Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 1442.13 are areas designated as floodways. Since a floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the following provisions shall apply to floodways:
(a) Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development, are prohibited, unless a technical evaluation demonstrates that encroachments will not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(b) Where new construction and substantial improvements are permitted, they shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Section 1442.09.
(c) The placement of any mobile home, except in an existing mobile home park or existing mobile home subdivision, is prohibited.
