(A) Meanings of Words and Phrases
Words and phrases not defined in this chapter but defined elsewhere in the LDO or Town Code shall be given the meanings set forth there. All other words and phrases shall be given their common, ordinary meanings, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Section headings or captions are for reference purposes only and shall not be used in the interpretation of this chapter. Illustrations included in the code shall be used in interpreting the relevant provisions, but where the text conflicts with an illustration, the text shall control.
(B) Relationship to Land Development Ordinance and Town Code
To the maximum extent practicable, this chapter shall be interpreted in accordance with rules of interpretation and construction and definitions provided in this Ordinance and Town Code. In case of conflict among them, however, this shall be the order of priority in selecting among apparently conflicting provisions:
(1) Where this chapter directly addresses an issue, it shall control over any conflicts;
(2) Where this chapter does not directly address an issue or is unclear, the other chapters of this Ordinance shall control over other provisions of the Town Code; and
(3) Where neither this chapter nor other chapters of this Ordinance directly addresses or resolves an issue of interpretation or construction, then this chapter shall be interpreted in the context of the Town Code.
