5.02.010: PURPOSE:
Pursuant to powers granted by the state as set forth in various provisions of the Utah Code Annotated, 1953, as amended, the city intends by this chapter to regulate and license businesses and occupations within its corporate limits, to maintain a current index of licensed businesses and occupations and to raise revenue necessary to regulate licensed entities.
It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, except those specifically repealed by the ordinance codified in this chapter. Where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon persons, premises or personal property than is imposed or required by such existing provisions of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provision of this chapter shall control. The amendment of this ordinance does not preclude enforcement of violations or collection of business license taxes and penalty fees under the code which existed at the time of taxation or violation prior to the implementation of any amendment. (Ord. 97-76 § 1, 1997)
