all official actions relating to land use in areas having these hazards; and
WHEREAS, this body has the legal authority to adopt land use and control measures to
reduce future flood losses pursuant to Government Code Sections 65302, 65560, and 65800.

uses and occupancy of the flood plain, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) or flood -related
erosion areas.
