The Building Inspector shall review all building permits and applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new construction or substantial improvement (including prefabricated and mobile homes) must:
(A) Be designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure;
(B) Use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage; and
(C) Use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.
