(10)   The inland areas known as the Inland Flood Resilience Zone (“IFRZ”), will become, or already may be experiencing flooding as the intensity, duration or frequency of precipitation events increase. Because of this, activities undertaken within the IFRZ have a reasonable probability of adverse impacts, including, without limitation, erosion, poor water quality, pollution of stormwater runoff and lack of flood control. The Commission may establish regulations the extent of the IFRZ. Performance standards and other measures and safeguards for protection of such resource area values within the BLSF and the IFRZ for the useful life of the project may vary within the IFRZ in accordance with, among other factors, the time when such areas are likely to become part of the floodplain. To the maximum extent possible, as determined by the Commission the IFRZ shall be consistent with other climate change planning documents used by other Offices and Agencies of the city.
