated Market Value ___________________________________________
Note: An existing structure must comply with the flood protection standards if it is substantially improved (an improvement equal to or greater than 50% of the market value
of the structure). FEMA maintains that the “substantial improvement” definition applies to existing structures only and that once a structure meets the definition of “new
construction” any further improvements to that structure must meet “new construction” requirements. For floodplain management purposes “new construction” means
structures for which “start of construction” began on or after the effective date of the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by FEMA for the community.
Does proposed development involve a subdivision or other development containing at least 50 lots or 5 acres (whichever is less)?
o Yes o No NOTE: If yes, base flood elevation data is required from applicant if it has not been provided by FEMA.
Application is hereby made for a DEVELOPMENT PERMIT as required by the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Resolution),
Chapter 1329 of the City of Grove City Building Code for development in an identified flood hazard area. All activities shall be
completed in accordance with the requirements of said Ordinance (Resolution). The development to be performed is described
below and in attachments hereto. The applicant understands and agrees that:
• this permit is issued on the conditions and facts described;
• any permit may be repealed if conditions or facts change;
• permit void if the activity has not begun within 180 days of the issuance date;
• the permit will remain valid for one year from date of issuance.
Note: In addition to completion of this form, the applicant agrees to submit any additional information required by the administrator in order to determine that the proposed
development is compliant with the local and federal flood damage prevention criteria of the National Flood Insurance Program.
Additional information may include but is not limited to: site specific plans to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions and
elevations of the area and structure(s) in question.

DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION
OFFICE USE
NOTE: The following is to be completed by the local floodplain administrator. All references to elevations are in feet mean sea level (m.s.l.). The term-base flood elevation
means the same as the 100-year elevation.
Is the proposed development located in:
An identified floodway o Yes o No
A flood hazard area where base flood elevations exist with no identified floodway o Yes o No
An area within the floodplain fringe o Yes o No
An approximate flood hazard area (Zone A). o Yes If yes, complete only A in the following question. o No
NOTE: Floodway development must demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, performed in accordance with standard engineering practice, that no increase
in base flood elevation will result during occurrence of the base flood discharge. If base flood elevations exist with no floodway delineation, hydrologic and hydraulic
analysis is required to demonstrate not more than 1’ increase at any point in the water surface elevation of the base flood.
A) Does proposed development meet NFIP and local General Standards at Section 1329.16 of your regulations?
o Construction materials and methods resistant to flood damage? o Yes o No
o Anchored properly? o Yes o No
o Utilities safe from flooding? o Yes o No
o Subdivision designed to minimize flood damage? o Yes o No
B) Does proposed development meet NFIP and local Specific Standards of Section 1329.20 of your regulations?
o Encroachments – proposed action will not obstruct flood waters? o Yes o No
o Proposed site-grade elevations if fill or topographic alteration is planned? o Yes o No
o Proposed lowest floor elevation expressed in feet m.s.l.? o Yes o No
o Proposed flood-proofed elevation expressed in feet m.s.l.? o Yes o No
Base flood elevation (100-year) at proposed site__________feet m.s.l.

Does the structure contain:
o Basement
o Enclosed area used only for parking access or storage, other than basement, below the lowest floor
For structures located in approximate A zones (no BFE available) the structure’s lowest floor is __________ feet above the highest
grade adjacent to the structure.
The certified as-built elevation of the structure’s lowest floor is __________ feet above m.s.l.*
The certified as-built flood-proofed elevation of the structure is __________ feet above m.s.l.*
NOTE: *Certificates of a registered engineer or land surveyor documenting these elevations are necessary if elevations are provided by applicant.
The proposed development is in compliance with applicable floodplain standards. PERMIT ISSUED ON _______________________
The proposed development is not in compliance with applicable floodplain standards. PERMIT DENIED ON ___________________
Reason: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: All structures must be built with the lowest floor, including the basement, elevated or flood-proofed to or above the base flood elevation (100-year) unless a variance
has been granted. Only nonresidential structures may be floodproofed.
The proposed development is exempt from the floodplain standards per Section 13.29.11 of the City’s Building Code.
