In all areas of special flood hazards the following provisions are required.
(a) All new construction or substantial improvements shall 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) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
(c) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage.
(d) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed or located at least two feet above the fully developed base flood elevation so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
(e) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system.
(f) All new and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharge from the systems into flood waters.
(g) All new and replacement on-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
(h) All new parking lots shall be designed to not exceed 12 inches of water depth during the fully developed base flood unless provisions have been made to remove motor vehicles during flood events.
