(a) Where disputes arise as to the location of the flood hazard area boundary or the limits of the floodway, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall resolve the dispute and establish the boundary. In all cases, the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals shall be based upon the most current flood plain studies issued by the Federal Insurance Administration. Where Federal Insurance Administration information is not available, the best available flood plain information shall be utilized.
(b) Where a dispute involves an allegation that the boundary is incorrect as mapped and Federal Insurance Administration flood plain studies are being questioned, the Board of Appeals shall modify the boundary of the flood hazard area or the floodway only upon receipt of an official letter of map amendment issued by the Federal Insurance Administration.
(c) All parties to a map dispute may submit technical evidence to the Board of Appeals.
