If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new
construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured
homes, shall:
A.
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.
B.
Be
constructed:
1.
With
materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
2.
Using
methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
3.
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.

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:
A.
All
such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage
within the flood prone area;
B.
All
public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and
water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate
flood damage; and
C.
Adequate
drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
