A. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all areas designated as areas of special flood hazard by the Federal Insurance Administration on its current Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM), applicable to and including all areas within the boundaries of the city.

B. The current Federal Insurance Administration (FHBM) No. 410185, dated October 31, 1975, marked Exhibit “A” and attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter and on file in the City Recorder's office, is by this reference made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein at this point.

C. In recognition of the fact that the Federal Insurance Administration may from time to time revise the FHBM applicable to the city or that additional map or maps may be required for identification of flood hazard areas due to annexations or other land acquisitions by the city, the City Council shall have authority upon receipt of due notice by appropriate agency of the United States Government, to substitute, add and/or subtract appropriate FHBM maps by appropriate resolution, making the same applicable hereto.

D. In those concerned areas where base flood elevations are not shown on the FHBM, the Manager herein set forth, shall make reasonable effort to obtain, review and utilize other base flood elevation data that may be available and pertinent from the federal, state or other source, in order to provide the optimum degree of implementation of this chapter, and especially the specific standards hereinafter set forth in Section 15.20.080. (Ord. 1-1981 § 6, 1981.)
