The provisions of this title shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare of the Town.

Whenever the provisions of this title are found to be in irreconcilable conflict with the provisions of any other ordinances, the provisions of this title shall govern, unless such other ordinance is clearly intended as an amendment or repeal thereof. Provided, however, that the procedural provisions in WMC Title 14A shall govern over procedural provisions of this title.

The Mayor, or his or her designee, acting on his or her own initiative or in response to a written inquiry, may issue interpretations of any of the provisions of this title. A written inquiry by someone other than town staff shall be accompanied with the appropriate fee as specified in Section 3.32.010 in effect at the time the inquiry is submitted. An interpretation of the provisions of this title clarifies conflicting or ambiguous wording, or the scope or intent of the provisions of this title. An interpretation of the provisions of this title may not be used to amend this title. An interpretation of any provision of this title will be enforced as if it is part of this title. All interpretations of this title are available for public inspection and copying at the Town Hall during regular business hours. Interpretations shall be based on:

The town shall issue an interpretation within thirty days of the date a request is submitted to the town or return the written inquiry to the party/parties requesting the interpretation with a request for clarification and/or additional information.

Any person who is aggrieved by an interpretation issued by the town may appeal that interpretation within fourteen days of the date of the interpretation. The appellant must file a letter of appeal indicating how the interpretation affects his or her property and presenting all relevant arguments or information on the correctness of the interpretation. The appellant shall include appeal fees as established by the town. The appeal will not be accepted unless it is accompanied by the required fee. An appeal of an interpretation shall be to the Town of Woodway Hearing Examiner in accordance with the provisions contained in WMC Chapter 2.56.

The provisions of this title have been formulated and prepared in accordance with the comprehensive plan and amendments thereto as adopted by the Town.

All new developments within the Town shall be consistent with the provisions of the comprehensive plan, including but not limited to the following:

All construction, including additions, remodeling, alterations and relocation of any building or structure or parts thereof and any use of land in the Town must meet the regulations listed in this title, or amendments to this title, as permitted in the zoning area in which such land, building or structure is located.

All buildings and structures must comply with the setback regulation of the zoning area in which such building or structure is located, as established by this title, or amendments to this title. These setback regulations establish an open space around buildings and structures, and this open space may not be encroached upon or reduced in any manner.

The yard and open spaces provided around a building or structure, as required by this title, shall not be considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building or structure.
