County floodplain and alluvial fan maps and the FEMA issued FIRMs, originally dated June 15, 1984, "Flood Insurance Study: San Diego County, California and Incorporated Areas," dated June 19, 1997 and FBFM for the County of San Diego and all subsequent revisions thereto are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. All map revisions must be approved by FEMA through its map revision process. County floodplain maps shall be retired in the location of the revision upon completion of a FEMA map revision. The County floodplain and alluvial fan maps may be supplemented by studies for other areas which follow implementation of this ordinance and which are recommended to the Board of Supervisors by the Floodplain Administrator. In case of conflict(s) between the County floodplain maps, County alluvial fan maps, FIRM, Flood Insurance Study, or FBFM, the more stringent of restrictions shall prevail and be deemed to govern.
