The special flood hazard areas regulated by this chapter have been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in a scientific and engineering report entitled, “The Flood Insurance Study for the Pinal County, Arizona, and Incorporated Areas,” dated June 16, 2014, with accompanying flood insurance rate maps, dated December 4, 2007, and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions thereto, which is adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. The flood insurance study is on file at the city development center office, 510 East Florence Boulevard, Casa Grande, Arizona. The flood insurance study is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter. It may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter, and which are recommended to the floodplain board by the floodplain administrator. The floodplain board, within its area of jurisdiction, shall delineate (or may, by rule, require developers of land to delineate) for areas where development is ongoing or imminent, and thereafter as development becomes imminent, floodplains consistent with the criteria developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
