The areas of special flood hazard are identified by the Federal Insurance Administration, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a scientific study and engineering report entitled, “The Flood Insurance Study for the City of Bakersfield,” effective May 1, 1985, with the accompanying flood insurance rate map (including future amendments thereto) which is adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this section. The various flood insurance studies, flood insurance rate maps and flood boundary and floodway maps and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions which are hereby adopted by reference are on file at the office of the city engineer, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California. The federal insurance study and attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are recommended to the Bakersfield city council by the floodplain administrator.
