If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall:
A. Be designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.
B. Be constructed:
(1) With materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage.
(2) Using methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
(3) With electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
