The following are general provisions propounded to make more clear, matters relative to scope and jurisdiction of this chapter:
A. No provision herein shall supersede the powers of other local legislative or regulatory bodies or relieve any property owner from complying with the requirements of any other state statute, code or ordinance of McHenry County, and any permit or license required thereunder shall be required in addition to any “certificate of appropriateness” or “economic hardship” which may be required hereunder; provided, however, that where a “certificate of appropriateness” or “economic hardship” is required, no such other permit or license shall be issued by any other agency under the jurisdiction of the McHenry County Board before a certificate has been issued by the commission as herein provided.
B. The use of property and improvements which have been designated under this chapter shall be governed by the McHenry County Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
C. If any particular section of this chapter is declared to be unconstitutional or void, only the particular section is affected, and all other sections of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect. If any part, sentence, paragraph, subsection, section or clause is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid as applied to a particular property, building or other structure, it is provided that the application of such portion of the chapter to other property, buildings or structures shall not be affected.
D. For purposes of remedying emergency conditions determined to be dangerous to life, health or property, the Commission may waive the procedures set forth herein and grant immediate approval for a “certificate of appropriateness.” The Commission shall state its reasons in writing for such approval and maintain a permanent file of such approvals.
