§ 18-32. Basic wind speed.

Section 1606.1.6 of the Florida Building Code, as it pertains to the city, is hereby amended to reads as follows: For the purpose of complying with the structural requirements related to wind loads, all buildings and structures shall be designed for a minimum wind load of 110 mph in accordance with Figure 1606*. With regard to compliance with criteria relating to protection from wind borne debris, this city is deemed to be located landward of the 110 mph wind contour line in Figure 1606 and therefore, buildings within the city are not required to have openings protected from wind borne debris in excess of 110 mph except for critical facilities which voluntarily provide protection of openings from wind borne debris.
