This recommendation is aimed at all major creeks and streams within the and adjacent to the City where the flood plains have been definitely established; and at that time it would be the administration's recommendation to annex that area and 298 C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 19, 1970 299 a flood plain zoning applied.
