20.06.010 Applicability.
(a) The provisions of this title shall apply to both public and private use of land within the corporate limits of the city.
(b) Hereafter, no use shall be conducted, and no building, structure and appurtenance shall be erected, relocated, remodeled, reconstructed, altered or enlarged unless in compliance with the provisions of this title, and then only after securing all permits and approvals required hereby. It shall be unlawful to build or use any building or structure or to use premises in the city for any purpose or use other than one permitted by the terms of this title in the area in which the same is located.
(c) In interpreting and applying the provisions of this title, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the general public health, safety and welfare. It is not intended that the provisions of this title interfere with, abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between private parties. However, where this ordinance imposes a greater restriction upon the use of land and/or buildings or in general requires higher standards than other ordinances, rules, or private agreements, the provisions of this title shall govern.

The zoning administrator shall administer and enforce this title. He may be provided with the assistance of such other persons as the city council may direct.
If the zoning administrator finds that any of the pro visions of this title are being violated, he shall notify in writing the person responsible for such violations, indicating the nature of the violation and ordering the action necessary to correct it. He shall order discontinuance of illegal use of land, building, or structures; removal of illegal buildings or structures, or of illegal additions, alterations, or structural changes; discontinuance of illegal work being done; or shall take any action authorized by this title to ensure compliance with or to prevent violations of its provisions. (Ord. 1002 (Attachment A) (part), 1989)
20.06.030 Permits.
(a) No building or other structure shall be erected, moved, added to, or structurally altered without a permit therefor issued by the zoning administrator. No building permit shall be issued by the zoning administrator except in conformity with the provisions of this title, unless he receives a written order from the city council in the form of an administrative review, conditional use, or variance as provided by this title.
(b) Building permits or other permits or approvals issued on the basis of plans and applications approved by the zoning administrator authorize only the use, arrangement, and construction set forth in such approved plans and applications, and no other use, arrangement, or construction.
Use, arrangement, or construction at variance with that authorized shall be deemed a violation of this title, and punishable as provided in Chapter 20.75 hereof. (Ord. 1002 (Attachment A) (part), 1989)
