(A) All subdivisions of land, construction of dwelling units, or commercial or industrial construction or future development is prohibited within an area delineated as a floodplain, unless a special building permit is granted by the Floodplain Commission. A special building permit shall only be issued if the Floodplain Commission finds that the construction or development is not a danger to persons or property.
(B) The minimum floor elevation for all new construction within a delineated floodplain shall be above the highest-water line of the 100-year floodplain as determined by the City, the state’s Water Commission, or the Administrator of the Federal Insurance Administration. In all circumstances, the minimum floor elevation shall not be less than one foot above the highest point of the high water line.
