It is the intent of this ordinance that all questions of interpretation and enforcement shall be first presented to the Zoning Officer, and that such questions shall be presented to the Zoning Board of Adjustment or Planning Board only as required by this ordinance or an appeal from a decision of the Zoning Officer, and that recourse from decisions of the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment shall be in accordance with Article IV of Procedural Ordinance. In case of a conflict between a provision of this ordinance and any other Township, County or State requirement, the most stringent regulation shall apply.

This ordinance shall amend and supplement the Greenwich Township Zoning Ordinance adopted on the sixth day of April, 1976, as subsequently amended. The adoption of this amending ordinance shall not affect the status of zoning permits heretofore issued or any of the terms and conditions thereof, and shall in no way, affect any prior act, ruling or decision of the Zoning Officer, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, or the Governing Body; or any pending appeal or procedure which may, hereafter, be properly instituted to appeal; any prior act, ruling or decision of such Zoning Officer, the Zoning Board of Adjustment or the Governing Body. The standards set forth in this ordinance are minimum standards for each district or class of use building or structure covered thereby.
