Many amendments to <br />the Code have been adopted since that time, but a significant number of zoning <br />provisions do not reflect issues of concern today, and may in some cases conflict <br />with other Code provisions, as piecemeal amendments have been made in the <br />past. At a minimum, there is a current need to clarify existing ordinance <br />
