   If a proposed building site is located in a flood-prone area, the following standards must be met:
   (A)   Anchoring. All new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall be designed or modified to be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.
   (B)   Construction materials and methods.
      (1)   All new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
      (2)   All new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
      (3)   All new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
