HB 2245 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 48-3609 regarding county flood control district regulations and floodplain management requirements.

• Modifies requirements for replacement mobile homes in floodplains by allowing elevation at the base flood elevation OR alternative foundation support using reinforced piers at least 36 inches in height that are securely anchored to resist flotation, collapse and lateral movement.

• Changes terminology from "regulatory flood elevation" to "base flood elevation" in provisions governing mobile home replacement standards.

• Replaces "per cent" with "percent" throughout the statute for consistency in language regarding flood damage thresholds (50 percent).
