1.07.01 INTERPRETATION
The Lillington UDO is intended to be administered with the flexibility to respond to unique circumstances of individual properties in ways that best achieve its purposes.
A. This UDO establishes many, but not all, of the standards and procedures for development. Other portions of the Code of Ordinances, as well as other standards, shall apply to development, including, but not limited to, building codes, fire codes, utility, street and drainage design and construction standards.
B. The issuance of any development approval pursuant to this UDO shall not relieve the recipient from the responsibility to comply with all other town, county, state or federal laws, ordinances, rules or regulations.
C. References to other regulations or provisions of the UDO are for the convenience of the reader. The lack of a cross-reference does not exempt a land, building, structure, or use from other regulations.
D. The UDO contains numerous graphics, pictures, illustrations, and drawings to assist the reader in understanding and applying the UDO. However, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between the text of the UDO and any such graphic, picture, illustration, or drawing, the text controls unless otherwise provided in the specific section.
1.07.02 CONFLICT
When provisions of the Lillington UDO impose higher standards than are required in any other statute or local ordinance or regulation, provisions of the Lillington UDO shall govern. When the provisions of any other statute or local ordinance or regulation impose higher standards than are required by the provisions of the Lillington UDO, the provisions of that statute or local ordinance or regulation shall govern.
