In interpreting and applying the provisions of this title, the provisions and standards contained herein shall be deemed to be the minimum standards or requirements with which compliance is essential to the permitted uses, and shall not be construed as limiting the legislative authority of the city council to further restrict permissive uses or to withhold or revoke permits for uses where, notwithstanding the existence of the minimum standards set forth in this title, the promotion or protection of the public health, morals, safety and welfare bears a substantial relation to such withholding, denial or revocation of permits or uses.

Where this title imposes a greater restriction upon land, buildings, or structures than is imposed or required by other rules, regulations, standards, policies, ordinances, contracts, covenants public or private, deeds, or statutes lawfully adopted by the city of Grandview, the provisions of this title shall govern and take precedent. In the case of conflicts between the text, maps and tables of this title, the text shall govern unless otherwise stated.

It shall be the duty of the public works director to enforce this title through proper legal channels. No permits shall be issued for the construction, alteration, or repair of any building or part thereof unless such plans and intended use of such buildings or land conforms in all respects with the provisions of this title. Monetary penalties for violations may be assessed in accordance with GMC Title 14.

Nothing contained in this title shall be deemed to be a consent, license, or permit to use any property or to locate, construct, or maintain any structure or facility or to carry on any trade, industry, occupation or activity.

Whenever a violation of this title occurs, or is alleged to have occurred, any person may file a written complaint. Such complaint stating fully the causes and basis thereof shall be filed with the public works director. The public works director shall record properly such complaint, immediately investigate, and take action thereon as provided by this title.
