10-1-31: STANDARDS FOR CRITICAL STRUCTURES:

Critical structures are not authorized in a special flood hazard area, unless:

   A.   All alternative locations in Flood Zone X have been considered and rejected.

   B.   All alternative locations in Flood Zone Shaded X have been considered and rejected.

If the Flood Plain Administrator determines the only practical alternative location for the development of a new or substantially improved critical structure is in a special flood hazard area he must give public notice of the decision and reasons for the elimination of all alternative locations.
