[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
These regulations which shall be known as the Zoning Code of
Concordia, Missouri, hereinafter referred to as "this Code."
[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
The purpose of this Code is to safeguard the health, property
and public welfare by controlling the design, location, use or occupancy
of all buildings and structures through the regulated and orderly
development of land and land uses within this jurisdiction.
[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
A. The
provisions of this Code shall apply to the construction, addition,
alteration, moving, repair and use of any building, structure, parcel
of land or sign within a jurisdiction, except work located primarily
in a public way, public utility towers and poles and public utilities
unless specifically mentioned in this Code.
B. Where,
in any specific case, different Sections of this Code specify different
requirements, the more restrictive shall govern. Where there is conflict
between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific
requirement shall be applicable.
C. In
fulfilling these purposes, this Chapter is intended to benefit the
public as a whole and not any specific person or class of persons.
Although, through the implementation, administration and enforcement
of this Code, benefits and detriments will be enjoyed and suffered
by specific individuals, such is merely a by-product of the overall
benefit to the whole community. Therefore, unintentional breaches
of the obligations of administration and enforcement imposed on the
jurisdiction and enforcement hereby shall not be enforceable in tort.
D. If
any portion of this Code is held invalid for any reason, the remaining
herein shall not be affected.
