The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter, and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are recommended to the Floodplain Board by the Floodplain Administrator. The Floodplain Board, within its area of jurisdiction, shall delineate (or may by rule require developers of land to delineate) for areas where development is ongoing or imminent, and thereafter as development becomes imminent, floodplains consistent with the criteria developed by FEMA and the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The Flood Insurance Study, FIRMs and FBFMs are on file at 303 North Beeline Highway, Payson, Arizona, in the office of the Town Engineer.
