What applies to Accessory Structures regarding floodproofing?

  1. Must be fully enclosed with rigid walls.

  2. Require no openings for floodwater entry and exit.

  3. Use is limited to parking or storage with specific floodproofing criteria.

  4. Accredited by FEMA for providing base flood protection.

The correct answer is: Use is limited to parking or storage with specific floodproofing criteria.

Accessory structures, such as garages or sheds, are separate from the main structure on a property and have specific guidelines for floodproofing. A does not apply because accessory structures are not required to have fully enclosed walls. B is incorrect because some openings may be necessary for entering and exiting the structure. D does not apply because FEMA accreditation is not required for accessory structures. An accessory structure with specific floodproofing criteria may be used for purposes such as parking or storage, making C the correct answer.
