What about White River floodway rules on North Side parcels?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Indiana DNR administers the White River Floodway under the Flood Control Act. Parcels inside the mapped Regulatory Floodway (Meridian-Kessler's west edge, Broad Ripple's river-adjacent blocks, Butler-Tarkington north edge, parts of Rocky Ripple) face building-elevation and fill-restriction rules beyond Unigov zoning. Central Canal corridor adds a historic-overlay review. Additions and ADUs inside these corridors route through DNR + DMD before DBNS issues.
