In their interpretation and application, the
provisions of this chapter shall be deemed minimum requirements, adopted
for the promotion of the public health, safety, or the general welfare.
Whenever the requirements of this chapter are inconsistent with the
requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations, ordinances,
or local laws, the more restrictive provisions, or those imposing
the higher standards, shall govern, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
[Amended 5-11-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010, effective 5-20-2010]
No site plan or special use permit shall be
approved, no building permit or certificate of occupancy issued, or
variance granted under this chapter for any premises upon which there
is an existing violation of this chapter or any related Town, county,
or state regulation governing either building construction or the
use of land and structures within the Town of Clinton. This limitation
does not, however, prohibit such an approval, issuance, or grant with
respect to a legal nonconforming use or legal nonconforming structure.
This chapter shall be known as and may be cited
as the "Town of Clinton Zoning Law.”
