"Violation" means the failure of a structure or other development to be <br /> <br /> fully compliant with the community's floodplain management reQUlations. A <br /> <br /> structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other <br /> <br /> certifications, or other evidence of compliance with this chapter is presumed to be <br /> <br /> in violation until such time as that documentation is provided. <br /> "Water surface elevation" means the height, in relation to the National <br /> <br /> Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, (or other datum, where specified) of floods of <br /> <br /> various magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal or riverine areas. <br /> [(g3~] "Watercourse" means a lake, river, creek, stream, wash, arroyo, channel, <br /> <br /> or other topogaphic feature on or over which waters flow at least periodically. <br /> <br /> Watercourse includes specifically designated areas in which substantial damage <br /> <br /> may occur. <br /> [(b4j] "Zone A" is the special flood hazazd azea that corresponds to the <br /> one-hundred-year floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by <br /> approximate methods. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for <br /> such areas, base flood elevations or depths have not been determined within this <br /> <br /> zone. <br /> [(~j] "Zone AE" is the special flood hazazd area that corresponds to the <br /> <br /> one-hundred-year floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by <br /> <br /> detailed methods. Whole-foot base flood elevations derived from the detailed <br /> <br /> hydraulic analyses have been determined at selected intervals within this zone. <br /> "Zone AH" is the special flood hazard area that corresponds to the areas of <br /> one-hundred-year shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average <br /> depths are between one and three feet. Whole-foot base flood elevations derived <br /> from the detailed hydraulic analyses have been determined at selected intervals <br /> within this zone. <br /> [(§~j] "Zone AO" is the special flood hazard area that corresponds to the azeas of <br /> one-hundred-year shallow flooding (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain) where <br /> average depths are between one and three feet. Average whole-foot depths <br /> derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses have been determined within this <br /> zone. <br /> [(g8~] "Zone A99" is the special flood hazard area where enough progress has <br /> <br /> been made on a protective system, such as dikes, dams, and levees, to consider it <br /> complete for insurance rating purposes. Base flood elevations have not been <br /> determined for areas designated as Zone A99. <br /> [(69}] "Zone V" is the special flood hazard area that corresponds to the <br /> one-hundred-year coastal floodplains extending from offshore to the inland limit <br /> of a primary frontal dune along an open coast and any other area subject to high <br /> velocity wave action from storms or seismic sources. It is an azea subject to high <br /> <br /> velocity waters, including coastal and tidal inundation or tsunamis. Base flood <br /> elevations have not been determined for areas designated as Zone V. <br /> [(~8j] "Zone VE" is the special flood hazard area that corresponds to the <br /> one-hundred-year coastal floodplains extending from offshore to the inland limit <br /> of a primazy frontal dune along an open coast and any other area subject to high <br /> velocity wave action from storms or seismic sources. It is an area subject to high <br /> velocity waters, including coastal and tidal inundation or tsunamis. Whole-foot <br /> 11 <br /> <br />
