The provisions of this code shall apply to all site development activities, both public and private, within the city of Gig Harbor.

Any land development which is required by operation of any city of Gig Harbor code, state law, or federal law to construct, install, or modify any natural or manmade drainage features within, abutting, or serving the development shall do so in accordance with this code. However, where the provisions of this code directly conflict with any other Gig Harbor code, state or federal law, comprehensive drainage plan, or special study, the more stringent provisions shall apply to the extent permissible by law.

Approval of any land development activity by the city of Gig Harbor does not constitute approval of other applicable permits that may be required by other agencies. The fact that any activity is exempt from the permit requirements of this code shall not constitute an exemption from any other city code, ordinance, or state or federal law. (Ord. 1169 § 2, 2009).
