§ 713.09.
Whenever any planning commission, board, or officer certifies to the legislative authority
any plan for the districting or zoning of the municipal corporation according to the
bulk and location of buildings and other structures including percentage of lot occupancy,
set back building lines, and area of yards, courts, and other open spaces such legislative
authority may, in the interest of the promotion of the public health, safety, convenience,
comfort, prosperity, or general welfare, regulate the bulk and location of buildings
and other structures thereafter erected or altered, including the percentage of lot
occupancy, set back building lines, and the area of yards, courts and other open spaces. For such purposes the legislative authority may divide the municipal corporation
into districts of such number, shape, and area as is best suited to carry out the
purposes of this section. Any such regulation imposing a smaller percentage of lot occupancy, wider or larger
courts, deeper yards, or other more strict limitations than those provided by statute
shall, within the district for which it is imposed, prevail over such statute.
