For the purposes listed in §§ 59.69,
59.692, 59.694 and 87.30, Wis. Stats., the Board of Supervisors of
Price County in regular session do ordain as follows.
This chapter shall be known as, referred to,
and cited as the "Zoning Ordinance for Price County, Wisconsin," and
hereinafter referred to as "this chapter."
The purpose of this chapter is to promote and
to protect the public health, morals, safety, and general welfare
of the County. It is intended to encourage the use of lands and natural
resources in Price County in accordance with their character and adaptability;
to promote orderly development; to secure safety to health, life and
property; to prevent highways from economic suffocation by encroaching
uses; to preserve land values; and to ensure a quality environment
for future generations. This chapter is intended to accomplish this
purpose by providing for the proper location, construction, and use
of buildings and structures and the use of land, shorelands, air and
water within the unincorporated areas of Price County.
The provisions of this chapter shall be held
to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion and protection
of the public health, morals, safety, or general welfare; whenever
the requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements
of any other lawfully adopted regulations or private covenants, the
most restrictive, or that imposing the highest standards, shall govern.
If any section, clause, provision, or portion
of this chapter is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this chapter shall not
be affected thereby. If any application of this chapter to a particular
structure, land, or water is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not be applicable
to any other structure, land, or water not specifically included in
said judgment.
All prior County ordinances, or parts of ordinances,
and amendments thereto conflicting with this chapter are hereby repealed
and superseded by this chapter, including the Zoning Ordinance for
Price County, Wisconsin, adopted December 11, 1934, and the Comprehensive
Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Price County, enacted by the County
under § 59.69, Wis. Stats., and adopted by this County Board
on August 13, 1970, or amendments thereto, which are hereby repealed
and superseded by this chapter.

Board of Supervisors, this chapter shall be in full force and effect
in each town, as provided in Wisconsin Statutes.
