The following minimum provisions relating to types of industry and architecture must be complied with:

    A.    Plans of all proposed buildings must be submitted to the building inspector for approval prior to commencement of construction to assure compliance with all appropriate building construction requirements of the building code; the zoning code, if applicable; the National Flood Insurance Standards; and all provisions of this chapter.

    B.    All buildings must have a sprinkler system for fire protection or be constructed in accordance with the applicable use group of the BOCA Building Code.

    C.    The exteriors on all sides of buildings shall be constructed of materials considered first-class exterior finish. In the case of expansion walls only, standard concrete blocks will be allowed as the finish of an exterior wall, except that such finish shall not be allowed on street exposed walls. Stucco is not considered a first-class finish for purposes of this chapter.

    D.    All structures (except motor vehicle storage or other outside storage structures) must be elevated one foot above or flood-proofed above the base flood elevation (one hundred (100) year flood).

    E.    No construction shall be allowed in a floodway, nor shall any construction be allowed in any natural ponding area necessary to store stormwater runoff, which would reduce storage capacity and induce flooding in other areas unless the stormwater collected in such ponding areas is diverted to manmade detention areas of sufficient size to hold such diverted waters.

    F.    All outside storage facilities must be appropriately screened on all sides. (Prior code § 19-1-5)
