(A) In general, buildings and accessory structures should be located entirely out of the floodplain, or on land that is least susceptible to flooding. All structures permitted in the floodplain shall be oriented so as to offer the least resistance to the flow of flood waters. Materials which are buoyant, flammable, explosive, hazardous to health, or which at times of flooding may be injurious to human, animal, or plant life, shall not be stored below the flood protection elevation.
(B) New buildings and structures (including the placement and replacement of manufactured homes) and substantial improvement of existing structures (including manufactured homes) that are located, in whole or in part, in any special flood hazard area shall:
(1) Be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage.
(2) Use flood damage-resistant material below the elevation of the lowest floor required in § 151.056.
