Section 1. Ordinance #1462 is hereby amended by adding new items of
definition under Section 16.52.040 "Definitions" in alphabetical order as

of flooding might be too great. Critical facilities include, but are not
limited to, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, police, fire and emergency
response installations, and installations which produce, use, or store hazar-
dous materials or hazardous waste.
"Manufactured Home" means a structure, transportable in one or more
sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with
or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities.
For flood plain management purposes the term "manufactured home" also includes
park trailers, travel trailers, and other similar vehicles placed on a site
for greater than 180 consecutive days. For insurance purposes the term
"manufactured home" does not include park trailers, travel trailers, and other
similar vehicles.
"Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision" means a parcel (or contiguous
parcels) of land divided two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.
Section 2. Ordinance #1462 and TMC 16.52.050 are hereby amended by
inserting additional language in Section I., 2., second sentence on page 5 of
said ordinance to read as follows: "...The permit shall be for all struc-
tures, including manufactured homes, as set forth..."
Section 3. Ordinance #1462 and TMC 16.52.070 are hereby amended by
adding a new Section A.,l.,e. on page 9 of said ordinance as follows:
e. Anchoring.
1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be
anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure.
2. All manufactured homes must likewise be anchored to prevent
flotation, collapse or lateral movement and shall be installed using methods
and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods may include, but
are not limited to, use of over the -top or frame ties to ground anchors
(Reference FEMA's "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas"

adding new Sections B,3 and B,4 on page 10 of said ordinance as follows:

the base flood plain if no feasible alternative site is available. Critical
facilities constructed within the base flood plain shall have the lowest floor
elevated to three feet or more above the level of the base flood elevation at
the site. Floodproofing and sealing measures must be taken to ensure that
toxic substances will not be displaced by or released into flood waters.
Access routes elevated to or above the level of the base flood plain shall be
provided to all critical facilities to the extent possible.
4. Manufactured Homes. For land use conditions where new manufac-
tured homes (mobile homes shall be considered as one classification of manu-
