- HISTORY
This is the online version of the Zoning Code of Vineyard City, Utah, codified as Title 15 of the Vineyard Municipal Code. It has been placed into its own online book for organizational purposes and ease of use for citizens, developers, city staff and others. This Vineyard Zoning Code book may be referred to herein as "VZC" or "Title 15" of the Vineyard Municipal Code. - CODE STRUCTURE
This book maintains a structure by subject matter using a period-separated numbering system identifying the title, chapter, and section (for example: 1.01.010). This complete set of numbers is designed to aid in searching the book, and to assist in subsequent codification as new legislation is added.- The first number in the sequence (1.01.010) designates the Title level
- The second series of numbers (1.01.010) designates the Chapter level
- The last series (1.01.010) designates the Section level
- TERMS, ACRONYMS, AND REFERENCES
- Vacant titles, chapters, or sections wherein sequential numbers are missing are designed as such for future internal expansion. Levels marked as “(Reserved)” allow for future expansion when/if the need arises.
- This book shall be cited as the Vineyard Special Purpose District book, or “VZC” as an acronym. References herein revealing the acronym “U.C.A.” implies a reference to "Utah Code Annotated".
- To outline, give structure, and more granularly reference the legislation herein, the following list order (or pattern of ascending alphanumeric characters) is used: 1, a, i, (1), (A), (a). Drafting legislation with this list order better reconciles the content in local software and hard copies, with the content in this online code. To forego the naming of each list item and to more granularly reference legislation that employs alphanumeric characters, use “Part” (always capitalized) followed by the desired alphanumeric reference(s), comma separated. For example, “Part 3,a,ii”, specifically references item “ii”, of item “a”, of item “3”—whereas “Part 3” refers more generally to any or all of Part 3’s descendants.
- LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The legislative history beneath a legislation's content identifies the specific legal sources, and may be provided to substantiate the online code. - DISCREPANCIES
Municipal Code Online, Inc., provides a searchable database of a municipality's legislation for easy reference and convenience. VZC is supplemented from time to time with amendments and additions made by Vineyard City. The specific legal sources that comprise VZC have been adapted during the codification process from the original formatting of the official hard copy. During the 2017 transfer process, Vineyard and MCO improved upon the 2015 code standard, giving way to a new numbering and structural format which allows for future expansion. Differences in the numbering or structure between the two, when properly updated, are non-substantive in nature and shall not affect the intent of the legislation. In the event of substantive discrepancies between VZC and any official hard copy, the official hard copy governs.
NOTICE: VZC MAY NOT REFLECT ALL OR THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF LEGISLATION ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS YET TO BE UPDATED ONLINE. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN VZC AND A WRITTEN ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE TYPICALLY GOVERNS. ALSO, VZC MAY NOT REFLECT RULES OR OTHER REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CODE, INCLUDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE CITY RECORDER.
