This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Zoning
Ordinance of the Township of Liberty."
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion
of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. Among other
purposes, the provisions of this chapter are intended to provide for
adequate light, air and convenience of access; to lessen congestion
in the streets; to secure safety from fire and other dangers; to avoid
undue concentration of population by regulating and limiting the use
of land and the height and bulk of buildings wherever erected; to
limit and determine the size of yards and other open spaces; to regulate
the density of population; and to conserve the value of property,
encourage the most appropriate use of land, conserve and protect natural
resources and enhance the natural and manmade beauty throughout the
Township of Liberty.
It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul
or in any way to impair or interfere with existing provisions of other
ordinances, except those specifically repealed by this chapter, or
with private restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant or
other agreements. However, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction
upon land, buildings or structures than is imposed by existing provisions
of ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of this chapter shall
control. Where the provisions of this chapter are or become repugnant
to state or federal law and cannot be reconciled therewith, the provisions
of such law shall govern.
