Poway Municipal Code Pertaining to Floodplain Management." Staff report by City
Manager Bowersox. The City is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program

floodplain management program. From this evaluation, DWR determined that the
City's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Title 16, Division V, of the Poway
Municipal Code, was not consistent with current NFIP requirements. DWR requested
that the City amend the Municipal Code by adopting the California Model Floodplain
Management Ordinance, which has been developed to meet said requirements.
