                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

EXEMPTIONS FROM APPLICABILITY OF THIS CHAPTER; CONFLICTS IN PROVISIONS OF LAW
(§ 36-9.1)

This chapter shall not be applicable to farm structures as defined in § 36-3
unless they are within the purview of the Uniform Statewide Building Code, as
provided in § 36-99. Further, the creation of a redevelopment or conservation
area, or designation of an individual structure as blighted pursuant to §
36-49.1:1, under the process for determination of spot blight, shall not
abrogate the right to farm as protected in Chapter 3 (§ 3.2-300 et seq.) of
Title 3.2. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and §
3.2-302, the provisions of § 3.2-302 shall control. If there is a conflict
between the provisions of this chapter and § 25.1-106, the provisions of §
25.1-106 shall control. However, nothing herein shall be construed to preclude
enforcement of local, state or federal criminal laws with respect to criminal
activities occurring on a property where one or more farm structures are
located.
