15.32.120: GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION IN CONSTRUCTION:
In all areas of special flood hazard the following provisions are required in all construction projects:
   A.   New construction and substantial improvements of an existing structure must be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure.
   B.   New construction and substantial improvements of an existing structure must be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage.
   C.   New construction or substantial improvements of an existing structure must be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
   D.   All heating and air conditioning equipment and components, all electrical, ventilation, plumbing, and other facilities must be designed and/or elevated to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during flooding.
   E.   New and replacement water supply systems must be designed to minimize or to eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system.
   F.   New and replacement sanitary sewage systems must be designed to minimize or to eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters.
   G.   On site waste disposal systems must be located and constructed to avoid functional impairment, or contamination from them, during flooding.
   H.   In areas where a regulatory floodway has not been designated, no new construction, substantial improvements, or other development (including fill) is permitted within zones A1-30 and AE on the FIRM, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood at any point within the community.
