The special flood hazard areas identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Pima County, Arizona, and Incorporated Areas" dated September 28, 2012, with any accompanying flood insurance rate maps (FIRM) and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions thereto are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. The FIS is on file with the floodplain section of the Engineering Division at the Planning and Development Services Department. The FIS and FIRM are the minimum areas and standards of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other flood hazard areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are approved by the city engineer, and may be recommended to the floodplain board and FEMA. All river and basin management plans, or other land use plans approved by the mayor and council, are hereby incorporated into this chapter and made a part thereof by reference. Engineering drainage design standards, approved by the city engineer as revised on an ongoing basis to include the most current practices and methodologies, will be used in creating river and basin management plans.
