In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety or the general welfare. Whenever the requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations, ordinances or chapters, the more restrictive provisions or those imposing the higher standards shall govern.
No site plan shall be approved, no building permit or certificate of occupancy issued or variance granted under this chapter for premises upon which there is an existing violation of this chapter or any related Village regulation governing either building construction or the use of land and structures within the Village of Corinth. This limitation does not, however, prohibit such an approval, issuance or grant with respect to a legal nonconforming use or legal noncomplying structure.
