(A) This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the “Town of Hennessey Unified Development Ordinance” and establishes the regulations and standards governing the use and development of land within the town.
(B) The town is authorized by the powers pursuant to the state legislature. The Town Board of Trustees chooses to exercise broad powers including the regulation of zoning, planning and subdivision of land. In addition, the Town Board of Trustees intends that all other available powers shall support this chapter including those powers and those provided by state law, such as, but not limited to, the provisions of 11 O.S. §§ 11-43-101 et seq. If other authority is available because of changes in statutory and case law, state and federal, the Town Board of Trustees intends to avail itself of those resources as well.
(C) This chapter shall apply to all land, buildings, structures and uses thereof located within the town. No person shall begin or change a land use or development in the town without first obtaining a permit or approval from the Zoning Administrator. Uses not allowed or permitted are prohibited.
(D) This chapter has been adopted pursuant to Ordinance 382, dated July 8, 2021, and as amended thereto.
