A. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be the minimum requirements necessary for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare.
B. This title is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any ordinance, rule or regulation, statute or other provision of law except as noted herein. Where any provisions of this title impose restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of this title or any other ordinance, rule or regulation, or other provision of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control.
C. This title is not intended to abrogate any easement, covenant or any other private agreement or restriction, provided that where the provisions of this title are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than such easement, covenant, or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of this title shall govern. Where the provisions of the easement, covenant, or private agreement or restriction impose duties and obligations more restrictive than this title, and such private provisions are not inconsistent with this title or determinations thereunder, then such private provisions shall be operative and supplemental to this title and determinations made thereunder.
D. If any part or provision of this title or application thereof to any person or circumstance is judged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision, or application directly involved in all controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this title or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances.
