This code is enacted for the purposes of promoting the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, convenience, prosperity, order and general welfare; to promote productive and enjoyable harmony between man and the built environment; to achieve a balance between population and resource use which will permit high standards of living and a wide sharing of amenities; to encourage the residential, commercial, and industrial growth of the community as well as the most appropriate use of land; and to encourage the development of the community in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan.
110.2 Interpretation
A. Validity of Other Laws
Where this code imposes a greater restriction upon the use of structures or land upon height or bulk of structures, or requires larger open space or yards than are imposed by other ordinances, laws, or regulations, the provisions of this code shall not be construed to prevent the enforcement of other ordinances, laws, or regulations which prescribe more restrictive limitations.
B. Severability

Rogers County. In order for a property
subject to annexation to be rezoned to a district other that AG Agriculture or

Owasso Land Use Master Plan. If a
