No land or premises may be used and no building or structure
may be erected, raised, moved, extended, enlarged, altered, or used
for any purpose other than one permitted by this chapter for the zone
in which the land, premises, building or structure is located. All
uses and construction shall be in conformity with the regulations
provided for the zone in which such land, premises, building or structure
is located. Extreme deviations from rectangular lot shapes and straight
lot lines shall not be permitted unless made necessary by the presence
of special topographic or other special physical conditions affecting
a lot found appropriate by the land use board having jurisdiction.
Any use not permitted by this chapter shall be deemed to be
prohibited. Any prohibited uses contained in this chapter, shall not
be deemed to be an exhaustive list, but have been included for the
purposes of clarity and to illustrate, by example, some of the uses
deemed undesirable and incompatible.
[Ord. No. 17-89, § 1.7]
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the
promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general
welfare. It is not intent of this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul
or in any way impair or interfere with any existing provisions of
the law or ordinance, or any rules, regulations, or permits previously
adopted or issued, or which shall be adopted or issued, pursuant to
law, relating to the use of buildings or premises. However, where
this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings
or premises or upon the height of buildings or requires larger yards,
or other open spaces, than are imposed or required by other existing
provisions of law or ordinance or by such rules, regulations or permits,
or by such easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this
chapter shall control.
