BOOK 24 Section 7. That Article Thirteen, Flood Hazard Area Regulations, Subsection 13.8.1, GENERAL STANDARDS, be updated and rewritten to include the two following new subsections, 13.1.8.15 and 13.1.8.16: 13.1.8.15 When a structure is partially located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the entire structure shall meet the requirements for new construction and substantial improvements. 13.1.8.16 When a structure is located in multiple flood hazard zones or in a flood hazard risk zone with multiple base flood elevations, the provisions for the more restrictive flood hazard risk zone and the highest Base Flood Elevation (BFE) shall apply. Section S. That Article Thirteen, Flood Hazard Area Regulations, Subsection 13.8.2.1, be rewritten as follows: 13.8.2.1 In all Special Flood Hazard Areas where Base Flood Elevation (BFE) data has been provided, as set forth in Section 13.3.2, or Section 13.5.1 (k) and (1), the following provisions, in addition to Section 13.8.1are required: Section 9. That Article Thirteen, Flood Hazard Area Regulations, Subsection 13.8.4.1.2, be updated and rewritten to include a new subsection (d) as follows: (d) When floodway or non- encroachment data is available from a Federal, State, or other source, all new construction and substantial improvements within floodway and nor)- encroachment areas shall also comply with the requirements of 13.8.2 and 13.8.6.

STANDARDS FOR AREAS OF SHALLOW FLOODING (ZONE AO) Located within the Special Flood Hazard Areas established in Section 13.3.2, are areas designated as shallow flooding areas. These areas have special flood hazards associated with base flood depths of one (1) to three (3) feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate. In addition to Section 13.8.1, all new construction and substantial improvements shall meet the following requirements: (a) The reference level shall be elevated at least as high as the depth number specified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM); or at least two feet above the highest adjacent grade if no depth number is specified. (b) Non- residential structures may, in lieu of elevation, be floodproofed to the same level as required in 13.9.3(a) so that the structure, together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, below that level shall be watertight_ with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic
