§ 185-42
Compliance with other regulations
- A. In the event of a conflict between this chapter and the Rhode Island State Building Code, the State Building Code shall control in all instances except when the provisions of this chapter impose stricter or more stringent requirements. In cases of doubt, the State Building Code shall control. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any applicant from complying fully with all applicable provisions of the State Building Code.
- B. Satisfaction of the requirements of this chapter shall not relieve any applicant of the responsibility of obtaining such other permits or approvals as may be required under applicable provisions of other codes, ordinances, statutes, regulations or rules of any unit of local, state or federal government. Where any such code, ordinance, statute, regulation or rule requires approval as a prerequisite to the issuance of a zoning permit, evidence of such approval shall be submitted at the time of application for the zoning permit.
- C. Whenever the terms of this chapter require a higher standard than is required in any other ordinance, statute, regulation or rule, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail. Whenever the provisions of another ordinance, statute, regulation or rule require a higher standard than this chapter, the provisions of such other ordinance, statute, regulation or rule shall prevail.
