At such time, the structure must comply with the Carteret County Flood Damage Prevention and Protection Ordinance and FEMA requirements. This shall include elevating the structure in the existing footprint to meet the required base flood elevation. Any construction outside the existing footprint must meet the required setbacks.

2.3.

Substantially-damaged structures: Substantially-damaged structures, as defined by the County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (damaged more than 50 percent of the structural value), could be replaced in existing building footprint.

In order to be replaced on the existing building footprint, a complete application must be submitted within two years from the date the structure was damaged or destroyed. If deemed incomplete due to the need for additional technical information, the applicant shall have no longer than 90 days to supply that information to the planning department or the application will be null and void.
