(A) The provisions of this title shall be administered in pursuit of orderly growth and development and shall supplement and implement provisions of the comprehensive plan and capital improvements plan. By virtue of this title, the city council, planning and zoning commission and administrative staff of the City of Grace are vested with the authority to review, approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove applications for subdivision of land in accordance with the process and standards established hereby. No land development activity that constitutes subdivision or installation of subdivision improvements pursuant to the requirements of this title nor the filing of a subdivision plat in the office of the county recorder shall be undertaken without first obtaining the permits or approvals required by this title and other applicable laws.
(B) In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be minimum requirements. Sound engineering practices may require alternative designs to assure the integrity of public or shared private improvements. More stringent engineering requirements may be imposed if necessary, to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Where any provision of these requirements imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other ordinance, rule, regulation, or other provision of law, the provision which is more restrictive or imposes the standards most likely to protect the public health, safety and general welfare shall control.
