However, the easement area must remain free of permanent structures under the terms of the easement instrument, and this constraint must be observed during design development and construction

Below-grade elements (such as foundation walls, caissons, or below-grade parking structures) may extend beyond the above-grade footprint and must also comply with setback requirements

Specifically, any new construction or substantial improvement within the Zone AE area must be designed and constructed to comply with the following: (a) All new construction must have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated to or above the BFE of 9 feet NAVD88, or must be designed with adequate floodproofing measures

(b) Materials used below the BFE must be flood-resistant

(c) Construction must not reduce the flood-carrying capacity of the floodplain

(d) A development permit must be obtained from the Baltimore City Floodplain Administrator prior to any construction within the Zone AE area
