In any case where the provisions of this chapter conflict with the provisions of the underlying zoning, the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
(Ord. 1853 § 2 (Exh. B), 2018)
The provisions of this chapter are declared to be separate and severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or portion of this chapter, or the invalidity of the application thereof to any person, owner, or circumstance shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this chapter, or the validity of its application to other persons, owners or circumstances.
(Ord. 1853 § 2 (Exh. B), 2018)
This chapter establishes minimum standards which are to be applied to specific land use and platting actions in order to prevent further degradation of critical areas in the city, and is not intended to limit the application of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Projects subject to SEPA shall be reviewed and may also be conditioned or denied.
(Ord. 1853 § 2 (Exh. B), 2018)
Since floods more severe than the 100-year flood occur on rare occasions, reliance on this chapter will not altogether guarantee freedom from flood damage, nor shall this chapter create liability on the part of the city for such damage. It is further noted that other data regarding 100-year floodplain elevations may exist which indicate a more severe threat than the data established by FEMA. Information on these other data sources shall be kept and made available at Burlington City Hall.
