SECTION 8.5 AREAS NOT INCLUDED WITHIN ZONES:
In any case where property has not been included within a zone, such property shall be considered to be in the C O zone (CONSERVATION ZONE) until otherwise classified.
ARTICLE IX
GENERAL REGULATIONS
SECTION 9.0 PURPOSE:
General regulations apply to all Districts. Where requirements of a general regulation and a district regulation differ, the more restrictive requirement shall prevail.
SECTION 9.1 REDUCTION IN BUILDING SITE AREA:
Notwithstanding other provisions of this Ordinance, no lot, in any zone, may be reduced in area below the minimum lot area as specified herein for the zone within which said lot is located except where such reduction has been brought about by the expansion or acquiring of rights of way for a street, road, or highway. If, however, by some means (e.g., misinterpretation of law, erroneous lot descriptions, etc.) the lot area is reduced below the minimum required lot area as specified herein for the zone, all of the uses and structures contained on the remaining portion of the area shall be subject to compliance with all provisions of this ordinance. In the event that the uses and structures cannot comply in such circumstances, the property owner shall seek relief from the Board of Adjustment as provided for in Section 18.5 of this ordinance.
SECTION 9.2 INTERFERENCE WITH TRAFFIC SIGNALS:
Notwithstanding other provisions of this ordinance, in any zone, no sign, structure, tree, planting or vegetation or any portion thereof shall protrude over or into any street, road, or highway so as to create confusion around, or otherwise interfere with, traffic signals of any kind.
SECTION 9.3 VISION CLEARANCE AT CORNERS, CURB CUTS, AND RAILROAD CROSSINGS:
Notwithstanding any part of this ordinance or any permit granted, or any variance granted by the Board of Adjustment; no type of structure, vehicle, tree, planting, vegetation, sign, or fence or any type of obstacle or any portion thereof shall be placed or retained in such a manner which would create a traffic hazard or would obstruct the vision clearance at corners, curb cuts, or railroad crossings in any zone.
SECTION 9.4 FRONTAGE ON CORNER LOTS AND DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOTS:
On lots having frontage on more than one street, in any zone, the minimum front yard shall be provided for each street, road, or highway in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.
