§ 35-F108. Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood Hazards.

The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the current scientific and engineering report entitled, "The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Bexar County dated September 29, 2010", with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and any revisions thereto are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on its Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), currently published for the City of San Antonio and surrounding counties shall be used as the controlling study for the base flood within the city limits of San Antonio and its ETJ unless a more current study is required by the floodplain administrator. These reports and maps are available for inspection by the public in the office of the city drainage engineer. Information and studies sanctioned and adopted by the floodplain administrator or by city council subsequent to publication of the Flood Insurance Study and associated FIRM which update the base flood elevations, floodplain boundaries or flows shall also be used for control.
