(A) In areas within Zones A1-30 and AE on the community's FIRM with a base flood elevation but where no regulatory floodway has been designated, new construction, substantial improvements, or other development (including fill) shall be prohibited, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point within the community.
(B) Applicants of proposed projects that increase the base flood elevation more than one foot shall obtain from FEMA a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) before the project may be permitted. As soon as possible, but no later than six months after project completion, an application for a letter of map revision (LOMR) shall be submitted by the applicant to FEMA. The applicant is responsible for paying any costs associated with the CLOMR and LOMR process.
