In recognition that enabling statutes are not intended to give to municipalities authority to control the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or its agents, and in recognition that the United States is supreme when it operates within its powers, and that neither a state nor its political subdivisions may interfere with it, the City hereby declares that this chapter shall yield to the use, height, bulk and area controls, and other such controls contained within this chapter, established by either the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States of America, when such controls are lawfully established pursuant to legislation governing urban renewal, consistent with a City-approved urban renewal plan. The City acknowledges that the strict enforcement of the regulations contained herein would, if those regulations were inconsistent with lawful urban renewal controls, constitute interference with the United States and/or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the legitimate exercise of its/their constitutional duties.
A. This section shall extend to a redevelopment authority, where authorized by City Council and which is operating under authority granted to it by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
B. In the event that there are no urban renewal parcel controls specified, the zoning district standards established in this chapter shall apply.
