See § 25-2-2 (approvals in violation of the zoning code are void); § 25-76 (no <br /> conveyance of lots until lawful final approval); § 23-33 (lot size to conform with zoning code); § <br /> 23-8 (no building permits to issue until conformance with zoning code); § 25-230 (any permit <br /> issued not in conformance with the zoning code is a violation).
