On receipt of a permit application, an issuing department shall either ensure that the application has been reviewed by the zoning administrator or determine whether the development is in the S.F.H.A. If the zoning administrator or the commissioner of the issuing department determines that the proposed site of the development may be within the S.F.H.A., he shall inscribe “Flood Hazard Area” in permanent ink on the face of the application and deliver it to the commissioner of buildings for S.F.H.A. site confirmation and establishment of the F.P.E. No permit shall be issued for the proposed development until the requirements of this chapter have been met, and no development in the S.F.H.A. shall commence until the required permits are obtained.
