(A) The floodplain management criteria contained in rule 1501:22-1-04 of the Administrative Code shall apply to all counties and municipal corporations containing coastal flood hazard areas which are not participating in the national flood insurance program. Such communities shall adopt resolutions or ordinances governing development within the coastal flood hazard areas which meet or exceed the standards of rule 1501:22-1-04 of the Administrative Code.
