The Zoning Ordinance is enforced by the Zoning Administrator with the assistance of inspectors in the Zoning Office and the Community Code Enforcement Section. No building or other structure may be erected, reconstructed, enlarged, moved or structurally altered without an appropriate permit.
No structure may be used without a certificate of occupancy issued by the Zoning Office. The use of any land or building may not be changed, without a certificate of occupancy. The Zoning Administrator may not grant a permit or certificate of occupancy for the construction, alteration, use, or change of use, of any building or land, if the building or land, as proposed to be constructed, altered or used, would be in violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
If the Zoning Administrator finds that any of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance are being violated, the person responsible for such violation will be notified in writing. This notice will state the nature of the violation, and order the action necessary to correct it. The Zoning Administrator may take any other action authorized by law to ensure compliance with the Zoning Ordinance or to prevent violation of it.
