“Lowest floor” means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building’s “lowest floor;” provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the non-elevation design requirements of this chapter.
