Base flood elevation Note: Existing text to be deleted and replaced by the definition of flood-resistant construction elevation in Section 64-11
The base flood elevation is the level in feet of the flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year, as indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Base plane The base plane is a plane from which the height of a building or other structure is measured as specified in certain Sections. For buildings, portions of buildings with street walls at least 15 feet in width, or building segments within 100 feet of a street line, the level of the base plane is any level between curb level and street wall line level. Beyond 100 feet of a street line, the level of the base plane is the average elevation of the final grade adjoining the building or building segment, determined in the manner prescribed by the New York City Building Code for adjoining grade elevation. In either case, in the flood zone, either the base flood elevation may be the level of the base plane or building height may be measured from the flood-resistant construction elevation, as provided in Article VI, Chapter 4. For the purposes of this definition, abutting buildings on a single zoning lot may be considered a single building. In addition, the following regulations shall apply:
a
Within 100 feet of a street line:
1

The level of the base plane for a building or building segment without a street wall shall be determined by the average elevation of the final grade adjoining such building or building segment.

2

Where a base plane other than curb level is established, the average elevation of the final grade adjoining the street wall of the building or building segment, excluding the entrance to a garage within the street wall, shall not be lower than the level of the base plane, unless the base plane is also the base flood elevation.

3

Where the average elevation of the final grade adjoining the street wall of the building, excluding the entrance to a garage within the street wall, is
