(A) The Building Official shall review all permit applications to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding.
(B) If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, the Building Official shall require that all new construction and substantial improvements (including the placement of manufactured homes) are:
(1) Designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent floatation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy;
(2) Constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
(3) Constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; and
(4) Constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
