Each article, section, subsection, requirement, regulation or restriction established by this chapter or any amendment thereto is hereby declared to be independent, and if any part of this chapter shall be held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other part of this chapter.

(Ord. passed 10-30-06)

   In their interpretation and application the provisions of this chapter shall be construed to be minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. Wherever the requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations, ordinances, deed restrictions, or covenants, the more restrictive of those imposing the higher standards, shall govern.

(Ord. passed 10-30-06)

   This chapter shall take effect upon its adoption and all ordinances or any parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith shall be repealed; provided, nevertheless, that the provisions of this chapter are substituted for the prior zoning ordinance and are to be considered as a continuance and modification to the prior ordinance rather than as an abrogation of the prior ordinance and a re-enactment of a new ordinance.
