§ 82.14.020 Location Requirements.
   (a)   Establishment of Flood Hazard Areas. The FP Overlay Areas described in § 82.14.040 (Floodplain Safety Review Areas) are applied to areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study for San Bernardino County, California, and Incorporated Areas," dated May 8, 2024, and all subsequent amendments and revisions thereto, and the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and all subsequent amendments and revisions to such maps; which documents are hereby adopted by reference as a part of these regulations and serve as the basis for establishing flood hazard areas. The most current copies of the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and the FIRMs are on file at the Department of Public Works.
   (b)   FIS establishes the minimum areas to which the FP Overlays may be applied. Subsequent reports and maps may identify additional flood hazard areas, with the possibility of adding, removing, or updating areas as directed by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District or other governmental agencies, such as the Corps of Engineers.
