  Construction or substantial improvement shall not involve the use of fill for structural support of buildings.

• Fire-resistant construction requirements

  Structures shall be constructed with appropriate features and building materials, including fire-resistant exterior materials, windows and roofing; and eaves and vents that resist the intrusion of flame and burning embers.

  All fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor subject to flooding shall have at least two openings no more than one foot above grade with a total net area of at least one square inch per square foot of flooded area.

• Allowed uses in floodway

  Open recreation uses, such as public parks; other uses that do not cause cumulative increase in water surface elevation of base flood more than one foot; bridges consistent with subsection A.3 of Section 22.44.1340.

• Horizontal seismic coefficient for pseudostatic analysis0.15 g

  The effects of earthquakes on slope stability may be addressed through pseudostatic slope analyses assuming a horizontal seismic coefficient of 0.15g.

• Indemnification for wildfire hazard

  Property owner shall submit a signed document indemnifying the County against liability arising from wildfire hazards.

• Maximum permanent displacement50 mm

  Seismic analyses may be performed by the pseudostatic method, but in any case shall demonstrate a permanent displacement of less than 50 mm.
