§ 184-124. Applicability of zoning regulations.

A. 

No land or premises may be used and no building or structure may be erected, raised, moved, extended, enlarged, altered or used for any purpose other than a purpose permitted by this chapter for the zone district in which the land, premises, building or structure is located, and all uses and construction shall be in conformity with the regulations provided for the zone district in which such land, premises, building or structure is located, and in conformity with the Uniform Construction Code.

B. 

In applying the provisions of this chapter, a departure from the literal requirements shall not be considered a violation if, in the opinion of the Zoning Officer, the departure is de minimus. For purposes of administering this provision, "de minimus" is intended to mean that the departure from the literal requirements of this chapter is inappreciable and does not impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan and this chapter. Any interested party may appeal a determination of the Zoning Officer in this regard in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VIII.

C. 

No development shall be permitted without first obtaining zoning approval, a construction permit, demolition permit, or certificate of occupancy, as applicable, unless specifically exempted by this chapter or other law. No zoning approval, construction permit, demolition permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Construction Official or Zoning Officer except upon application and approval therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article X and in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.

D. 

The control and regulation of the uses of buildings and structures by this chapter shall apply equally to the nature and extent of the uses of the lot or lots upon which they are erected.
