The first paragraph of section R105.3.1.1, determination of substantially improved or substantially damaged existing buildings in flood hazard areas, shall be amended to read as follows:
R105.3.1.1 Determination of substantially improved or substantially damaged existing buildings in flood hazard areas. For applications for reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of existing buildings or structures located in an area prone to flooding as established by Table R301.2(1), the Boise City Floodplain Administrator or designee shall examine or cause to be examined the construction documents for the proposed work. For buildings that have sustained damage from any origin, the value of the proposed work shall include the cost to repair the building or structure to its pre-damaged condition. If the Floodplain Administrator or designee finds that the value of the building or structure before the damage has occurred or the improvement is started, the proposed work is a substantial improvement or restoration of substantial damage and shall require existing portions of the entire building or structure to meet the requirements of R322. All substantially improved or reconstruction of existing structures shall be made in accordance with the Flood Hazard regulations of the Boise Development Code in addition to this code.
