(A) In addition to the general standards described in § 152.045 of this chapter, structures to be located in the SFHA shall be protected from flood damage below the FPG.
(B) This building protection requirement applies to the following situations:
(1) Construction or placement of a residential structure;
(2) Construction or placement of a nonresidential structure;
(3) Addition or improvement made to an existing structure where the cost of the addition or improvement equals or exceeds 50% of the value of the existing structure (excluding the value of the land). An addition and/or improvement project that is continuous in scope or time is considered as one project for permitting purposes;
(4) Reconstruction or repairs made to a damaged structure where the costs of restoring the structure to its before-damaged condition equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure (excluding the value of the land) before damage occurred (the costs of any proposed additions or improvements beyond restoring the damaged structure to its before-damaged condition must be included in the cost);
(5) Installing a travel trailer or recreational vehicle on a site for more than 180 days; and
(6) Installing a manufactured home on a new site or a new manufactured home on an existing site. This chapter does not apply to returning an existing manufactured home to the same site it lawfully occupied before it was removed to avoid flood damage, provided it is returned within 180 days of the subsidence of floodwaters in the area of such site.
