Gilberts — Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. B Vacant Buildings or Property § 9-6B-12
Effect on other ordinances; conflicting provisions
Operative Text
This article shall not be construed to prevent the enforcement of other applicable ordinances, codes, legislation, and regulations which prescribe standards other than are provided herein, and in the event of conflict, the most restrictive shall apply.
Section 9-6B-12 of Gilberts' vacant buildings ordinance establishes that this article operates alongside — not instead of — other applicable laws, codes, and regulations. Where another rule addresses the same subject matter with a stricter standard, that stricter standard governs. The provision is designed to prevent any gap or loophole that might arise from having multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators managing vacant buildings or property in Gilberts should be aware that compliance with Title 9 Ch. 6 Art. B alone may not be sufficient if other local, state, or federal codes impose additional or stricter requirements on the same conditions. Under § 9-6B-12, the most restrictive applicable standard is the one that controls, meaning a property owner's obligations can be shaped by ordinances or regulations beyond this article. Staying current with all overlapping codes — including building, fire, and health regulations — is a hallmark of compliant vacant-property management.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 9-6B-12 means that tenants and community members are protected by the full range of applicable standards, not just those spelled out in this particular article.
