17.08.150 <br /> 441 (Pleasanton Supp. No. 28, 7-22) <br />D. Obtain and maintain for public inspection and make available as needed: <br />1. The certification required in Section 17.08.150(C)(1) (floor elevations); <br />2. The certification required in Section 17.08.150(C)(2) (elevations in areas of shallow flooding); <br />3. The certification required in Section 17.08.150(C)(3)(c) (elevation or floodproofing of nonresidential struc- <br />tures); <br />4. The certification required in Section 17.08.150(C)(4)(a) or 17.08.150(C)(4)(b) (wet floodproofing stan- <br />dard); <br />5. The certified elevation required in Section 17.08.170(B) (subdivision standards); <br />6. The certification required in Section 17.08.190(A) (floodway encroachments). <br />E. Make interpretations where needed, as to the exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards <br />(for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The <br />person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation <br />as provided in Section 17.08.200. <br />F. Take action to remedy violations of this chapter as specified in Section 17.08.080. (Ord. 1951 § 1 (Exh. A), 2007; <br />Ord. 1374 § 2 (part), 1989) <br /> <br />17.08.150 Standards—Construction. <br />In all areas of special flood hazards, the following standards are required: <br />A. Anchoring. <br />1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lat- <br />eral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of <br />buoyancy. <br />2. All manufactured homes shall meet the anchoring standards of Section 17.08.180. <br />B. Construction Materials and Methods. <br />1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equip- <br />ment resistant to flood damage. <br />2. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that <br />minimize flood damage. <br />3. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, <br />air-conditioning, plumbing, duct systems, and other equipment and service facilities shall be elevated at or <br />above one foot above the base flood elevation, with the exception of: electrical systems, equipment and <br />components; heating, ventilating, air conditioning; plumbing appliances and plumbing fixtures; duct sys- <br />tems; and other service equipment that are designed and installed to prevent water from entering or accu- <br />mulating within the components and to resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and stresses, including <br />the effects of buoyancy, during the occurrence of flooding to the design flood elevation. <br />4. Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide floodwaters <br />around and away from proposed structures. <br />C. Elevation and Floodproofing. <br />1. New construction and substantial improvement of any structure shall have the lowest floor, including <br />basement, elevated to or above one foot higher than the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may <br />meet the standards in subsection (C)(3) of this section. Upon completion of the structure, the elevation of <br />the lowest floor, including basement, shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or <br />verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification <br />shall be provided to the floodplain administrator.
