SECTION 10: Section 7-24 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended such that it reads as follows: Sec. 7-24. General standards for new construction or improvement of structures. No permit for new construction or substantial improvements of structures (including the placement of prefabricated buildings and manufactured homes) shall be approved in the A, AO or AE zones unless all of the following standards are met: (1) The structure must be designed or modified and adequately anchored, to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. (2) The structure must be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage. (3) The structure must be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage. (4) The structure must 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 entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. SECTION 11: Section 7-25 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended such that it reads at follows: Sec. 7-25. General development standards. No permit shall be issued for any proposed development, including manufactured home parks or subdivisions, in the A, AO or AE zones until reviewed by the executive director of public works and approved by him as satisfying the following standards, unless it clearly appears to the deputy city manager for development services that the development is of such a minor or limited nature that it will not have any significant adverse effect on the maintenance of such standards: (1) The proposed development must be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the A, AO and AE zones. No mobile home shall be placed in a floodway except in an existing mobile home park or existing mobile home subdivision. (2) All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas electrical and water systems must be located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage. (3) Adequate drainage must be provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards. Within the AO and AE zones, adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes must be provided to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures. Ordinance No. NS-2631 Page 6 of 13
