(1) encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other developments are prohibited, unless certification, with supporting technical data, by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during occurrence of the base flood discharge;

(2) If sections 90-62 through 90-65 are satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction sections of this division; and

(3) The placement of manufactured homes (mobile homes) is prohibited, except in an existing manufactured home (mobile home) park or subdivision. A replacement manufactured home may be placed on a lot in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision, provided the anchoring standards of section 90-61 and the elevation and encroachment standards of sections 90-62 through 90-65 are met.
