Asbury Park Chapter 24 (Flood Damage Prevention), adopted as Ordinance 2022-7, establishes comprehensive floodplain management. The city acknowledges that NJ standards may be more expansive and restrictive than FEMA minimums. All development in flood hazard areas requires a floodplain development permit. New construction must be elevated to or above the Local Design Flood Elevation per ASCE 24 standards. Floodway encroachments require hydrologic/hydraulic analysis proving no increase in base flood levels — new buildings are generally prohibited in floodways. Group U structures (sheds, garages, fences over 6 feet, carports) must also meet elevation requirements. Fences in floodways must allow water and debris passage. Sand dune alteration requires NJDEP CZM permits. The city participates in NFIP. Flood maps are on file at City Clerk, One Municipal Plaza.
Development without permit: stop-work order. Floodway encroachment: NJDEP enforcement. Non-elevated construction: must be remediated.
