In all areas of special flood hazards, the following standards are required: A. Anchoring. 1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. 2. All manufactured homes shall meet the anchoring standards of Section 17.08.180. B. Construction Materials and Methods. 1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. 2. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. 3. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, plumbing, duct systems, and other equipment and service facilities shall be elevated at or above one (1) foot above the base flood elevation, with the exception of: electrical systems, equipment and components; heating, ventilating, air conditioning; plumbing appliances and plumbing fixtures; duct systems; and other service equipment that are designed and installed to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components and to resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and stresses, including the effects of buoyancy, during the occurrence of flooding to the design flood elevation. 4. Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures. C. Elevation and Floodproofing. 1. New construction and substantial improvement of any structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above one (1) foot higher than the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in subsection (C)(3) of this section. Upon completion of the structure, the elevation of the lowest floor, including basement, shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the floodplain administrator. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in subsection (C)(3) of this section. Upon the completion of the structure, the elevation of the lowest floor, including basement, shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the floodplain administrator. 2. New construction and substantial improvement of any structure in Zone AO of AH shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one (1) foot above the depth number specified on the FIRM or the highest adjacent grade, or at least three (3) feet if no depth number is specified. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in subsection (C)(3) of this section. Upon completion of the forms for the structure's foundation, and prior to pouring the foundation, the elevation of the lowest floor, including basement, shall be certified by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor, and verified by the building division, to be properly elevated. Such certification and verification shall be provided to the
