(A) General. The provisions of this chapter shall be minimum requirements. This chapter is not intended to abrogate any law, easement, covenant, or private agreement. Whenever the regulations provided in this chapter impose greater restrictions on the character of the use of buildings or lands than are imposed under any other law of the state, then the regulations established by virtue of this chapter shall prevail only if they assure the promotion of the health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the citizens.
(B) Historic buildings and districts. Where preservation of existing conditions or restoration to original conditions consistent with the intent of an historic restoration project would constitute violations of the provisions of this chapter, a building on the National Register of Historic Places, a building within an established Historic District of the city, or other declared landmark of the state shall be exempt from such requirements that conflict with historic accuracy.
