Within any floodway area, no encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, or other development shall be permitted unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis ... that the proposed encroachment will not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
The AE zones on the FIRM accompanying the FIS shall be those areas for which one percent annual chance flood elevations have been provided and the floodway has not been delineated. ... New construction or substantial improvement of any residential structure ... shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the base flood elevation plus 18 inches.
