Editor’s note–Section 3 of Ordinance 05-32, adopted December 19, 2005, specifically renumbers section 14, “SP” specific use permit district, as section 16, and section 4 of that same ordinance specifically renumbers section 16, “FP” floodplain subdistrict, as section 17. However, Ordinance 05-32 and no subsequent ordinance make any provisions for renumbering existing section 17, roofing. To avoid duplication and confusion, the editor has renumbered section 17, roofing as section [18] roofing.
