If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new
construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured
homes, shall:
(1) Be
designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation,
collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic
and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.
(2) Be
constructed:
(A) With materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
(B) Using methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
(C) With electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning
equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located
so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components
during conditions of flooding.
(Ord. 1846 § 1, 2007)
If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development,
including manufactured home parks or subdivisions, is in a flood-prone
area, any such proposals shall be reviewed to assure that:
(1) All
such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage
within the floodprone area;
(2) All
public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and
water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate
flood damage; and
(3) Adequate
drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
(Ord. 1846 § 1, 2007)
