(A) Within the city, and the contiguous unincorporated portions of the county over which the city exercises planning and zoning jurisdiction, no structure, improvement, or use of land may be altered, changed, placed, erected, or located on platted or unplatted lands, unless the structure, improvement, or use, and its locations, conform with the master plan and ordinances of the city and an improvement location permit for the structure, improvement, or use has been issued.
