No structure or land shall be used and no structure or part thereof shall be located, erected, moved, reconstructed, extended, converted, demolished or structurally altered, without full compliance with the provisions of the ZDO and all other applicable city, state, and federal regulations.
(Ord. 05-10, passed 3-23-10)
(A) Acquisition of interest in land by state for public purposes. The provisions of this ZDO shall not require formal subdivision of land as a result of actions taken by the State of South Carolina and its political subdivisions to acquire land or interests in land for public rights-of-way and easements.
(B) Emergency action by city. The city or city agencies or departments may be exempt from the provisions of this ZDO when an emergency exists such that it is impossible to submit to the normal procedures and requirements of this ZDO and quick and instant action is necessary to secure the public health, safety, or welfare. The City Council shall ratify such exemption after the fact at its next regularly scheduled meeting, and shall base its ratification on specified findings of fact related to the emergency involved.
(C) Homes for the disabled. Pursuant to S.C. Code § 6-29-770(E), the provisions of this ZDO do not apply to a home serving nine or fewer mentally or physically handicapped persons if the home provides care on a 24-hour basis and is approved or licensed by a state agency or department or is under contract with the agency or department for that purpose. Pursuant to S.C. Code § 6-29-770(E), prior to locating a home for handicapped persons in the city, the appropriate state agency or department or the private entity proposing to operate the home shall first give prior notice to the city, advising of the exact location of the proposed home, and comply with the other requirements of that provision, state law, and federal law.
(Ord. 05-10, passed 3-23-10)
If the provisions of this ZDO are inconsistent with one another or if the provisions of this ZDO conflict with provisions found in other adopted codes or ordinances of the city, the more restrictive provision shall govern unless the terms of the provisions specify otherwise.
(Ord. 05-10, passed 3-23-10)
If the provisions of this ZDO conflict with the provisions of private easements, covenants, or restrictions, the stricter of the requirements shall apply. The city shall not be responsible for monitoring or enforcing private covenants and restrictions, although the city may inquire as to whether land is subject to covenants and restrictions during the review of development applications.
(Ord. 05-10, passed 3-23-10)
(A) General. The official zoning map designates the location and boundaries of the various zoning districts established in this ZDO within the city. The official zoning map shall be kept on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator and is available for public inspection during normal business hours. The original official version of the map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor attested by the City Clerk-Treasurer, and shall bear the seal of the city. It may be kept in either hard copy or digital form. It shall be the final authority as to the status of the current zone district classification of land in the city, and shall only be amended in accordance with this subsection.
(B) Damaged, destroyed, or lost. In the event the official zoning map is damaged, destroyed, lost, or becomes difficult to read and interpret due to the number of changes, the City Council may by resolution adopt a new official zoning map to replace the damaged, destroyed, or lost map. The new official zoning map shall not make any substantive changes (amendments), but may correct drafting and other clerical errors and omissions on the previous official zoning map. The revised official version of the map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor attested by the City Clerk-Treasurer, and shall bear the seal of the city. Unless the previous official zoning map is lost or has been totally destroyed, the previous map and any significant parts remaining shall be preserved, together with all records of the City Council regarding its adoption and amendment.
