A. Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that all development produces an environment of stable and desirable character that is harmonious with existing and future development, and protects the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties, consistent with the general plan.
B. Applicability. The standards of this chapter apply to more than one zoning district (e.g., residential, commercial, manufacturing, etc.), and therefore, are combined in this chapter. These standards shall be considered in combination with the standards for each zoning district in Article II (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses). Where there may be a conflict, the standards specific to the zoning district shall override these general standards.
All structures, additions to structures, and uses shall conform to the standards of this chapter as determined applicable by the director, except as specified in Chapter 16.32 (Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Parcels).
