(A) Conflicting requirements. The provisions of this chapter shall be the minimum requirements for the protection of the health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the people at large, and are designed to encourage the establishment and maintenance of reasonable community standards for the physical environment. If two or more provisions within this chapter are in conflict or are inconsistent with one another, then the provision which is most restrictive shall control.
(B) Overlapping regulations. When this chapter along with private covenants, private contracts, commitments, permits, agreements, state laws, federal laws or other regulations applies to a structure or parcel of land, the greater restriction shall control. In no instance shall this chapter be interpreted as altering or negating any other applicable regulations.
(C) Compliance. No structure shall be located, erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved, altered, converted, or enlarged; nor shall any structure or land be used or existing use be expanded, except in full compliance with all provisions of this chapter and after the lawful issuance of all permits and certificates required by this chapter.
(D) Additional Information. As the provisions of this chapter shall be the minimum requirements for the protection of the health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the people at large, and are designed to encourage the establishment and maintenance of reasonable community standards for the physical environment, the Planning Director of the Hancock County Area Plan Commission reserves the right to require additional information.
