(2) <br /> <br />All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; <br /> <br />Ail public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are <br />located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; <br /> <br />(3) Adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and <br /> <br />(4) All proposals for development, including proposals for manufactured home parks and <br /> subdivisions, of five (5) acres or fifty (50) lots, whichever is lesser, include within such <br /> proposals base flood elevation data. <br /> <br /> and equipment <br /> <br />The storage or processing of materials within the special flood hazard area that are in time of <br />flooding buoyant, flammable, explosive, or could be injurious to human, animal, or plant life is <br />prohibited. <br /> <br />Storage of other material or equipment may be allowed if not subject to major damage by <br />floods, if firmly anchored to prevent flotation, or if readily removable from the area within the <br />time available after a flood warning. <br /> <br />5. Storage, material, <br /> <br /> a. <br /> <br />6. Nonconfomfing use <br /> <br />A structure, or the use of a structure or premises that was lawful before the passage or amendment of <br />the ordinance, but which is not in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance, may be continued <br />subject to the following conditions: <br /> <br />If such structure, use, or utility service is discontinued for twelve consecutive months, any <br />future use of the building shall conform to this ordinance. <br /> <br />If any nonconforming use or structure is destroyed by any means, including flood, it shall not <br />be reconstructed if the cost is more than 50 percent of the pre-damaged market value of the <br />structure. This limitation does not include the cost of any alteration to comply with existing <br />State or local health, sanitary, building, safety codes, regulations or the cost of any alteration of <br />a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the State Inventory of Historic <br />Places, or local inventory of historic places upon determination. <br /> <br />Section 15.16.1 <br />1. <br /> <br />50 Specific standards. <br /> <br />In all areas identified as numbered and unnumbered A zones and AE zones, where base flood <br />elevation data have been provided, as set forth in Section 15.16.140.2, the following provisions are <br />required: <br /> <br />a. Residential construction <br /> <br />New construction or substantial improvement, of any residential structure, including <br />manufactured homes, shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated a minimum of <br />one foot above the base flood level. <br /> <br />b. Non-residential construction <br /> <br />New construction or substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial, or other non- <br />residential structure, including manufactured home, shall have the lowest floor, including <br />basement, elevated a minimum of one foot above the base flood level, or together with <br />attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be floodpro0fed so that below the base flood level the <br />structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with <br />structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
