Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall supplement all local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations existing in the Town of Rotterdam and other statutes and regulations of municipal authorities having jurisdiction applicable hereto. Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with any provision of an existing local law, ordinance or regulation, the provision or requirement of this chapter shall prevail.
Rotterdam, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 265 § 265-2 establishes that the rules in Chapter 265 work alongside—and, when necessary, override—other local laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations that apply to the same subject matter within the Town of Rotterdam. If any other local rule conflicts with Chapter 265, the requirements of Chapter 265 take precedence. This provision does not repeal other rules outright; it simply sets a hierarchy so that Chapter 265 governs in cases of direct conflict.
