No permit shall be issued for any structure in Zone A or Zone AE unless the lowest floor of said structure shall be above the base flood elevation as determined by the St. Helena Parish Floodplain Administrator.

Permanent electrical power shall not be allowed for any structure that lies in Flood Zone A or AE unless the required certification by a registered surveyor or engineer is presented to the parish or its designated agent.

Floodways: Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodways unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
