the date of the adoption of Ordinance #4, but not being in conformity with this Ordinance will be regarded as non-conforming. As such, these non-conforming structures and uses may be allowed to legally continue to exist subject to the provisions of Section 405, Subd. 108. 400.4 Interpretation and Application. The intent and purposes as established in Section 400.2 will be considered in interpreting and applying Ordinance #4. If the provisions of this Ordinance impose greater restrictions than those of any statute, another ordinance, or regulation, the provisions of Ordinance #4 will prevail. If provisions of any statute, another ordinance or regulation impose greater restrictions that Ordinance #4, the provisions of that statute, another ordinance or regulation will prevail. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare. 400.5 Performance Standards. Every use permitted by Ordinance #4 shall be so established and maintained so as to comply with the provisions of this Ordinance. The City Council may require the owner or operator of a use permitted in this Ordinance to provide such tests or investigations by an independent testing organization that is satisfactory to the City Council. These tests or investigations need to provide evidence that the use is in compliance with these standards. The cost of the tests or investigations shall be shared equally by the owner or operator and the City unless the results disclose non-compliance to Ordinance #4. If non- compliance is shown to exist, the entire cost shall be borne by the owner or operator. Nothing in this provision would preclude the City from making any investigations and tests it finds appropriate to determine compliance with Ordinance #4. 400.6 Permits Required. Except as specifically excluded in Ordinance #4, no building, structure, or premises may be erected, constructed, reconstructed, converted, enlarged, altered, moved, used or occupied unless an appropriate building permit has been issued by the City. 400.7 Uses Not Specified. If a use is not specifically permitted, permitted by special use permit, or prohibited, then the use will be considered prohibited. 400.8 Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application of any provision to particular circumstances is held invalid a court of law or changes in State legislation, the remainder of the Ordinance or the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not be affected. 400.9 Repeal. Ordinances, including all prior Zoning Ordinances and Amendments or parts thereof, in force at the time this Ordinance shall take effect and Ordinance inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed, including Centerville Ordinance # 1 O. Nothing contained in this Ordinance repeals or amends any Ordinance requiring a permit or license to engage in any business or occupation.
