The applicant shall provide at least the following information, where applicable. Additional information may be required on the permit application forms.
A. The proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) of all residential and nonresidential structures whether new or substantially improved to be located in zones A, A1-A30, AE, and AH, if base flood elevation data is available.
B. In zone AO the proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) and the elevation of the highest adjacent grade of all residential and nonresidential structures, whether new or substantially improved.
C. The proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, to which any new or substantially improved nonresidential structure will be floodproofed.
D. A certificate from a licensed professional engineer or architect in the state of Nevada that any utility floodproofing meets the criteria in section 13-1-5-2, "Standards For Utilities", of this chapter.
E. A certificate from a licensed professional engineer or architect in the state of Nevada that any nonresidential floodproofed structures meet the criteria in subsection 13-1-5-1E, "Nonresidential Floodproofing Requirements", of this chapter.
F. When a watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of the proposed development, the applicant must submit the maps, computations, and other materials required by the federal emergency management agency (FEMA) to process a letter of map revision (LOMR) and pay any fees or other costs assessed by FEMA for processing the revision.
G. Filing an LOMR will require computations prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Nevada that demonstrate the altered or relocated watercourse segment will provide equal or greater conveyance than the original stream segment. The city engineer will not provide this service as the city must independently review the application. The applicant must also provide assurances that the conveyance capacity of the altered or relocated stream will be maintained. Detailed requirements for preparing an LOMR are available in FEMA forms.
H. A technical analysis, by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Nevada, showing the proposed development located in the special flood hazard area will not cause physical damage to any other property. This analysis will not be provided by the city engineer.
I. When there is no base flood elevation data available from any source, the base flood elevation data will be provided by the permit applicant and the applicant's engineer that is appropriately licensed in the state of Nevada. Developments equal to or exceeding fifty (50) lots or five (5) acres must have base flood elevations determined by a Nevada licensed professional engineer or professional land surveyor.
