Any act or activity regulated in this title shall also comply with all other applicable requirements of city code, laws, and regulations.

A. The more specific regulation applies to a land use application. Regulations, conditions or procedural requirements that are specific to an individual land use shall supersede regulations, conditions or procedural requirement of general application.

B. A land use includes the necessary structures to support the use unless specifically prohibited or the context clearly indicates otherwise.

C. Chapter and section headings, captions, illustrations and references to other sections or titles are for reference or explanation only and shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify, or in any manner affect the scope, meaning or intent of any section. In case of any ambiguity, difference of meaning or implication between the text and heading, caption or illustration, the text and the permitted use tables shall control. All applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in a text section or land use table.

D. The words “will,” “shall,” and “must” are mandatory, and the word “may” is discretionary. The word “should” is mandatory unless waived by the zoning administrator due to special circumstances.

E. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, words in the present tense shall include past and future tense, and words in the singular shall include the plural, or vice versa. Except for words and terms defined in this title, all words and terms used in this title shall have their customary meanings.

G. Distances shall be measured horizontally unless otherwise specified.

H. The word “building” includes a portion of a building and a portion of the lot on which it stands.
