The terms "structure" and <br />"building" are interchangeable in the NFIP. Residential and non-residential structures are treated differently. <br />A residential building built in a floodplain must be elevated above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). <br />Non-residential buildings may be elevated or floodproofed. <br />NFIP Requirement <br />• 60.3 - Flood plain management criteria for flood-prone areas <br />o (a) (4) - Subdivision Review <br />o (b) (3) - BFE Data Requirement <br />Other Applicable NFIP Regulations <br />• 59.1 - Definition <br />• 60.3 - Flood plain management criteria for flood-prone areas <br />o (a) (1) - Development Permit <br />o (a) (3) - Reasonably Safe From Flooding <br />o (c) (2) - A Zone Residential Buildings <br />o (c) (3) - A Zone Nonresidential Buildings <br />o (c) (7) - Zone AO Residential Buildings <br />o (c) (8) - Zone AO Residential Buildings <br />o (e) (4) - V Zone Structures <br />Guidance <br />• IS-9 Managing Floodplain Development Through The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) (page <br />5-28) (PDF 8MB, TXT 1MB) (entire document)
