The special flood hazard areas identified by FEMA in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for the County of Maricopa and Incorporated Areas" dated October 16, 2013 with accompanying FIRMs dated October 16, 2013, and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions, are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. The FIS and attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter 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 FEMA and the Director of Water Resources. The FIS and FIRM panels are on file at City Hall, 190 N. Litchfield Rd., Goodyear, Arizona 85338. (Prior Code, § 16-3-2) (Am. Ord. 05-956, passed 8-22-2005; Am. Ord. 20-1478, passed 8-24-2020)
