  Municipalities may not change the limits of the floodplain or the floodway, floodfringe, shallow depth flooding, flood storage or the coastal floodplain district without first amending the applicable portions of the water surface profiles, floodplain zoning maps and floodplain zoning ordinances in accordance with s.
