A. Any
building or structure for which a building permit has been issued
by the City of Harrisonville may be constructed according to the terms
of said permit. In addition, during a period of ninety (90) days following
the adoption of this Chapter, a permit may be issued for any building
or structure for which plans were substantially complete on the date
of the adoption of this Chapter provided the City Administrator, in
his/her judgment, is convinced that the plans were indeed prepared
in good faith and that substantial and undue hardship would prevail
if the construction were not allowed to proceed. Such building, structure
or site conditions may not conform in all respects with this Chapter
but shall conform to the previous Zoning Ordinance and other codes
of the City of Harrisonville.
B. This
period of transition shall terminate ninety (90) days following the
date of the adoption of this Chapter and thereafter all permits for
construction shall require full conformance with this Chapter. In
