No new manufactured home parks or manufactured home subdivisions shall be allowed within a Special Flood Hazard Area (except that where real estate located within a Special Flood Hazard Area which is a part of such Manufactured Home Park or subdivision and upon which no development has occurred can be considered as “open space” within such park or subdivision). In addition, manufactured home parks and manufactured home subdivisions existing on the date of original enactment (July 5, 2005) of this Subpart A may not be expanded. All other subdivisions or other residential development located wholly or in part within a Special Flood Hazard Area shall:

  • Be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
  • Have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage;
  • Have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and,
  • Have Base Flood Elevation (BFE) data provided if development is greater than the lesser of five (5) acres or 50 lots / manufactured/mobile home sites. Such Base Flood Elevation (BFE) data shall be adopted by reference in accord with §42-233.2 (Basis for Establishing the Special Flood Hazard Areas) in implementing this Subpart A.
