This Section 11-1 shall apply to all areas of special flood hazard within the jurisdiction of the Village of Bosque Farms.
The areas of special flood hazard are identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the current scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Valencia County, New Mexico," dated August 19, 2010, with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps and/or Flood Boundary-Floodway Maps (FIRM and/or FBFM), Village of Bosque Farms No. 0350142, Panel 0230E of Map 35061C0230E.
A floodplain development permit shall be required to ensure conformance with the provisions of this Section 11-1 as per Section 10-1, Zoning, § 10-1-18, of the Village Code.
No structure or land shall hereafter be located, altered, or have its use changed without full compliance with the terms of this Section 11-1 and other applicable regulations.
This Section 11-1 is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Section 11-1 and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
In the interpretation and application of this Section 11-1, all provisions shall be:
A. 
Considered as minimum requirements;
B. 
Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and
C. 
Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes.
The degree of flood protection required by this Section 11-1 is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. On rare occasions greater floods can and will occur and flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This Section 11-1 does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Section 11-1 shall not create liability on the part of the community or any official or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Section 11-1 or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
