The Building Inspector is hereby designated and authorized as the officer charged with the enforcement of this Zoning Title, but the City Council may, by resolution or ordinance from time to time, entrust such administration, in whole or in part, to any other officer of the City without amendment to this Title. From the time of the effective date hereof, the Building Inspector shall not grant a permit for the construction or alteration of any building or structure if such construction or alteration would be in violation of any of the provisions of this Title; nor shall any City officer grant any permit or license for the use of any building or land if such use would be in violation of this Title. (Zoning Ord.; 1997 Code)

It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to inspect or cause to be inspected all buildings in the course of construction or repair. He shall enforce all of the provisions of this Title, entering actions in the court when necessary. His failure to do so shall not legalize any violation of such provision. The Building Inspector shall not issue any permit unless the plans of and for the proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration or use fully conform to all zoning regulations then in effect. (Zoning Ord.)

   A.   Authority: The City Council may from time to time amend the number, shape, boundaries or area of any district or districts or of any zone, or any regulation of or within such district or districts or zones, or any other provision of this Title, but any such amendment shall not be made or become effective unless the same shall have been proposed by or be first submitted for the approval, disapproval, or suggestions of the Planning Commission, and if disapproved by such Commission, within thirty (30) days after such submission, such amendment to be effective shall receive the favorable vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the City Council.

   B.   Public Hearing Required: Before finally adopting any such amendment, the City Council shall hold a public hearing thereon, at least fifteen (15) days' notice of the time and place of which shall be given by at least one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the County. (Zoning Ord.)

All departments, officials and public employees of the City which are vested with the duty or authority to issue permits or licenses shall conform to the provisions of this Title and shall issue no such permit or licenses for uses, buildings or other purposes where the same would be in conflict with the provisions of this Title, and any such permit or license, if issued in conflict with the provisions of this Title shall be null and void. (Zoning Ord.)

Any person, whether as principal or agent, employed or otherwise, violating, or causing or permitting the violation of any of the provisions of this Title shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and subject to penalty as provided in Section 1-4-1 of this Code. Such person shall be deemed to be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day during which any portion of any violation of this Chapter is committed, continued or permitted by such person and shall be punishable as herein provided. (Zoning Ord.; 1997 Code)
