§ 17.01.020. Interpretation; conflict with other laws.

A.

The interpretation and application of the provisions of this Title shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare. Whenever the requirements of this Title are at variance with the requirements of the Castle Rock Municipal Code or any other lawfully adopted rule, regulation, or ordinance, the more restrictive or that imposing the higher standards shall govern.

B.

Certain capitalized terms used throughout this Title shall have the meaning defined in Section 17.01.060.

C.

To the extent any provision of this Title or any provision of a planned development is inconsistent with any federal or state legal requirement (a "Controlling Legal Requirement"), then this Title, and any provision of any planned development, are intended to be and shall be interpreted to be consistent with such Controlling Legal Requirement. To the extent any Controlling Legal Requirement, when properly interpreted, would create additional requirements (e.g. reasonable accommodations or waiver of otherwise valid provisions), then this Title, and any provision of any planned development, are intended to be and shall be interpreted to be consistent with such Controlling Legal Requirement. Such Controlling Legal Requirements may include, but are not limited to, the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, Telecommunications Act, and any amendments or regulations related thereto. The Director has the authority to interpret provisions of this Title and planned developments to be consistent with all Controlling Legal Requirements by administrative decision. The Director also has the authority to determine and grant reasonable accommodation requests, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
