The certification required in Section 17.08.150(C)(4)(a) or 17.08.150(C)(4)(b) (wet floodproofing standard), 5. The certified elevation required in Section 17.08.170(8) (subdivision stan- dards), 6. The certification required in Section 17.08.190(A) (floodway encroachments). E. Make interpretations where needed, as to the exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards (for ex- ample, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the inter- pretation as provided in Section 17.08.200. F. Take action to remedy violations of this chapter as specified in Section 17.08.080. (Ord. 1951 § 1 (Exh. A), 2007; Ord. 1374 § 2 (part), 1989) 17.08.150 Standards--Construction. 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, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from enter- ing or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. 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, ele- vated to or above the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in Section 17.08.150(C)(3). Upon completion of the structure, the ele- vation of the lowest floor, including base- ment, shall be certified by a registered pro- fessional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the Flood- plain Administrator. 2. New construction and substantial improvement of any structure in Zone AO shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated above the highest adja- cent grade at least as high as the depth number specified on the FIRM, or at least two (2) feet if no depth number is speci- fied. Nonresidential structures may meet 433 (Pleasanton Supp. Ho. 19.9-0~>
