§ 18-27. Basis for establishing the special flood hazard areas.
Latest version.
The special flood hazard areas identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for
Mohave County, Arizona, and Incorporated Areas," dated November 18, 2009, with accompanying
flood insurance rate maps dated November 18, 2009, and the area of the Colorado River
mapped by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation and subject to
provisions of Public Law 99-450, Colorado River Floodway Act dated October 1992, and
all subsequent amendments and/or revisions, are hereby adopted by reference and declared
to be a part of this article. This flood insurance study and attendant mapping is
the minimum area of applicability of this article and may be supplemented by studies
for other areas which allow implementation of this article and which are recommended
to the floodplain board by the floodplain administrator. The floodplain board, within
its area of jurisdiction, shall delineate (or may, by rule, require developers of
land to delineate) for areas where development is ongoing or imminent, and thereafter
as development becomes imminent, floodplains consistent with the criteria developed
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the director of the ADWR. The flood
insurance study and flood insurance rate map panels are on file at the county flood
control district office, currently physically located at 3250 E. Kino Avenue, Kingman,
AZ 86409.
