This chapter, in part, carries forward by reenactment some of the provisions of the "Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Sparta" adopted by the Town Council, 9-4-1964, as amended, and it is not the intention to repeal but rather to reenact and continue, in force, the existing provisions so that all rights and liabilities that have accrued hereunder are preserved and may be enforced. All provisions of the zoning ordinance of the town enacted in 1964, as amended, which are reenacted herein are hereby repealed. All suits at law or in equity and/or all prosecutions resulting from the violation of any zoning ordinance heretofore in effect, which are now pending in any of the courts of the state or of the United States, shall not be abated or abandoned by reason of the adoption of this chapter but shall be prosecuted to their finality the same as if this chapter had not been adopted; any and all violations of the existing zoning ordinance, prosecutions for which have not yet been instituted, may be hereafter filed and prosecuted; and nothing in this chapter shall be construed as to abandon, abate or dismiss any litigation or prosecution now pending and/or which may heretofore have been instituted or prosecuted.
(Ord. passed 9-10-1984)
