- The lowest floors of structure category II buildings and structures shall be at or above the elevation specified in ASCE 24 or 1 foot (305 mm) above the design flood elevation, whichever is higher.
- The lowest floors of structure category III and IV buildings and structures in flood hazard areas not subject to high velocity wave action (zone A) shall be at or above the elevation specified in ASCE 24 or 1 foot (305 mm) above the 500-year flood elevation, whichever is higher. For the purpose of this requirement, the 500-year flood elevation is the elevation of flooding having a 0.2% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.
