(A) Improvement location permits. Within the jurisdiction of the Commission, no structure or improvement or use of land, may be altered, changed, placed, erected or located on platted or unplatted lands, unless the structure, improvement or use, and its location, conform with the master plan and ordinance of the county, city or town, as may be applicable, and an improvement location permit for such structure, improvement or use has been issued. It is hereby declared that the intent of the permit requirements of the ordinance shall not prevail with respect to agricultural buildings and uses.
