§ 33-1.9. Relationship to other regulations.

The use of buildings and land within the parish shall be subject to all other applicable provisions of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances as well as this UDC, whether or not such other provisions of the Code are specifically cross-referenced herein. Cross-references to other provisions of this Code and other applicable rules and regulations are for the convenience of the reader; lack of a cross-reference should not be construed as an indication that other provisions do not apply.

(1)

Conflicts. Whenever any provision of this UDC or any other applicable law, rule, contract, resolution or regulation of the parish, state or federal government contains certain standards covering the same subject matter, the more restrictive requirements or higher standards shall govern, unless otherwise provided.

(2)

Development under prior regulations. Any application found to be complete by the applicable reviewer prior to the effective date of this UDC shall be processed under the prior regulations unless the plat or plan has not been recorded within six (6) months of the effective date of this UDC.

(3)

Relationship to private agreements. This UDC is not intended to abrogate, annul, or otherwise interfere with any servitude, covenant, or any other private agreement or legal relationship; provided, however, that where the regulations of the UDC are more restrictive or impose higher standards or requirements than such servitude, covenant, or other private agreement, the regulations of this UDC shall govern.

(4)

Relationship to other regulations and codes. This UDC establishes many, but not all of the standards and procedures for development. Other portions of this Code, as well as other standards, shall apply to development, including, but not limited to adopted zoning codes, building codes, fire codes, utility, street and drainage design, and construction standards. This UDC includes headings for regulations that are located in other chapters of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances. The intent of the parish council is to move these provisions to this UDC as they are reviewed and updated.
