SEC. 174. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS, STIPULATIONS AND SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS
REQUIRED.
(See Interpretations related to this Section.)
Every condition, stipulation, special restriction and other limitation imposed by administrative actions pursuant to this Code, whether such actions are discretionary or ministerial, shall be
complied with in the development and use of land and structures. All such conditions, stipulations, special restrictions and other limitations shall become requirements of this Code, and
failure to comply with any such condition, stipulation, special restriction or other limitation shall constitute a violation of the provisions of this Code. Such conditions, stipulations, special
restrictions and other limitations shall include but not be limited to the following:
(a) Conditions prescribed by the Zoning Administrator and the City Planning Commission, and by the Board of Permit Appeals and the Board of Supervisors on appeal, in actions on
permits, licenses, conditional uses and variances, and in other actions pursuant to their authority under this Code;
(b) Stipulations upon which any reclassification of property prior to May 2, 1960, was made contingent by action of the City Planning Commission, where the property was developed as
stipulated and the stipulations as to the character of improvements are more restrictive than the requirements of this Code that are otherwise applicable. Any such stipulations shall remain
in full force and effect under this Code;
(c) Special restrictions prescribed by the Zoning Administrator in actions on permits pursuant to the authority prescribed by this Code, and in the performance of other powers and duties
to secure compliance with this Code.

SEC. 175. APPROVAL OF PERMITS OR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.
(a) No application for a building permit, Development Application, or other permit or license, or for a permit of Occupancy, shall be approved by the Planning Department, and no
permit or license shall be issued by any City department, which would authorize a new use, a change of use or maintenance of an existing use of any land or structure contrary to the
provisions of this Code.
(b) No such application, permit or license shall be approved or issued by any City department for the construction, reconstruction, enlargement, alteration, relocation or occupancy of any
structure if the construction or other activities that would be authorized by the requested permit or license would not conform in all respects to this Code, or if the structure or any feature
thereof is designed, constructed, arranged, maintained or intended to be used for a purpose or in a manner contrary to the provisions of this Code.
(c) No such application, permit or license shall be approved or issued by any city department for the construction, reconstruction, enlargement, alteration, relocation or occupancy of any
land or structure if the lot on which the use or structure is or will be situated has been created, reduced or maintained contrary to the provisions in this Code. This prohibition shall apply to
all lots involved in any change of lot lines that caused any of said lots to be created or reduced in dimension or area, or in relation to any structure thereon, contrary to the provisions of this
Code, regardless of whether one or more of the lots involved remained in compliance with such provisions.
