§ 50-178  FLOODWAY.
   Located within areas of special flood hazard as established in § 50-172 hereof are areas designated as floodway. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
   (a)   Prohibited encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development unless a technical evaluation demonstrates that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge; and
   (b)   If § 50-177 is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of § 50-178.
