This law does not apply to uses and structures which are lawfully in
existence as of the date this chapter becomes effective. Any use which would
otherwise be subject to this chapter that has been discontinued for a period
of one year or more shall be subject to review pursuant to the terms of this

to be in existence, provided that the same has been substantially commenced
as of the effective date of this chapter and fully constructed and completed
within one year from the effective date of this chapter.
This chapter in no way affects the provisions or requirements of other
federal, state, local laws or applicable regulations. This chapter shall be
considered the initial review procedure relative to other local laws and/or
regulations. However, where this chapter is determined to be in conflict with
any other such law or regulation, the more restrictive shall apply. This includes,
but is not limited to, subdivision regulations, sanitary codes, refuse disposal
and junkyard ordinances.
